The Autonomous Tractor Corporation is close to launching a range of new technologies which it says will help farmers halve their equipment costs.
In exclusive comments to Robotics and Automation News, Kraig Schulz, CEO of ATC, says the company’s latest eDrive system would cost between $250 and $500 per horsepower.
This is approximately half the cost of a new tractor, which costs anywhere between around $750 and $1,000 per hp.
Schulz says: “The system costs will obviously depend on configuration, horsepower, and so on, but we can have a retrofit eDrive system for a 325 hp sprayer done, installed, ready to go for about $75,000 which is a little less than having the whole thing rebuilt with hydrostatic drives – about $80,000.
