When I met Awuti Simayi in Aksu, he was sitting in the cab of Dongfanghong LX2004, skillfully operating the agricultural machinery. Awuti started driving the “Dongfanghong” in 2019. After several years of running-in, this young man in his early twenties has grown into an experienced old driver.
“The most powerful thing about Dongfanghong is its operating efficiency! Now I can easily complete the task in 8 hours a day, and I feel relieved after finishing the work.” Awuti’s Mandarin with a Xinjiang accent is full of pride. April in southern Xinjiang is the golden period for cotton sowing. The film covering work in the continuous cotton fields is almost finished. He is working with the team to seize the farming time and complete the deep plowing, plant protection and sowing of 1,500 acres of arable land before May. “Thanks to the explosive power of the Dongfanghong engine, the 50-mu plot can be finished at noon.”
“The quality is stable and there is no problem. It is powerful and explosive. It works fast and well, especially when doing heavy work. It is competent for plowing, leveling and sowing various farm work.” The Dongfanghong LX2004 mentioned by Awuti has been used for five years, and its power performance is still stable and reliable. Xinjiang has a vast landform and complex soil types. There are both soft sandy land and some hardened land, but the low-speed and high-torque characteristics of the Dongfanghong engine make the work much easier. “We need to complete the work of 1,500 mu of land in one operation season. When we are busiest, we have to work continuously for more than 10 hours every day. When we are working, we are most afraid of encountering hard land and it is easy to drive. The work efficiency will drop a lot, but this car has been with me for five years, which makes me more and more confident. Just give it a light gas, it is powerful and fuel-efficient.” Awuti added.
Five years have made Awuti very recognized “Dongfanghong”. “Except for normal maintenance, it has basically not been repaired.” Awuti admitted that he usually does not pay much attention to after-sales issues, because the machine has always been very stable and he does not have to worry about it; and there are many “Dongfanghong” service stations, and the parts are easy to find. If there is a problem, it can be solved with just one phone call.
As a professional agricultural machinery driver, Awuti’s “Dongfanghong” has become his favorite. In particular, the Dongfanghong engine makes him more satisfied: “It is powerful, durable, and has good fuel consumption control. Especially for operators like us who work intensively and intensively, the machine must be reliable, and a day’s delay is a loss.”
From the previous agricultural society that relied on the weather for food to the stable production and income increase under modern agriculture today, a good agricultural machine has become an indispensable production tool for operators like Awuti. With its excellent power performance, excellent durability and low maintenance cost, “Dongfanghong” helps operators achieve increased production and income, making life more promising.
