Electric vehicles and technology enthusiasts will be happy to hear the industry’s only all-electric tractor, Farmtrac’s FT25G, that so impressed show founder Robert Llewellyn on his Fully Charged TV show last year will be at Fully Charged LIVE UK in September.
Steven Haynes, sales manager at Farmtrac, says: “We’re really excited to be exhibiting at Fully Charged LIVE UK for the first time with our all-electric compact tractor.
“Last year the FT25G featured on an episode of Fully Charged and the immediate reaction from the audience was incredibly positive and it has since proved itself to be a worthy alternative to a diesel-powered tractor. This year we have further increased the options available on the tractor to make it even more useful in a host of year-round applications and we can’t wait for people to experience it first-hand.”
On an episode of Fully Charged which airs to over three million people a month on YouTube, the FT25G was put through a series of tests around the farm to evaluate its performance and both Fully Charged TV show host and show founder, Robert Llewellyn and farmer Adam Henson, were highly impressed with the results.
Robert said at the time: “What it has proven today beyond a shadow of a doubt, it’s not just me saying it, it’s Adam – proper farmer too – he drives tractors all the time and he absolutely loves this thing. It’s so much quieter than a diesel machine... It’ll give you six to seven hours of hard work. So, I’ve been using this thresher that uses a lot of energy and it’s fine, it keeps going. And it doesn’t half do it well, it mashes through it.”
The FT25G compact tractor is the first commercially available all-electric tractor in the UK and has caused a big stir in the market. Revered for its quietness and efficiency packed in a smaller size, it easily manages smaller yard or paddock tasks with great ease, delivering seriously useful eco-friendly maintenance.
Featuring a 72V lithium-ion battery and onboard charger, the FT25G produces zero emissions and low noise – the first big step for any farmer or paddock-owner looking to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on productivity. It won’t run out of battery in the middle of the field and can be charged from any domestic socket to 100 percent in eight hours – commodity and reliability all rolled into one.
See the revolutionary FT25G on stand E18 from 3-5 September at Fully Charged LIVE UK, Farnborough International.
