Hopes are high for hybrid diesel engines in tractors

"When the brakes are released and it's time to move off, the gas powers the oil back through the pump, which now acts as a motor, to help power the vehicle along.

Developed by Eaton Hydraulics, this form of so-called regenerative braking is said to be able to "re-use" up to 70% of the braking power and, as a result, save significant amounts of fuel.

It also reduces emissions because the engine no longer has to employ peak power to start the vehicle from a standstill. Eaton says it plans to have prototype vehicles up and running later this year."

Hey Neb, with this tractor, just think of the plants that can be cultivated.......
