Abstract: One or more operation records related to an operation of a fleet of one or more electric tractors by an agriculture business on a particular land area may be stored in a chained operation record ledger. A certification authority may be provided with access to the chained operation record ledger for the certification authority to determine based at least on data in the chained operation record ledger whether the agriculture business meets one or more certification requirements of a certification status. In response to the certification authority determining that the agriculture business has met one or more certification requirements of the certification status, a notification indicating that the agriculture business has achieved the certification status is provided for presentation on a user device of the agriculture business. Otherwise, another indication that the agriculture business has failed to achieve the certification status is provided for presentation on the user device.

Abstract: An electric tractor including one or more all-electric bidirectional force exerting three-point hitch assemblies for lifting and lowering farm tool implements in level relationship to the ground regardless of the elevation of lift applied to the implement. The front, middle and rear three-point hitch assemblies are each operated using linear actuators. The hitches may be coupled with battery boxes to provide power and to counterbalance attached farm implements. Each of the described three-point hitch assemblies (including embodiments for front, middle and rear positions) may be operated through manipulation of electric controls. Electronic components include controller, displays, panels, wiring harnesses, linear actuators, joy sticks, lighting, switches, gauges, electric battery management system for managing one or more power sources, and processing modules and memory for controlling hitch movement and implements.
