autonomous electric tractor
John Deere's new autonomous tractor concept is a very compact electric drive unit with integrated attachment. The total power of the tractor is 500 kW and can be equipped with wheels or tracks. Depending on the application, flexible ballasting from 5 to 15 tons is possible to help reduce soil compaction. Thanks to the electric drive, there are no operating emissions and the noise levels are extremely low. Other advantages include low wear and maintenance costs.
semi-autonomous tractor
This tractor moves semi-autonomously and is equipped with an integrated crop sprayer. Using a built-in camera, it is possible to work in row crops, for example, by applying plant protection products to orchards. The filling of the sprayer tank is fully automatic at the filling station, so the user is not exposed to pesticides. This is designed to reduce costs and increase productivity by over 30 percent.
autonomous drone sprayer
This drone is equipped with a weed scanner and crop sprayer that allows aerial screening of weeds and then specific control. The 10.6 liter tank is filled fully automatically at a field border station, where automatic battery charging also takes place. With a fully charged battery, the flight time is 30 minutes. The main advantage of this drone is the precise application of pesticides, which significantly reduces the quantities used. Aerial spraying is also possible regardless of ground conditions.
