I really like the concept of this tractor. It will replace the usual ones and reduce Co2 emissions. I like the design as well, looks so futuristic, even like a Farming Simulator DLC xd.
Driverless cars are coming, maybe we will also see driverless tractors.
I love this design, it totally looks like it is from the future. The fact that it is also environment friendly is a great advantage over regular tractors.
It would be highly meaningful in reducing earth’s carbon footprint caused by the whole agriculture industry.
