[QUOTE="PSQ, post: 6277920, member: 11374"] My Horsch drill has 14 coulters, none of which a sensor to stop the drill if a coulter falls off. One assembly did fall off in it's first season, and it was spotted by a good operator straight away, dragging under the drill by a seed hose. To mechanise the labour out of the job, every coulter will need a sensor, to cover every eventuality every moving part will need a sensor. But It wont be a part falling off the drill that loses the farm a days drilling, it will be one or more of 400 sensors going on the blink that f**ks the job right up. Only then will we realise that 400 expensive sensors can't replace 1 pair of eyes. In 10 years time, when the £40,000 a year skilled labour has been paid off, we'll be able to spend all day watching YouTube clips of 'automated' tractors dragging three quarters of a seed drill and 100 yards of fence across 10,000 ha farms, and gleefully say: "Isn't 'progress' wonderful!" And God forbid the 5G network goes down during harvest, it would paralyse the industry. [/QUOTE]
