CNH NEW MODELS

Well, CNH customer service actually answered this time. She was very helpful. She gave me the name of my local dealer (who was not even remotely my closest dealer) and said they could probably tell me more. Then she gave me a link to the parts look-up site so that maybe, I guess I can look up the price of batteries on my own? LOL

Anyway, it reminded me why the only blue tractor in my yard is a FORD and why I have only bought Kubota and Agco products since the last time I tried to deal with CNH back in 2008.
Maybe it's the nearest dealer that will get the electric models?

Who knows. I just know that when I ask Kubota Canada or Massey Ferguson a question I get detailed answers.

I called my NH dealer about the T4 Electric. Sales guy said it would be a while. He is going to check on the price. My WM75 trade-in value is close to what I originally paid for it, so I may consider an upgrade to a PowerStar 75. By the time the T4 Electric is available, my trade-in value will probably have gone down.

If you get any info keep us posted. I love internal combustion, but those are cool looking tractors with nice features. I'd actually like to see them work out. I'm not giving up my antiques but I would probably take an electric tractor over a diesel that has a DPF and/or SCR.

4 hours of run time is really bad. What rancher is going to hay for 4 hours t hen charge the machine for 8 hours?

Looks like to me the smaller tractor crowd will suffer the first versions of electric tractors and all the associated teething pains, no runs, glitches, etc.
Then farmers, excavators, etc will have to fork over thousands each for special high amperage charging stations and electric bills like nobody can imagine.

By then, I’ll be out to pasture and it won’t be a worry

In a way, I wish it did work. I love diesel, but compared to a new diesel with a DPF muffler and regens, I's rather have a tractor I can start to move with something with the forks or very low load chores and then just shut it off and no worries.

Oh wait......I do have that! A 55, a 67 and two 1971's. LOL

Thousands? Last I checked a Level 3 (DC-fast) charger is over $ 1 mil installed. L2 is probably $2k or so installed and is only 240v at around 24 amps. That would be around 6 kw an hour.....so if you have a 200 kwh battery then....yeah it will be awhile! Apparently some L2 chargers can pump out closer to 20 kwh but it takes a special setup to accept it. That would be much better...but still 8 hours to charge a tractor battery is ridiculous.
