If the batteries run down in the field, just leave it there a while and it charges itself. That's a lot (720 watts nameplate) of panels.

Pretty sweet ride! Nicer than my golf cart/ ranch utility vehicle. Although I get better run time.

I watched the video.  That tractor is nice.  Does the PTO work well, with enough power, from the electric motor?  If I had a farm I would have to build one of these.  Nifty idea.  Rich
