The first truly autonomous tractor.

On the afternoon of October 26, 2016, the 2016 China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition's new implement operation demonstration event kicked off with YTO Group's release of the first truly unmanned tractor, causing a sensation in the industry. YTO Group's first unmanned tractor The product released by YTO Group this time is the Changjian LF954-C, equipped with a National III engine, power shuttle transmission, electronically controlled suspension system, and a series of information and control systems. During the demonstration event, the Changjian LF954-C tractor, equipped with a Changjian 1LF-430 hydraulic reversible plow, conducted an on-site operation demonstration. In recent years, in order to save users' time, improve operational efficiency, increase operational income, and enhance the utilization efficiency of agricultural machinery, YTO Group has been committed to applying artificial intelligence in the tractor field. The unmanned tractor released by YTO Group this time is equipped with information and control systems including: automatic steering system, vehicle control system, radar and visual measurement system, remote video transmission system, monitoring system, and remote control system, etc. The Changjian LF954-C tractor is conducting an operation demonstration Among them, the automatic steering system realizes automatic steering of the vehicle within a specified area; the vehicle control system realizes automatic control of engine speed, vehicle direction, braking, and electronically controlled suspension; the radar and visual measurement system realizes the identification and measurement of geographical environment information; the remote video transmission system can send the image signals collected by the onboard camera to the terminal through the operator's network for display; the monitoring display system is used to display vehicle working information and set the vehicle working mode; the remote control system can realize remote operation of the vehicle. It is precisely through these information and control systems that this tractor has achieved functions such as automatic path planning and navigation within a specified area, automatic reversing, automatic braking, automatic control of engine speed, automatic control of agricultural implements, active obstacle avoidance, and remote control. The Changjian LF954-C tractor applies advanced technologies such as millimeter-wave radar measurement and binocular camera visual recognition, combined with BeiDou high-precision positioning technology, and can be suitable for unmanned driving in farmland plowing, land preparation, and plant protection purposes. The Changjian 1LF-430 hydraulic reversible plow is made of high-quality materials, with good rigidity and light weight; it has a two-way hydraulic reversing function, saving time and fuel, and is highly efficient and economical; it has a three-position adjustable width function, and different plowing widths can be selected according to the soil specific resistance; it is equipped with a depth-limiting wheel to meet different plowing depth requirements; it adopts a spiral moldboard surface for turning soil, with good coverage effect, and the ground surface after plowing is flat without leaving furrows. Behind the product's "halo" is YTO Group's long-term efforts to maintain technological leadership. YTO Group has a national-level enterprise technology center, China's most advanced tractor pilot test base, the State Key Laboratory of Tractor Power Systems, and the National Tractor Quality Supervision and Inspection Center. It is understood that as China's first tractor manufacturing enterprise, YTO Group currently has the most complete tractor series product manufacturing capacity in China, with a power range covering 17 to 400 horsepower, forming four product technology platforms including meshing sleeve, synchronizer, power shuttle, and power shift, and has begun to promote the commercialization of continuously variable transmission tractors. During the 2016 China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition, at YTO Group's booth, power shift and power shuttle series tractors, equipped with a series of agricultural implements and a series of harvesters, comprehensively demonstrated YTO Group's complete equipment solutions for full-process mechanization of wheat and full-process mechanization of corn.
