Daedong's tractors and combines received the highest scores, ranking first. Daedong tractors have held the No. 1 position for four consecutive years since 2021, and combines have achieved first place for two consecutive years. Daedong is prioritizing the advancement of autonomous driving functions with the goal of 'robotization of agricultural machinery.' In the second half of last year, it passed the national test for level 3 autonomous driving of agricultural machinery, which includes straight and turning autonomous driving, and launched the HX tractor and DH6135 combine equipped with this function. In April of this year, Daedong expanded its autonomous driving tractor lineup from large to medium-sized by releasing the GX medium-sized tractor capable of autonomous operation.

Choi Geun-young, head of Daedong Group IMC Headquarters, said, “We will introduce innovative products to provide customers using Daedong with value beyond expectations and to leap forward as a leading company in future agriculture.” He added, “Beyond manufacturing agricultural machinery, we will advance the agricultural machinery robotization business to maximize agricultural productivity and efficiency, thereby enhancing the value of agriculture.”
