Electric farm tractor.....Opinions wanted!

What happens here

The video demonstrates how to access the lithium-ion battery by raising the hood after a quarter-turn release. The battery has an anticipated lifespan of up to 10 years or 3,000 charge cycles, with a 6-year pro-rated warranty on the power train and battery based on hours of use. If a cell malfunctions, an authorized dealer can replace it in approximately 2-3 hours. Smart meter tracking of charge/discharge cycles and usage patterns would provide invaluable data to project battery lifespan, optimize charging strategies, and align maintenance with usage, directly impacting generator optimization through predictable load management.

Goal: Accessing the lithium-ion battery is demonstrated, along with a discussion of its expected lifespan and warranty. This information is key for understanding maintenance cycles and long-term energy planning, which smart meter data can help predict and manage.

we see under the hood absolutely let's uh let's lower our loader we'll grab reaching our toolbox which is standard Hydraulics are standard we have an eight millimeter key gotcha we'll come to the front quarter turn raise the hood and another what's the life expectancy of this battery so we're anticipating uh up to 10 years or 3 000 charge cycles again the consistency of the charge and discharge is where we want to see and get that longevity of the life out of the battery what kind of warranty can a guy expect to get out of a battery powered tractor all right so our standard warranty on the tractor's uh six years um and we'll have the battery will actually be prorated through that time so powertrain's covered for six years uh you know and there's like I said the hours are prorated on the battery okay so if we have a sale go bad in this battery how difficult would it be for a person that purchased this tractor to get service I mean you have local service places now that's why you were here that's right so yes actually we do we have uh uh recruiting dealers all across the U.S uh so you would if if something did go wrong with the battery you would take it to an authorized servicing dealer if a sale was bad and they determined it was bad it would take the dealer around two or three hours just to roll the battery out and roll another one in JJ
