Buyer’s guide: tillage and soil work robots
How they work
They pull or carry standard or dedicated implements and follow GPS paths with centimetre accuracy, often lighter than a tractor so they compact the soil less.
What to check before buying
- Pulling power and hitch type
- Which implements are supported
- Weight and soil compaction
