You Were Right About Electric Tractors! No way it can do this!
What happens here
The video begins with an introduction to the day's farm tasks. The creator plans to move hay bales and herd cows using a Solectrac electric tractor, and mow sections of pasture with a larger TYM TX1104 diesel tractor equipped with a Woods Batwing Mower (BW15.5). He briefly explains the concept of 'green manure'—chopping grass and leaving it on the ground to improve soil quality—for areas not currently used for hay or grazing, particularly those with poor soil pH indicated by weeds like sericea lespedeza and broom sedge.
Goal: Understand the day's farming agenda and the equipment to be used.
