🚜 What Happens When Engineering Meets Agriculture? A Day with John Deere
Recently, we had the opportunity to attend the “John Deere India Product Launch 2026 | Power & Technology 7.0” event conducted at Agricultural Engineering College and Research Institute TNAU KUMULUR . As agricultural engineering students, it truly felt like stepping into the future of farming. 🌱
The event was also special because John Deere celebrated 27 years in India and an incredible milestone of serving over one million customers. That’s a lot of tractors helping a lot of farmers! 🚜👏
During the session, we got to explore some exciting innovations that show how engineering is transforming agriculture. We learned about technologies like Creeper Gear Technology, PermaClutch Technology, and the powerful 5M Series tractors, including the 5130M (130 HP) — which made many of us imagine driving it straight to the field. 😄
The machines also come with improved safety and comfort features such as ROPS safety structures, finger guards, anti-skid mats, and high-comfort AC cabins — because even tractor operators deserve a comfortable office! ❄️🚜
We were also introduced to innovations like radial tyres, hitch suspension systems, and the GreenSystem Combination Implement, which can perform multiple land-preparation operations in a single pass — basically the agricultural version of multitasking done right. 🌾⚙️
On the digital side, technologies like JDLink connectivity and AutoTrac satellite guidance showed how farming is becoming smarter, with tractors that can share real-time data and even guide themselves with impressive accuracy. 📡🛰️
One of the best parts of the event was the interactive discussion with John Deere experts, Mr. Vellai Murugan and Mr. Sujan Kumar Rajagopal, who shared practical insights about these technologies and how they are used in real agricultural operations.
We are grateful to our Dean, Dr. Raviraj Ayyavoo, and Dr. Padmanathan Kaliappan, Head of the Farm Machinery and Power Engineering Department, for giving us the opportunity to attend such an insightful event.
🙏A special thanks to the John Deere team for conducting this event at AEC&RI, TNAU, Kumulur and giving students a chance to learn about the technologies shaping modern agriculture.
And honestly… seeing all those powerful tractors made many of us wish we could take one for a quick test drive straight to the farm. 🚜😄
