OX2 INDISPUTABLE ADVANTAGES
Battery-powered means comfort and health for the OX2 driver and those close-by. The major improvements over internal combustion engine (ICE) tractors:
- QUIET – 68 dBA at operator’s ear (similar to the noise of the fan in a microwave oven, making ear plugs and ear muffs optional. Unlike even the quietest ICE tractors that operate in the +85 dBA level and that is before powering up to cut the grass.
- CLEAN – battery-powered electric motors mean no choking exhaust fumes, no noxious greenhouse gases. Say good-bye to internal combustion engines that use damaging nitrous oxide to improve performance and are subject to spills while fueling, all at the expense of the environment.
- NO HEAT or VIBRATION –driver comfort is greatly improved, and fatigue is lessened. The OX2 is powered by busy, efficient little electrons spinning an axle. There are no clunky pistons and valves fired by gas exploding hundreds of times every minute inside an engine block.
- TOUGH ON WORK, EASY ON YOU– Foremost, tractors are about traction.
- With PUSH/PULL RATINGS of 3.5 tonnes (7,700 lbs.) on a flat, smooth surface, the OX2 makes light of heavy work.
- With the unique AUTO-LATCH SYSTEM it takes little time to change out an attachment. Go from mower deck to sweeper or grader in less than 1 minute.
- With a TIGHT TURNING RADIUS hug curved flower beds, spin about in warehouse aisles and avoid wasted time trying to get out of tight situations, thanks to the independent rear drive wheels.
- With the OUT-FRONT MOWER DECK, cutting beneath low hanging branches or plants is simple and does not damage the plants.
- CHARGE THE OX2 OVERNIGHT in a standard 3-prong 110/120V power outlet and run it for up to 8 hours.
- INSTANT START/STOP OPERATION means no delays and wasted energy warming up, idling on the job or before shutdown common with diesel motors and as recommended with many gas-powered tractors.
- TAKE ELECTRICAL POWER TO WHERE YOU NEED IT. An optional AC inverter supplies 110/120V power outlet for electric weed-eaters, leaf blowers, high speed drills and lighting. In a power outage, get temporary relief for that freezer in the garage right from the tractor.
- OVER THE AIR. Electric Tractor Inc. provides all owners with “Over the Air” updates and diagnostics.
SAFE BY DESIGN
- With an instant on/off switch for the tractor and attachments such as the cutting mower deck’s rotating blades, there is no delay when danger surfaces. Cut the switch or rise from the seat and snap, everything stops.
- Because there is no combustible fuel to store and handle, your insurance company doesn’t need to cover this risk and you pocket the savings.
- With attachments out-front so too is your line of sight. The OX2 has a sloping hood making is easier to see the job you are doing and evade potential trouble.
- The Electric OX2 offers the operator the convenience and safety of “Step Through” access to the driver’s seat form either side.
SAVINGS MOUNT THE MORE YOU USE THE OX2
- Operating savings over $3.00 per hour compared to gas-powered tractors (based on only 120 hrs active use annually). Double your weekly use and double the comparative savings!
- Because there are no engine fluids and filters nor expensive engine overhauls, regular maintenance is simply keeping the tractor nice and clean, batteries charged and topped up with water and keeping the tires inflated.
- Electric motors don’t have chains, belts, pulleys, spark plugs, crankshafts etc., so there is less to go wrong and less to replace.
- The OX2 is upgradable so spending a little to get only the features and capabilities you may want from the newest model year, you can avoid the high cost of trading up and extend the service life of your tractor. You save while enhancing the value of your tractor and only when it makes sense for you.
MEASURING REAL VALUE
- The OX2 towing model is expected to retail at a very competitive $7,000 before tax and delivery. Warehouses, terminals, nurseries, auto service centers, resorts and greenhouse operators can expect savings from lower running costs compared to a gas-powered tow tractor. The operating savings over 2 years of use can exceed the purchase price of the OX2.
- Home owners needing a tractor that is both multi-season and multi-purpose can also experience savings from a tractor that can do so much more than just cut grass. The OX2, used just 4 hours a week, will save hundreds of dollars in operating costs each year over gas-powered tractors. Even more, potentially thousands of dollars in capital by avoiding the need to buy multiple machines over the years.
- The OX2 is designed to last. With its modular design, upgrades are a simple way to extend the service life of the unit. Every year that an owner can delay the purchase of a new tractor means money in the bank. With lower running and maintenance costs along the way, owning the OX2 makes sound financial sense.
- The right tractor decision for the environment and for driver experience can also be the right economic choice. That’s real ‘value’! The OX2 garden tractor model is expected to retail for about $9,000 including the first attachment before tax and delivery. Additional attachments such as a rotary sweeper, grader or snow thrower are priced separately. Competitive with sub-compact garden tractors, the OX2 delivers clear economic advantage where annual up-time is critical.
The right tractor decision for driver experience and for the environment can also be the right economic choice. That’s real OX2 ‘value’!
