Based in Northern Italy, Black Shire has worked on its tracked robot since 2020. It’s powered by a four-cylinder, turbocharged Kubota engine, producing 74hp and 265Nm of torque. This feeds into two in-house electric motors, providing a continuous tractive power of 45kW and peaking at 75kW and a maximum operating speed of 12kph.
The electronically controlled rear three-point linkage has a capacity of 3,600kg, while up to 60 litres/min is provided through digital proportional valves. No PTO is fitted, instead, the RC 3075 electrically powers the implement, with 53.9kW always available.
It is fully Isobus compatible and has remote display monitoring through the remote-control system. Dedicated servers handle data that is sent to the cloud and Black Shire has also developed a smartphone application for monitoring the task.
It’s currently designed to work with an operator in the vicinity, with the remote control required to restart work when an obstacle is detected. Radar systems are mounted at the front and rear, along with bumpers and audible and visual warning signals.
When working in difficult conditions, or where a GPS signal may not be available, the machine can also be operated manually using the remote control.
The RC 3075 is a compact unit, with track widths of 1.35m or 1.75m depending on the setup. As it’s tracked, it has a tight turning circle of just 1m and a maximum operating weight of 7,200kg.
