- Working on converting an International 300U tractor from gas to electric!
Please click SHOW MORE!
I give a little overview tour, and then drive the tractor around the yard, and even tow a trailer!

From Kenya, following this closely since you started. Looking forward to how it will turn out. Congrats Benjamin!!!
You’re really getting a lot done quickly on this, congrats
Best go cart EVer!
Getting so close to being done. Good job.
This is so cool. I just watched your leaf motor breakdown cause I have a leaf and while I still use it, it ain't worth much and I thought maybe it'd be worth more for parts. Anyway, so my vote is for the leaf motor, however electric forklifts can be cheap too. Good stuff.
I'm sure you've considered, but one thing to really watch for, is that tractor standing up on you quickly. There's no weight in the front anymore, and if you try to walk off with something heavy it could just rotate straight up and over onto you. Be safe!
I have heard that is the number 1 cause of death on farms in Norway 🇳🇴 even with an engine .That was years ago.
I know this videos old but i just started the same project🎉 im thinking a bit different as i just wan2 mow large areas with it so im going to try and power the deck blades separately then the drive to see if i can make some kind of high power mowing deck that i can switch out the deck batteries easier while relying on relatively low drive power to get around . Im no mechanic but i know electrical a fair bit so im hoping i can do this lol
Really cool, Ben!
You should use an electric steering assist
Awesome. Contemplating doing mine with a warp 9 double shafted motor. And running the hydraulic pump off the other end of the shaft. I’d have to leave the motor spinning at the idle run of the old diesel motor to run the hydraulics well though.
The warp 9 should be a very torquey motor especially if I run it with the 120v speed controller that I have.
I would love to also install a bypass for the speed controller so that I could hit a power dump and full throttle it with the full current that the batteries could supply for a second or so if I needed it.
I have the same tractor on 100 acres that has a front end loader that is overgrown in weeds that I am about to convert.
Greetings from Oregon.
great stuff!
Try a micro switch on your hydraulic controls like an electric fork lift then it only comes on when used
are you test it in plowing action?
Hi Ben, great work! How did you choose the emotor to fit rpm-wise? I guess, a leaf motor would be so much overpowered or over-rpm
was it me1117 you used and did it work okay?
Tractors that are short use or small jobs are better off electric.
Good day from Ontario. Interesting video. Do't know much about electric other that motor. I drive some electric fork lifts,
So what did this all cost so far. I remember when u bought 300, so wha was wrong with gas motor?
Thanks good luck I guess u don't have to worry about it starting in winter
There hasn't been much cost so far, as I've pretty much been using parts I already had. I got the motor and controller from a friend, already had the batteries, etc. Once it's a final design, I'll be able to tally it all up.
Was the hydraulics as noisy before when powered by the engine? Would using a bldc motor be any quieter and still provide the same torque and performance?
It's hard to say how noisy the hydraulics were when powered by the engine, because of all the engine noise!
I think one of the issues with electric vehicles is trying to quiet down all the things that you normally wouldn't hear because of engine noise! Apparentally, that's one of the big issues in commercial electric car design!
It seems to me that this electric motor and pump were a little noisier than the other electric motor and pump that I used. Both were brushed series-wound motors. I'm not sure exactly what the difference between the two is that would account for the volume difference.
Wow!
What model motor is that?
I still want to build an electric tractor. Just can't find the time or money these days.
I would love to see the Nissan Leaf motor in there.
Try a Prius steering weel
Are you suggesting electric power steering?
@@BenjaminNelsonX yeah Off course electric power steering.
Electric power steering use BLDC Motor i think it's efficiency is good for power save of electric tractor 🚜.
@@MTZ_Tractors He needs hydraulics for the loader, 3 point, etc, anyway, so going to electric power steering doesn't negate the need for the hydraulic pump and thus wouldn't really improve efficiency enough to matter.
@@JeremyAkersInAustin
In case of front loader its better to use hydraulic power steering instead of electric, because i think hydraulic power steering has more powerful 💪🏻 and better for tractor works.
Badass
Wondering if you could resurrect the old pump somewhere down the line. Was it less noisy/whiny than the little one?
The original pump was mechanically driven off the back of the engine. I hadn’t thought about trying to adapt it to an electric motor. No idea how loud the original pump would have been, since it couldn’t be heard over the gas engine.
But I can’t imagine it being an improvement over an electric motor and pump that were already designed to work together.
Hi guys, please consider that the inline crankdriven pump wouldnt be running when you stop. So in low speed situations where you need it most you get the least support. With the diesel engine there is always idle, so you always get the pump support
Ben, why not placing it in this huge gap between motor and radiator. Plus just some housing and it will improve very very much
Cultivation takes a lot of power. I used to cultivate 100 acres a day with a small diesel. Sorry but I don't see this thing cultivating more than an acre or two before it needs to be charged. Hope I'm wrong
