I find this machine interesting but I just have a hard time seeing it becoming much of a player in the game, I would think to get into one of those, the price to switch over would be horrendous. It would have more of a fit in large open areas I would think. I always like to see change, will be interesting to see where this goes.
The biggest problem I can think of is how it claims to replace a full line of equipment, I know on my small farm many times we have two or three different operations happening at the same time, with this machine you’re committed to one job only, unless you have more than one, which then the gains of only needing one machine to do everything are gone.

It looks very complex, I seriously wonder how much downtime they will have.
I heard isobus on the one video, that is the network that all the computer modules talk to each other on. My experiences with canbus started in our 2010 Town & Country van, it has a canbus pair going to every door, when a wire breaks or shorts the whole network is compromised and the van "loses its mind". It is a real treat to fix.
I worked with isobus etc in industry and it can be a pain there as well, but in a mobile application with module changes and exposure to the elements and vibration I can't imagine it will be reliable.
BUT it would be easy to have diagnostics on those big fancy monitors that should allow you to troubleshoot things without having to call the kids with laptops to try to figure out why your one and only huge expensive machine is not working, or at least be able to network with them without the physical travel required.
I would think it will be like a Fendt combine where a little sensor will have you kicking rocks for an indeterminate time until it can be identified, stocked, and replaced. The fancy moving cab looks cool until the wiring harness starts to fail from being bent every which way, could be a wild ride during the failure phase.
I must be getting old, but this looks more like a fancy toy to impress everyone on Youtube rather than a viable option for most farms, wonder what the price tag is?
