FAQs
+ When will the eFarmer be available?
The eFarmer will be available in Q4 2021.
+ When will the eFarmer be available outside North America?
We expect international availability in 2022.
+ Does the eFarmer accommodate my existing implements?
Yes. All Category I implements can be used, with the exception of those requiring hydraulics.
+ What is the purpose of the mid hitch on the eFarmer?
The mid hitch holds a tool carrier used for cultivating row crops and allows complete forward visibility of the crop being cultivated.
+What can the front hitch of the eFarmer be used for?
The front hitch on the eFarmer can be used to carry a low lift loader bucket or any other front mounted implement, such as a reaper. The front hitch is capable of lifting, moving and dumping 1,000 lbs. loads. It will be available in 2020. The loader bucket is expected to cost $1000.
+How do you mount exchangeable battery packs on the eFarmer?
Exchangeable battery packs will be available in the 3rd quarter of 2020. The 28 kWh packs can be mounted on the rear 3-point hitch to balance the weight of the optional front loader and extend operating time. The 28 kWh packs can also be carried on the mid or front hitch to balance the weight of heavy implements mounted on the rear hitch and extend operating time.
+Can the eFarmer be adjusted for different track width applications?
The eFarmer front and rear wheel track can be adjusted from 44” to 68” on center in 4” increments for working on beds from 30” to 48” in width.
+Why aren’t you using hydraulics for the hitches?
We are using linear actuators on the 3 hitches because they are 20 times more efficient than hydraulics and require no toxic fluids.
+How long do the batteries last?
10 years pending operating cycles and depth of discharge (DOD). 3,500 cycles @ 80% DOD
