John Deere reveals battery-powered tractor Battery is capable of generating 402hp

Work for 4 hours ....recharge for three....maybe deere won't put numbers on it .....just call it a libtard tractor. .....

And the cost? Capital and productivity?


Do you buy one and get one free for keeping on the charger?


Locomotives are diesel powered electric powerhouses.....probably cleaner than 30 years ago.....why not use the railways properly and less trucking?


McKenna and Trudeau are too young to realize Canada had a rail network second to none and it was destroyed by the same ilk.

And an elevator system that was smashed and burned.

Lithium batteries in our video camera will not hold charge long, only two years old....not the answer.

Electric cars and not cleaner as most of the power in the world is generated from coal and maybe natural gas. It only improved air quality in the cities.

Out in the bush an electric tractor is both impractical and foolish. The amount of fuel agriculture uses is minute compared to all the commuters.

Samsung exploding battery on the scale of of a 400 HP tractor. NO THANKS!

Pulled out the iPhone to take a picture yesterday, went from 20% to dead by the time I got the camera app open. Sounds practical to me. Unless there is some highly disruptive technology that comes along in electricity storage the electric motor is a useless technology for off grid commercial applications.

I think a nuclear reactor would be better than an electric tractor. A reactor tractor. Make mine a quadtrack.

I want see a picture of that stuck in a mud hole

Will be as popular as the battery powered cars..
Probably millions spent on testing..

"Use our diesel and gas and oil up before the next wave of technology is here. Yes work towards green but make money like a bandit on the oil and gas in the ground. Then because your a rich nation switch after its developed to the new tec."

How dare you use common sense!

Forcing us all to lease a US$375k truck with no buy option. A company whose #s dont even yet make sense and announced a complete design change in 5 months.
Someday yes, but sounds like a duck right now. (Nikola)
