Start with age. Farmers are typically old guys, with average US farmer being nearly sixty years old (58.1 in 2022, with many states pushing the average well above 06).

In addition to reduced fuel costs, minimal maintenance needs, and superior uptime, that ability to operate autonomously (or remotely) has led CNH to claim their new electric farm tractor offers up to 50% reduction in operating costs compared to similar diesel farm tractors.</p><p>“The first Farmall was an innovative tractor when it was released in 1923,” said Mirco Romagnoli, Vice President CASE IH, Europe, when the 75c Electric was first shown in Europe, last year. “And, one hundred years later, the Farmall Electric holds true to that principle.”</p><p>In apparent agreement with Romagnoli’s take on his company’s own design, the CASE IH Farmall 75c Electric tractor was awarded a 2023 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. And, if you’re a fan of old Farmalls, a quick glance at this modern take on that classic design should be all it takes to get you to agree, too.</p><p>This is one seriously good-looking tractor.</p><p>The new electric Farmall is set to enter the UK and European markets first, with the company’s site inviting interested parties to reach out for more information. No word yet on a North American release – and that’s too bad, because with a 55 kW (approx. 75 hp) motor, 110 kWh battery, and the ability to DC fast charge the battery from 10-80% in about forty minutes, this electric tractor (unlike some smaller units) seems to have the right set of features to make a big difference on a lot of small- to medium-sized farms.</p><h2>Electrek’s Take</h2><p>We had a chance to talk about the latest CNH BEVs with Marc Kermisch, CIO of CNH Industrial, over at The Heavy Equipment Podcast a few months back. My take on their efforts on developing EVs for both farming and construction is definitely positive – but Marc’s take on things like methane capture and hydrogen may surprise you.</p><p>Click on that play button to give it a listen, then let us know what you think of Marc’s take in the comments.</p><p><b>SOURCE | IMAGES</b>: CNH, via Agritechnica, Global Design News.</p></div></body>
