I find it hard to believe that your Jeep pulling a trailer with a 1500 payload is getting 20 MPG. What's the trailer weigh ? - I suspect at least 1000 lbs. My 17 foot long Ditchwitch trailer weighs 3200 lbs. empty. So, maybe your Jeep pulls 2500 lbs. and gets 20 MPG with a gas engine? If that is true, you're already way ahead.

If you use your gas or diesel engine to do the pulling, all you've got is a fuel powered-generator.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
