SOLAR TRAKTOR© AGRO

The zero emission, multipurpose platform for harvesting, sowing, watering, cultivating, fertilising and more with an up to 70% lower TCO.  As a open hardwarePrototypes based on our basic platform will be tested in different countries and with different modules/buildups for local specific applications.

The updated Solar Traktor platform was inspired by:
.) open source hardware, like Open Source Ecology
.) IoT for agriculture, like Yuktix  
.) since 2019, Solar Traktor is working on an open source IoT hardware as a side project, 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. 100% solar powered, secure and independent of big pharma or other “gatekeepers”. Keep your own data private PLUS get the best know-how/best practice from connected worldwide farming experts. 
.) 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.

The biggest advantages:
– 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 the track gauge + height of the working plattform, the Solar Traktor© can cover about 70 percent of all small tractor applications with only three basic modules. Different towing 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.
