Talking MCX Tech

MCX Tech is excited to partner in the Lawn Solutions Australia Conference in Wollongong NSW. We will have our Sabanto Tractor demonstrations - showing growers what a driverless tractor looks like on farm and all the features which go with it.We will be offering a talk on farm readiness around Level 4 autonomous solutions for farms and engaging with attendees at the conference, including presenting a awards to the Future Leader Award winner and Safety First Award Winner.Let's Stampede into the Future - Together at the Lawn Solutions Australia 2026 Conference

MCX Tech explores Level 4 autonomy with Sabanto -focusing on safety, farm readiness, and responsible adoption across the Australian agricultural industry.In Episode 4 of the MCX Tech Podcast, CJ Baldry Adams sits down with Scott Jameson and Michael Casey to explore the next critical phase of autonomy in agriculture responsibility, readiness, and real-world adoption.This episode shifts the conversation from capability to accountability.With the Sabanto Level 4 autonomous system now proven in the field, the focus turns to what matters most:How do we introduce this technology safely, responsibly, and in a way that brings the entire industry forward?We explore:What Level 4 autonomy really means for today’s farming operationsWhy autonomy isn’t new and why perception is changing rapidlyThe role of turf as a proving ground for safe deploymentLabour, efficiency, and workforce redeployment in autonomous systemsThe importance of validation, safety, and regulatory alignmentThe development of MCX Tech’s Farm Readiness FrameworkWhy autonomy must be introduced without leaving growers behindThis episode also dives into the broader responsibility of industry leaders ensuring autonomy delivers real value, not just innovation for innovation’s sake.At its core, this is a conversation about trust, legacy, and doing things properly for today’s growers and the next generation of agriculture.“We don’t just deploy autonomy - we take responsibility for how it enters the industry.” Mick Casey - Director - MCX Tech

In Episode 3 of the MCX Tech Podcast, we sit down with Wade Wilcox, Autonomy Support Manager at PTX Trimble, to unpack what it actually takes to deliver autonomy in the real world.This episode goes beyond strategy and theory and into execution under pressure.From unexpected challenges and technical setbacks to team alignment and problem-solving in the field, this conversation captures a full week of deploying the OutRun autonomy platform in Australian conditions - under a validation process.We explore:What happens when things don’t go to plan and how teams respondThe importance of trust between OEM, dealer, and field teamsBuilding technical capability in real timeThe role of culture, accountability, and leadership in deliveryWhy autonomy isn’t just a product it’s a system that must be executedSafety, responsibility, and duty of care in Level 4 autonomyThis episode also highlights the importance of partnership showing how collaboration between PTX Trimble and MCX Tech is setting a new benchmark for how autonomy is introduced, supported, and scaled.At its core, this is a conversation about execution, resilience, and doing things properly - even when it’s hard."In our game - plans don’t fail - they just change direction. And this can happen - daily". Michael Casey - Director - MCX Tech

Welcome to the MCX Tech Podcast - where agriculture meets technology in the real world. In this episode, we sit down with PTX Trimble to explore autonomy at a global level and what it takes to bring it to life on Australian farms.In Episode 2 of the MCX Tech Podcast, we sit down with Dinan Subramaniam from PTX Trimble alongside Michael Casey, to unpack the global evolution of autonomy and what it takes to bring it to life on Australian farms.This conversation moves beyond the hype of autonomous machinery and into the reality of implementation, integration, and readiness.We explore the OutRun autonomy platform (just after our demo day), the role of retrofit technology, and how global innovation is being translated into practical, scalable solutions for growers.A key focus of this episode is farm readiness - not just whether the technology is ready, but whether farms, people, and systems are prepared to adopt it safely and effectively.We unpack:The current state of Level 4 autonomy globallyWhy autonomy is no longer “future tech” - it’s here nowThe importance of retrofit solutions in accelerating adoptionThe role of dealers in translating technology into real outcomesFarm readiness, safety, and operational integrationThe shift from product delivery to end-to-end solutionsFeaturing insights from CJ Baldry Adams, this episode also dives into the development of a farm readiness framework, designed to ensure autonomy is introduced responsibly, safely, and with long-term value for growers.This is a conversation about leadership in ag tech and what it takes to move from innovation to impact.“We don’t deliver technology - we deliver readiness, integration, and real outcomes on farm.” Michael Casey - Director - MCX Tech

In our first episode of the MCX Tech Podcast, we sit down with Marcus Rogers, Director of Turfco, to explore what autonomy actually looks like in the field - not in theory, but in real-world application.From the introduction of Sabanto autonomous systems into the Australian market, to the operational realities of implementing robotics in turf farming, this conversation unpacks the journey from concept to execution.We talk through:What autonomy really means for the turf industryThe role of Sabanto and autonomous machinery on farmThe challenges of integrating new technology into existing operationsWorkforce, safety, and efficiency in an autonomous environmentThe roadmap for adoption across Australian agricultureThis episode is grounded in experience - sharing honest insights into what works, what doesn’t, and what it takes to bring new technology into the field.If you’re interested in the future of agriculture, autonomy, and practical on-farm innovation - this is where it starts.“This isn’t a conversation about what’s coming - it’s a conversation about what’s already happening in the field.” Michael Casey - Director - MCX Tech
