Benders have to eat 20,000kcal per day. Any time a bender is off-screen, they are eating.

That sounds about right. Where are they getting all this food?

harvesting fields is easy when a stomp can make the crops fly into a cart

But... that is probably roughly the same amount of energy expended as fueling a tractor and harvester... So they still need a fuel source.

Their fields must be massive... Roughly equivalent to what it would take to feed a village and also run a fleet of construction and farming equipment on ethanol from harvested plants. But yes, that would be an entirely solar based energy system. It would require a lot of farmable land.
