Accord electric drive

[Banana Bar]

Has anyone converted an Accord hopper from ground wheel to electric drive? Cost? Where did you get the bits?

Yes, helped to do one years ago, fitted an artemis kit from RDS. Hardest part was fitting the plate for the motor to sit on, the rest was swapping wires for tramliner kit and running cable to power motor from battery box.

I converted a fiona box drill to electric drive. Got a motor from Gimson Robotics, they also supplied a variable speed controller. Been very pleased with it, Gimson Robotics are very helpful and seem to like unusual projects.

I (LH Agro) fitted the Rds Artimis isobus system to my front hopper, but there is the Arimis lite which will be a cheaper kit. Motor etc will be the same just different controller.

Retro fit ISObus RDS Artemis to a Df1

As the title states, I'm looking to convert my df1 front hopper to do variable seed rates. I've looked at the Artemis system and like the features but was wondering if the ISObus system will retro fit to run on my jd4600 screen rather than having another screen in the cab. Has anyone fitted...

For the isobus system you’d need to budget around 6.5k including the instillation, the wiring is quite complex! The lite system would be cheaper and you could probably install yourself if you handy on the spanner’s.

I did ours about 4 years ago with a Rds Artemis kit from Rds MME . Iirc about £3300 and I fitted it , works well . Neighbour had just got the same kit through Weaving Machinery for around £2600 iirc.
