A farmer always seeks to make farming simple and carry it out in a way that requires the least amount of resources or labour.
The usage of tractors is the principal expense that drives up the cost of farming. Since tractors use a lot of fuel, the price increases.
However, technology saved the day and offered a fix. Electric tractors are less expensive and more dependable thanks to the electrical engineering community’s suggestion to replace fuel with DC batteries. Farming is now simple and affordable due to the electric tractor.
Although there aren’t any big electric tractors on the market just yet, there are plenty of smaller electric utility vehicles with off-road capabilities.
These can be utilised on farms and other unpaved surfaces. In addition to the battery type, they differ in price and features, such as the range that each vehicle can cover.
For their use and anticipated performance, their load and towing capacity are crucial factors.
The South Africa Electric Tractor Battery Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
On horticulture fields, electric orchard tractors could take the place of up to 8 000 small tractors to perform a variety of low-energy tasks.
On these farms, the use of electric orchard tractors has the potential to significantly lower the overall total lifetime cost of farm vehicles.
Additionally, a lot of farming tasks involve stop-start and low speeds, making electric vehicles—which have low speeds and tremendous torque—the perfect fit.
