Abstract
A farmer is constantly searching for methods to make farming easier and use less money or labor. The main factor contributing to the high cost of farming is the use of tractors. Tractors are more expensive due to their high fuel consumption. But technology has intervened and provided an answer. The Electrical Engineering world’s idea to switch from fuel to DC batteries has made electric tractors more accessible and reliable for farmers. Farming is more economical and convenient with electric tractors. Electric tractors are being investigated as a potential substitute for traditional diesel-powered tractors as a result of the shift to sustainable agriculture. The technological developments, environmental advantages, viability from an economic standpoint, and difficulties related to electric tractors are all examined in this paper. This article attempts to give a general overview of the possible role that electric tractors could play in revolutionizing contemporary agriculture by examining current models, use cases, and market trends. With a number of advantages for farmers and the environment, electric tractors have become a viable substitute for conventional diesel-powered tractors. The main characteristics, benefits, drawbacks, and potential applications of electric tractors in contemporary agriculture are examined in this review article.
Keywords: Regenerative Braking, High Efficiency, Low Noise Pollution, Zero Emissions, and Intelligent Technology Integration
