Remote-Controlled Tractor

This was a contract project that we built for a rancher that approached us.

What we had to do was build a system that would allow the rancher to control his TV-145 tractor from a trailer that was hooked behind it.

So, we created a mechanical assembly that manipulated the human controls within the cab of the tractor the same way a normal human would. Then we integrated a small hand-held RC system into it.

The system ended up being so easily installed and built that the rancher can repair most of the system himself without outside help, and there were no large modifications made to the tractor.
