It is designed for precise spraying of liquid products, surface, roof and agricultural treatments and more, offering new spraying solutions for various applications. The Hercules 20 Spray, with its flat nozzles at an angle of 110°, sprays 0.8 gallons (3 liters) of product per minute and can manage up to 4.5 acres (1.8 hectares) in 10 minutes (when using 0.26 gallons (1L) per minute) A Glimpse at Future Power Options for Farm Machinery Motivo, a California-based ag tech company, is developing a multi-purpose shareable mobile power delivery system for agriculture. Consisting of a power module integrated with a small tractor, Motivo's HARVEST system provides mobility, rotary power, and electrical power from a single zero-emission platform. Based on a patent-pending power electronics architecture developed by Motivo, HARVEST collects power from solar panels, wind turbines, or intermittent electrical grids, stores that power in an on-board battery, then delivers it on-demand. HARVEST can be rented, tracked, and updated via cell network, with all user interaction handled via text messaging. One HARVEST unit can plow a field, power a home, take goods to market, and pump water, all in the same day. Users can easily attach rotary power implements or plug in electric power tools for additional functionality. The power modules can be tied together to form a micro-grid with scaled up output capability. • HEAVY-DUTY DRONE • THE HARVEST TRACTOR
