I’ve had a Solectrac e25 compact tractor running in Wisconsin weather since December, and its run great so far - including plowing snow in -10oF weather. You know, when you run one, after a while you don’t really notice anymore - it’s just a really quiet tractor. (Although I do love the quiet - no hearing protection!!)I have a hobby farm, so it’s perfect for me. I’m told it will go 6 hr, but I’ve never had the battery run down to less than 60%, so range has been a non-issue for me. I just do whatever project I’ve got for the day, plug it in to a wall outlet overnight, and the next day it’s fully charged. It’s nice to just plug it in, and not have to worry about getting fuel out to the farm. No oil changes, either. No spooking the horses. You can do inside work with the doors closed. It’s got lots of torque all the way from 0 rpm, so it’s great for plowing. Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries are a proven technology. So, I really like it. All of the concerns about electrics that I’ve seen have been non-issues for me. Hats-off to John Deere for putting electric out there as an option - American innovation. I just wish they would move faster . . .

@@ABMFARM Exactly. They’ve made a calculated decision to represent it that poorly at the big shows. On one hand it shows the priority they place on the concept, but also shows the vanity of the brand itself (taking loyalty and reputation for granted). I agree that a lot of companies know the technology isn’t there to support customer demands but are doing enough in the arena to secure subsidies and elevate ESG scores for access to capital. I was a key manager for a very big brand you know for about 6.5 years and saw all of that from the inside. The part you won’t know yet is which companies are all in on that future ideologically, and which ones are playing the game at this point but are pragmatic about the technology.
