Across the vast, fertile plains of southern Henan during August and September, the sprawling peanut fields of Shangcai County, Zhumadian, present a picture of bountiful harvest; plump peanut pods hang heavy beneath yellowing stems and leaves as the roar of agricultural machinery echoes across the furrows. Veteran operator Zhang is skillfully maneuvering a Zoomlion peanut harvester; in no time, the peanuts from half a mu of land are gathered, cleaned, and threshed, then discharged via a conveyor chute into a waiting tricycle. Thanks to his consistently steady and efficient performance, Zhang enjoys an excellent reputation among peanut growers in the surrounding villages and towns. 

 As a key peanut-growing county in Henan Province, Shangcai County consistently maintains a peanut cultivation area of over 800,000 mu. In the past, local peanut harvesting relied entirely on manual digging and threshing—a process that was both time-consuming and labor-intensive. Five or six years ago, noticing the expanding scale of local peanut farming and the growing shortage of mechanized harvesting services, Mr. Zhang decided to purchase a peanut harvester to fill this market gap. He initially visited three agricultural machinery exhibitions, consulted over a dozen experienced operators, and compared the specifications and reputations of various brands before finally purchasing his first harvester from a local Zoomlion Harvest dealership. "The dealer and the manufacturer's staff demonstrated the machine's pickup performance on-site and promised reliable after-sales service, so I paid the deposit right then and there." Mr. Zhang used that first machine for three years; aside from the routine replacement of wear parts, it experienced virtually no major breakdowns. Having personally experienced the quality of Zoomlion Harvest products, he did not hesitate to choose the company's latest model when it came time to replace his old machine in 2025—marking the second Zoomlion Harvest peanut harvester he has owned.

For the past few years, Operator Zhang has focused his operations within Zhumadian and its neighboring cities, rarely traveling long distances for cross-regional work; yet, within less than a month of the harvest season beginning, he had already harvested 400 to 500 mu of crops. He speaks highly of the performance of his peanut harvester: "The peanuts harvested by this machine are exceptionally clean—soil clods and debris like stems and leaves are thoroughly sifted out, and there is minimal pod loss. Farmers can take the harvest straight home for drying, which saves a tremendous amount of effort." What impresses him most is the machine's adaptability to wet peanuts. Previously, Shangcai experienced three consecutive days of rain; while peanut harvesters from many other brands would suffer drum jams the moment they entered the fields—causing operators to avoid taking jobs altogether—Zhang’s Zoomlion harvester could operate as usual. "Wet peanuts create more friction, so the operating speed drops by about 20% to 30%, but the harvested pods suffer almost no damage. Even though it takes a bit longer, farmers are willing to wait; in fact, many specifically seek me out and are even happy to pay a premium for the service."

When asked why he consistently chooses Zhonglian Shouhuo, he cites not only the exceptional quality of the peanut harvester itself but also the highly efficient after-sales service. On one occasion, while he was operating the machine, its power suddenly dropped; upon inspection, he discovered the drive belt had come loose. He spent over ten minutes trying to adjust it himself without success, becoming increasingly anxious and breaking into a sweat. He called the Zhonglian Shouhuo service hotline, and to his surprise, a technician arrived promptly. The technician not only brought a compatible replacement belt but also tightened the loose components and even inspected the machine for any other potential issues. "If I buy a peanut harvester in the future, I’ll definitely choose Zhonglian Shouhuo again. The products are reliable, and the after-sales service gives me peace of mind. For us machine operators, that’s what matters most—peace of mind and the ability to earn a good income!"

In 2026, building upon the mature technology of the H6 Super peanut pickup harvester, Zoomlion Harvest launched the all-new H6 MAX peanut pickup harvester. This model incorporates iterative optimizations that specifically address the most common pain points faced by operators, delivering significant improvements in operation, efficiency, stability, and harvest quality to ensure a more effortless harvesting experience. The H6 MAX features a breakthrough upgrade in operation, introducing an intelligent electronically controlled main clutch system that allows for one-touch engagement and disengagement, thereby greatly reducing operator fatigue during prolonged, cross-regional operations. Its core picking system has undergone targeted optimization, with re-matched structural parameters for the dual-picking configuration (combining tangential and longitudinal axial flow) to further enhance adaptability in complex operating environments. Additionally, the H6 MAX offers a wide range of premium optional configurations—such as single-lever electronic control, hydrostatic drive, heating and cooling A/C, radial tires, and four-wheel drive—allowing users to customize the machine to their specific needs. Whether handling small-scale local jobs or tackling large-scale, cross-regional operations, the H6 MAX is a powerful and versatile choice for peanut harvesting.
