Electric tractors that care for people and animals
Livestock
Livestock farms require robust and reliable machines for daily tasks such as feed movement, manure handling and pasture and barn maintenance. Electric compact tractors offer the same powerful performance as diesel models, with the added benefits of reduced maintenance, quiet operation and lower operating costs. This allows you to focus your energy on what really matters: caring for your farm and animals.
The benefits of electric tractors
for the livestock industry
Protect your farm and animals from harmful emissions
Electric tractors produce no harmful emissions, ensuring a healthier environment in and around the stables. This supports a future-oriented and sustainable agricultural business and is in line with the growing demand for environmentally friendly solutions, something more and more livestock farmers are attaching importance to.
Give your livestock industry a sustainable edge
Less noise means a quieter work area for both animals and employees, which is especially important during barn maintenance and feeding operations. The electric motor operates almost silently, which adds to the peace and quiet on your farm and provides a pleasant working environment that promotes well-being.
Make the smart choice: maximum savings with minimum maintenance
Electric models have no oil, filters or complex engine parts, which reduces maintenance and therefore unexpected costs. The low TCO makes it a smart investment that pays off in the long run.

Applications of electric tractors
in livestock farms
Electric tractors are versatile on livestock farms. For feed management, they are useful for pulling feed wagons and feed mixers to the barns, allowing you to get feed to the animals quickly and in an organized manner, even in tight spaces.
There are also several options when it comes to manure management. Tools such as manure rakes and sliders make it easy to spread manure across the land, ensuring even soil care. For pasture management, lawn mowers and aerators are practical accessories to keep pastures healthy and give your animals access to well-maintained lawns.

Frequently asked questions about...
Compact electric tractors are versatile and suitable for everyday farm tasks such as feed hauling, manure management, pasture maintenance and material transport. Their smaller size makes them ideal for tight spaces and precision work, both indoors and outdoors. Like diesel models, electric tractors can deliver powerful performance in these tasks, but without the emissions and with lower operating costs.
Our compact electric tractors have a battery life of 6 to 8 hours, depending on the intensity of work and farm conditions. This is usually sufficient for a full working day. While diesel models can operate indefinitely as long as they are fueled, electric tractors offer a more economical long-term alternative due to lower fuel and maintenance costs
Yes, many electric compact tractors, such as Knegt's models of 45 and 55 hp, offer powerful power for daily tasks on livestock farms. These tractors are designed to handle tough tasks such as feed management, manure handling and pulling light to medium loads. With their powerful engines, they can provide the same performance in many areas as diesel tractors in similar power ratings.
Electric tractors require less maintenance than diesel models because they have no oil, filters or spark plugs. This results in lower long-term costs and less maintenance time.
Electric tractors have a low center of gravity and are therefore stable on slopes and rough terrain. In addition, safety features such as roll-over protection (ROPS) and seat belts are often standard, as they are on diesel models. This makes them a safe option for farms with varying terrain conditions
De electric tractors have a standard three-point hitch and PTO, making them compatible with many existing implements, such as manure spreaders and feeders. This offers t you flexibility in using their current equipment.
Electric tractors are completely emission-free, resulting in healthier air quality for both animals and personnel. This sustainable alternative significantly reduces the farm's carbon footprint compared to diesel models, which is becoming increasingly important in livestock production.
Modern lithium-ion batteries have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, depending on usage and the number of charge cycles. Dit zorgt voor een lange termijn van betrouwbaarheid zonder dat frequente vervanging nodig is, wat gunstig is voor veehouders die op zoek zijn naar een duurzame investerin g.
