Wow, now imagine what tractor tires are doing to the fields we grow our food in. Plus the exhaust and tires deposit heavy metals. I have been bitching about this for years. We need drone fleets in fields and to ban tires and exhaust in fields.
The tires aren't breaking down like they do on asphalt. Not the same.
That we know of.
try falling down on a tillaged field and then do the same on asphalt. you will know soon enough which is more abrasive lol
We have all the data in the world to verify this. Yes, that we know... which in this occasion, is pretty much confirmed until proven otherwise. Claims with no evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
I come from farmers. They are still breaking down and still an issue. They also cause soil compaction. Anyone familiar with farming understands that tractors aren't good for soil
Where have all the steel wheels gone?
They went around smaller steel wheels:
I wish it was pure iron dust wearing off that steel, but no. The flying drone idea seems good, but for harvesting?
Exhaust gas is poison.

I think we could eventually do drone fleets for harvesting too, yes. It should be the new standard so we stop poisoning ourselves.
