Electric vehicles may finally be gaining traction, with every major automaker releasing models, or planning their all-electric fleets. Many countries around the world are putting in dates when sales of internal combustion cars must stop altogether.

Now we’re seeing field and farm equipment getting into the game. The new Monarch Mk 4 compact tractor is all-electric, able to operate for 10+ hours, and capable of autonomous, driver-optional driving.

We love the idea of this small tractor working fields in quiet, zero-emissions peace, letting the sounds of nature play out, without the clouds of diesel exhaust and machinery noises.
