Honestly the electrification of farm equipment is coming too. For a tractor you want two things: weight and torque. Electric drivetrains provide both.
Tractors have way more complex transmissions(HST, Power Shuttle, etc) that all goes away with a VFD electric drivetrain. Large traction motors already exist(all cargo trains these days are diesel-electric). The lower operating costs and lower maintenance help as well.
If I could have bought our Kubota in an electric drivetrain I would have done it in a second
