Are there any battery-powered tractors on the market yet?

Not to hug a tree or anything, but a small farm would seem to be a perfect place to farm with an electric tractor, recharged with an array of solar panels.

Dude, there is no way that solar batteries or panels could deliver the kind of raw, sustained power that it takes to break ground with a tractor. It’s an engineering impossibility.
