The hybrid car has arrived. The hybrid truck and truck fleets are in use today. The hybrid tractor is now on the horizon. A few years ago Case IH displayed a prototype at an agricultural show in Europe. With a combined diesel engine and a pair of 67 hp electric motors, this prototype can be a reality in the near future.

For the near future and to reach a broader market, a number of manufactures are considering or producing hybrid and electric tractors for home and small farm use. This will help eliminate one of the last unregulated pollution contributors in the American market. But mass production is still not a reality.

John Deere developed an all-electric utility tractor with a 500 lbs payload. This is currently in production and available to the consumer wishing to think green when it comes to yard work. There have been reports of a larger hybrid electric and gasoline engine with a zero turning radius for the lawn but nothing is in production as of yet.

The Sun Horse is already available for a solar powered walk behind tractor. This tractor is capable of plowing and seeding crops but still is for the small scale. The price is between $2,300 and $4,700.

One would think that since almost every homeowner in America must keep his or her lawn neat and cut that someone would be producing green lawn equipment. These unregulated and high emission produces will have to be addressed. If it can be made economically it will be purchased and used. Think about it inventors, is the plans for hybrid lawn tractor in your mind?
