Next-Gen KFAST is here: Kubota's smarter, faster autonomous sprayer for specialty crops

Kubota presented the latest evolution of KFAST at Agritechnica 2025 – a fully autonomous sprayer designed to transform specialty crop farming. Created for orchards and plantations, KFAST combines precision spraying, intelligent navigation, and sustainable management to meet the growing needs of modern agriculture. Across Europe, specialty crop producers face increasing pressure from labor shortages, rising costs, and stricter environmental regulations. Spraying remains one of the most time-consuming operations, requiring precision, safety, and efficiency. Producers of citrus fruits, olives, nuts, and other high-value crops need solutions that reduce dependency on manual labor, minimize chemical use, and ensure consistent treatment of large and often fragmented areas. KFAST is designed to address these challenges directly. The autonomous sprayer provides reliable, high-precision work with minimal human intervention, allowing a single operator to manage multiple units ...
