Technology Empowers "Three Summers" Production, High-End Machinery Boosts Hetao Grain Granary. On July 21, the 2026 China Agricultural Machinery Promotion Field Day was launched at Linhe Farm in the Bayannur National Agricultural High-Tech Industrial Demonstration Zone. Weichai LOVOL's smart agriculture integrated solutions made a significant debut, from tillage and sowing to grain storage, and from yield measurement to variable fertilization. Intelligent machinery and digital systems worked in synergy, opening a technological pathway for increased production and efficiency in the "Grain Granary Beyond the Great Wall".
At the event site, dozens of Weichai LOVOL high-end intelligent agricultural machines stood in formation and operated in full coordination, delivering a high-efficiency and intelligent field technology show. Among them, the domestically produced LOVOL Godson GS8239 grain combine harvester, the largest in China with a 500-horsepower capacity and 23-kilogram feed intake, took center stage. Leading a fleet of large harvesting machinery including the GK7168, GK6126, and GM5125, the machines formed a disciplined "V" formation to carry out harvesting operations, showcasing their powerful performance and intelligent capabilities that amazed the audience.
After the wheat harvesting operation is completed, the entire set of intelligent follow-up field operations are seamlessly connected. The LOVOL P2404-7V high-power CVT tractor is equipped with generous bundling equipment to complete straw bundling operations, and scattered wheat straw on the ground is bundled into uniformly sized generous bundles. After picking up and cleaning straw, the LOVOL E4104-8H unmanned high-end hybrid tractor pulls a hydraulic flipping plow for deep flipping operations, laying a solid soil foundation for subsequent sowing.
After the plowing process is completed, the LOVOL P2604 power shift tractor pulls the wheat strip planter, and the LOVOL M2204 power shift tractor pulls the LOVOL electric drive precision seeder to synchronously carry out sowing operations, accurately adapting to the planting needs of wheat and corn staple crops in the Hetao area. The control of sowing depth and plant spacing is more precise, completely solving the problems of uneven sowing density and uneven emergence of seedlings in traditional planting.
The event also set up a special exhibition area for characteristic crop machinery, targeting the shortcomings of mechanized production of regional characteristic crops and helping to improve the quality and efficiency of local characteristic agriculture. At the same time, two interactive sections were set up: high-end agricultural machinery driving experience and sickle harvesting experience, allowing growers to immerse themselves in the convenience and efficiency of intelligent agricultural machinery operation, winning unanimous praise from on-site observers.
Based on Weichai LOVOL's years of accumulated intelligent terminals and smart agriculture big data platform, the overall solution presented this time is a "soft hard integration" smart agriculture production decision-making system, which can accurately adapt to local planting conditions such as soil characteristics, crop categories, and climate environment in the Hetao area, automatically match the optimal tillage, sowing, plant protection, and harvesting parameters, and upgrade the traditional "experience based farming" to digital, standardized, and intelligent management.
Combining soil nutrient databases, yield data, and other information, the platform automatically generates a variable fertilizer prescription map, accurately calculating the required fertilizer amount for each unit in the field. After the prescription map is directly distributed to the intelligent agricultural machinery equipped with a variable fertilizer controller, the variable fertilization of "supplementing where there is a shortage of fertilizer, and adjusting where there is high yield and reduction" is achieved, completely subverting the traditional extensive mode of uniform application.
The data shows that with the support of this solution, while significantly saving production costs such as seeds and labor, it can also significantly improve land use efficiency and output benefits. The comprehensive operational efficiency has increased by more than 30% compared to traditional planting methods, and the potential for increasing grain production per unit area can reach 10% -15%, successfully achieving multiple values of cost reduction, quality improvement, yield increase, and efficiency enhancement. At present, the solution has been validated in multiple fields and has mature replicability. Large grain growers on site generally believe that it has accurately solved long-term pain points such as difficulty in unifying fertilization standards and inaccurate yield estimation during the "Three Summers" rush planting and harvesting.
With the successful holding of this Field Day event, the mature model of Weichai LOVOL's smart agriculture will start from the Hetao Plain and radiate northward along both banks of the Yellow River towards the vast grain fields. When intelligent agricultural machinery drives through the golden wheat waves, when digital platforms connect the fields with the cloud, the harvest story of the Hetao Plain is continuing to write a more abundant new chapter under the brush of technology.
