First everyday Exos fresh-grass harvest on a German farm ↗
A German dairy using Exos since September described autonomous mowing, transport, and feeding on about 28 hectares of grassland next to the yard.
Product news · Jan 1, 2026
Lely Exos in use on 25 farms ↗
Lely said Exos mows and feeds fresh grass autonomously and was in use on 25 farms, five years after the concept was introduced.
Product news · Jun 6, 2023
Lely Exos available from 2024 ↗
Exos, a system for fully autonomous harvesting and feeding of fresh grass, became commercially available from mid-2024. It was tested on 13 Dutch farms and was first sold in the Netherlands.
Lely Exos is an autonomous fresh-grass machine from Lely in Maassluis, Netherlands. It cuts grass, harvests it, and fertilises fields at the same time. Once loaded, it transports the grass to the barn and feeds the cows. It does this completely autonomously, during day and night.
Navigation and safety. Outdoor navigation uses GPS. Stereo cameras detect obstacles. Ultrasonic sensors support navigation in the field, at the farm, and in the barn. Driving speed is limited to 4.5 km/h. Exos can only drive on private terrain and is not allowed to cross public roads by itself.
Fertiliser. A 200-litre liquid fertiliser tank applies product in the same pass as mowing. Weighing and dosing are integrated. The tank can use conventional liquid fertilisers or circular fertiliser from Lely Sphere N-capture.
Availability. Exos became commercially available from mid-2024, initially in the Netherlands, after testing on 13 Dutch farms. In January 2026 Lely said the machine was in use on 25 farms. A May 2026 German farm story describes use on about 28 hectares of grassland next to the yard.
