The Challenge

A changing agricultural landscape

Across Europe, vegetable and row crop producers face a dual challenge: an increasing shortage of skilled labour and rising operational costs. Manual tasks such as seeding and weeding are labour-intensive and time sensitive, while environmental regulations and soil health concerns demand lighter machinery and more precise operations.

Farmers growing high value crops like lettuce, onions, carrots, and cabbage are particularly affected. They require reliable, consistent performance to stay profitable, yet must also adapt to new demands for traceability, reduced soil compaction, and sustainability.

Solution

A smarter, more efficient way to work

At Agritechnica 2025, Kubota showcases the ROBOTTI, an advanced, diesel powered autonomous field robot built to perform essential, repetitive farm tasks with exceptional precision. Designed to meet the growing need for labour efficiency and sustainable production, ROBOTTI combines Kubota’s trusted engineering with cutting edge automation and digital control.

ROBOTTI made for Kubota

The ROBOTTI is an autonomous, multi-purpose tool carrier designed for continuous operation, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Powered by a 72 hp Kubota diesel engine (EU Stage V), it delivers dependable performance while maintaining low fuel consumption and minimal soil impact.

Equipped with 4WD and traction control, load-sensing hydraulics, and a Category II three-point hitch, ROBOTTI can perform a wide range of field operations, from seeding and weeding to spraying and UV-light applications.

ROBOTTI’s concept is simple, it acts as a qualified worker in the field, performing uniform and repetitive tasks with unmatched precision, consistency, and reliability all while freeing operators from routine work.

Benefits

What are the benefits?

- Labour savings – Performs field work autonomously, reducing dependency on seasonal labour.
- Higher precision – Delivers repeatable, uniform quality with minimal human error.
- Lower fuel use – Consumes only 3–6 litres per hour, reducing operating costs.
- Reduced soil compaction – Weighing just 2,850 kg, it protects soil structure and long-term fertility.
- 24/7 operation – Works continuously, day and night, in varied field conditions.
- Fast return on investment – Typical ROI of 3–5 years for vegetable farms operating 100 hectares.
