Bobcat Company Announces Investment in Agtonomy

Bobcat Company announced today a strategic investment in Agtonomy, a Silicon Valley-based, ag tech software company that helps agriculture and land maintenance operators optimize operations through sustainable, innovative solutions.

Bobcat’s equity investment is part of a broader strategic partnership with Agtonomy formed earlier this year to create new and innovative ways to enhance Bobcat equipment for increased productivity and performance.

Agtonomy’s technology allows farmers to remotely execute labor-intensive field tasks, such as weeding, spraying, mowing and transporting with more precision. The solution allows farming operations to automate workloads, increase labor efficiency and provides farmers with greater control over the economics of their operations.

This investment follows a February 2023 partnership Bobcat announced with Agtonomy to "advance productivity in the agriculture industry through collaboration in the areas of electrification, autonomous operation and digital technology."

Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
