I can see that you just don't get it. You'll notice there is no cab with all the trimmings so that is a lot less cost and less weight. My time on other jobs is more valuable than a $10.00 per hour jockey.
I can see that you don't run alot of rough ground. There is no way in hell that I can send that machine into some of our farms. Sure you can map boundaries, waterways, wet holes, etc. but theres is no way that it knows if the tool hit a rock and is now damaged, or that the washout in front of it is too deep to cross. Therefore you will also need alot more sophisticated implements to pull behind one of these that can be monitored for breakage. So between the cost of the machine and of the implements there is no way that some farms can justify it. Oh, and do please tell me of these other more valuable jobs that you would like to spend more time on.....
I can see it working on flat, square fields and that is it.
