With these colossus, trips to grandma in the village are not scary (15 photos)

Real monsters of agriculture that can surprise your dad.





Agricultural machinery is found in any developed farm and performs many important tasks, from watering to harvesting.









Naturally, as in any other area, technology is gradually acquiring additional functions: new models are being developed for specific tasks, and electronic components are also changing.

Today we will talk about the most interesting machines and concepts in the world of agriculture.



For example, for harvesting medicinal plants, a special unit with a collecting hopper is used. One of its tasks is to separate flowers from stems. But the machine can also process root crops and is able to remove them from the ground without causing damage. True, some fruits are still picked by hand, the old-fashioned way.



Camelid self-loading box trailer is a special trailer for a tractor; it is self-loading and does not require the presence of a loader. This became possible thanks to a system of hydraulic axles and drawbar. With their help, the main frame is raised for further transportation.

The largest trailer carries 6 built-in boxes, which are designed for collecting vegetables and fruits, but there are also other bodies for transporting livestock, tanks and wood.



But this is a concept of an electric tractor from Germany. SymonE will most likely not appear on the equipment market, and the STW developer company will continue to test various electrical attachments based on it. It is also used to demonstrate the company's latest technologies.

However, even the concept can surprise: the tractor is capable of operating autonomously for about five hours, after which it will need charging. But it's not that annoying, considering that it only lasts one hour.



Among the technology, there are also design variations, limited only by the imagination of handy mechanics. An example is the Triceratops tractor from London artist Alex Wright.

This tractor has been presented at many exhibitions and attracts a lot of onlookers, because it’s not every day that you see equipment straight from the Jurassic period.



There are even racing tractors converted for sports tracks. How do you like this monster with four engines, for example? Of course, you can’t plow a field on it, but Dominic Toretto himself wouldn’t mind driving such a supercar.



There is even a tractor that can work in water without any problems, namely the yellow rhinoceros, invented by Eli Agnides.



The car weighs 5 tons and looks like a submarine. There should be a joke about the work of The Beatles, but there won't be one.



There are also autonomous types of equipment, but some of them can only be seen on paper.



For example, Valtra H2O2 which is guided only by GPS data and does not assume the presence of a driver. A real techno monster created by designer Lorenzo Mariotti.



As planned, the tractor should run on electrical energy obtained using water fuel cells.



There are examples from mechanics that don't fit into any category at all, such as Dennis Tellin's tricycle with tractor tires, which he presented at the Farm Progress Show. Moreover, this is not just an interesting design, you can attach a mini-plow to the bicycle and send it to the fields at any time.

Usually the field of agricultural machinery seems boring, because it seems that what else can be invented in this area? However, every time you think about it, remember this article. It turns out that there is variety, and what a variety!
