Core Insights - The article highlights the development and testing of lightweight, unmanned agricultural machinery in the hilly regions of Dazhou, Sichuan, aimed at improving agricultural mechanization and adapting to local terrain challenges [1][3]. Group 1: Industry Development - Dazhou has initiated the construction of a modern agricultural machinery equipment industrial park to promote the socialized service of agricultural machinery, achieving a comprehensive mechanization rate of 68% for major crops by the end of last year [1][3]. - The industrial park has signed contracts with 12 enterprises and established 18 production lines, producing 34 types of products, including smart agricultural machinery and agricultural robots [3]. Group 2: Technological Innovation - The unmanned water and dry tillage machine is one-third the size of traditional models, designed for fragmented farmland such as terraced and sloped fields, and can be operated remotely or autonomously [2][3]. - The development of these machines involved overcoming challenges related to compact design and battery sharing systems, particularly ensuring straight-line movement in uneven terrain [2]. Group 3: Market Potential - The market for lightweight modern agricultural machinery is promising, with the Dazhou industrial park focusing on differentiated competition by developing small-scale machinery, which is gaining popularity in various provinces and is also being exported to countries like Canada and New Zealand [3].
