New Holland’s 18-tonne T8.435 is going to be one of the most expensive tractors with prices starting from £250,000 (around Rs 2 crore).

Why? Because its steering is assisted by satellite, it downloads data about crops and soil straight to agronomists and farm managers, works 24X7, can link with ground sensors and drones using infrared thermal cameras and tell to within a square metre the size of a field and where the most fertile or waterlogged places are.
