Autonomous farm machines you can buy in New Zealand

New Zealand-engineered autonomous spraying vehicle for orchards and vineyards, built by Robotics Plus (Tauranga, NZ) and sold/supported today through Yamaha Agriculture, formed when Yamaha Motor completed its acquisition of Robotics Plus in 2025. A hybrid diesel-electric drivetrain (Tier 4 generator + battery pack + independent wheel motors) drives RTK-GPS-guided autonomous spraying with quick-swap Q Series (foliar) and H Series (under-canopy herbicide) sprayers. Commercially deployed in the US, Australia and New Zealand; a published case study (Treasury Wine Estates, NZ) shows two units covering 300 ha of vineyard across eight 15-hour operating days.

New Zealand-built (Blenheim, Marlborough) fully autonomous, multi-tasking tracked tractor for vineyards and orchards — one machine combines mowing, mulching, trimming, defoliation, desuckering, skirting and weed/canopy spraying (towing 4,000+ L of spray product) in a single row pass, planned and monitored remotely by one operator via tablet, who can oversee multiple units at once. Now in its fourth generation, with roughly 19-21 machines built and in commercial service across two regions of New Zealand as of the most recent public figures (2023-2025 press). International reach is still early — the first export unit is running an ongoing Australian vineyard trial (Duxton Vineyards, Sunraysia, since Feb 2024; almond/citrus orchard use has also been reported separately), and Pellenc America became the US distribution/service/support partner after 2024 demonstrations — but no EU presence, CE marking, or public pricing were found.

American autonomous collaborative carrier — follows pickers or runs fixed A-to-B routes hauling harvest totes and materials; 550+ robots sold and ~300,000 autonomous hours across the US, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Israel and Latin America.
