When I actually looked at the article, I was impressed. The point was that
there are all kinds of all-field applications that do not require the big
behemoth tractor, but the current farmer still drives the big monster
tractor when a robot with wheels not much bigger than fat bike tires can do
a lot of the weeding, seeding, and inspection and trimming and whatever

Yes, most small scale fruit/vegetable "truck" farming is done with small
tractors. 25-30 hp. Rarely over 50 hp. Most tractoring sessions, in
my experience, last 1-2 hours. I would have bought an electric tractor
many years ago had something reliable been available. A
semi-successful golf cart battery type conversion has been an
Allis-Chalmers G, a ~10 hp tractor used mostly for cultivating.
