Farmtrac say their all-electric compact tractor, the FT25G, so impressed show founder Robert Llewellyn on his Fully Charged TV show last year that it will be will be at Fully Charged LIVE UK in September. 

Steven Haynes, sales manager at Farmtrac, says, “Last year the FT25G featured on an episode of Fully Charged and the immediate reaction from the audience was incredibly positive and it has since proved itself to be a worthy alternative to a diesel-powered tractor. This year we have further increased the options available on the tractor to make it even more useful in a host of year-round applications and we can’t wait for people to experience it first-hand.”

On an episode of Fully Charged which airs to over three million people a month on YouTube, the FT25G was put through a series of tests to evaluate its performance and both Fully Charged TV show host and show founder, Robert Llewellyn and farmer Adam Henson, were highly impressed with the results.

Robert said at the time: “What it has proven today beyond a shadow of a doubt, it’s not just me saying it, it’s Adam – proper farmer too – he drives tractors all the time and he absolutely loves this thing. It’s so much quieter than a diesel machine... It’ll give you six to seven hours of hard work. So, I’ve been using this thresher that uses a lot of energy and it’s fine, it keeps going. And it doesn’t half do it well, it mashes through it.”

The FT25G compact tractor is the first commercially available all-electric tractor in the UK. Featuring a 72V lithium-ion battery and onboard charger, the FT25G produces zero emissions and low noise. The manufacturer says it can be charged from any domestic socket to 100 percent in eight hours.

The FT25G will be on stand E18 from 3-5 September at Fully Charged LIVE UK, Farnborough International.
