Having already been on display at the LAMMA 2019 show, Farmtrac’s all-electric FT25G tractor will be back this year with its multiple awards since.
Steven Haynes, tractor sales manager at Farmtrac distributor Reesink Agriculture, explains: “We always knew that the first all-electric tractor would generate a lot of interest, especially one with the build quality of the FT25G, but it really has been on another level.”
The compact 25HP tractor won the SALTEX Innovation Award in the Environmental and Sustainability category at the end of last year.
“As the first company to enter the market with an all-electric compact tractor, Farmtrac wanted to ensure that this tractor could perform as well as any diesel compact without any major drawbacks for those choosing to go electric," said Mr Haynes.

The tractor hasn’t just impressed the GMA though; it also impressed the world’s number one clean energy and electric vehicle channel Fully Charged’s presenter Robert Llewellyn and farmer Adam Henson who reviewed it, put it through its paces around the farm and in a Top Gear-style Battle of the Tractors for BBC’s Countryfile and Fully Charged TV.
And last but in no means least, the FT25G was recently invited by show organisers at the London International Horse show to provide eco-friendly support.
“The show is held in an indoor arena and organisers were concerned about indoor pollution and noise from the normal diesel tractors that would have been used in the past. Like many companies they are keen to use greener technologies where possible.
“So, there was a real need to do something a little different and we were more than happy to support them with our all-electric Farmtrac FT25G tractors," he concluded.
