Well put Alistair!. There are 3 for sale Market Weighton Ripon Farm services. All 3 are duffers, 'returned' by very, very unhappy customers. I know there are more similar in the UK but JD won't own up to the fact that they are not fit for purpose and refused to buy them back. It's cost all of us to get out of them. The only good part is that I've now got huge 952i and new tractor that work perfectly. I think I'm supposed to thank RFS and JD but it's left a very bad taste!
There's a 2022, 760hr machine at £127k. Thats half price of new?

Come and see us ( SoilEssentials) Hall 8, C21.

No hospitality, or freebies I'm afraid, but some ground breaking tech being shown.

E.g. Green on green spot sprayer spraying docks and potato

SkAI spot sprayer in docks and onions

All built in house and designed for UK / European equipment and conditions..

Jim

will try to find time if we can Jim - green on brown / green on green seems to be a thing this year

It would be programmed so the slightest sensor fail would cause it to automatically stop. There would be multiple built in extra precautions.
Which would inevitably be soo sensitive you get alerts so often that you have to sit in the field/follow it round to keep the thing going. Might as well have a nice warm cab on top and have a ride...

Look at most European container ports…. All use autonomous vehicles. They work next to very deep pieces of water…. To expand your mind you have to expand your eyes.

Really? You mean like dock cranes etc? that is genuinely the first time I've heard that. How do they know which wagon to drop which box on?

My comment came from a cost, relaibility and liability pov
