I'm sending back the electric tractor here's why

What happens here

The reviewer wraps up by stating that while he is sad to see the Solectrac go, he is excited about the advancement of new technology. He asserts that electric tractors are not meant to replace all internal combustion engine farm equipment but offer unique advantages for specific users, such as those who prefer minimal maintenance and don't need to operate a tractor for extended periods. He views electric farm technology as an evolving field and encourages other manufacturers to innovate, expressing particular interest in future hydrogen-powered solutions. He thanks Solectrac for the opportunity to test the machine and invites viewers to share constructive comments.

Goal: The reviewer concludes his review by reiterating the benefits and target audience for electric tractors, emphasizing that they are not a threat to traditional combustion engine machines but an evolving technology with specific applications, and expresses enthusiasm for future electric and hydrogen-powered farm equipment.

in no way a threat to your way of life or to burning fossil fuels and I don't understand why that is such a I guess it's cuz everything's been politicized but this is not a political tractor this is a tractor that runs on a battery much like a battery power drill that I might have inside the shop is it going to replace combustion engines no not anytime in my lifetime I don't think but I do think that it does have its uses I think the uses are for people that don't want to maintain and change the oil I've had no problems whatsoever no hiccups whatsoever it takes just a little bit of a learning curve I think as long as you have a weed whacker that you can get back into those tight Corners if you need to back up and mow I think you'll be just fine right there I wouldn't use this next to a pond too close or a Waterway or wet area I did bury it up to the front and rear axles one time because it's heavy okay so it's a heavy little tractor with a fairly light and wide footprint but it doesn't stop on a dime like a normal tractor so if you're going to slow down with this tractor expect it to roll forward a couple inches maybe three maybe 6 Ines so you got to be careful when you pull up next to your shop building or something like that or you get near water because you run a risk of it overdriving itself just a little bit and that's just part of the PTO system on this tractor as that PTO is spinning it's actually pushing the machine forward just a little bit so guys thank you so much I enjoyed having the select track tractor here on the farm thanks to select track all the guys at select track uh for letting me use it let me try it letting me show it to you and any other manufacturer out there I know case international John Deere Kabota everybody's got electric tractors and they're coming out with new technology I think we need newer better safer cleaner battery techn techology here in the future and I'm really excited to hear about any kind of hydrogen technology that might be out here so Elon Musk build me a tractor buddy guys thanks a lot for joining me here on the Stony Ridge Farm Channel I appreciate you please hit that like button on the way out the door we're saying goodbye to the select track Electric tractor and hopefully this opens doors for more electric tractors to come to the farm so we can test them out try them out and tell you guys exactly how they work and if they're junk and if they're good this is good thanks a lot hit that like but on the way out…
