[AT] tractor hauling truck

[Cecil Bearden]

That trip range does not take into account running the air conditioner, 
heater, defroster, Wipers and lights....  My wife & I bought some Dewalt 
electric heated coats on sale a couple of years ago.  They were just 
barely more than the regular price of a battery and included a 12 and 
115 volt charger and an adapter for USB to charge your phone.  They sold 
out along the east Coast for the folks using them to commute and could 
not keep warm in the Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius when running lights 
heater defroster and wipers in snow while commuting to work..
When that cost per mile is figured in does it take into consideration 
the battery life and the replacement cost.  I talked to a Prius owner 
who had a 2 yr old one on the original battery and was looking to trade 
it in for a new one as the battery cost was a small fortune...
On another note, my Polaris Ranger 1000cc with EFI is the hardest thing 
on the place to start when the temp is under 45deg.    After the dealer 
tuning it up and changing oil, it still is the hardest thing to start on 
the planet...    I bought a couple of plugs this afternoon to make sure 
the dealer changed them....
I wish I had bought a Kubota Diesel with A/C.  The more I deal with 
gasoline engines the more I want to convert them to propane or diesel.   
I'm thinking seriously of adapting my "new" skid steer to propane.  It 
has a VG4d Wisconsin.  I have an air cooled heat exchanger for up to 
60hp.  The tank would add counterbalance weight.
