The Making of a Farmall M Hybrid Project Planning

In this episode, we discuss the project planning for building the hybrid tractor, specific emphasis on the voltage level to be utilized for the motor, and some debate around the decision to go with 144 V DC. One area still in discussion is whether to go with a belt drive or a chain sprocket drive. Both have pros and cons; we will show the reasons in future videos for how we made the decision we did.
