Foreign farmers buying Agricultural Engineering Excavator for the first time are often misled by claims like "the higher the horsepower, the better" or "imported models are definitely more durable". Not only do they spend an extra 100,000, but the equipment may also be unsuitable. Getting these 6 questions right can help avoid pitfalls.
1.Focusing only on horsepower and ignoring operating scenarios?
A new farmer bought a 120-horsepower Agricultural Engineering Excavator, but when working in the orchard, its large turning radius frequently crushed seedlings, and fuel consumption was 30% higher than that of a 60-horsepower model. Machine selection should match the farm scale: 6-ton class is suitable for less than 50 acres, and 20-ton class should be considered for more than 100 acres.
2.Ignoring attachment interface compatibility?
Some buyers only pay attention to the bucket when purchasing, but later find that the interface is incompatible when they want to add a deep loosening shovel, so they have to buy new attachments. High-quality Agricultural Engineering Excavator will reserve standardized quick-change interfaces to ensure compatibility with buckets, grapples, spreaders, etc.
3.Blindly believing "imported means durable"?
Some imported Agricultural Engineering Excavator have few local after-sales outlets, and it takes 3 months to restock parts, seriously delaying the busy farming season. Brands like Hengwang, however, have service centers in many parts of the world, with responses within 2 hours and higher cost performance.
4.Not asking about track ground pressure?
Narrow tracks are prone to getting stuck in muddy fields. Choosing a Agricultural Engineering Excavator with wide tracks (e.g., 600mm) and a ground pressure of ≤31KPa ensures stable driving without compacting the farmland, which affects crop growth.
5.Neglecting maintenance cost calculations?
A farm's Agricultural Engineering Excavator costs $500 more per maintenance than similar models because its filters are not universal. Choosing models with easily available parts saves money in the long run.
6.Skipping actual operation tests?
Some buyers place orders without test driving, only to find that the control levers are too heavy, causing arm soreness after daily work. It is essential to test the machine on-site to ensure the cab visibility and operational comfort are suitable for long hours of work.
Choosing the right Agricultural Engineering Excavator depends on crop types (fruit trees/field crops) and terrain (flat/sloped land).
