This panel discussion about autonomy and automation at the National Farm Machinery Show earlier this month featured leaders from Sabanto, Solinftec, Agtonomy and Case IH. The question about how to get farmers on the path to autonomy came up.
Marketing Specialist Sara Gillum explains how Sabanto's retrofit kit can transform a conventional tractor into an autonomous tractor and the recent announcement of King Ranch Ag and Turf joining Sabanto's network of dealers and how this will affect the market.
Mark Klein has worked more than 6,000 days in the parts department at Vanderloop Equipment (VE), and he is still learning new things every day. That’s what has kept him going for more than 25 years.
This addition allows owners of John Deere 5075E cab and open operator station tractors to reallocate their time and efforts to other important aspects of their operation.
Convincing growers to invest in precision technologies almost always comes down to ROI, and upgrade kits help deliver all the benefits at a fraction of the cost.
Aftermarket upgrades give growers an opportunity to turn their existing equipment into high-tech precision agriculture machinery. For the industry to build broader adoption, dealers must play a pivotal role.
Jake Warford, precision ag specialist with Linco-Precision, shares his experience working with the Sabanto autonomy kit. Although the kit is mainly being used for tillage and mowing tasks at the moment, Warford explains how he used it to plant cover crops and wheat in 2023. “Crawl, walk, run is Sabanto’s philosophy, and right now we’re walking,” Warford says.
