China National Machinery Industry Corporation released three new agricultural machinery products and two new logos at the exhibition. The three new agricultural machinery products are the Dongfanghong LW4504 tractor produced by China Yituo, the Zhongnongmu 1730A potato harvester produced by China Agricultural Machinery Institute, and the China Fuma 2ZG-6WDK high-speed rice transplanter for hilly and mountainous areas. The Dongfanghong LW4504 tractor is a fully independently developed and domestically produced maximum power continuously variable transmission product that can meet the heavy load operation needs of large farms; The 1730A potato harvester from China Agricultural Machinery integrates multiple advanced technologies designed specifically to improve work efficiency and adapt to complex agricultural environments. The two new logos are the first public cloud "Agricultural Machinery Cloud" logo in the industry field released by China Agricultural Machinery Institute and State Machinery Science and Technology Corporation.

The Aolong DK series hybrid heavy-duty tractor released by Wode Agricultural Machinery adopts an electric drive continuously variable transmission hybrid powertrain consisting of "engine+FSIG generator+main drive motor+gearbox+rear axle", which improves operating efficiency by 10% to 35% and transmission efficiency can exceed 94%. Compared to other engines, diesel power can save up to 30% fuel. Deutzfal has launched two new products, the 5W HD (140~160 horsepower) tractor and the 7WHD (230~250 horsepower) tractor. Hanwo has released a new generation of "Beyond" series tractors, which cover multiple product models ranging from 160 to 300 horsepower. The series mainly includes four technical routes: synchronizer shifting, power shuttle, power shifting, and continuously variable transmission shifting. Zhongke Original Power has released the world's largest intelligent electric tractor production, as well as the Zhiyun series unmanned operation system for agricultural machinery and the Hermes series high-speed seeding electromechanical control system. The newly released DV3504 hybrid electric wheel tractor by Zhonglian Agricultural Machinery is equipped with a diesel electric hybrid system that can cope with various operating conditions. It is paired with a continuously variable transmission in the 0-40km/h range to further improve operational efficiency; The newly released TF220 grain combine harvester is currently the largest feeding capacity, maximum horsepower, maximum cutting width, and largest grain box grain combine harvester in China. It adopts a composite threshing+large-area cleaning system, which reduces grain loss to less than 0.6% while meeting efficient operations. The 7G series large grain harvester brought by Lingong Agricultural Machinery has a feeding capacity of over 20Kg/s, equipped with 8-12 rows of corn grain cutting platforms, and a daily operating capacity of over 1200 acres. Yuchai has released a full range of agricultural machinery hybrid powertrain assemblies, including YCF11-15kW hybrid powertrain, YCF36-75kW hybrid powertrain, YCA05P IE Power assembly, YCA07K IE Power assembly, YCK09 IE Power assembly, and YCK16-500kW hybrid powertrain.

John Deere has carefully presented five top-notch agricultural machinery equipment, including the 6E-1204 basic model, 8R 410 tractor, S7 700, C2 400 combine harvester, and the newly upgraded 8600 silage harvester. The S7 700, as a shining star of John Deere, was first showcased to the audience at this exhibition; The upgraded 8600 silage harvester has a maximum power of 625 horsepower and comes standard with ProDrive™ The gearbox provides greater traction and excellent fuel consumption performance. Kaisen Netherlands not only brought its iconic high-powered tractors and efficient harvesters, but also showcased its technological achievements in precision agriculture and comprehensive spare parts financing support solutions.
