Went up to the shop today to see how difficult it was going to be to assemble my vaporizor cart, and what I might still need to get the job done..
A couple hours later... I was standing staring at it... while it was running....

Knitro the bee dog did not seem all that impressed with it, but voltage while running is right up there at 14.9. So the next step will be plugging in a pair of vaporizors to see what the draw is. The truck is together finally;

Unfortunately, the lack of power is too much, so the 350 will have to come out and the 489 will go back in it... YAY for 4 MPG on the interstate! OK, maybe 6.... But at least it will be able to pull the mountain grades with a load of bees behind it.

Some of us dream, and others do, guess which camp you fall in? (I'm a dreamer).
Nice looking truck, never mind the mileage. That thing looks like it would eat mountains for fun.

The cart's not complete. Put a double pulley on the drive shaft, and a pulley on the axle. Then an idler pulley along the way to engage and disengage.
See, I'm the lazy one. :laugh:

LOL I suppose I could rig this setup on an old lawnmower so you could just drive from hive to hive treating. :yes:
