At that point, is this more environmental than applying Round-Up to the field?
Each of these lumbering beasts goes 5 MPH, burning diesel the entire time. How many gallons of gas is going to be spent weeding a hundred acres of farmland?
- CameronNemo 6y agoWell they are quite different pollutants. Hard to compare directly.
- SamBam 6y agoI know, and the two are often in conflict. For example, replacing a deforested area might sometimes be faster by introducing a non-native invasive species. From a carbon perspective it would be a net-good, from an ecosystem perspective it would be a net-bad. Which is more important?
- xxpor 6y agoHow do you think the roundup is applied in the first place?
- NullPrefix 6y agoDiesel engines can be eventually replaced with overhead wires
- frosted-flakes 6y agoIn a field? Not likely.
- briffle 6y agoThe QSF2.8 Diesel is a Tier 4 Diesel engine, so it is MUCH cleaner burning that most tractors out there.
