Wood chips anybody? That's one nice way to blaze an atv trail.I still believe that it is a very simply designed system. Every engine with a heater core has the exact same system as etorque coolant lines run to the battery pack same as the heater core, albeit a longer run but still not a big deal. Many mid-engine sports cars have front mounted radiators. My Polaris Ranger has coolant lines run from the engine in the back to the radiator in the front grill. The 48V motor generator is much more heavy duty by design. Commercial generators run thousands of hours a year why should we assume that the one in a Jeep will fail. The belt side of the system is very well tested in industry. In a past life I had a Barko 930 Forestry Mower that had and 8.3L Cummins with 1100lb Ft of torque. The drive belts from the hydraulic motors to the rotor bearings lasted 5000 hours and were still quite serviceable when I sold the tractor. I cannot imagine the shock loads put on the belts when that 2500 lb rotating drum lays into an old oak tree. So I once again say the system is a simple design using very common industrial technology to add a crap ton of torque way down low where torque belongs. Just think how easily that camper will start rolling from the stop ligWooht with that extra torque. Once you hit 1500 RPM the engine horsepower can handle the light work of keeping the mass in motion. Disclaimer: typing on my phone and I did not proofread!
This was my very tractor being tested before it was delivered to me.
