I think I have an idea about how much it will be, but were there any pitfalls? I think I'll take your advice about mechanics, lol.Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13922448288835318150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29597286.post-82127496901896159872010-07-14T16:10:18.131-04:002010-07-14T16:10:18.131-04:00Cameron:

The prices would be very attractive if I am willing to repower with an electric drive. <br /><br />My question: would an electric drive with solar panels & generator be suitable for long term sustainable (Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13922448288835318150noreply@blogger.com
