Its cheaper with Nanosolar's cells. We should make this the law, immediately. The oil companies will fight this, tooth and nail, behind the scenes, of course. We should not rest till it is the law.

Awsome ! I had read about doing this in my Mother Earth News. Great to see someone actually doing this ! Now if you just add g.p.s. you wouldn't need an operator.

great iniative, although I think we have to rely on the petroldriven tractors until the electric powered onesget more effective.

He was smart and did it before the market demanded it, our farmers should all have this power incorporated into their farming equipment to keep them going without the cost of fuel bankrupting them

"We farm 5000 acres in ks. so it would take 5 years to farm it once. well never work"Well, it wouldn´t work with 5 solar cellson the rooftop of your tractor, but with20 cells or/and an additional windmillit would work. And yes, it would be more a 70000 $ project than a 7000 $ project.But what is the cost for a new conventional tractor and fuel over 10 years ?Probably more than 70 000 $.

Some states pay half of the cost. |
