Solar Tractor

Why not haul a solar farm to power a Tractor. If agricultural tractors already carry implements 160 feet wide? Question- what solar panel size is towable?

• Largest seeders are 160 feet wide. [1]. 120' appears common.
• 80 feet appears common - [2]
• JD DB90 and DB120 are the largest drills - 36 and 48 rows, 90 and 120 feet, respectively. [3]

Towable Solar Panel

• Let's take 30 meter wide by 5 meter for the solar array, riding right above the implement. Power produced - 150 watts per square meter. Times 150. 22.5kW. Not a lot. But enough for autonomous operation at slow speed.
