    Tractor of the Year 2025: TotYBOT – FieldRobotics HammerHead

    A key feature of the FieldRobotics HammerHead tracked machine is the newly developed battery-change system. Using a trolley system, the 160kg, 23kWh, lithium-ion power unit can be changed by a single operator. Where only one battery is specified, this can be charged while still in the robot, with the standard 3kW slow charger offering an eight-hour charge time, while the 10kW system can work in as little as 2.5 hours.

    According to the company, when conducting low intensity operations such as data harvesting at 4kph, the battery will last up to eight hours. During trials with a Nobili mulcher in damp conditions, the autonomy dropped to five hours.

    Peak power is said to be 15.5kW at 3,000rpm, with continuous power to each track unit rated at 5.3kW. The rated torque levels at each track are 1,420Nm. It features no internal hydraulics, instead powering implements electrically, but comes with a 650kg three-point linkage and an electric 1,000rpm PTO.

    FieldRobotics highlights the data harvesting kit, with a laser scanner and cameras, which can be used to create a digital twin of the field for following precision farming operations.

    Data collection can include leaf density and fruit counting, with the aim of monitoring nutrient optimisation.

    A 64-layer Lidar system is fitted as standard to detect obstacles, as well as stereo cameras and an RTK GPS system.

    Notably, using the Lidar system the machine can work in row crops without GPS. Buzzers and on-board lights notify workers in the vicinity and a bumper system brings the machine to a standstill if it comes into contact with anything.
