John Deere New Autonomous Battery Electric Tractor

John Deere is still working on developing an electric tractor. The successor, the Sesam 2, has a battery module with a capacity of 1,000 kWh of energy storage. 500 kW (680 hp) of power is available for the electric powertrain. Depending on the electric attachments or electric machines, up to a maximum of 1,000 kW is available to drive them. The machine is basically cabless, except when its driven on the road. Then a cab can be hung in the front linkage and you can move the robot to the land manually. The cab makes it possible to drive the tractor both autonomously and manually, with or without a cab. Communication between the cabin and the tractor takes place via a wireless connection. The cab can be detached in the field to be used as an office and to keep an eye on the robot. In addition, the prototype can work in swarms, which allows it to work together with several robots at the same time. In such a case, it may then be desirable to be able to monitor the work from a central cabin.

If I pay cash for it, am I allowed to put air in the tires or do I need to have it towed to the dealer?

I’m a tried and true Deere fan but I’m not sure about this thing!!! Takes all the romance out of playing in the dirt!!!

Perfect when you don't want to risk a farmer to retrieve a tank.

One of the biggest challenges for farmers has always been labor. We've had robotic milkers for years, having autonomous tractors is just a natural progression.

I want to see it working steep ground, and 25% tire wear left.

If farmers don't see this as a threat, they probably didn't see massive corporate farms as a threat either.

Would've liked to see how fast it could go with the tillage gear working as at the speed it was going it would take all year to work up 1 big cropping farm

This is all Well and good and I dare say a lot of people will see this as the future of farming.
All I see is one more step to the death of family farms and the rise of the factory farm!!!
I will no more get one of these than have an electrical car.

I wonder;

How many hours batteries runs for?

How many hours it takes to recharge?

How many solar panels at what size needs to have enough energy to recharge this tractor?

Would it work at uphills or downhills too?

Would it balance well on Rocky uphills to reach to farms?

How often parts needs to be repaired or renewed, such as batteries. If one goes wrong does it effect all?

Most importantly HOW MUCH the tractor and the energy stations would cost?

Wow. That thing almost moves as fast as a snail.

That cab would get pretty hot with no air conditioning!

A couple of things here: who checks the seed depth when planting? How many years do the batteries last? What do replacements cost?

You can't get parts for equipment now can you imagine how difficult it's gonna be for parts from this thing and then on top of it really Long way to go with the technology
