The first AgBot T2 7-Series from AgXeed was delivered and commissioned at the end of March at the Princepeel Estate in the Netherlands. Here, the autonomous robot is being used for all agricultural tasks on the arable farm of the family owned business, which covers over 500 hectares.

With the introduction of the AgBot T2 7-Series, Princepeel Estate is taking the next step towards making the business more sustainable and automated, whilst this investment also enhances efficiency of their machinery fleet. The deployment of the AgBot fits perfectly within the vision of future-proof agriculture. With the AgBot, tasks can be carried out with precision, planned flexibly and, at the same time, address challenges such as labour availability and soil compaction. The autonomous agricultural vehicle can carry out tasks ranging from soil preparation to sowing without a driver. Thanks to various safety systems, the TraXwise platform, and RTK-GPS signal, the AgBot can carry out pre-planned tasks completely independently. Delivery and commissioning of the AgBot T2-7 were carried out by LMB Rovadi.

The AgXeed AgBot T2 7-Series is an autonomous agricultural vehicle developed for heavy-duty field work in arable farming. The machine is designed to autonomously take over most of the work performed by a conventional tractor, with a focus on soil protection, efficiency, and reduced reliance on labour.
