20. Using Autonomous Tractors on the Farm with Matt Krueger


Listen Later

We talk with Matt Krueger about his field-level view of autonomous tillage with a 9R series John Deere tractor, from kit installation to dust-driven safety stops, and how better boundaries and AutoPath boost both uptime and data quality. Matt's story centers on labor flexibility, real costs, and where autonomy should expand next.

In this special hour-long episode we talk:
• autonomy kit details, JDLink Boost connectivity, dual receivers
• autonomy-grade boundaries and safe offsets near obstacles
• dust sensitivity, camera logic, alerts and overrides
• AutoPath benefits for cleaner headlands and data integrity
• remote control of depth, pressure and implement settings
• ROI framed as uptime and labor flexibility, not replacement
• likely next targets for autonomy: sprayers and air seeders
• subscription pricing models and reliability trade-offs
• NDVI plus as applied maps to trace application misses
• skills and fallbacks when GPS degrades or sensors fail

With GK Technology, we have a map, and an app, for that!
