Developments to agricultural machinery span the millennia, from
the first tools of man to the beasts of modern farm equipment. And
quite beastly these are now! See the wonderful example of a
super-sized John Deere below, which, despite its large size,
amazingly is still small compared to the "Big Bud"!
With the growth of such machinery, new challenges arise, such as
new requirements for access routes, changes to the supply or
service machinery, and opportunities for larger and wider soil
interface machines, such as ploughs and drills. These changes thus
allow each new piece of equipment to generate a wide range of
opportunities across a broad spectrum of businesses.
However, making equipment larger is not the only route forwards.
Many manufacturers are also working on smaller or more precise
equipment: particularly self driving machines, intelligent spraying
equipment for improved pesticide economy, or automated harvesting
equipment, and even electric or methane
