Solar tractor
The tractor on the Community Farm is powered from an array of solar cells. It's an Allis-Chalmers H, with several conversion kits to make it electric drive. An array of solar cells on the barn powers a battery bank which is used to charge the tractor. Terry Richards did the conversion.
