I have a Cub Cadet 123 that has no engine and thinking about converting it to battery / electric power.
I realize I need between 2500-3500 rpm and a constant duty motor unless I use a controller. I'm also not sure of the required HP. Electric is close to something like 2X gas so a golf cart motor (about 5hp) should work but needs all the electronic control stuff.
I saw a 1hp a 24V 1hp motor for sale and was wondering if that is sufficient to pull a cultivator or do I need something stronger? 2 - 12v batteries vs. 4 - 12v batteries is also a plus on the cost side.
Thoughts?
