Arachnid-inspired Agriculture

Imagined for Valtra’s 2018 Design Challenge, the Scorpion tractor looks to the predatory arachnid of the same name for inspiration. Like the animal’s eight legs, the all-terrain design features a symmetrical spread of arms that extend to all sides. Here, a series of modular components can be installed to perform a variety of tasks including cultivation, seeding, fertilization, or weeding. Inside, a modern mix of tech like intuitive touchscreen controls and GPS make it easy and safe for the operator.
