The F N R swich needs to go in favor of a 2 pedal like a traditional diesel tractor with a hydrostatic transmission. That small switch wont be liked with loader work.
Carbon Free? I don't think so. I'm not impressed. 6 hours of run time with minimum 8hrs to charge not going to cut it for many people. Price is crazy too. How much is a new "carbon free" battery? Oh and electric engines are called motors.
00:22 Solectrac e25 is made from the same parts as a major international brand-name tractor - Escorts Farmtrac 25G (see the 25G badge at 02:16) - the owners manual provided is for that brand-name tractor model. 00:28 Solectrac substitutes the Farmtrac 25G's Farmtrac Loader 2500 (200+/-20kg operating load, 300+/-20kg max lift at pivot) for a Mahindra USA KMW Ltd loader (1300lbs operating lift at pivot, 2300lbs max breakout force). Visually you can confirm there is a KMW loader on the e25 by the shiny Made-in-USA sticker and joystick control that has a fast dump, also coinciding with front bumper mounted laser cut letters "SOLECTRAC". A full bucket of earth is at best a struggle for the Farmtrac Loader 2500 but the KMW loader handles it easily. 01:46 "This is an automatic tractor but we only have one pedal here on the right" After explaining the manual transmission for High/Medium/Low? 01:57 "When we pop the hood we have our all-electric 25HP engine" This is a battery. The electric motor is quite small and buried somewhere in the transmission housing? The e25 would fit in easily on a golf course operation that already is familiar with a battery electric golf cart fleet.
I would be curious as to the battery life if you are using the PTO or doing much loader work. Also would hate to give up my heated and cooled cab. If there was a cab version available, my guesss would be you are down into the one to two hours of usage range if you are pushing snow in the winter with heat on or doing loader or PTO work in the summer with AC on, etc. Also, what do you do if you drain the battery out in the middle of a golf course, parking lot, or field somewhere. Better have a Looooong extension cord! 😳
@@lostchild2003 If you think the electrical infrastructure of our nation is fully capable of charging mass quantities of electrical vehicles, then you, my friend are incapable of critical thinking.
It’s not for everybody but it’s good if you hate maintenance and don’t need to run it 8 hours a day. people want organic food . How can it be organic with diesel smoke on everything? Unless your tractor is electric your grapes ,apples and everything are exposed.
You probably never ran a tractor before so I won’t fault you for not knowing, but when you have a tractor it goes unused for days or weeks on end then it gets used all day which is the exact opposite of what an electric tractor is good for (use every day but short periods of time). Also tractors are incredibly fuel efficient a tractor that size would use 1/2 to 3/4 gallon of diesel per hour at full throttle.
Got to "luv" all the toxins leaching & off- gasing from the battery for 6 years, plus toxic waste recycling. NOTHING Green about this unit except the high "Green Price". It does have a nice paint-job & seat. Just wonder how many of these "Electric Engine" tractors will sell, guess mostly for power-plant ground maintainence.
8 to 24 hour's for a charge and 3 to 6 hour's running time? No thanks I'm sticking with my diesel tractor no charge time and I can run all day without waiting for a charge
New technologies and innovations need to start somewhere. Fortunately there are enough people who want to tdo their part to help further this new technology.
Woke goes Broke and Green is Garbage, thanks but I'd go buy a 50yo tractor and rebuild it before I'd buy that POS.Also no matter how bad some people want everything to go green it's not possible best we can do with current tech is try and formulate better fuels when we run out of fossil fuels unless someone comes out with something extraordinary we are stuck with what we have for a long time cause batteries will never do or can compete with oil.

Agreed all this green shit makes me sick.
"Old man yells at clouds"
This is an exciting time to be alive and have the oppurtunity to watch all this new technology develope.
gotta get them to do the dual pedals like the jd then its perfect
💥If they gave it to me i would exchange it for another Diesel Tractor.!!! No Electrical Tractor for me.!!!💥 NEVER.!!🤔
very good explanation mam❤❤

Do you sell diesel generators to charge the tractor when the grid collapses?
You're not a real deep thinker are you little fella...
@@lostchild2003 If you think the electrical infrastructure of our nation is fully capable of charging mass quantities of electrical vehicles, then you, my friend are incapable of critical thinking.
@@kylerayk If the grind collapse, how would you get gas?
@arp thirteen Hand pump through the filler hole on underground tanks or siphon/pump/gravity from above ground tanks...pretty simple.
I have nothing against the electric tractors. But I finally kind of weird as long as it's been out. I have seen no CZcams videos. Of it being worked.
3 hours of run time at full load, mow half of your field and have to wait until tomorrow to mow the other half. Pass.

The one thing I'm curious on is, can it charge on solar or wind power?
Of course it can.
what kind of cost involved?
$30000-$36000 for the 25
@@Isaac-yh8jx basically an arm and a leg for a play purty that cant do half the work
@@Isaac-yh8jx YIKES, any you only get 3 hours of use each day? Not very productive.
Hii
Electric Engine?🙄 That would be an electric motor.
