A classic 1980s tractor, the HGR KY7 Electric Daycab, carefully modernized into a fully electric farm truck.
This unique machine reflects the dedication of a farmer-engineer who rebuilt her trusted cabover using components sourced entirely from a PlasmaStar catalog. At its heart is a PlasmaStar 250 XXS, delivering power through a severe-duty D32 steel driveshaft to the rear wheels. Though originally intended for a very different application, the system has been adapted for agricultural use with several discreet modifications.
The result is a truck that combines the familiar sound and feel of a diesel with the unmistakable high-pitched whine of advanced electric motors. Its unconventional energy transfer system is neither the most efficient nor the most refined, but it speaks to the ingenuity and persistence behind its creation. A true testament to keeping a beloved machine working the fields, long after its original prime.
1980年代のクラシックな白玉楼KY7 キャブオーバーを、農場用に完全電動化した特別な一台。
このトラックは、信頼してきた愛車を電動化するために、農業者であり技術者でもある彼女が PlasmaStar カタログから部品を揃え、自らの手で改造を施した成果です。心臓部には PlasmaStar 250 XXS を搭載し、D32 スチール製の強化ドライブシャフトを介して後輪へと力を伝達します。本来は全く異なる用途に設計された装置ですが、農業用にいくつかの「特別な調整」が行われています。
結果として、ディーゼルのような力強いサウンドに加え、電動モーター特有の高音のうなりも響く独自の走行感覚を生み出しています。効率性や洗練さには欠けるものの、その背景には愛車をフィールドに残し続けたいという強い情熱と独創性が感じられます。往年の名機を現代に蘇らせた、まさに執念の結晶といえるでしょう
List of modifications:
Engine and Transmission were created by Mayuka (MMus1cc) to mimic a 2 speed motor electric truck. Like real-world trucks it is intended to pull a trailer so it has the instant torque feeling of an electric vehicle if you drive it without out. With a load it drives smooth. Reverse speed is limited to make backing easier. If you use manual shifting you can downshift to low range or 'D', default forward mode is S+ (Sport Mode).
Has a functioning 'after-market' styled power gauge showing the power usage of the electric motor.
Fuel tanks removed and replaced with a battery box (Designed by Amina (1chig0_A) with batteries and an electric charging port.
Electric range is set to mimic that of a conversion kit and to give that feeling of always needing to plug in. (Amina note: and to make services vehicle useful!)
Clearance lights have a choice between Orange, White, and Green.
Removed the slanted CB antennas and replaced with a normal mirror mounted one.
New connections and cat-walk on the rear of the tractor. It now has hyrdulic connections.
Works with Interactive Control. Radio functions, Windows roll down and battery box can be opened with IC.
