I'm thinking a robot trimmer/edger would be nice too.

I remember reading about driverless tractors some time ago.  There are grain carts that will sense the combine is full, message the tractor, which will pull the cart alongside the combine to allow it to empty.

Some farmers I talked to about it said,"But what will our kids do?"
