Ive heard and watched some stuff on remote control tractors. My biggest question would be is it safer or less safe than having a human on the tractor. A human can pass out and the tractor isnt going to stop until its wheels turn and it runs into something or runs out of fuel. Ran remotely and out of control the wheels may stay straight and it will keep going, over roads and endangering others.
Im not against it if its safer overall. Cant trust the manufacturer to answer that one. Its interesting stuff. The cost may or may not be prohibitive, I dont know.
Look up the planters that apply fertilizer using GPS. Thats saving farmers big money. They go around a field doing soil samples first, put it all on GPS, and then the planter applies fertilizer according to the GPS location and fertilizer needs.
I'd call that one, one of the better techy things used in farming right now that will gain ground quickly as that planter can actually pay for itself in savings. Wish I knew the brands and such, its just stuff I hear talked about on farm radio new shows and is being used already.
