In 20 years, all new tractors will be all electric. That is my prediction - it may happen sooner. Just like plow horses, all these stinky diesel tractors will be put out to pasture.

So by stinky you mean tier zero emissions?
Considering that the average homeowner uses their tractor only 50-100 hours per year they should be forced into electric. It will be "good enough" for those users. Same goes with any homeowner power tools bought in big box stores - should be battery or plug in only.
I can't see farmers being able to rely on EV tech for planting and harvesting. It's bad enough now getting forced into a standing regen for DPF or your machine getting stuck in limp mode due to DEF and computerized emissions equipment issues.
I could see EV being used for things like mucking out barns.

Boy I hope you are wrong.
Cause if you are right, farming (and food) will become much too expensive and a lot of people might starve to death.
I could actually like electric trucks & tractors, but the cost of the charging infrastructure coupled with the new electric equipment itself would break this farmer. I can barely afford the old diesel stuff I have.
Probably will be retired by the time those mandates destroy farming.

Maybe why Californian is different...
Areas with the bulk of population are mostly coastal where even frost is a rarity.. and a home with central A/C is hard to find in San Francisco...
Maybe mild climates and EV are a perfect match?
