Autonomous Electric Tractor - Future of Farming | John Deere

To solve some arguments, I am a farmer. I have a big family and a big corn farm in Texas. But, I love my robot tractor. I set it to work while I go ride my 1940 model B in the veggie garden. It's so cool. God gave us tools and knowledge and robotics we are going to use them. All you nuts should calm down about these they're fun.

Wonder what the electric bill looks like after charging that thing. Youd have to have three phase

I want this machine in india

This would be fun to own

This is not en tractor

Cool

Future farmers will sit in their comfy home and control the tractor remotely. If you’re a farmer who owns land. This is going to make your life a bit easier

It's a interesting Droid

How big is the weight difference between this and a normal tracktor with driver's cab?

And how long does the battery last? And how do you charge it when your fields are miles from your farm? And where is the power for these coming from? Coal? Nuclear? Solar? And how much will this cost a farmer? And what happens when you need to get a new battery? How is the old one going to be recycled or disposed of?

I bet the wheeled version wouldn't be able to move without a trailer or implement, or else it will face face-forward

How long before you need to recharge it? Not like there is a high voltage/speed charge station at the corner of every field.

I don’t call it my future

That's nice and all but is the owner of the machine allowesd to fix it themselves?

I have some questions. How do I charge these combines when they are 3 counties away from the shop in the middle of a cornfield, in the middle of nowhere?" "How do I run them 24 hours a day for 10 or 12 days straight when the harvest is ready, and the weather is coming in?" "How do I get a 50,000+ lb. combine that takes up the width of an entire road back to the shop 20 miles away when the battery goes dead?

When the corn is ready to harvest, it has to have the proper sugar and moisture content. If it is too wet, it has to be put in giant dryers that burn natural or propane gas, and lots of it. Harvest time is critical because if it degrades in sugar content or quality, it can drop the value of his crop by half a million dollars or more. It is analyzed at time of sale. It is standard procedure to run these machines 10 to 12 days straight, 24 hours a day at peak harvest time. When they need fuel, a tanker truck delivers it, and the machines keep going.

How many hours can it run per charge, how long to charge, what are the options for charging? Do I lose an hour or more every day to drive it to and from a charging station? Do I have to set a diesel generator up to charge it when I'm not close to home? Our tractors today run a minimum of 12 hours per day non stop to cover the acres. How will electric be competitive under those required circumstances?

How long does one charge last?

Це круто хлопці, краще ніж воювати, як це роблять рашисти

Nice

Helper A is blocked by and object

And you wonder why food prices are going up!

Bet it cant keep up with a farmers 18 hour days looks like a real joke

We are trying to do away with Nuclear power plants and traditional power plants. With all the electric cars mowers weed eaters chainsaws and everything else pretty sure there isn't enough space for windmills or solar panels to make electricity. Then there is are old power lines and old everything, I wonder what happens when everyone plugs in the batteries for all there electric everything at night, with all the extra load pretty sure something is going to give. I'm not against electric vehicles all's I'm thinking of is what nobody else seems to be concerned with in California they already have rolling blackouts in the summer do to too many people using A/C. I am just a regular idiot just asking questions that nobody seems to care about

Auto steer has been used for years and John Deere also has prototypes that use 1km or more of cable for power, which works perfectly in combination with auto steer.
As for maintenance electric vehicles have lower maintenance cost. Electric agricultural machines don't need to connect several consumers to a single Motor with gears shaft and belts but can power everything with its own motor. You also don't need transmission because motors can run at a different speed. And shockingly every one of these smaller motor only weights a fraction of an engine capable of running all systems at once. All of this lower maintenance cost even further.

Agco is striving for zero downtime for farmers. This kind of automation is also a key to this type of philosophy. Farmers work too hard and need everything that technology can give them to make their job easier.

This isn't supposed to replace a regular tractor, it is supposed to work alongside them to get more work done.

It's not farming it's industry, you should pay taxes

Suck on that RIGHT to REPAIR?

To bad they can't spell...

I hate the design

that thing couldnt pull a chuisel plow in the field espcially a 11 shanker what a joke we dont need electric tractors

Is this needing 5G?

It's adorable!

Tillman do a deal with Mr Karbauskis , my 1% deal goes to charity in India 🇮🇳

Green ranger tractor.
when i type in green ranger tractor, search bar should be going
"I gotchu"

as an afterthought...

I want the hovering one

Besides the lack of right to repair and service these, its all good until it drives in to a ditch, swamp or bank.

great video!
thanks

No wonder Bill Gates enjoyed farming 😁

It’s looks a little on the ugly side

i love computer made tractors in the junkyard on a Sunday afternoon an this will be in there when it hits the show room i like older tractors that were meant to be fixed an not your new tractors

Anybody know anything about time machines? Take me back to the good ol days.

Or your dead

Don't let farmers see

What is this tracked flat-iron

Any one saw the movie Interstellar?....you see where this is going??

What I really need is a droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.

What the hell is this it is trash I rather use the good old days tractors they are better and stronger,

No thats not fun
