We've taken a product that we already have that's proven that we've been making for very many years.
We've taken the engine out of it and put a battery and electric pack into it.
So ultimately, we are diving into a new world, a new market.
But as the product stands, it is so similar to the standard tractor.
It's actually quite underwhelming demonstrating this tractor because it's the same as its brother.
So if you are a Fendt user, a Fendt driver and you've driven Fendt tractors before, there is absolutely no difference to driving this tractor to the other one.
The only difference is, is you, of course, don't have to put diesel in or wait for the glow plug light to go out.
That very much depends on the application you are doing with it.
So we have some of these tractors out in the UK at the moment.
Some of them are with turf growers and such like, where they are doing very, very light duty applications where they're not needing a lot of energy.
So when you're in that application, you're not needing much energy.
It will do a seven or eight hour day.
If we put two tractors side by side, the diesel one and the electric one, if a farmer can complete his daily tasks in less than one third of a tank of diesel, then this tractor will do the same job.
The machine I'm currently in now obviously has a loader.
It's really, really good for loader work.
There's lots of stopping and starting.
