YV01 autonomous vineyard sprayer

Crawler-tracked autonomous spraying robot for steep, narrow vineyards — inverted-U frame straddles vines up to 1.4 m, 200 L electrostatic spray tank, 45% slope capability. Developed by Yanmar, on sale in France since 2023 through dedicated subsidiary Yanmar Vineyard Solutions (Champagne region focus, Moët & Chandon partnership); a weeder attachment was added in 2024.

Available in: France

At a glance

Best for

Steep Champagne-style narrow vineyards that want to take the operator out of plant-protection spraying — no driver exposure to chemicals, slopes to 45%.

Avoid if

You need one machine for soil work, mowing and spraying — YV01 is spray-first (weeder attachment is recent); or you farm outside France, the only market where it is sold and serviced.

Not suitable for

Arable crops, orchards, barns; wide-row or trellis systems taller than 1.4 m; regions without Yanmar Vineyard Solutions service coverage.
