Why the XAG R Series Rover Outperforms Traditional Equipment in Specialty Crop Automation
Electric rovers designed for orchards, vineyards, and greenhouses deliver precise spraying, autonomous navigation, and efficient operation where conventional machinery struggles to perform.

Advanced Automation for Orchards, Vineyards, and Greenhouses
Specialty crop environments demand precise, consistent, and low-impact field operations, yet traditional machinery is often too large, inefficient, or costly to run in dense or uneven terrain. The XAG R Series Rover addresses these constraints with an electric, high-accuracy spraying and navigation platform specifically engineered for fruit orchards, vineyards, and greenhouse crops.
Differentiated Design for High-Value Crop Management
Unlike conventional sprayers or retrofitted utility vehicles, the R Series is built from the ground up for narrow rows and sensitive planting zones. Its compact 80-centimeter width, all-aluminum chassis, and suspended portal axle maintain stable traction on uneven ground while minimizing soil compaction. This design advantage enables consistent performance where most competitors struggle, especially in dense greenhouses or hilly orchards.
Two models adapt to differing crop geometries. The R100 suits tightly planted greenhouse vegetables with a 120-liter tank and dual JetSprayers, while the R200 is optimized for wider orchard rows with a 240-liter tank, six-wheel drive, and four JetSprayers. Both deliver fine 60–200-micron droplets through centrifugal spraying technology, ensuring uniform coverage with reduced drift and chemical waste — a key productivity differentiator for high-value crops.

Precision Spraying and Autonomous Operation
The rover’s JetSprayer system achieves up to seven meters of horizontal spray reach per side, allowing fewer passes and faster task completion. Its intelligent operating suite — Cruise Mode, Path Tracking, Repeat Mode, and real-time AI safety monitoring — elevates automation from simple remote control to centimeter-level autonomous execution.
The RealTerra onboard mapping system generates field-scale imagery during the initial pass, supporting accurate route planning and consistent repeatability. Through the SRC 5 Smart Remote Controller, operators remain safely outside the application zone while maintaining full oversight using touchscreen navigation, dual joysticks, and FPV monitoring.

Lower Labor Dependence and Higher Operational Efficiency
With specialty crop farms facing rising labor costs and workforce shortages, the R Series transforms repetitive work into efficient, automated processes. Each rover delivers full-load spraying cycles suited to its environment — 30 minutes for the R100 and 15 minutes for the R200 — and both can be extended or repurposed through an expandable platform for tasks such as weeding or material transport.
A Flexible Platform for the Future of Smart Farming
Designed to reduce labor intensity, improve spray precision, and navigate complex crop structures better than conventional machinery, the XAG R Series Rover positions itself as a differentiated, field-ready solution for farmers adopting smart-farm automation. Its electric powertrain, autonomous mapping, and compact engineering make it an adaptable co-pilot for consistently high-value crop production.
