China Economic Roundtable｜China YTO: Promote the improvement of both the “appearance” and “performance” of domestic agricultural machinery

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 12 (Reporters Gu Yiping and Li Jianan) Wang Dongqing, deputy chief engineer of First Tractor Co., Ltd., said in the "China Economic Roundtable" large-scale all-media interview program launched by Xinhua News Agency on November 12 that in recent years, China YTO has continued to tackle difficulties and promoted the improvement of both the "appearance" and "skills" of domestic agricultural machinery.

Agricultural machinery and equipment are an important support for ensuring national food security. What Wang Dongqing feels most deeply in recent years is that my country's agriculture is accelerating from "organic and usable" to "organic and useful". Domestic smart agricultural machinery makes sowing faster and more accurate, and the Dongfanghong tractor produced by China YTO is the "main force" among them.

Breaking through the core technologies of hydraulic mechanical stepless transmission structure, control, manufacturing and testing, it launched a series of continuously variable speed tractors with 320 to 450 horsepower to make up for the shortcomings of domestic heavy-duty equipment. After equipped with Beidou positioning, Dongfanghong smart tractor's straight-line and connection accuracy is controlled within 2.5 cm, which can significantly reduce missed plowing and heavy plowing. ; The smart cockpit adopts an operation method similar to a game controller, and is fully automated and intelligent... Wang Dongqing said that from 1958 when the first tractor rolled off the production line in New China, ushering in the era of "no cattle for farming", to today's continuous mass production of power shift, continuously variable speed, and hybrid models, China YTO has continued to accelerate independent innovation.

In 2025, the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop farming and harvesting nationwide will reach 76.82%. The outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" is clear, strengthening agricultural science and technology and equipment support, and proposing the goal of "increasing the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop farming and harvesting to more than 80%."

Wang Dongqing said that the "15th Five-Year Plan" outline clearly puts forward higher goals, which means that agricultural mechanization will shift from the main battlefield of "plain staple grains" to the critical stage of "hilly mountainous areas + cash crops", which is both a valuable opportunity and a major responsibility for agricultural machinery companies.

He said that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China YTO will continue to focus on large-scale, high-end, green, intelligent and other directions, focusing on key core technologies; strengthen the coordination and integration of the industrial chain, and promote the in-depth synergy of agricultural machinery and agronomy; promote the commercialization of hybrid and pure electric agricultural machinery step by step, proactively deploy hydrogen energy technology, simultaneously build a digital agricultural service system, and firmly promote green and intelligent transformation; deepen the global market layout, let domestic high-end agricultural machinery gain a foothold in the global market, and establish a good brand.
