Chapter 69 Agricultural Machinery Maintenance
At the seed production base in Hekou Village, Zhang Wei and Cai Bin were driving the Fendt 930 to cultivate the land.
They were both in Jinta County, so they were transferred by Guo Yang to help.
It has snowed several times recently, and the soil surface is covered with snow.
But Fendt 930 still drove smoothly on the land. The sharp plowshare easily cut into the soil, turned it over, and pulled out long yellow dragons on the snow-white ground.
There were also many villagers watching and talking about it.
Children, especially, followed the tractor intently and were completely immersed in it.
They have seen a lot of tractors, but this is the first time they have seen such a handsome machine with such a high operating efficiency.
“This machine works really fast. It looks like it will be finished in a few days.”
“Watch the children closely, the blade looks scary.”
"I heard that this machinery comes to plow the land for free?"
"Village chief, are you really not going to deduct our seed fee when Tianhe sends agricultural machinery to plow the land?"
"No. "Lu Zhaoqiang has answered this question countless times today, but he still explained it to the villagers patiently.
The more Tianhe does, the more it proves that the village committee’s decision-making is wise.
Tianhe's production staff are also watching the scene, mainly responsible for safety and preventing anyone from approaching the agricultural machinery.
"I heard that these two agricultural machines were imported by the boss from abroad."
"Yes, they have already shown their prowess in Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. They can plow 200 acres of land in one hour, and the maximum capacity can be reached in one day. Plow four to five thousand acres!”
“That’s an exaggeration!”
“Yes, our boss, despite his youth, has a lot of potential.”
Because of Hekou before. There is no unified planning for agricultural planting in the village, and a variety of crops are planted in previous seasons.
Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, onions... there are so many varieties, which makes it difficult to prevent and control pests and diseases next year.
This is true whether it is cultivation in a net room or in an open field.
Especially in the north, the damage caused by ‘Southern root-knot nematode’ is very serious.
M. incognita is a very important parasitic nematode with a wide host range and can harm hundreds of species of plants.
Mainly invades and damages plants when they grow roots in spring, causing the absorptive roots and secondary roots to swell and form root knots.
After the disease occurs, the plants form weak seedlings, which affects the yield. In severe cases, flowers and fruits will drop, and the fruits will be small and deformed. In some cases, the entire plant will die.
However, winter temperatures in the north are low. In most areas of the northwest, the daily average temperature is below 0℃ from November to March of the following year.
Normally speaking, all root-knot nematodes will die after being treated at minus 1°C for 7 days.
Therefore, Tianhe's technical department proposed to use the low-temperature freezing method to control root-knot nematodes during the fallow period in winter.
It’s just that root-knot nematodes can overwinter in the soil as eggs or other insect forms. Ordinary methods are useless. You have to plow the ground, turn the root-knot nematodes to the soil surface, and then freeze them for a winter. .
But this season, Hekou Village neither has large-scale farming machinery, nor is it willing to spend money, and it is impossible to plow the land manually in the winter.
At this time, Guo Yang thought of Fendt 930 from Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, and transferred it.
As for the cost, only Tianhe can bear it.
But it’s worth it to reduce pests and diseases in the coming year.
Unlike the open salt-alkali flats, the cultivated land in Hekou Village is not so contiguous.
Therefore, the Fendt 930 is not equipped with a giant hydraulic turning plow with 40 plowshares this time, but with a normal 12 plowshares.
However, the land in Hekou Village is fertile farming soil, so the efficiency of farming is also very fast.
The two of them finished working the land in less than a week.
During this week, Zhang Wei and Cai Bin were the most popular beings among the children in the village. Some extroverted children even went out of their way to please them just so they could ride on the tractor.
Even the adults are happy to chat with the two and brag for a while.
When the two left on the tractor, many villagers watched from a distance.
Seeing the snow being turned into the soil, and the turned out soil slowly freezing, the village chief Lu Zhaoqiang couldn't help but sigh: "Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest!"
Zhang Wei and Cai Bin drove the machinery back to Alfalfa's forage factory. These two Fendt 930s have done a big job for Alfalfa this year.
