Given the current OSE architecture-path and the existing Lifetrac's ability to lift: I'd suggest trying to forego lifting capacity(loader arms) and direct it more toward a BCS-Brand type tiller design- compact as possible for dragging or pushing ground engagement tools that don't need lifting or are easily lifted(height/depth adjusted) with a simple leverage bar instead of cumbersome hydraulic rams. This suggestion is based on my years of experience using, studying and designing these three classes of equipment(skidsteer, Miniskidsteer, Two-wheel walk-behind), as well as a huge cultural shift to self-sufficiency and urban gardening. I believe there is ALOT more demand for the walk-behind urban-garden tiller/powered wheelbarrow. Its a good bootstrap product and it gets people converted over to a utilitarian lifestyle and out of the rat-race. Future revisions of the Lifetrac can assess its range of scalability and option of providing a rear riding platform instead of the operator having to fit inside of it.
Yes! Good notions. A mower/hydraulic power cube can go viral. -Marcin
