Second electricity-generating tractor launch in November

A RIVAL to John Deere’s e-Premium electricity-generating tractor is expected to emerge at the Agritechnica show in Hanover, Germany in November.

An unidentified manufacturer, possibly Russian, is expected to unveil a 295 horse power diesel-electric tractor which can generate 170kW for powering sprayers or fertiliser spreaders.

John Deere’s E Premium tractors were first in the industry to provide power for external use.
