FAQ
Information to evaluate a demonstration
The current stage prioritizes field-need oriented tests.
Are the implements already available for purchase?
No. Mower and sprayer are prototypes under validation. Other modules remain in development.
What is the mowing width of the mower implement?
The current configuration has a cutting width of 1.25 m and adjustable cutting height. The adjustment range will still be documented.
Where could the sprayer be used?
The project considers crops grown on espaldeira (gallows) and latada. Coverage, flow, pressure, and nozzle selection depend on agronomic validation.
Is it possible to propose a new implement?
Yes. Test areas and institutions may present priority tasks for technical analysis and possible inclusion in the roadmap.
How to request a demonstration?
Submit via the contact form the crop type, task, terrain conditions, and area location. The team will assess alignment with the current stage.
