self diven tractor - 18th Feb 2008 8:03pm
An Estonian designer has come up with ultimate tool for the garden: a fully automated robot tractor.
There's no need to sit on the Valtra RoboTrac or even keep an eye on as all the user has to do is programme in what job is needed.
RoboTrac then uses the Internet and the same GPS satellites as a car's navigation system to find its way around and perform its tasks.
Its designer Hannes Seeburg says RoboTrac can be used for sowing, tilling, ploughing, spraying and grass cutting.
The RoboTrac is powered by a simple 85bhp diesel engine and can be bought with two- or four-wheel drive.
A 200-litre fuel tank means RoboTrac will work all day without a break.
