World’s first ammonia-powered zero-emissions tractor

[TOM4CWB]

Did anyone tell them ammonia stinks?
Everyone will have a gasmask for refueling?

Full service fuelling stations for NH3! Our 4000gal nurse tank has a NH3 pump for direct injection... not difficult to fill smaller tanks... have a 500gal that we had used to nuke gophers... too expensive now...

ON THE ROAD, TODAY

Hyzon’s emissions-free technology is already implemented in hundreds of vehicles internationally. We serve multiple industries with superior technology designed for heavy vehicles, extensive on-the-road experience, and access to cost-effective hydrogen through a portfolio of providers.

A CLEANER JOURNEY

Hyzon vehicles offer similar payloads, performance, and refueling time to diesel—and water vapor is the only byproduct. We provide end-to-end solutions to help operators transition their fleets without having to modify daily operations.

PEAK POWER

We offer zero-emissions options for the most demanding applications, including ultra-heavy freight, construction, refuse collection, perishable deliveries, and public transit. It’s all done without challenging the already strained electricity grids— in the United States and around the world.

Huh. Last thing I need to be checking is the air drill and then that contraption. Why would I complicate my life further for no benefit. Are people going to pay more for food for me to run that thing.

Article says it can only carry enough fuel for 2 hrs.

Might work on that row crop tractor pulling a sprayer or something. Can it mount on a 4wd pulling 80ft drill in the gumbo.

Imagine if most farmers were forced to do a convert that that, they would just quit.

See now, the only way I see this making sense is when I'm seeding I'm already pulling the big NH3 cart. Easy peasy. Don't have to haul fuel myself! Now doing every other job, that's another story for NH3 supply

[dfarms11]

My biggest concern/ beef with using NH3 is logistics of supply to the tractor. I can't afford to own/ certify a tank to travel the roads to fuel up with. How's a guy going to afford those costs? The hoops for certification and training, and insurance to haul it would be cost prohibitive right from the get go.
