If i recall mine was pushed all the way forward and after some jiggling it freed up... I'd say give it hell and if it breaks its under warranty... ;-) I'll go to bat for you if needed as mine was ceased up as well. let me know if you get it moving...

I've not found it to be an issue for me and tend to leave the safety items in place unless there is a compelling reason to override. Too many hills and close calls for me in my 10 years of operating experience to think I know better.

Welcome! Keep me posted how you like it. My H24 is doing great so far!

I am not sure but am suppose to learn more soon and will likely be testing this tractor this Spring on my property in Ohio.

Agree with @5030... my solis seat was a little stuck as well and upon doing some wiggling mine actually started moving and there was plenty of grease... Shouldn't be a shipping bolt however.

So it is my understanding that the Solis electric tractor has the same PTO output as the H26 diesel engine, so I believe it is 18.9 HP.

Solis Tractors USA has a cabbed version of the Solis HST H26 with heat but will have the AC version on the market in I believe April. I have a video i'll be sharing over the next week from the Ag Expo in Moultrie back in October. I have the open station version and am very happy with the...

I appreciate your well stated point of view, thanks for sharing it.

Unfortunately not to my knowledge, but I do have an aunt Pam in Missouri... :-) Many of the Hardy's are spread around the midwest but I don't necessarily have a grasp on the extended roots of our tree, so there is a possiblity but not one I can confirm... I will say however, all the Hardy's I...

lol at 50 I'm sorta feeling the same way...

Nah it'll never work... lol reminds me of this commercial from the Super Bowl... It's funny... I call it the wheel... I've got 10 forks right here baby! lol Don't be like Larry... :-)

I'm with you, i'm not ready for an EV but would consider a hybrid... chances are I won't even do that as I've probably only got 1 or maybe two more car purchases in my lifetime... my current gas guzzling Nissan Armada is a 2011 and it will be replaced with another large SUV or truck... so...

Is or "is not" sufficient? I assume you meant "is not"?

@EddieWalker you can charge the Solis with either 110 or 220... There are rapid chargers for vehicles but i don't know what difference is required in terms of the outlet requirements.

I agree with you and think that we are a long ways from having electric tractors that can do what diesel tractors can do, but I'm not so sure it's a "fad" per say, maybe just very early in the product lifecycle... It's amazing the technological advances that have been made in just the last...

Follow The Kelley's Country Life on Youtube, I think he will be releasing a video of tilling a food plot with it.

Here is a new video of the Solis SV24 in action compliments of my friend Andrew with The Kelley's Country Life... I think he does an excellent job of conveying what everyone here is saying, which is, "electric vehicles are not for everyone"... but he has the opportunity to provide testing and...

a solid question... maybe someday they will... not likely during our lifetime but you never know!

There is A LOT to unpack in that reply... haha... and by no means am I selling this tractor nor do I get paid if one sells, simply sharing an experience and possibly will be testing this tractor in the future on my farm in SE Ohio. So why might someone one this? Well... indoor tilling? haha...

Agree, time will tell if or when this is a viable option.

I'd say that is pretty accurate...

Well hopefully they can get the price point down so the 38 and 48 can launch early in 2024! Current pricing is putting them on par with the expensive well known brands...

It's about the engines... ITL/Solis will be producing it's own engines. Currently the H24 has a Mitsubishi engine, the 38 & 48HPs will have Yanmar engines but the price is high so it is not as competitive, and the larger machines will have the ITL engine, which is what is under EPA approvals...

interesting analogies and I suppose if you say, hey in the off time the people that make Bose headphones make a direct duplicate knock-off and charge 1/2 price... But neither of these tractors are knockoffs... What you are actually describing here is a value sale... I've worked in the software...

Good questions... i'll share what I've been told but I may need to call in some Solis engineers to correct me; Battery has a 10 year / 3500 charge cycle warranty... so how long does it last, I'm not sure... also asking what is the replacement cost, which one would expect to drop in price as...

Lol... you might just be on to something here. Being part of the discussion vs not. I tend to agree it will be a very small niche market if at all and that will likely be in California or Massachusetts or the peoples republic of Austin... haha Definite has a ways to go but I like that Solis...

This post is about the diesel version of the H24, not the electric. No charging, just a 6 gallon tank... :-)

Did you make it by this year? Lots of new tractors in the booth. I was there on Tuesday and part of Wednesday...

Would love to hear how it's performing for you! I was hoping to get one and have some videos going but that may not be the cards for my H24, we shall see. Digging power? Speed? Clearance? - Thanks!

I'm curious about that too... My hills and ditches may make that difficult to maneuver.

Thanks @tacticalturnip! Yes, the proof is in the performance. This one didn't ship home with me, but I expect to see some videos in the not too distant future and it is supposed to be eventually come to the hills of Ohio for some testing. I'm with you on the political debates, I'm more...

Solis has been in the US for about 7-8 years, but Yanmar was rebranding their tractors as Solis... Now Solis is selling via dealerships and Summit, also made by ITL, is going the route of the retail channel with e-commerce mixed in. Will be interesting to see how this things shake out.

They are both produced by ITL (International Tractors Limited)... Solis is in 150 countries, Summit is brand new... So similar yes, but equipped differently and going to market via different sales channels.

I got to get into the nuts and bolts of the Solis SV24 fully electric tractor last week while I was at the Sunbelt Ag Expo 2023 in Moultrie, GA... Here is what I know about the tractor at this time... also the estimated price is $31,800 with loader (subject to change at time of market launch)...

Hi all, Last week I got to spend two days in the Solis booth with the Solis Tractors USA team, lots of tire kicking prospective buyers, and even some current Solis owners. I'm including my video that I just launched tonight that briefly talks about the new models headed to the USA soon... The...

I don't disagree on the time issue, but that was full load 3 hours, so mixed use would be longer... I'll try it out when they send it to me, but for now I too am sticking with diesel... :-)

I created this Solis FAQ video with help from the Solis USA team. I am currently operating their H24 compact tractor and am quite impressed so far. Only about 20 hours and am still getting some new attachments to try out with it so don't have the test of time yet but plan to put it through the...

Thanks! We have a bunch of older content on our JDs but will continue to produce Solis content into the future. Josh

We have partnered with Solis Tractors USA to test and demonstrate their tractors over the next few years and to provide our unbiased feedback... My brother and I own John Deere tractors and have been making videos for a few years on our conservation project in southern Ohio. At the moment we...

Solis Tractors USA is now selling direct in the US and no longer with Yanmar US... For now the H24 and S24 tractors are available and the S75 is under EPA review and they are expecting to have a 35HP and 60HP out by end of the year along with a electric model that is equivalent to 26HP. We are...

Depends where you live. In my county there is no requirement for graded lumber and no building inspections other than plumbing. In the city you’d likely be able to get away with it for a shed or shed that isn’t being inspected.

Facebook sawmill groups... offer them for free and they will get picked up. Be sure to mention your location...

This is the 48" one and no I do not currently have my tires filled or any sort of wheel weights. The pond bank is soft enough that I'm afraid weighted tires would cause me to sink and slide towards the water. Honestly the reach is not as far as I'd like and i'm not really on much of a slope...

So I have this one and am still having mixed feelings on it... For what I have invested in it, I do not look forward to hooking it up. Was just about to go out and mow and got enough rain that I'll need to hold off again for it to dry up. Here is my review and experience with this Flail...
