Wheat sowing season: Direct Injection Crawler Excavator "precision sowing" increases emergence rate from 85% to 95%!

Date: Jul 24, 2025

In the main wheat-producing areas of the Paris Basin in France, farmer Pierre faces a problem every year: sowing 50 hectares of wheat fields with traditional machinery not only results in a sowing depth error of more than 5cm, leading to an emergence rate of only 85%, but also requires additional hiring of people for reseeding; using manual labor requires 2 people to spend 5 days, which sharply increases the cost. Until last year, when Hengwang HW220-9 Direct Injection Crawler Excavator farm operation equipment was introduced, this dilemma was completely changed — sowing was completed in 3 days, the emergence rate increased to 95%, and the labor cost alone was saved by $8,000. In core wheat-producing areas such as the Rhine Plain in Europe,  HW220-9 is redefining the standards of Direct Injection Crawler Excavator farm operations with "precision + high efficiency".

The reason why HW220-9 can be competent for wheat precision sowing lies in the coordination of its electronic control hydraulic system and efficient power. Equipped with a Cummins 6BTAA5.9 engine (133kw power) and combined with electronic control negative flow technology, the hydraulic response speed is increased by 30%, which can strictly control the sowing depth error within 1cm, perfectly matching the optimal sowing depth requirement of 3-5cm for European wheat. Its main pump adopts Kawasaki K3V112DT (HW220-9A) or Hengli V90N130RH1 (HW220-9B), with stable flow and low pressure loss, ensuring uniform force when the sowing shovel sows seeds, avoiding the "clusters of deep and shallow" problem caused by pressure fluctuations in traditional machinery. This is the key for Direct Injection Crawler Excavator farm operations to break through the precision bottleneck.

As a versatile tool for Direct Injection Crawler Excavator farm operations, the multi-attachment quick-change capability of HW220-9 is also suitable for wheat sowing scenarios. With the equipment's quick-change head device, the sowing shovel, soil-covering shovel and can be replaced within 3 minutes, realizing the whole process of "sowing - soil covering - compaction". In the clay soil area of Bavaria, Germany, farmers found that replacing with narrow sowing shovels can avoid gravel in the field, and using wide can enhance soil moisture retention. This flexible adaptability makes HW220-9 more advantageous than traditional seeders in complex plots, and further expands the application scenarios of Direct Injection Crawler Excavator farm operations.

Fuel efficiency is another highlight of HW220-9. Its three-stage reinforced fuel filtration system uses nano-level filter elements, combined with the full combustion characteristics of direct injection technology. The measured fuel consumption per hour is 20% lower than that of traditional machinery, only 38 Euros. Pierre has calculated an account: for sowing 50 hectares of wheat fields, the fuel cost of HW220-9 is 2,300 Euros less than that of the traditional equipment used last year. Coupled with the reduction in labor costs, the comprehensive benefit has improved significantly. The intelligent monitoring system equipped with the equipment can also display parameters such as sowing depth and traveling speed in real time, making every step of Direct Injection Crawler Excavator farm operations controllable and traceable.

Relying on Hengwang's "four-dimensional integrated" service system, the after-sales guarantee of HW220-9 is also in line with farm needs — from attachment calibration before sowing, to technical support during operation, and then to quick supply of parts, it responds to farmers' needs throughout the process. As Pierre said: "When the technician came to debug, he adjusted the hydraulic pressure according to the soil moisture, and even calibrated the sowing spacing to the optimal value. This is truly a farm-friendly equipment."

It is currently the critical period for wheat sowing in Europe. If you are also worried about sowing precision and efficiency, you may focus on HW220-9, this powerful tool for Direct Injection Crawler Excavator farm operations. Now make an appointment for the "wheat sowing attachment debugging service", leave your phone number, and a local technician will be arranged to visit for free to customize sowing parameters according to your plot conditions. Hengwang HW220-9, let every seed take root precisely. Come and consult for a quote to lay a solid foundation for a bumper harvest!
