3. EFFICIENCY

These tractors are efficient; it gives great accuracy when it works. The diesel tractor has 35% efficiency when it converts thermal energy into mechanical energy. Compare that with the efficiency of charging or discharging batteries 80%, while electric tractors are more efficient.

There won't be any direct emissions unlike diesel powered tractors due to which environmental damage and carbon emission will be substantially reduced. Reduced pollution will also result in better crop yield.
