Ravensdown’s HawkEye Pro Wins Technology Award at Southern Field Days
Ravensdown's next evolution in smart farming technology, HawkEye Pro, was awarded the Technology Section Award at the Southern Field Days Farm Innovation Awards in February 2026.
The trial was held on 16-17 December 2025 in the Uckermark region in North-Eastern Germany – a month after the machine’s launch at Agritechnica. It included challenging field shapes, obstacles and hilly terrain, across loamy, sandy soil.
Featuring a 230hp diesel-electric drivetrain, the AgBot T2-7 Series maintained working speeds between 9 and 12kph, with power to the ground via a track system that achieved grip, but also offered very low ground pressure, helping to protect soil structure and safeguard future yields.
The machine was designed to directly compete with a standard tractor for key field applications including soil cultivation, seedbed preparation, seeding, stubble cultivation, or mulching fully autonomously. The trial combined it with a 6 metre Väderstad Carrier XL 625 and the ability to work consistently 24 hours a day, ensuring maximum effectiveness and efficiency when time windows are tight.
Planning and control are achieved via the AgXeed TraXwise planning portal, allowing farmers to pre-plan the complete task in advance and monitor the AgBot in real time, from job commencement to completion.
