S1000 vs R150
Two spraying machines, one verified table. Every figure below is sourced and dated; vendor claims are labelled and kept apart from independent results.
Chinese tracked orchard sprayer from Jiangsu Lanjiang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (LJ Tech, Nanjing) — 1,000 L tank, diesel-electric hybrid drive, and a multi-sensor (RTK + LiDAR + millimetre-wave radar + machine vision) navigation stack with switchable remote-control or full-autonomous operation. Sold FOB China from China (from roughly US$60,000 on the manufacturer's own B2B storefront); no EU dealer, machine-specific CE declaration, or named European installation was found, despite manufacturer marketing content referencing Spanish, French, Italian, Polish and Austrian orchards.
Best for: Large orchard or vineyard operators able to import directly from China and self-manage logistics, customs, and any EU compliance paperwork themselves.Modular electric unmanned ground vehicle from XAG (Guangzhou, China) built around one chassis that swaps between three payloads — RevoSpray Ground 2 (150 L tank, 12 m spray width) for orchard/vineyard spraying, RevoMower 2.0 for cutting shrubs and reeds, and a 200 kg-capacity material-transport module — navigated by dual-antenna RTK plus stereo-vision/4D-radar obstacle sensing. Publicly sold since June 2021 (launched first in Japan) and still listed with full specs on XAG's own site, but it is XAG's 2022-generation rover — the company unveiled a separate, newer "R Series" (R100/R200) at Agritechnica 2025 as its current smart-farm rover line, and reseller stock fluctuates — buyers should confirm live availability directly with XAG or a dealer rather than assume stock.
Best for: Specialty-crop growers (orchards, vineyards) in a market with an active XAG distributor who want one chassis that swaps between spraying, mowing and material-transport payloads instead of buying separate dedicated machines.| S1000 Verified 2026-07-19 | R150 Verified 2026-07-19 | |

| Price (EUR) | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| Native price | US$60,000-90,000 (FOB China, manufacturer B2B storefront; MOQ 2 units) | Not disclosed |
| Business model | Direct export sale via the manufacturer (Jiangsu Lanjiang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., Nanjing, China) and its B2B storefronts; FOB pricing with a minimum order of 2 units and a roughly 30-day lead time. No EU-based dealer or sales entity was found. | Equipment purchase, direct or through XAG's distributor network (xa.com/en/about/agent). XAG does not publish a price on its own product pages. One US reseller (Ripping It Outdoors) lists the R150 sprayer configuration at about $32,000 — a single non-manufacturer, non-EU data point, not a verified current or EU price. |
| Ongoing cost | Not disclosed — no published consumable or running-cost figures (diesel, battery replacement, nozzle wear) were found beyond the manufacturer's 1-year local spare-parts commitment. | Not disclosed — no published consumable/battery-replacement costs found |

| CE marking | Manufacturer's B2B trade listing (made-in-china.com storefront) states the company is "certified by 3C, CE, and ISO quality management system" — a general company-level claim, not a machine-specific CE declaration or document; not independently confirmed. | Not disclosed — no CE-marking evidence found on manufacturer or dealer materials |
| Machinery Regulation | No evidence of EU placing-on-market found; would fall under Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 autonomous-machine provisions if the machine were sold into the EU. | Not confirmed; would fall under Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 autonomous-machine provisions if placed on the EU market |
| CAP subsidy | Not addressed — China-export machine with plant-protection application only; no CAP eco-scheme linkage found. | Not directly tied to CAP eco-schemes; precision spraying could support national input-reduction eco-scheme measures where available |
