News from the Kirkland team:

“We are extremely excited for this year’s National Fruit Show. Every year we try to make our stand different and this year we are focusing on the future of farming.

With labour shortages being a battle in the UK, we are pleased to announce we will be showcasing the UK’s first Driverless Sprayer at The National Fruit Show.

Using cutting edge technology, this driverless sprayer can save you up to 80% on labour costs and a 1/3 saving on fuel when compared to a tractor.

The sprayer mounted on the AgBot can be equipped with innovative technologies like wind control, variable rate application and chlorophyll sensors detecting foliage for optimal coverage.
These sensors are also used to determine and record tree shapes and heights and calculate growing power of for instance apple and pear trees.

The wheelbase is 2.5 m and thanks to the wide steering angle of the front wheel, 6m free space is sufficient to turn on headlands. You can also attach it to a mower, mulcher or weeder and watch it do the work!
See it for the first time at this year’s National Fruit Show. Have a chat with a member from the Kirkland team for more information. Orders can still be taken this year for delivery next year!”
