Both VAWT & HAWT are on poles or towers that you have to avoid running into with the tractor.

Several issues withn small size VAWT haven't been mentioned yet:
The power output per square meter wind farm may be higher for small VAWTs, but the disadvantage is, they use the area exclusively. With large HAWTs spaced 400ft apart, the area can be used for farming with a minimum area lost for wind power, VAWT spaced at 20 ft don't allow any use.
Higher weight per power (kg/kW) means also higher costs per kW as materials don't come for free.
In the OSE wiki I found some requirements for wind turbines: <<<Low-cost - must cost less than $1 per installed watt and $0.05/kWh produced on a medium speed site (6m/s average speed [13.4mph, 21.6km/h]) >>> I am very curious if its possible to achieve this goal with small turbines.
