Auctionguyyy Junior Member Messages 135 Nov 20, 2011 #3 I have been thinking along these lines for several years, and Fendt won an award at Agritechnica for it. http://blog.agcocorp.com/2011/11/fendt-one-gold-medal-two-silver-medals-at-agritechnica-2011/ One tractor is operated normally, a second (third, fourth) follows autonomously.
