Abstract	A tractor is a compact and versatile vehicle designed for use in agricultural activities and other outdoor usage. Tractors normally use diesel as fuel that provides ample power for a range of tasks, including plowing, tilling, and hauling. Operational cost of tractors on fuel is high, produces noise pollution and environmental pollution which is a global concern now. Some companies have started electric operation of tractors but the price is very high because of less players in the market and high price of battery bank. In this paper a Garden tractor has been used for conversion from fuel operation to electric operation. The compressor of hydraulic oil has also been operated by the same motor by adding a pulley on the shaft of motor coupling assembly with power transmission system. The research includes component selection, mechanical and electrical design adaptations, energy requirements, economic analysis, and performance comparison. The prototype demonstrates that electric tractors can meet the functional needs of small- to medium-scale farms while contributing to sustainable agriculture.
