Dutch Diesel Electric “Tool Carrier” Tractor
![]() |
The “tool carrier” tractor has an elongated frame with hitches up front and between the engine and cab. It’s designed to work a 27-ft. strip in a controlled-traffic situation to reduce compaction. The Claas cab slides back and forth 7 ft. across the main frame to always give the operator good vision.
An electric generator is driven by a 6-cyl. 210 hp. diesel engine, powering electric drive motors on each wheel. Wheels move in and out electro-hydraulically from 7 to 10 ft. in width. The innovative tractor is slated to reach the market in 2019. (www.boessenkool.com; ph 011 31 546-48 88 00)
