FarmDroid FD60

An automatic field robot that seeds and mechanically weeds row crops on its own. It uses the same RTK GPS approach with 8 mm GPS precision as the FarmDroid FD20, scaled up for around 60 hectares per crop per season. It runs on solar power with a Range Extender generator.

FD60 has a wider, up to 6.75 metres working width, and up to 20 rows in one pass. It is roughly three times the seasonal capacity compared to our FD20 robot. It seeds with a new version of +Seed 14 mm seeding system, and it weeds mechanically without the +Spray micro-spraying option.

Organic onion and beet, maize, green beans, endives, chicory, spinach all fit the FD60 very well. All crops that can be seeded with +Seed 14 mm seeding system is compatible with FD60. Contact us for your specific crop.

No. The FD60 weeds mechanically only. If you need to micro-spray, FD20 is a better option for you as you can choose the +Spray as an add-on.

Yes. Solar charges the battery and the battery runs the robot, the same as your FD20. The FD60 adds the Range Extender, a generator, that tops up the battery when the sun can’t keep up, so a run of cloudy days doesn’t slow down a robot covering three times the ground. The Range Extender only charges the battery. It never drives the robot, and it is not the primary power source.

You follow the battery level in the FarmDroid app and refuel the tank with petrol when it suits you, so a top-up fits your day rather than interrupting it.

RTK GPS records exactly where each seed was placed at seeding time. The robot returns to that same coordinate to weed mechanically, so it needs no crop-recognition camera or vision system.

FD60 is built for around 60 hectares per season, and up to 18 ha per day. That said, FD60 can in certain cases be used for 90-100 ha as well. For example, if you grow some crops in spring, and some in summer or autumn. Contact us to know more.

It depends on how many rows you need. Configure your own robot using FarmDroid configurator, or get a quote from your local partner directly.

Orders are open now, and delivery starts from January 2027.

FD60 will be showcased at Agromek in Denmark, on 24-27 November 2026. See other upcoming events on our Event page.

It depends on field size and crop mix. The FD60 suits larger, more standardised layouts; the FD20 stays the fit for smaller fields, fine seeds, or micro-spraying with +Spray. See our comparison table above or contact us to talk yours through.

Most autonomous machines do one job. Many only weed, some only spray, and several are implements that still need a tractor, and a driver on every pass. FarmDroid is a complete robot that seeds and weeds on its own, and it weeds the exact rows it sowed. Instead of cameras that can struggle in dust, low light, or heavy weeds, it remembers every seed’s position by RTK GPS and returns to the same spot to weed. It runs solar-first, with an integrated Range Extender, so it keeps working through cloudy stretches and long working days. More than 500 FarmDroid robots have worked across 26 countries since 2018.
