I have to believe that electro-motive power in a large ag application would have great benefits as far as power transmission and fuel savings. I worked with battery powered forklifts for years and when maintained they couldn't be killed. These used traction motors and a motor to drive the hydraulics. For budge work, these would push every bit as hard as a comperable propane lift. When the battery dropped to 20% you changed it to a charged one and put the one you pulled on charge. Locomotive type traction motors would be more efficent as most gear drive machinery experiences sizeable parasitic power loses within the drives. And no matter how well gearing is matched there are still loses between the drives. A computer controlled set of traction motors can be controlled much more precisely measuring rpms in degrees even down to minutes.
