How could "the buying public" speak about a product which was never offered for sale?
Well, just an educated guess about the market studies in the big 3 automakers losing billions and discontinuing EV's for now, and perhaps a very lackluster response to the annoucement of EV tractors, combined with low inquiries and no sustainable orders.

Maybe??? ;)

I remember 40 ? Years ago GE had an electric garden tractor size lawnmower. It must have been battery powered, idk and it didn't matter to me. It was just as stupid to me as a little kid as I think it is today. 😆
Yes, General Electric (GE) made a battery-powered lawn mower called the Elec-Trak in the 1970s. The Elec-Trak was the first commercially produced all-electric garden tractor.

How was the Elec-Trak different?

  • Quiet: The Elec-Trak was quieter than gasoline-powered mowers, which can vibrate and create fatigue.
  • No emissions: The Elec-Trak produced no emissions.
  • Reliable: The Elec-Trak's simple design made it reliable.
How popular was the Elec-Trak?
  • The Elec-Trak was popular with a small group of people.

  • It has a cult following among tractor and electric vehicle enthusiasts.

  • Many Elec-Traks are still in use today.

Who made the Elec-Trak?
  • GE made the Elec-Trak at its Outdoor Power Equipment Operation from 1969 to 1975.

  • GE also marketed the Elec-Trak under the New Idea brand.

  • Wheel Horse later bought the Elec-Trak.

I’m sure It is.
Every day I think the Liberal for, electricity, motor vehicles, tractors, gas and diesels, air conditioning, air planes, electric hot water heaters, electric stoves, microwave, etc , etc.

Just think what it would be like trying to live like our grand parents who were born in the 1800’s lived.

Just think what it would be like without the cell phone. What about the Internet?

It’s comical and saddening when one compares today’s quest for new technology to years ago.

Take the train. Horse/mule drawn Freight haulers used violence in some locations to prevent people from building railroads to expedite the movement of freight by rail instead of horse/mule and wagon. Then came trucks, tractors and trailers. About everything we touch daily arrived on a plane, train or truck.

I am also sure people raised holy hell about Henry Ford bringing forth the Model -T for transportation.

The electric car is the next technology step in moving forward and not standing still or regressing. Will the shake down introduction be smooth and trouble free no. Why, because they are being built by humans who have flaws.

I think the turning point in Electric vehicles is approaching.

Japan Company Toyota is investing heavily in new battery technology and are talking a 900 mile range with a 10 minute recharge battery.

The big three jumped on the greed wagon. They priced themselves right out of the Automobile market gas or electric.
