It’s a good application for swappable batteries. Then it becomes even more expensive, unfortunately. Farmers typically do have the mechanical knowledge for something like that, it would be just like mounting another implement. 1000kg of plates on the front of the tractor.
True on the expense, but I guess that could be manageable. And swapping batteries while at home taking a dump or going for lunch seems more feasible than taking hour long breaks every few hours.
I mean, diesel's expensive too. Batteries already look tempting and I think they're only going to look better as time goes on. The only real hurdle for me is the initial outlay for the new hardware.
