Agri Robo MR1000A

Kubota · Japan

Kubota's 100 hp unmanned Agri Robo tractor — a production autonomous machine sold to Japanese farmers, supervised from a tablet, with sonar, laser scanners and cameras for obstacle detection. Japan-only; the EU-facing Agri Robo KVT remains a show preview, not a listed product.

Available in: Japan

At a glance

Best for

Japanese rice and field-crop operations short of drivers that want a dealer-backed autonomous tractor from a major maker.

Avoid if

You farm outside Japan — Kubota does not sell the autonomous MR1000A in Europe or North America.

Not suitable for

EU buyers; vineyards/orchards with narrow rows; small plots where a 100 hp tractor is oversized.