In addition to plowing the land, these two tractors can also pull other agricultural tools for operations in alfalfa pastures, such as cultivating and weeding, spraying pesticides and fertilizing, etc.
Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry’s forage processing factory has also been built, but the factory’s production line has not yet been assembled. In addition to office and living housing, there are more empty warehouses.
Zhang Wei stuck his head out from the cab and said to Cai Bin: "First wipe off the straw, mud and dust on the machinery outside, and then give all the machinery a major health care later!"
"Okay. You've been talking for so long, but there's still no movement from the agricultural machinery factory that Mr. Guo mentioned?"
"Hey, kid, stop asking about the boss's affairs."
“I’m not in a hurry to expand our agricultural machinery team. I don’t know what happened to the two stone pickers following Professor Weng in Qing Province.”
"I asked last time. Work has stopped a long time ago, and Professor Weng has also returned to school."
The two drove the wiped Fendt 930 into the newly ventilated and dry agricultural machinery warehouse.
Here, a complete set of Claas silage harvesting machinery is neatly displayed.
Lashmowers, rakes, pick-and-balers, self-propelled silage harvesters, mowers, grinders, briquettes and pelletizers.
Zhang Wei jumped down from the cab and said to Cai Bin: "The boss called and said he was at the ranch and would come here right away."
"Huh? It's so sudden. Mr. Guo hasn't been here for a long time."
"Maybe Mr. Xiang went back to his hometown for vacation. Mr. Guo is worried about this place, so he came to take a look."
"Is Mr. Xiang's hometown from Beijing?"
"I just used to work near Beijing, and I heard that his hometown is from GZ Prefecture, Sichuan Province."
While chatting, his hands Didn't let up either.
During this time, the two of them have mastered the use and maintenance of relevant agricultural machinery.
Clean each filter and radiator skillfully, and then carefully check the gearbox oil, running clutch and main clutch friction plates, release bearings, etc., and replace those that need to be replaced.
After a while, Guo Yang walked in, "Where are you taking care of?"
"Boss."
"Mr. Guo."
The two said hello one after another, and Zhang Wei followed up: "It's getting colder and colder. These machines will have to be parked for a month or two, so I thought of doing a major maintenance."
Guo Yang watched Zhang Wei dismantle them. Each spherical bearing, and add lubricating oil from the outer hole.
On the other side, Cai Bin is also removing the battery power cord, removing the battery, pouring out the electrolyte, and fully lubricating the moving parts.
It seems that these two people have been studying hard during this time.
“Does this Claas machine also need to be maintained?” Guo Yang thought that this Claas silage machinery had not yet had time to analyze and the technical data had not been obtained.
In the subsequent production of agricultural machinery, silage machines will definitely be the focus. After all, there are 200,000 acres of pasture here.
"Yes, I have to wipe it down later, and then cover it with a tarp to prevent dust from entering."
"Good job!"
Guo Yang He complimented and then said: "After the maintenance is completed, the two of you will go to Shandong Province to participate in training and inspect the local area."
"Are you planning to build an agricultural machinery factory in Shandong Province?"< br>
"What are you thinking about? The factory must be built in the northwest. Tianhe Company is planning to purchase a batch of agricultural machinery, and next year you will transfer one person to Tianhe."
The two were stunned for a moment, then Zhang Wei asked: "There are not many links in Tianhe's use of agricultural machinery. It can be handed over directly to the agricultural machinery team of Alfalfa. There is no need to separate it."
"At present, vegetable planting and seed production machinery are still relatively backward, and there are no A suitable planting model, so the degree of mechanization is not high."
"The purpose of transferring you is to find problems with the existing machinery and put forward requirements for subsequent research and development of the factory, and to train the team."
“When the agricultural machinery teams of Tianhe and Alghe are mature, they can become independent and establish a specialized agricultural machinery socialization service company.”
After listening to Guo Yang's explanation, the two nodded to express their understanding.
Guo Yang also continued to watch the two people busy, feeling that this scene was particularly relaxing.
Looking at it, Guo Yang couldn't help but step forward and start fucking him.
I don’t know how long it took before a sound came from outside.
“It’s snowing again!”
