Crappy situation all around. Best I can tell, there arent many, if any large pieces equipment offered in electric. Probably not a popular European brand, but last I read, John Deere wasn't looking to have anything for the mid-tier until 2026 and had no plans for the large fleet.

It's also not like farmers do a lot of equipment swapping; most I know use them and repair them until you simple can't anymore. So, even if there were options coming onto the market, the percentage of those in the field would be very low to start and remain low for a LONG time.

Helping farmers make a switch is a shortcut, but the equipment has to exist for someone to buy.
