Products and Technology
The SmartAg Autonomous Grain Cart System
The tractor-grain cart combo can be called to a nearly full combine and follow along for on-the-go unloading. The system syncs with the combine and stays on track even if the combine speed changes – all without a driver in the tractor. The showcase offers more details on how this system works in-field.
The DOT Technology Autonomous System
Appearing for the first time at a U.S. farm show, this full-size autonomous tractor works with custom-designed implements that link up with the power unit to get work done. This demonstration offers an up-close look at how this fully autonomous system works. DOT offers tillage, spraying and application tools for the DOT power unit, with a planter under development. Both technologies are a part of Raven Autonomy™.
