Introduction
Raven MPV-710 Garden Tractor
The Raven MPV-710 is a hybrid garden tractor released in 2013, designed to function as both a utility vehicle and a mower. It utilizes a unique hybrid powertrain that combines a gasoline engine with an electric driveline, allowing for an electric-only operating mode.
Engine and Hybrid Driveline
The machine is powered by a 420 cc air-cooled gasoline engine producing 12 hp (8.9 kW). This engine acts primarily as a generator to power the electric driveline, which provides infinite forward and reverse gearing across two ranges. The fuel system utilizes a carburetor, and the engine is started via a 12-volt electric starter. It requires 1.1 liters of oil, with recommended changes every 25 hours.
Mechanical Configuration
The MPV-710 features a 4x4 all-wheel drive system, providing traction for various terrain conditions. Steering is manual, and the operator is situated in an open-station environment. The tractor has a wheelbase of 111 cm, an overall length of 193 cm, and a height of 127 cm, with a total operational weight of 335 kg.
Electrical and PTO Systems
The electrical system is grounded via a negative connection and includes two batteries. The onboard generator provides a rated output of 6,500 watts, with a maximum capacity of 7,100 watts. The tractor is equipped with an independent mid-mounted PTO, which utilizes an electric-drive clutch for engagement.
