First line of article says "If you were a farmer..." So I understand why parent focuses on farm utility. I agree with parent, productivity is the most important metric for farm equipment. Crops will not wait for you to charge your tractor. But I also agree with you that this is a toy, not a serious piece of equipment.

You don't seem to understand the categories of tractors in the market. Utility / compact utility tractors are used on farms, but are not the same as a 'farm tractor'. Not used usually for harvesting, bailing, heavy tillage, etc. More for all the other crapload of chores one does. Mowing, some tillage, box scraping, post holes, etc. And, no, this is no toy. It's more powerful than many compact utility tractors, including mine and has the same type of frame as most of them. Run length wouldn't be an issue for most uses of this class of tractor. Only task I do where I can see it being an issue is if I had to mow for more than a couple hours, or running the wood chipper, where I typically have the tractor parked running the chipper for hours while I feed it.
