Please do explain how is less harmful to drive in a diesel tractor around.
This sounds almost like tractors are born in a shed, not made in a factory.
Not so much and less with newer battery types
Again, see first comment. Out of curiosity, what are coal-burning factories anyway?
While tractors are relatively cheap, you fail to see all the disadvantages with them it seems. Like fuel grows in a fuel pump stations and I'm sure they are very beneficial to air you breath, not counting co2 emissions and many other negative aspects. Let's do a test. I'll lie down next to e-vehicle exhaust and you'll do the same next to a tractor exhaust or any other ICE vehicle of your choice. Let's do that for 5 minutes while engines are running.
And how are we doing with consuming less? Oh, wait, I know - consumption of oil and coal is at all time high.
