Sabanto Adds Autonomous Planting Support for Row-Crop Planters equipped with a Precision Planting Gen 3 20|20 System ↗

Sabanto announced that its Vehicle Operating System will support planters equipped with the Precision Planting Gen 3 20|20 for spring 2027. The tractor can plant without an operator in the seat. The 20|20 continues to run seeding, rate control, prescriptions, and as-planted recording. If a row falls outside grower-set tolerances, the system can react and notify the operator. Craig Rupp, Founder and CEO, said growers told the firm that trusting the planter without someone watching it was the hard part of planting.
