When it comes to potatoes, the main producing areas in most people's minds are Inner Mongolia, Yunnan and other regions. However, in late July, the author witnessed a shocking scene of mechanized harvesting of more than 2,000 mu of potatoes in Weishanzhuang Town, Daxing District, Beijing. It is reported that in order to improve the economic benefits of agricultural production, Weishanzhuang Town has actively adjusted the planting structure in recent years, opened up the sales market of agricultural products, and explored the cultivation of potatoes, which has achieved good social and economic benefits.
During the whole process of mechanized potato harvesting in Weishanzhuang Town, the performance of StarAgriEquip 4ULZ-170 potato combine harvester was very eye-catching. "In the past, potatoes were first dug out with digging equipment, and then picked up manually, which not only consumed a lot of manpower, but also cost a lot of potato harvest. Now with this potato combine harvester, one operation can be done. Realize multiple operations such as digging, soil removal, seedling removal, collection and transportation of potatoes, and compared with traditional staged harvesting, the operating efficiency can be increased by dozens of times, greatly improving operating efficiency and greatly reducing labor costs " said Wu Jianqiang, general manager of Inner Mongolia Jiufang Modern Agricultural Service Co., Ltd., who was in charge of the potato harvest.

The potato picking team we knew ten years ago was this wave, and ten years later it will still be this wave. The aging of workers is very serious. Not to mention the high cost of manual picking potatoes , The key is that no one will do this job in the future. So we started to develop potato combine harvester products a few years ago, just to solve the problem of potato harvesting.”
In the whole process of mechanized potato harvesting project in Weishanzhuang Town. Wu Jianqiang spoke highly of the performance of the potato combine harvester. Not only the harvesting efficiency is very high, but the quality is also very reliable. We have been working for a whole week now, from 4:00 am to 8:00 pm every day, 16 consecutive hours of operation, and the equipment is in a very stable state. And the quality of the potatoes harvested is also very good.
