Back in October, we asked our readers to give us examples of how they would put one of Tesla’s new Optimus robots to work around the farm. The responses – at least the ones that are suitable to print – certainly did not disappoint.
Here’s a handful of quotes from AgWeb.com readers:
“I need two of them to help me out here in the maintenance building. For the past 17 years it has been a one-man shop, which is a challenge when there is no one to hold the other end, but I managed. I am getting older now and would be willing to train my replacements on how to build, operate, maintain, and repair agricultural equipment…”
“Walking Beans”
“My list would be long and sweaty. But I would need an educated “bot”. One with lots of letters behind his/her name....like PhD....for Post Hole Digger!”
“Spot spraying weeds.”
“Check grain bins, pick up rocks, clean fence lines, mow the lawn, help shovel and sweep bins out, help clean equipment up spring and fall, you name it him and me would be busy.”
