Industry’s first all-electric tractor at Low Carbon Agriculture Show

Acknowledged for leading the low-carbon technology way when it comes to tractors, Reesink Agriculture is bringing the industry’s first all-electric tractor from Farmtrac to the Low Carbon Agriculture Show. This will be joined by BigToolRack’s Ultimate Rack for the ultimate in tractor cargo space.

 

Farmtrac’s FT25G is critically acclaimed for bringing zero emissions, minimal noise and vibration, high energy efficiency, and low operating and maintenance costs to the UK’s farming sector.

It has led the way with the growing industry focus on moving away from fossil fuels to low or zero-emission products since it launched two years ago and in that time has proven itself as more than capable of equalling the performance of its diesel counterparts, something Fully Charged’s presenter Robert Llewellyn and farmer Adam Henson discovered when they reviewed it and put it through its paces around the farm for BBC’s Countryfile and Fully Charged YouTube channel.

 

It is powered by a 22kwh battery pack, has a lift capacity of 450kg and boasts world-class components including transmissions designed and produced by Carraro and hydraulic systems from MITA, to deliver a superior performance whatever the task.

 

When that is coupled with the Ultimate Rack from BigToolRack many of the common frustrations of a lack of cargo space on a tractor are solved. Providing organised, secure storage for a compact or sub-compact tractor or utility vehicle in seconds, the Ultimate Rack is in a nutshell, the Swiss Army Knife of tool-carrying attachments.

 

It features a large cargo area (with a load capacity of 272kgs and tailgate capacity of 113kgs) and provides space to securely attach tools out of the way of the cargo area. There’s no need to buy a ballast box separately; the counterweight option when moving heavy loads with a loader can be used instead. A trailer hitch feature and telescopic wheel system convert the rack into a roll-away storage system to neatly store tools in the shed, and it’s just as easily retrieved and attached back onto the tractor.

 

There’s a range of customisable add-ons and it can be used all year round. Unlike tow-behind trailers or transport boxes, it can be kept out of the way and won’t become a hindrance by taking up space or being too heavy to manoeuvre.

 

Steven Haynes, sales manager at Reesink Agriculture, says: “Focused on technology and renewable energies, Low Carbon Agriculture Show welcomes forward-thinking agronomists from all over the country with one goal in mind: to find low carbon solutions to increase their business’s productivity while fighting climate change. The Farmtrac all-electric tractor with its lithium-ion battery is a huge tick in that box.”

 

The FT25G offers the perfect clean energy option for farmers, landowners and industry operators looking to reduce their carbon footprint and with the addition of the Ultimate Rack attachment productivity and efficiency is only enhanced.”
