Again, many highlights and industry events during the last month, providing a great opportunity to connect with farmers, industry experts. Our autonomous solutions are showcased at events all across Europe, by us and our valued partners. We even got nominated for a Tractor of the Year Award, in the category “TotYBot”.
TotYBot Award
Our AgBot 5.115T2 is nominated for Tractor of the Year, in the category “TotYBot”! An international award given to the best tractors on the European market. Our AgBot 5.115T2 is not only user-friendly and lightweight, but also operates below the irreversible soil compaction threshold. This prevents further soil degradation, ensuring the growth of healthier crops and yielding higher outputs.
Let the challenge begin and hope for another victory during the ceremony in November at the EIMA event in Bologna!
BioVelddag
Our partner Weevers Nieuwstad was present at the BioVelddag in Lelystad, the Netherlands. They gave a demonstration of the AgBot 5.115T2 in combination with the Maschio Dominator 3000. The BioVelddag is all about organic farming, and now our partner has showed the ways of autonomous soil preparation, suitable for organic farming.
Perendag
Before the actual event, the Perendag (Pear Day), started, we gave a demonstration of our AgBot 2.055W3 together with our partners Nouws Mechanisatie and H.S.S. The Perendag was located at the guest company Vogelaar Fruitcultures FruVo in Krabbendijke, but we gave the demonstration at a field close by in Kruiningen.
