Here's what farmers are saying about Monarch Tractor:“Compared to the Monarch Tractor, a lot of old tractors are in the Dark Ages. Monarch is tremendous and has the potential to be the future of tractors.” – Seth Cripe (Founder and Winemaker, Lola Vineyards & Winery)“The Monarch Tractor is the best put-together unit that I have personally seen. Being able to put your best driver in the tractor to do a task one time and then have the tractor exactly mimic that task is super valuable.” – Brad Kurtz (Vineyard Manager, Wente Vineyards)“We see Monarch Tractor as one of the missing links to the sustainability cycle. Being electric and then on top of that being autonomous, we can do more with less impact.” – Greg Gonzalez (Director of Vineyard Operations, Scheid Family Wines)Monarch launched its flagship tractor to critical acclaim.
