Big, cheap batteries. Tractors don’t care about weight or speed. They don’t need fancy chemistries.

I’d also think they could find a way to deploy a massive solar halo-type array since they’re working in big empty fields.



Tractors may not care about weight, but soil does. Current tractors cause soil compaction issues in farm fields, even heavier weight-inefficient-battery laden tractors would be that much worse.
