The RC 3075 uses a diesel/electric driveline, which Black Shire says improves efficiency across the machine. The 75hp Kubota engine is directly coupled to the generator, which in turn powers the independent electric motors for each track unit.
The company says this enables the rated power of the unit to be used continuously, and power to be generated over the course of a working day. It also minimises downtime, as filling the diesel tank will be significantly quicker than charging a battery.
Real-time power management is also possible, adapting to the current load and slowing down the RC 3075 if the upper limit is reached.
It is a compact unit, measuring just 2,100mm high, 2,750mm long and 1,350mm wide. Linkages are integrated at the front and rear, along with hydraulic and electric connections, enabling standard implements to be hooked up.
Using RTK positioning, it can complete tasks autonomously based on pre-planned maps, as well as adjust its position on the head to enter each row in the most efficient way.
Routes can be adapted, considering pathways and obstacles within the field, while a vision system and safety bumpers enable the machine to react quickly to obstacles – including adjusting the speed before coming to a complete stop.
