CNH Autonomous Tractor unveiled at Farm Progress Show in Boone Iowa

[AgrivilleAdmin]

CNH Autonomous tractor was unveiled at the Farm Progress show in Boone, Iowa this week.

The cabless and driverless tractor takes a pre-planned path through the field to complete field work such as tillage or planting. The farmer manages the tractor over the internet and will be alerted if the tractor detects any obstacles.

I doubt anyone would ever buy a concept like that - the cost of the cab is not likely that much compared to the overall cost of a tractor. Still will need an operator for some tasks.

It does look pretty cool though and I am sure our machinery looks different to older farmers who remember machinery 60-70 years ago.

I bet there are many applications worldwide when the cost/price and efficiencies become par with labor.
