i would say, people who are making these new GPS robot controlled tractors are thinking they also can control the weather.......no.....the tractor they build have to has the power to go through mud while pulling a heavy graincart during a muddy harvest, pull heavy loads up hills, and do all this without the owner/operator worrying about the tractor breaking or easily overheating. in IMO a electric tractor is like a prius...sure it may be eco-friendly. but there are many things it just cant do.
Electric is not always used for eco friendliness. Not all of these follow the prius motto. The majority of large mining equipment has been electric for a long time.
I agree they will have troubles in poor conditions with no operator. |
