Saw something cool today!

This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time.

While at the dealer today I was waiting on the forklift guy to bring my trailer around I noticed a new trailer in the shop with some strange things near the wheels. I had seen this setup before on the internet and specifically on youtube but never seen one in person. I was told that the easi mover that was on that trailer was the only one in the united states and the second one was on its way here for a customer in Chicago. Right now the one in the shop can only turn on hard surfaces because of the front caster just digs into the grass and dirt. They are having some bigger and wider front caster built so they can run it in the field. But I'll tell you that this thing is cool! I was quoted $3000.00 plus installation @ $115 and hour and the first one took 6 hours but the next will be faster.

Overkill...

I saw it in the shop and it moves slow and has a lot of torque the little motor rotors really grip the tires hard.

I bet it would climb and descend a slope okay. Maybe not a mountain but putting it in a driveway, oh yes it would.

The shop here is working a better front wheel setup to run it off the pavement. I think just having a couple pieces of plywood to run the front wheel on would go far.

Wonder how it works on inclines? I have a down slope on my driveway.

Very cool, and with that, I wouldn't need a TV....though it would take awhile to get to the CG:B

JMHO why bother? You can spend that money on a whole whack of fuel.

It is very cool. The only negative point I can see is that you need to be on pavement or concrete, most of the place I've been are on dirt or gravel... But I like the concept very much.
