UK first as robot tractor starts work in Ipswich

He put the company in touch with Agrointelli a farmer-owned agricultural machinery maker in Denmark and by January, Andrew had secured approval from Home Farm’s board of directors to introduce the new technology on the farm. The new piece of 150 horsepower kit costs around £150k versus about £120k for a conventional manned machine, and is said to be highly fuel efficient. “I am very, very pleased and excited about it,” said Mr Wiliams. The machine only in operation since mid-April was already proving its worth, he said although he admits it has been a learning curve. On the first day after its arrival, the team at Home Farm Nacton tried it out on a potato field. What the farmers failed to realise was that while the field had been initially mapped out using GPS, it hadn’t when the field was de-stoned or when it was planted. That meant the mapping co-ordinates no longer reflected the precise plan on the ground and the weeder went awry as a result.
