An electric work vehicle includes a main frame supporting a travel device, and a battery. The electric work vehicle includes a support frame that is attached to the main frame and on which the battery is placed to be supported by the main frame. The electric work vehicle includes a motor operable with power supplied from the battery to drive the travel device, and the motor is suspended by the support frame.

An autonomous vehicle platform system and method configured to perform various in-season management tasks, including selectively applying fertilizer, mapping growth zones and seeding cover crop within an agricultural field, while self-navigating between rows of planted crops and beneath the canopy of the planted crops on the uneven terrain of an agricultural field, allowing for an ideal in-season application of fertilizer to occur once the planted crop is well established and growing rapidly, in an effort to limit the loss of fertilizer.

A vehicle combining the attributes of a tractor and a utility vehicle includes a three point linkage and other locations to which a plurality of attachments for performing grooming or working operations on a ground or turf surface may be couple. The vehicle includes a front mounted engine, a mid-mounted operator compartment and a rear mounted bed or box. A PTO shaft and/or a hydraulic power system of the vehicle power attachments that require power. A control system and a visual display and data entry device linked thereto are provided for allowing an authorized person to setup, store and thereafter use an operational profile for each attachment that is to be coupled to the vehicle. In a rate dependent attachment, the control system maintains the ground speed and the attachment implement in a fixed ratio. A down/up control is used to signal the start and end of an operational sequence to the control system.

A tractor can include a frame that can include a front frame portion, and a rear frame portion that articulates relative to the front frame portion and an electric power source that can be supported by the frame. Tractive elements can be supported by the frame and configured to operate to move the tractor over terrain, including front tractive elements supported by the front frame portion and rear tractive elements supported by the rear frame portion. A plurality of electric motors can be supported by the frame. A first drive motor can be arranged to power one or more of the front tractive elements, and a second drive motor can be arranged to power one or more of the rear tractive elements.

An automated farming system includes a frame. The frame includes a fixed base, a beam, and a support. A farming implement support extends from the beam and moves up and down in relation to the beam. The farming implement support moves along a length of the beam. The movable support includes a propulsion system and is configured to rotate around the fixed base. Movement of the farming implement support and the movable support allows for high density planting of crops in hexagonal patterns and/or a continuous spiral pattern.
