AGCO Tech Day 2026 Spotlights Autonomy, AI and Mixed-Fleet Solutions to Enhance Farmer Profitability

YORKVILLE, Ill., Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AGCO (NYSE: AGCO) is demonstrating autonomy, artificial intelligence (AI) and mixed-fleet connectivity during its annual Tech Day at Stewart Farms near Yorkville, outside Chicago, Illinois. Showcased during the fall harvest, the technologies are designed to help farmers increase productivity, improve efficiency and enhance profitability across the crop cycle.

"Farmers judge technology by what it returns, not by what it promises," said Eric Hansotia, AGCO's Chairman, President and CEO. "At Tech Day, we are demonstrating autonomy, AI and connected solutions in the conditions farmers work in every day, helping them get more value from every pass across the field."

AGCO'sPTx® precision agriculture solutions are built to work across brands and machines and reach farmers through a dedicated technology channel designed to accelerate adoption. By combining specialized PTx dealers, AGCO machine dealers and OEM partnerships, AGCO can deliver retrofit and factory-fit solutions that help farmers connect mixed fleets, put their data to work and get more value from the equipment they already operate.

Throughout the event, AGCO will demonstrate how connected technologies work together from planning and planting through crop protection, harvest and service support:

• Farm Management:PTxFarmENGAGE™ connects mixed fleets through a common digital platform, while the Panorama® intelligence platform transforms machine and agronomic data into actionable insights.
• Aurora™,AGCO's AI assistant that operates within Panorama, allowing farmers to ask questions using voice or text and quickly access the maps, reports and insights they need to make informed decisions.
• Planting: Momentum® planters, ArrowTube™ and Panorama work together to improve seed placement and support more consistent crop emergence.
• Weed Control: The FendtRogator® 900 equipped with AI-enabled SymphonyVision™ technology specifically targets only weeds with precision application capabilities designed to reduce chemical use and improve efficiency.
• Harvest Season: Harvest, grain handling, fertilizer application and tillage all land in the same six-to-eight-week window and finding labor to get them done on time is a challenge. At Tech Day, the Fendt IDEAL® combine runs alongside PTx's mixed-fleet retrofit autonomy solution, OutRun™ for tillage and in-field harvest logistics utilizing autonomous grain carts, with a FendtRogator applying next year's fertilizer behind the harvest so nutrients are incorporated before runoff losses can occur. The result is more jobs completed on schedule with the crew a farmer actually has.
• FarmerCore:AGCO's unique distribution service model combines over-the-air updates, remote diagnostics and expanded on-farm support to reduce downtime and bring expertise closer to farmers.

"Our Farmer-First strategy starts with giving farmers more choice in how they adopt technology," said Hansotia. "Whether through the equipment they already own, the brands they prefer or the dealer relationships they trust, AGCO is focused on making practical innovation easier to access and more valuable in the field."

The solutions demonstrated at Tech Day are commercially available today or progressing toward commercial availability. Farmers can learn more through their local Fendt®, Massey Ferguson®, Valtra®, or PTx dealer.

AGCO will host a presentation as part of Tech Day activities that updates the company's strategy and provides a detailed review of AGCO's precision ag business. The presentation on October 6 at 5:00 p.m. Central Time (CT) will feature Eric Hansotia, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Damon Audia, President, PTx and Corporate Strategy.
