SOLAR TRAKTOR© AGRO

The zero emission, multipurpose platform for harvesting, sowing, watering, cultivating, fertilising and more [except plowing!] with an up to 70% lower TCO.  As an open hardware construction kit it is based on our basic platform. No more expensive maintenance – you have the RIGHT TO REPAIR every component by yourself!Currently being tested in different countries and with different modules/buildups for local specific applications. 100% solar powered and independent of big commercial providers and other “gatekeepers”.

 

The updated Solar Traktor platform (2018-) was inspired by:
.) open source hardware projects, like Open Source Ecology
.) IoT for agriculture, like Yuktix  
.) since 2019, Solar Traktor is also working on an open source IoT hardware, the “Open FarmBox”© (think of “FarmOS meets ISOblue“). It is an additional device which is 100% compatible with the onboard controller box (“blue box”) and monitors soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity. 

Keep your own data private PLUS get the best know-how/best practice from connected worldwide farming community. 
.) Sustainable farming projects like “Made with Rural”

 

The Solar Traktor© platform uses the sun as the only source of energy for the whole year. Every time it is not on duty, it can be plugged to the grid, used as a power generator, as a water pump etc.

 

– Reduced soil compaction because of lightweight construction (< 400 kg), a wide surface and a special lightweight profile
– Low total cost of ownership
– Ideal working conditions for agricultural workers
– No CO2 / GHG emission
– No hazard to the soil by oil and diesel
– A wide range of application with fewer idle times

 

 

In addition to the adjustability of height and gauge of the working plattform, the Solar Traktor© can cover about 70 percent of all small tractor applications with only three basic modules. Different equipment can easily be connectd to a standardized hitch.

Outstanding economy
Conventional tractors got a high TCO (basic price, insurance, diesel, repairs, etc). With Solar Traktor© you are collecting enough energy to drive a whole day  – even on cloudy days. Also you get a Return on Investment within less than two years – compared to a small ICE/diesel tractor from a big company.
