Applications

Yard work & site upkeep

Most of what a small holding's machinery does is not the headline job. It is moving something from one end of the yard to the other, cutting the strip that has got away, clearing the corner that has become a nuisance. Those jobs are what makes a machine worth owning, and they are the ones a big tractor is too much for.

The AFT-e1 sits on charge and starts on a switch, which changes what gets done. There is no warming up, no fuel to fetch, and nothing to winterise if it stands for a fortnight.

The trailer gives five hours of haulage on one charge. The flail mower deals with the ground that has been left to itself. And when the day is done the pack comes out in under a minute and the next one goes in.
