Running an electric tractor (or car for that matter) will require some adapting to how the machine works. Just like running a fuel vehicle does. The difference is that we have already adapted to running fuel vehcles. Though the threads about what's the right warm up time, idling vs shutting down, how to keep the engine warm in very cold weather, and preventing fuel gelling might indicate that not everyone does.
I have friends who bought an electric car with a relatively short range. They're bike racers and bike races are held in far off out of the way places. They view finding charging stations and factoring in charging time to their trips as a fun challenge. It turns out that it's not that difficult for them to go wherever they want.
In the same way, if you wanted to run an electric tractor you'd spend a little time learning how to operate it and make some minor changes to work with the limitations that are different than diesel tractors.
