[QUOTE="BBC, post: 8153852, member: 4074"] An electric powered scraper tractor would be fine as it stays close to its charging source and the work it does will not place too much load on the battery. For anything doing heavy field work, the amount of battery power needed would be a massive extra weight and the load placed on the battery from heavy cultivation’s would drain it in no time. Farmers complain enough about having to refuel at tea time! I think it was in Harry Metcalfes interview with Lord Bomford that he said that JCB reckon that battery power is only suitable for a machine such as a mini digger that does about 3 hours constant work a day. After that it is unviable and the battery capacity needed would be excessive and add too much weight, hence their concentrating on hydrogen, but that has its own limitations. Still think that for the power output, weight and ease or refuelling there is nothing to beat diesel, so should be looking at biofuels, ideally from crops that I can grow! [/QUOTE]
