Brief

AgXeed's autonomous tractor is presented as a fully driverless, tracked machine (tweeted 2026-01-27) that uses a diesel engine to run a generator powering electric drive motors and can run 24 hours on a tank. It supports standard implements (electric PTO, hydraulic pump), has 8‑ton rear/3‑ton front lift, and relies on LiDAR, ultrasonic, radar, contact bumpers and RTK GNSS (2.5 cm) with bidirectional data/RTK correction for navigation and safety.

Why it matters

AgXeed's fully autonomous tractor (tweeted by @lukas_m_ziegler on 2026-01-27) is claimed to operate on fields without any human supervision.

Key details

  • Propulsion: a diesel engine drives a generator that powers electric motors on a tracked drive; the fuel tank allows for 24 hours of continuous operation.
  • Implements and sensors: rear hitch 8‑ton lift and front 3‑ton lift, electric PTO and hydraulic pump compatible with standard implements; safety/navigation via rooftop LiDAR, ultrasonic and radar sensors, contact-sensitive bumpers, and RTK GNSS with 2.5 cm accuracy plus a bidirectional data/RTK correction module.

Autonomous tractor from Netherlands! 🇳🇱

This is a fully autonomous tractor from Dutch company AgXeed, designed to work on fields without any human supervision.

It's powered by a diesel engine that drives a generator, which then powers electric motors driving the tracks. The fuel tank allows for 24 hours of continuous operation. (nice!)

The rear hitch has an 8-ton lift capacity, the front has 3 tons. It's equipped with electric PTO, hydraulic pump, and all the connections you'd find on a traditional tractor, meaning you can attach standard farm implements.

Safety and navigation are handled by a LiDAR sensor on top, ultrasonic and radar sensors, and contact-sensitive bumpers. RTK GNSS receiver provides positioning accuracy down to 2.5 cm, with a module for bidirectional data transmission and RTK correction.

Love seeing that so many companies are trying to make farmer's life easier! 🚜
