I have doubts on the veracity of this article.
Electric next year? That would mean Deere has all this equipment in prototype stage. Have heard nothing about this.
Furthermore the questions asked by farmers would have been presented to the development team internally years ago.
Didnja hear? The earth only has 8.6426 years left. And Trans Sec Butticall says we need to go all electric. We don’t have time to worry about what farmers want or need. We have to move now!!!!
I tend to agree.
Agreed. This is bunk. John Deere is a smart company. They may have some electric machines coming, but not like the writer insinuates.
It is true that John Deere, Caterpillar and even the auto makers are moving toward subscription based options and also no dealer inventory. If you want to buy a tractor then you need to order a tractor. They can rent you one in the mean time.
