It has been announced that Kirkland UK will be a UK dealer for the Deutz-Fahr specialist fruit tractor range and the VitiBot vineyard robots.
It follows the company taking on the Grégoire grape harvesters back in 2022.
Kirkland states that automation and autonomy will play a vital role in the future of UK agriculture, enabling businesses to overcome labour shortages, improve efficiency and reduce the environmental impact.
“We firmly believe autonomy is the future of UK farming. Labour availability, rising costs and the demand for sustainable production mean autonomous technology is needed. By adding Vitibot vineyard robots alongside the Deutz-Fahr specialist tractor range, we can offer growers a complete package of innovative solutions designed for modern specialist farming,” said Scott Worsley, managing director of Kirkland UK.
