What happens here

The reviewer walks around the Solectrac, pointing out various features and controls. He shows the Solectrac branding, highlighting its US manufacturing origin (though the frame is by Farmtrac). He activates the dashboard, which lights up with familiar tractor gauges and indicators. He then demonstrates the gear selection levers (low, medium, high, 2WD/4WD), PTO settings (540 and 540E), brake pedals, rear differential lock, hydraulic flow adjustment, and parking brake. He shows a secondary remote control at the back for implements, a work light, and a fan on the canopy. He points out the quick-attach skid steer loader and a lock for the battery compartment. Finally, he shows the charging port, which accepts both 120V and 240V, with a full charge taking about 8 hours on 120V.

Goal: The reviewer provides a detailed tour of the tractor's controls, gauges, and attachments, demonstrating its resemblance to traditional diesel tractors in terms of operational layout and basic functionalities.

so I regret that this thing is going away however I don't think that this tractor is something that I would want to keep for a longterm single tractor on the farm and that being said I don't think that I would want to mow 30 Acres with it I could mow 15 Acres with it and we did a video video mowing about 5 Acres with it and it took around 4 hours something like that so around an acre an hour which is about right for a little 5ft cutter like this I had no problems with bogging I had no problems with it running out of energy but it just went really really slow so if you're not in a hurry and you don't need to run a tractor 16 hours a day which most of us don't if you're running a farm like this even this Farm here if we're cutting hay we're only going to run the tractor for four five 6 hours at a time and then we're going to park the tractor let the hay dry come back in the next day rake it up so this would be a great little tractor for mowing for moving material around your property for tilling just for taking care of those little odds and end jobs but when it comes down to it if I had to mow the entire farm with this I need a bigger tractor you just need a bigger tractor so if it was a 55 horsepower electric tractor I could totally do it that being said any other manufacturers watching this if you're curious about bringing some electric technology we'd love to have it here on the farm I'm really curious about it I don't want to shove it down anybody's throat and that's what not what this video is about and that's not what any of the electric tractor content that I produced is about it's about curiosity and it's about learning about this machine now on top of this machine there's a cool tops cooler type uh canopy other words that top pulls down I'll have to unbolt that and take it away it does have a rollover protection system let's just take a quick walk around and I'll tell you about some of the features just so you guys know so again select track and the uh tractor is made in the USA by by select track but the frame of the tractor is made by Farm track and you can see it all lien up right here it's just like a standard tractor you got low medium high four-wheel drive 540 PTO and 540 economy when you put it in 540e you get a little bit more revs when you rev it up really high you got two wheel drive four-wheel drive selector high medium low brake pedals dual brake pedals this is your locker for the rear end your adust adjustment for how fast your…
