Hi,

Thanks for the discussion and thoughts that you all have shared so far. I
definitely agree with David Roden that the electric tractor market could 
be a
tough nut to crack, especially on the bottom end commodity market.

It doesn't cost anything to explore the problems and try to identify what 
the
appropriate market might be. I know that it is a topic that has already 
been
talked to half to death, but it is an interesting topic to think about (at
least to me...)

This comment has me thinking abit:

I wonder whether the times are starting to change. There is a tiny but
noticeably growing appreciation for responsible lifestyles and "clean and
green" stuff. Perhaps an electric tractor that was somehow "cool" and super
easy to use would be the token first step for people who are feeling guilty
about driving their monster truck to work everyday.
