John Deere has formed a joint venture with GUSS Automation. GUSS (Global Unmanned Spray System) is a pioneer in semi-autonomous orchard and vineyard sprayers.
Multiple GUSS sprayers can be remotely supervised by a single operator, allowing growers to spray orchards and vineyards more quickly and consistently, using fewer resources and reducing costs by eliminating operator error and downtime.

Welcome to the Future
GUSS solves the problems associated with spraying orchards. GUSS self-driving sprayers make spraying faster, safer, and easier — row after row, field after field, day or night.
Made in the USA
GUSS uses proven, dependable parts that growers know and trust. Decades of experience in the spraying business allows GUSS to choose designs and components that work.

In April of 2022, Stotz Equipment completed a GUSS demonstration at Chase Farms in Willcox, Arizona. Chase Farms is home to several pecan orchards, amongst other crops. This environment provided an ideal proving ground for the GUSS to show its quality and features. Stotz Equipment thanks Chase Farms for their participation in this demo.
