This year’s new Tractor of the Year (TOTY) award was the first to include the TOTYBot category, which pits cabless autonomous tractors and field robots against one another.
The AgBot 5.115T2 managed to see off three rivals in its category. According to the judges’ verdict, the jury’s decision was guided by the combination of cutting-edge automation, practical integration with existing farming systems, and overall superior field performance.
It added, the AgBot 5.115T2 can handle a wide range of implements without the need for modifications, making it a versatile choice for farmers looking to optimise their operations with minimal changes. This compatibility with conventional agricultural tools, combined with its autonomous capabilities, makes it a highly attractive option for farms looking to adopt robotic technology.’
The judges were also impressed by the operational reliability and soil-friendly capabilities of the AgBot 5.115.T2: ‘While fully electric tractors are gaining popularity, the AgBot’s diesel system currently offers greater efficiency and extended operational time, capable of working for up to 20 hours. Thanks to the 900 mm rubber tracks, the ground pressure is less than 0.25 kg/cm², making a valuable contribution to soil protection and reducing the environmental impact.’
Machines already in use around the world
The judges also found its series-production readiness impressive. Customers in Europe, North America and Australia have already integrated the machine into everyday operations to relieve the burden on drivers. The judges’ verdict concluded with: ‘The AgBot 5.115T2 represents the pinnacle of agricultural robotics for 2025, with its robust design, ability to enhance farming efficiency, and commitment to sustainability. It is not just a concept or a prototype; it’s a machine that is already proving its value in the field. The jury’s decision reflects the tractor’s unparalleled combination of power, precision, and autonomy, marking it as the future of agricultural technology’.
