Must-see for cornfield tillage: Direct Injection Crawler Excavator "saves 30% fuel", 1 day equals 2 traditional machines!

Date: Jul 24, 2025

In the corn belts of Iowa or the vast farmlands of Illinois in the U.S. Midwest, large-area tillage operations are plagued by two problems: the high fuel costs of traditional equipment, and the fluctuation in corn emergence rates caused by uneven tillage depth. And the emergence of Direct Injection Crawler Excavator for farm operations is rewriting farmers' cost accounts with the dual advantages of "fuel efficiency + high productivity".

The pain points of local corn growers are very specific: traditional crawler excavators consume more than $50 in fuel per hour, and for tilling 100 hectares of cornfields, fuel expenses can account for 40% of the operation cost; what's more troublesome is that the tillage depth is uneven (with deviations often reaching 5-8 cm), directly leading to a 10%-15% drop in corn emergence rate. Hengwang HW60 Direct Injection Crawler Excavator farm operation equipment precisely targets these pain points — its high-pressure direct injection fuel system increases combustion efficiency by 25%, with the measured fuel consumption reduced to $35 per hour, perfectly adapting to the "large-area operation + fuel sensitivity" planting scenarios in the U.S. Midwest.

The core advantage of Direct Injection Crawler Excavator in farm operations lies in its ultimate fuel utilization. Hengwang HW60 adopts a Yanmar National IV engine, combined with precisely calibrated direct injection technology, which makes fuel atomization more sufficient. While ensuring a maximum torque output of 193N.m, it avoids the "fuel waste" of traditional models. The practice of American farmer John is most convincing: he used this equipment to till 100 hectares of cornfields, and the daily operation area increased from 8 hectares with traditional models to 12 hectares. The fuel cost was directly reduced by $12,000 compared to last year, "which is equivalent to an additional 500 bushels of corn harvested".

In terms of tillage quality, the performance of Direct Injection Crawler Excavator in farm operations is also impressive. HW60's bucket digging force reaches 45KN, and with the adjustable operation depth control system (accuracy ±2 cm), it can ensure uniform tillage depth, creating a stable growth environment for corn seeds. Tests by the Agricultural Machinery Laboratory of Iowa State University show that the corn emergence rate in plots tilled with this model is 8%-12% higher than that in areas operated by traditional equipment, which means an additional 30-50 bushels of corn can be harvested per hectare.

Why can Direct Injection Crawler Excavator excel in cornfield operations? In addition to direct injection technology, Hengwang's detailed design plays an important role: a 7-inch large screen displays fuel consumption and operation parameters in real time, facilitating dynamic adjustment by growers; a 115L large-capacity fuel tank supports all-day continuous operation, reducing downtime for refueling; the lightweight body (5.9 tons) combined with 35° climbing ability enables stable driving even on sticky soil after rain. These features make Direct Injection Crawler Excavator in farm operations not only a "fuel-saving expert" but also an "efficiency champion".

For corn growers in the U.S. Midwest, choosing Direct Injection Crawler Excavator for farm operations means choosing the dual guarantee of "cost reduction + yield increase". Relying on Hengwang's "four-dimensional integrated" service system, it provides full-process support from equipment commissioning to after-sales maintenance, allowing growers to have no worries.
