Conor, a multi-generational farmer from Northwest Kansas, recently tested the Hero RGD—a rugged, high-performance bionic arm designed for physically demanding work. As someone who lives and breathes farm life, Conor was the perfect person to offer real-world feedback.
In this blog, Conor shares his early impressions of using this multi-functional prosthetic limb in one of the toughest environments imaginable: his own family farm.
During his time testing the Hero RGD, Conor put the device through a full spectrum of tasks—from scooping grain and shoveling straw to carrying feed buckets and driving through cattle pastures.
“Whether I was running a shovel or carrying something heavy, it handled it.”
Designed for power and utility, Hero RGD supports two-handed tasks, allowing users to confidently hold tools like wrenches or shovels without worrying about grip slippage or device failure.
“I can hold a wrench and feel confident it’s not going to slip,” he explains. “And I can shovel without needing to switch to a different prosthetic.”
Conor got a sense of how versatile Hero RGD is. On a farm, no two days are the same—and a prosthetic needs to adapt fast.
“It gave me back some independence—especially for jobs I’d normally avoid or need a different prosthetic for.”
Waterproof. Worry-Free.
One of the standout features for Conor was the RGD’s waterproof design. Farm work means dealing with water, rain, mud, and busted pipes—often all at once.
“
Things can change in a second. You’re dry one moment, soaked the next. I didn’t have to worry about switching it out or breaking it.

Design That Works—And Looks Good Doing It.
“It looks sleek without being too flashy. I didn’t feel like a robot, and I could go about the day comfortably.”
The Hero RGD’s breathable design and comfortable fit allowed Conor to wear it throughout long test sessions—no overheating, no constant adjustments.
“It’s easy to imagine this being part of your routine. It handled everything I threw at it.”
Built for demanding jobs, made for real-world work.
