Editorial policy

ElectricTractors.co.uk exists to help UK farmers, growers, estate managers and groundcare teams work out whether battery machinery makes sense for them. This page sets out how the guides are researched, written and maintained.

What we cover

Electric tractors and the wider electrification of agricultural machinery, in a UK context: costs, batteries and charging, farm electrical supply, practical use cases, grants and the direction the technology is heading. Where a topic depends on local conditions (tariffs, ground conditions, duty cycle) we say so rather than pretending a single answer fits every holding.

How guides are researched

  • We start from published manufacturer specifications, UK government and grant body material, trade press reporting, and technical literature on batteries and charging.
  • Figures are shown with the assumptions behind them (electricity price, diesel price, annual hours, machine size) so you can re-run them with your own numbers.
  • Where evidence is thin or the market is moving quickly, the guide says that plainly instead of filling the gap with a confident guess.

Sourcing

Articles carry a source list, and every source used across the site is collected on the sources page. We link to primary material wherever it is publicly available. We do not cite anonymous forum posts or AI-generated summaries as evidence.

Accuracy, updates and corrections

Guides are reviewed as prices, grants and models change, and updated articles show a revision date. If you spot something wrong or out of date, tell us through the contact page. Substantive corrections are made to the article itself rather than quietly deleted.

Independence

Guides are written on their merits. Manufacturers and dealers do not get to review, approve or amend coverage before publication, and no coverage is sold. Advertising, where it appears, is clearly separated from editorial content.

Use of imagery

Photographs and illustrations are generic and representative. They do not depict specific commercial models and are not endorsements or comparisons. See the disclaimer for the limits of everything published here.

Not advice

Everything on this site is general information. It is not financial, legal, electrical or engineering advice, and it is not a substitute for a professional assessment of your own site and supply.
