Feng, an agricultural machinery operator in Zhumadian, Henan: Just for the ten or so acres of peanut fields at home, I bought a Zhonglian peanut harvester.

Master Feng, an agricultural machinery operator from Zhumadian, Henan, is a newcomer in the peanut harvesting industry. He only purchased his first peanut harvester in 2025. In his view, reliable agricultural machinery is not only a production tool but also a trustworthy partner in agricultural production and increasing income and wealth.

"My family planted about ten acres of peanuts. In previous years, we always hired professional machine operators to harvest the peanuts. I remember that during the 2022 harvest season, I booked half a month in advance, but due to severe disasters in neighboring counties, the operators were all busy rushing to harvest there. As a result, we had to delay our harvest by 3–4 days. The weather forecast showed continuous rain for a week starting in two days. If the peanuts couldn't be stored in time, problems like sprouting and rotting could occur, and our planting income would be lost. We harvested manually for two days and only managed to collect a third; some peanuts had already started sprouting due to the rain, which was very stressful. Luckily, with help from relatives and friends, we found a peanut harvester and harvested overnight, which reduced the loss. This situation has repeated over the years. Since I personally have experience driving large vehicles and the operation of agricultural machinery is not difficult, I officially purchased a peanut harvester in 2025. Coincidentally, the very first year I used it, we again faced continuous rainy weather, but our peanuts were successfully harvested. This year, I plan to expand the surrounding operation area."

When talking about his experience buying a machine, Master Feng said: 'I don't have much experience in purchasing and using agricultural machinery, so I was particularly hesitant about choosing a brand. The operators in our village have always bought Zhonglian Harvest peanut harvesters, which are fast at harvesting and have very low rates of fruit drop and fruit breakage, making the income from a single harvest season considerable. After a few farmers in the village who intended to buy a machine and I went to see the actual Zhonglian Harvest peanut harvester, we all bought Zhonglian Harvest peanut harvesters.' After the first harvest season, Master Feng and other users who bought the machines were very satisfied with the performance of the Zhonglian Harvest peanut harvester. He said: 'The actual performance of this harvester completely exceeded expectations. It is highly efficient, with very little fruit breakage and loss. I not only completed the harvest of my own peanuts smoothly but also took on harvesting orders from neighboring villages and towns, and the income was quite good. In the future, if friends around me are looking to buy a peanut harvester, we will all recommend Zhonglian Harvest first.'

When discussing the specific use of the harvester, Master Feng also expressed great satisfaction: 'When we were selecting agricultural machinery, we considered power as a core factor. The terrain around Zhumadian is complex, consisting of ridges and lowlands. According to experienced operators, harvesting in waterlogged fields with high straw moisture and heavy feeding demand is very challenging for the harvester. My Zhonglian peanut harvester has performed steadily throughout the entire operation cycle, providing ample power under all working conditions, never stalling or losing speed. Its power performance fully meets the operational requirements, making it very easy to use.'

When talking about plans for future work, Master Feng said, 'Last year I worked for a season but didn't dare to go out to work. The reliable performance of the Zhonglian peanut harvester gave me the idea of cross-regional operations. This year, I plan to team up with users who bought the Zhonglian peanut harvester last year to carry out cross-regional operations, moving from south to north along the peanut ripening cycle to increase our earnings. Choosing Zhonglian harvester back then was definitely the right decision. Without Zhonglian harvester, cross-regional operations would not be possible.'

In 2026, based on the technological foundation of the H6super model, Zoomlion Harvest focused on the actual operational pain points of agricultural machinery operators to carry out technological iterations and officially launched the H6MAX peanut picking harvester. The overall practicality and operational convenience of the machine have been comprehensively upgraded. The machine is equipped with a newly designed platform-specific cab, paired with a new type of hydraulic control lever, effectively reducing fatigue during long working hours and significantly enhancing driving comfort, fully meeting the needs of long-duration, cross-area operations. The traveling system has been specially reinforced: it is equipped with an enhanced travel gearbox, matched with a larger side reduction design, greatly increasing transmission load capacity. Even under complex conditions such as mud or slopes, it can maintain stable output, maximizing machine operational reliability and effectively preventing mid-operation failures that could delay farming. Over the years, Zoomlion Harvest has consistently upgraded its products based on the actual operational needs of farmers. The newly launched H6MAX peanut picking harvester is undoubtedly an excellent choice for agricultural machinery operators to improve operational efficiency and achieve increased income and wealth.
