Re: Electric Farm Tractors

You need to come to farm country to take a look around and talk to the
folks you think are prospective users of your idea.

That's what the state university extension people are for.

Monday I called up the local desert extension and asked, "what do you
do? Lizards or agriculture?"

Be prepared to be
_amazed_ at the actual scale of modern farming operations. You could
drive one of the old 8Ns _under_ some of the modern all-wheel drive
articulated tractors (and you coulda bought a whole flock of 8Ns for
the price of the modern machine).

Open pit mine excavators could smush any Case like a bug. Excavators
are all electric, powered by nothing more than a big extension cord.
