It’s cool hey. All about hearing. 100:1 gear reduction in 1st. Means wheel torque is 100x motor torque less driveline losses. Motor products about 90Nm. Thus 9000 Nm in 1st up until the battery currently limit kicks in which is quickly because of 160a limit we imposed. Then torque tails off as rpm increases until decreasing torque equals drive torque. Practical, little tractor. Certainly can’t go anywhere fast.

Something to be said for a 48V system (safe voltages) in a farm setting, especially with PV all over. Fair play to you and long may it last!

@fryersforestrd4140

Yeah, 48v is a good standard in that way. It’s just capable of this task. 400v dc is serious stuff. 48 is what the automotive industry should standardise around in a way. 12v requires big cables and isn’t appreciably safer. But that’s another story. The Ute has been going well over the year and a half since built.

Great job! How many amps does it use when pulling max load? For bonus points put solar panels on the milking parlor or the truck attachment.

@fryersforestrd4140

Жыл бұрын

On the motor side, the controller is reliving 800A. But it’s limited to “20% battery current”. Practically what this means is that the motor amps are constant at 800A (and thus constant torque) as rpm rises until battery current of 200A is reached. From this point the motor amps decline (and so does torque) As rpm increases and battery amps are constant until the decreasing torque and increasing rpm reach a steady state. Practically this means that the vehicle had great off the line performance but doesn’t tend to push the motor at 800A for long. Unless the user leaves the vehicle in a high gear and struggles up a hill at low rpm. That is a risk. I’ve trained the dairy staff to keep the motor running at higher rpm. Thus keeping motor amps down from peak. As for panels on the roof of the dairy truck, we did consider this. I liked the idea but it’s actually better I think to have the panels on the roof of the main shed and keep the dairy truck without panels. The reasons that Pushed me in this direction are: A - the truck gets used primarily in the early morning and is often partial shaded from what little sun might hit it. Orientation to the sun is seldom good. B - the roof gets knocked by branches and the like that could damage panels C - the cost per watt installed in the large grid connect system on the roof of the dairy is really good. D - And we use the roof of the slip-on as a mobile work platform a LOT! It’s an unexpected utility of the vehicle that’s actually super valuable. We’ve used it for building sheds and structures on the farm a lot. So our solar is all in one on the big shed roof.

Nice old ute and conversion, I'll be keen to see your next project! Being a tech bloke have you seen the LoRaWAN cattle collars? Could be a nice addition to the milking station.

I’ll do an update after a year and then 5 years. So far we had a new automotive relay fail and the brake master is leaking. I used a reconditioned master I had on hand. Other than that it’s been running well now for about 6 months. There was a slight repetitive noise coming from what I think is the jack shaft we build that carried the chain gear reduction large gear despite our efforts to get alignment just right. If anything is going to fail I think that is a likely part. Definitely think I will be shy of Toyota reliability. But it’s bloody amazing not feathering a clutch and having tons of torque.

The early Stouts seem to have very good paint and metal. Multiple coats that are very robust. It seems by the late 70’s they had moved to a single coat primer/ top coat. They seem to last remarkably well. There are of course weaknesses and the bulkhead below the windscreen seems prone to rust. But this is a design flaw. My fathers 1972 Stout already had rust on this spot in 1982 when he did a massive 400 hour overhaul on it. I think the last 60’s was the height of Toyota build quality.

There is no way that 'dairy farm' is anything more than a hobby operation if they are using a truck mounted milking pump.

@fryersforestrd4140

Жыл бұрын

For most dairy farmers, there is no way you could make a living from 10 milking cows milked with a single set of cups off a single vacuum pump. So I understand where coming from. But it is NOT a hobby operation and there are some things that are very different in this business. It sells direct to customers in the local town through a community supported agriculture model. I understand that the model is very different from the huge scale that dairies have had to get to for financial viability under pressure of falling milk prices.
