It also serves as a 3-in-1 electrification tool, operating as a tractor or an ATV during operation, as well as the capabilities to act as a powerful generator in the field.

Deep Learning & Sensing Suite –The Monarch Tractor collects and analyzes crop data every day it operates in the field. It can work with farmers’ current implements as well as the next generation of smart implements. Sensors and imaging are processed to provide critical data points that can be used for real-time implement adjustments as well as long term yield estimates, current growth stages and other plant/crop health metrics. Utilizing machine learning, Monarch Tractor is able to digest this data and provide long-term analysis of field health, improving accuracy the longer it runs. Additionally, the data collected is securely stored in a Monarch cloud.
