Ohio-based solar appliance company GoSun, together with Indian manufacturer Moonrider, has launched a new electric tractor with optional solar charging.
“This new electric vehicle is engineered to replace traditional diesel-fuel tractors. The new vehicle combines high-torque electric performance with GoSun’s signature optional integrated solar charging technology, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for modern agriculture, homesteading, and property maintenance,” the companies said in a statement.
The tractor can be charged via a 220 V AC connection or an optional 1.1 kW solar array. It is equipped with a 24 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, which the companies say provides about five hours of runtime on a full charge. The solar array can provide about 1.5 hours of additional runtime on a sunny day, according to the manufacturers.
An optional power generator is also available, enabling the tractor to function as a mobile power source for electric tools.
“Small-scale farming and property management have relied on noisy, costly diesel utility vehicles for far too long,” said Patrick Sherwin, founder and CEO of GoSun. “With our new All-Electric Tractor, we are empowering farmers and land managers to literally work in the sunshine—reducing operational costs while protecting the soil and air. Electric tractors are a key part of the future of farming.”
The tractor measures 2.27 m in height, 2.78 m in length and 1.04 m in width, and weighs 1,095 kg. It features four-wheel drive and has a rated power output of 27 hp. Its hitch has a lifting capacity of 750 kg.
The vehicle also uses a constant-mesh transmission with nine forward and three reverse speeds. Its rear power take-off (PTO) delivers 22.8 hp and operates at 540/540E. Other specifications include oil-immersed brakes, a dry single clutch, a 1.58 m wheelbase, 270 mm of ground clearance and a turning radius of 1.4 m.
