RT-1000 Tractor

Download RT-1000 Specs

Smart, self-driven, and works year round. The RT-1000 is a fully autonomous workbot designed for commercial outdoor jobs. Just map the task, assign the robot to mow grass or clear snow and press go —works by itself, day or night, all year round.

The robotic tractor is run by an all-wheel hydraulic drive system, rain or shine, using an articulating frame powered by a standard air-cooled gasoline engine. The combined systems provides for great traction, stability and long runtime.

Backing the robot’s autonomous capability is our state-of-the-art Robot Operations Center (ROC) which provides all necessary planning, notification and remote control features required for instantaneous management of all phases of robotic operation.

Compact Yet Powerful

The RT-1000 is powered by a Vanguard 37HP EFI with Oil Guard and features an articulating frame and all-wheel drive for great traction, stability, and long runtime. The robot weighs about 1,250 pounds and is 93 inches long. The machine is compact enough to fit on a trailer used to transport a typical riding mower. It has a 12-gallon fuel tank so it can autonomously run longer with fewer fill-ups.

Precise Navigation

Operate with great confidence. The RT-1000 uses triple-band GNSS RTK technology to autonomously drive with centimeter-level accuracy. Cut grass with great precision, pick from a variety of mowing patterns, and reduce overlap on mowing paths. In winter, assign the snowbot to clear sidewalks before snow accumulates or is packed down by pedestrians.

Built-In Safety Features

Safety is a top priority. The RT-1000 uses best-in-class technology and sensors to detect (and avoid!) obstacles and people. Each workbot is equipped with lidar, radar, and six on-board cameras to stay aware and safe. In addition, the robot is equipped with bright LED running lights, safety bars, and emergency shut-off buttons.

Designed for Commercial Maintenance & Landscaping

The RT-1000 is built for professionals focused on commercial job sites, not small residential backyards. The RT-1000 performs best at repetitive jobs in open areas. RT-1000 robots perform jobs at college campuses, city parks, sod farms, golf courses, sports fields, sidewalks, bike paths, road medians and shoulders.
