That is so cool. I watched on YouTube and there are tons of positive comments from folks that have and do have them. There were a few sold on Ebay for under $800 that still work! I never heard of them before.

Biggest issues with them from what I have seen. Is because they used lead acid batteries they rust away badly. Where you would expect the engine to be is all battery compartment. I forgot how many deep cycle batteries they use. But, as with all lead acid batteries they give off very corrosive gasses and also will leak. If you don't pull the batteries out and keep after the underside with cleaning and coating they literally crumble away. I would think though if you kept after it, you'd have a pretty handy machine.
IIRC, the IH dealer Dad used had one of those with a teeny tiny little forklift mast on it in the shop.
