An Feirm Ground
Q: What advice would you give to someone who is struggling to talk about it?

Hybrid and electric tractors from China
Q: How much is the 160 horsepower hybrid engine going to cost in Ireland?
The price for the 160 horsepower hybrid is expected to be north of 130,000 euros, signaling a strong price-to-performance proposition compared with traditional diesel tractors.

Fendt battery tractor
Q: How long will the battery last during a typical farm day?
