Sabanto, a U.S.-based pioneer in agricultural autonomy, has announced its official expansion into the Australian market through exclusive partnerships with OneAg and Vantage NSW. The collaboration brings retrofit autonomy systems that enable existing tractors to operate fully autonomously — offering 24/7 productivity and eliminating the need for costly new machinery.
Local Expertise Drives Adoption of Autonomous Farming
Craig Rupp, CEO and Founder of Sabanto, emphasized that Australia’s forward-thinking agricultural sector makes it a natural fit for autonomy:
“Australia’s agricultural sector is highly innovative, and we’re eager to partner with local experts to deliver affordable autonomy to farmers,” Rupp said.
OneAg, a well-established precision ag dealer, will integrate Sabanto’s technology into its range of solutions. According to Michael Munro, Head of Autonomy at OneAg, this move signals a turning point in how farming operations will evolve:
“Autonomy represents one of the biggest shifts in how we’ll approach farming over the next decade,” Munro said. “Sabanto’s technology allows us to expand what’s possible for productivity.”
Smarter Farming With Existing Equipment
Vantage NSW, another leader in precision agriculture solutions, will offer Sabanto’s retrofit systems to help Australian farmers modernize their fleets. Michael Casey, Founder and Director of Vantage NSW, highlighted that farmers are looking for ways to maximize value from their current assets:
“Our customers want smarter ways to do more with the equipment they already own. Partnering with Sabanto lets us deliver autonomy without forcing major equipment investments.”
Affordable Autonomy for Every Farm
Sabanto’s retrofit kits transform tractors into autonomous machines capable of precise field operations such as tillage, planting, and mowing. The system’s open-architecture approach ensures compatibility across multiple brands and models. Farmers gain improved uptime, reduced labor dependence, and lower operational costs—all while extending the life of their existing equipment.
Sabanto’s Global Mission
With OneAg and Vantage NSW joining its growing dealer network, Sabanto continues to push the boundaries of accessible autonomy worldwide. The company’s focus remains clear: make smaller, smarter, and more affordable machinery a reality for farmers everywhere.
