A couple years back Kubota did a prototype electric self driving tractor that looked like a large Kidney bean.The tractor industry is all going this way soon. California is banning all gas and diesel powered garden equipment over the next 10 -15 years and the rest of North America won't be far behind. They are even banning all gas powered chain saws, weed whackers etc. My Kubota dealer told us that he knows that Kubota is working on electric tractors now. So it's coming.
It may all be coming but won't be in my lifetime so I don't get concerned about it one way or another. Future generations can deal with it, not me. I'll stick with my diesel powered tractors and gas powered cars thank you.
