Huge piece of metal on wheels with sharp, spinning blades and other farm gear that drives itself around your property...what could possibly go wrong???
You’d be surprised at how smart this machine is. Also it doesn’t travel as fast. It will stop before reaching an obstacle. And strips of farm land are much safer than highways.
During my college years, around 2nd or 3rd year, we were told that mechanization and machine operations in agriculture is no joke. treat every machine with care and hazard. One misstep and it will be a disaster. However, this is a step up in technology which hopefully reduces human error. believe me, I'm an agricultural and biosystems engineer.
@@rlaw8658 then what is the purpose of this machine? What exactly are farmers to be doing with the "free" time they'll have not being in the seat. I can't see it improving anything, farmers have time to do the jobs that don't require tractors, it's time in the tractor during suitable conditions that's scarce. That means running machines optimally as long as possible with as little down time as possible. The little adjustments and imperfections that human operators make and work around while getting the job done are countless over a full season. If this machine can't operate outside its program can't assess changes in its environment and working conditions past what information is given to it by the farmer then it won't work. It's going to end up a white elephant in the ag industry history. If you tell a computer it's seeing 1+1 it can add that up to 2, but if it actually see 1+2 as far as it is concerned its 1+? and that won't compute and it'll stop. Just won't work
I was going to sleep, watching this last video, and I am a fan of yours. But at 4:09 you said the average age of a farmer is 55 years old, because they sit behind a chair 'like that'. I know you mean that having robotic tractors will help them endure aging, but they are 55 because no one, not even their own kids in most cases, want to do the job. It's not even respected the way it once was. I'm glad the robotics are here also (I guess... I'm an old guy) - because I want to see America continue as a leader in food production. Nice video.
Actually you’ll be surprised how few people work on a farm vis a vis how much needs to be done. This just allows skeletal teams to be able rondo to do other things.

Correction. I meant to say autonomous not automated. Sorry folks.

I was not expecting a TRACTOR preview on this channel
Think of it as a self driving monster truck
😂
Would love to see more farming related videos like this. No one else covers it.

This is cool
But i am concerned about John Deere anti right to repair stands
My favorite channel ❤️
I want to drive this lol
Great video.
Thanks!
A Tech channel covering a Tractor 😂 am I dreaming ??
There’s a lot of tech in that tractor. Would you say the same thing if I covered a self driving car? :)
Great review, ill pick one up. When does it launch in LA
Me too. Lol
Kk
So are they losing the cab?
You still need to drive the tractor to the field.
@@gadgetmatch so is the roll out a new ground up tractor or just this tech put on all the current gen tractors?.
@@midwesttractorspotting.6375 are you blind? You can see it’s the current 8R with tech added on
@@noahranker4133 I meant on roll out. This is clearly not the production model . Why have the best cab in the industry not to sit in it much?
Mass unemployment. is what it means
Yep

@@gadgetmatch give it time. there will be no need for any workers
