@Treemover said: the dawn of a new era of driverless tractors and electric tractors fast approaching, this might be the end of an old era, much like transition from horse to tractor.
Anyone remember or know how it happened?
How was it money wise. Did working horse values crash or was it done so gradually that worn out horses were just replaced with a tractor.
I just remember our last horse it was used to undersow barley with grass seed with a clover seed barrow. It was kept in a loose box, dropped dead one morning breaking the door and landing in the yard. At least it did not need removing from the stable!!
The clover seed barrow had the shafts removed and replaced with a drawbar some other implements had this done but ploughs cultivators where mostly bought with the first tractor I think.
No idea how the money /cost worked though.
Asking as I can imagine robot machines but not how the transition will work.
