Chapter 44 Stone Picking Machine
Stones can be seen everywhere in many cultivated lands in China, especially in farmland on the Tibetan Plateau and in mountainous areas.
The purpose of soil stone picking is to reduce soil erosion and facilitate farmland farming, sowing and field management.
For a long time, in order to improve the quality of cultivated land and increase production, local hardworking and simple farmers and herdsmen have relied on manual labor to pick stones out of the cultivated land, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The first self-developed stone picker in China was probably born in the late 1970s. It was a special loose soil picker developed by Liao Province.
However, due to various reasons, the early stone pickers developed in China were not successfully used.
In the survey report of the Planning and Design Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture, it was also pointed out that there are many plots of land in the project area with hard stones.
Therefore, the agricultural reclamation team from Xinjiang Province this time also brought a stone picker. It was a farmland stone picker developed by scientific and technical personnel of the Xinjiang Provincial Construction Corps last year.
For this saline-alkali land treatment project, Xinjiang Provincial Agricultural Reclamation specially asked a brother unit to rent it.
The machine is pulled by a Tieniu 55 tractor, with a length of 11m, a dead weight of 1.2t, and an operating depth of 8 to 10cm.
However, in actual application in the project area, it was found that it was of little use.
Because the machine cuts into the soil in an almost tangential manner, the gravel within 30cm of the tillage layer is required to be picked up during operation. Therefore, the cutting resistance is large and difficult to apply in practice.
Compared with domestic ones, foreign stone pickers were researched earlier, and many of their models have also undergone many years of testing and improvement in stone picking operations.
Guo Yang thought of the machinery he collected at Hannover Farm Machinery, among which there were two stone pickers: the old American ‘Rotoveyer’ soil stone picker and the New Holland-Conskel stone picker.
Both brands are among the most advanced stone pickers in the world.
It can pick up large and small gravels and plant residues in the soil at one time, with high operating efficiency and good stone picking effect.
The disadvantage is that this type of soil stone picker has a large structure, high power consumption, and high cost. It is required to be matched with a high-horsepower tractor and is not suitable for stone picker operations in small land areas.
It seems that the agricultural machinery in the United States all consumes a lot of power and has high horsepower.
Thinking of this, Guo Yang thought of the two Fendt 930s he had entrusted Yu Honghai to buy on his behalf. They were also high-horsepower guys.
If there are two Fendt 930s in the project area at this time, there will be a choice to quickly tackle the difficult plowing of cultivated land.
But now these two agricultural machines are still floating in the vast ocean.
Since there was a need, Guo Yang also thought about using natural energy to solve the problem of the stone picker.
And it is carried out in two ways at the same time. One is to directly enhance the natural energy and transform the stone picker brought by the Xinjiang Province Farm Reclamation;
The other is to analyze the two types of seeds collected in the seed store. Agricultural machinery information, if the mechanical fragments can be parsed, use the mechanical fragments to improve it.
Compare the natural energy consumed by the two methods and the results after transformation.
We just need to find a suitable venue for renovation and improvement.
Guo Yang promised to the construction leaders who came to complain collectively that the cost of picking up stones would be included in the supplementary agreement as a measure fee. However, he still did not let go of the time point of the project progress. He only included the measure fee. , overtime subsidies, high temperature subsidies, etc. have been opened.
The foremen left reluctantly. The progress of the project was too fast! The acceptance inspection will be carried out in early September, and there will only be one month left at most.
In addition to picking up rocks, the construction side’s biggest worry is that the excavator is slow to plow the ground, the cost is too high, and the power and material of the rotary cultivator are not good enough.
After sending away the construction workers, Guo Yangcai looked at Lao Xiang standing aside. He had been exposed to the sun for a long time. Lao Xiang's whole body had darkened a few times, but he seemed to be in high spirits.
"Thank you, Lao Xiang."
"Just don't forget your big red envelope." Xiang Tianshan said with a smile.
“Still thinking about it?”
“It’s good to make money, not shabby.”
“Does the family need money urgently? If necessary, I can give it to you in advance Advance salary for half a year or a year. ”
Xiang Tianshan was silent for a while, then shook his head.
"When the seeds are sown, I may have to take a two-week break."
Guo Yang nodded, thinking that Lao Xiang had been in the hospital for three years for misappropriating scientific research funds, and he couldn't help but guess what happened. Reasons for misappropriation of funds.
Xiang Tianshan asked again: "Do you want to see the seed fields prepared for 'Alfalfa No. 1'? The siege has already started today." Guo Yang originally planned to go to see it, but when he thought of picking up Regarding Shiji, everyone was a little impatient.
"Forget it, I won't go this time. I have some ideas in mind. I am going to buy a stone picker from Xinjiang Provincial Reclamation and see if I can improve it."
Lao Xiang was a little confused. Guo Yang still understands this? Didn't he study breeding?
Moreover, he also looked at the stone picker of Xinjiang Provincial Reclamation and found that there should not be much problem with its structure and working principle. The main reasons were lack of power and quality of workmanship.
Guo Yang is destined to be busy in vain.
"Mr. Guo, are you sure you want to buy a stone picker?" Hou Huaijie, the person in charge of Xinjiang Provincial Farm Reclamation, still had a surprised look in his eyes.
When he got Guo Yang's affirmative answer, especially when he heard that Guo Yang was going to modify agricultural machinery, he listened as if it was a joke.
And this news spread among several construction units in a short period of time.
But no one believed that Guo Yang could succeed.
“Even when that stone picking machine picks up stones in soft soil, it is often stuck by the stones, and the chain stick is easily bent and broken.”
“No, it was used before. I have picked up so many times, and the longest distance I have picked up is only 400m.”
"There is no basic theoretical research on stone picking machines in China. They are all improved on the basis of other existing machines."
"Boss Guo’s money for buying stone picking machines is destined to be wasted. "
"Not only the stone picker, but also a tractor that was scrapped before."
"What else can that thing be used for?"
< br>“I want to turn waste into treasure!”
"Ha, it's better to just buy a new one."
......
In a deserted warehouse.
In front of Guo Yang were a purchased stone picker and a semi-scrapped Dongfanghong tractor.
With a thought, natural energy gathered in front of the semi-scrapped tractor.
"Whether natural energy is consumed to upgrade this agricultural machinery, the potential level of this agricultural machinery is primary."
Potential level? I think it comes from the agricultural machinery itself.
“Yes.”
The invisible natural energy instantly wrapped the tractor like a rice dumpling.
“Ding, the agricultural machinery is being upgraded...”
After a moment, Guo Yang's eyes widened and he saw that the tractor seemed to be reborn.
But after looking carefully for a while, it seemed that apart from being a little newer, it was no different from other old tractors he saw in the project area!
Is the natural energy just repaired?
That’s too much!
If he knew how much it would cost to accumulate a few natural energy points, he could buy as many brand-new machines.
Guo Yang didn't want to believe that the agricultural machinery service at the seed store was so awkward.
So, he climbed into the cab, and the first thing he felt when he sat down was comfort!
But how can domestic tractors at this time be linked to comfort!
On fire.
The engine roared low, like a hidden tiger.
He gently stepped on the accelerator with his right foot. The speed of the power response made Guo Yang feel relaxed and happy. The steering wheel with excellent feel was convenient, precise and flexible to control.
No adaptation process seems to be required.
It seems that the appearance has not changed, but the power, comfort and control make people want to stop after driving it once!
What a show!
