Intelligent Leadership Tilling the Fields | Zoomlion Shines at the 2026 China In
October 28,2026
On October 26, the 2026 China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition grandly opened at the Tianjin National Convention and Exhibition Center. On site, Zoomlion made a major launch of the world's largest horsepower tractor, displayed multiple high-end smart agricultural machines and implements, and meanwhile presented its smart-agriculture strengths—precision technology, software platforms, smart hardware, and integrated operation models—offering global customers a high-end, intelligent, and green overall solution for agricultural production.
World's Largest Horsepower Tractor Debuts, Led by Intelligent Hybrid Machinery Lineup
That morning, Zoomlion's booth drew heavy crowds, with its high-end agricultural machinery matrix becoming the focal point. At the new-product launch, the company introduced to the world a hybrid tractor with peak power of 1,600 horsepower, once again breaking the global tractor horsepower record and demonstrating the new heights of Chinese agricultural machinery. Leaders, guests, and media from numerous industry associations jointly witnessed this important moment.

The 9DX hybrid tractor's digital chassis, core components, and control systems are all independently developed by Zoomlion. Adopting extra-large-horsepower hybrid continuously variable transmission (CVT) technology, it delivers peak torque of 7,200 N·m, adapts to extreme operations on slopes above 12°, and reaches a top speed of 40 km/h, designed specifically for the high-difficulty, high-intensity scenarios of super-large farms. Compared with similar models, the 9DX offers greater traction, stronger burst power, lower fuel consumption, and better field adaptability, providing large-scale farming users with a smarter, more efficient, and more economical operating solution.
In the new-energy agricultural machinery field, Zoomlion has built a high-end product matrix spanning multiple categories and technology routes. At this exhibition it showcased the world's first series-hybrid combine harvester, the DH7-6000, together with the high-horsepower hybrid tractor DV3504. As the world's first large-feeding-capacity grain combine to apply hybrid technology, the DH7-6000 delivers breakthrough peak power above 600 horsepower, a feeding capacity of up to 20 kg/s, reduces overall energy consumption by 30%, and improves operating efficiency by 15%. The DV3504 hybrid tractor is equipped with the industry's first MiDD intelligent hybrid system, with key technologies and core components developed in-house, enabling independent, continuously variable drive of its travel, PTO, and hydraulic output modules. The model has been nominated in both the high-horsepower and sustainability core categories of Europe's Tractor of the Year 2027, breaking the "zero nomination" history of Chinese agricultural machinery since the award's founding in 1998.

For various agricultural production scenarios such as field tillage, grain harvesting, and drying and storage, Zoomlion also exhibited multiple "high-precision" agricultural equipment and high-end implements to boost grain production quality and efficiency. Among them, the PL100 track-type grain combine achieves a feeding capacity of up to 10 kg/s with a comprehensive harvest loss rate stably controlled within 1%, delivering clean separation and low loss. The integrated smart drying solution combines technologies including intelligent variable-temperature drying, online flow detection, remote centralized control, and IoT operation. The largest-spec Rabe-series hydraulic reversible plow, the 1LF-1350T, and the 12-row electric-drive pneumatic seeder, the 2BMXSE-12, debuted together, attracting strong attention from exhibiting guests.

Building a "Technology + Operation" Dual Closed Loop to Drive Scaled Smart-Agriculture Adoption
Zoomlion Smart Agriculture brought precision technology, software platforms, smart hardware, and integrated operation models together for a concentrated showcase, systematically presenting a complete closed loop from "perception—decision—execution" to "construction—operation—service," providing a replicable solution for the scaled adoption of smart agriculture.
In the precision-technology zone, Zoomlion Smart Agriculture demonstrated three core technologies covering the full planting season of water, fertilizer, and pesticides, breaking "perception—decision—execution" down into field-executable standard actions. Precision irrigation takes real-time data from water-level and soil-moisture sensors as input, and combined with crop water demand and weather changes generates millimeter-level irrigation and drainage instructions, with irrigation equipment responding automatically—no manual field work required. Precision fertilization spans base and top dressing: the base-dressing stage issues a fertilization prescription and plans flight paths for each field, guiding drones to spread precisely; the top-dressing stage uses multispectral drones to complete scanning and generate a growth map within ten seconds, guiding drones to variable-rate fertilize with high-precision prescriptions. Precision plant protection relies on weather stations, insect-light traps, and other devices to feed various data into a prediction model, with the intelligent decision system issuing "prescriptions" and drones applying pesticides precisely in the optimal window, achieving reduced chemical use and cost as well as less loss and higher yield.

On site, Zoomlion Smart Agriculture's software platform presented the chain of "management cockpit—farm overview—farm operations management—field monitoring," building a digital hub from "visibility" to "manageability." Farmers can quickly grasp real-time plot information and crop growth, retrieve plot-level fertilization prescriptions and input usage, and dispatch tasks with one click. Multiple self-developed field smart-hardware products effectively support farming-decision implementation, including soil-moisture sensors, water-level gauges, and intelligent inlet/outlet gates, supporting deep customization, precise data collection, and labor-saving deployment, while enabling device interlinkage and linking to the platform for automatic irrigation and drainage execution.

The validation of technology-adoption results depends on the operation model. Taking the Gangzhongping project as an example, Zoomlion Smart Agriculture presented two types of practices—smart-farm construction operation and modern agricultural service-center operation—addressing the traditional model's problem of "emphasizing construction, neglecting operation." It advances integrated progress from farmland renovation and digital upgrades to agronomy services, introduces IoT and intelligent decision platforms to achieve automated field patrol and precision operations, and explores localized planting standards to solve the "built but not running" pain point. Currently, the Gangzhongping modern agricultural service center has been put into operation, integrating centralized rice seedling raising, agricultural-input distribution, and machinery services, adopting a "government guidance, enterprise operation, village collective participation" model and promoting joint cultivation and shared planting with unified plowing, planting, management, and harvesting. Data shows that Gangzhongping Village reduced fertilizer use by 20% year on year, increased yields by about 4%, and added more than 200 yuan of profit per mu for farmers.

This exhibition comprehensively demonstrated the fruitful results the company has achieved in cultivating and developing new-quality agricultural productivity through its "smart agricultural machinery + smart agriculture" dual-engine drive. Anchoring its "high-end, international, new-energy" development strategy and relying on its continuously strengthened independent innovation capability and full-chain product strength, Zoomlion will showcase higher-quality, more competitive Chinese agricultural machinery to the global market, drive smart agriculture to take effect in more fields, and continuously inject development momentum into global agricultural modernization.
