Hi,
The last piece of gas-powered equipment I have is a Simplicity
chipper-vac -- it's a great piece of equipment that chips up to 3-inch
branches and vacuums and shreds leaves and lawn debris. The only
drawback is the gas engine, which is an 8HP Briggs & Stratton 4-stroke
-- it has an electric start, which is absolutely essential for the first
start every year because trying to pull-start it is nearly impossible.
I'd like to convert it to electric. Is there an off-the-shelf option for
a motor and controller that would be appropriate for this equipment? The
motor model number is 192437 Type 0161-01, 8HP and my best guess is that
it'd run at about 3300 RPM. Ideally I'd make it cordless -- If I got rid
of the gas engine, its starter battery and fuel tank I think an electric
version might actually be lighter. It would also be a lot quieter -- and
cleaner.
Anybody have any recommendations/suggestions?
Thanks,
-Tom
