OverviewModel 4GD-1 side-mounted whole-stalk sugarcane windrower is designed for mechanized whole-stalk harvesting in sugarcane growing regions. Mounted on a 120 HP tractor, it performs single-row and wide–narrow-row harvesting in one pass, preserving stalk integrity to meet mills' whole-stalk feeding requirements. Suitable for large-scale farms and independent growers for field harvesting.
Main functions and benefitsThe machine integrates lifting, precision low-cutting, smooth conveying and centralized windrowing to complete the full harvesting sequence in a single pass with a high degree of automation. Precision low-cutting with specially forged cutter blades yields neat, uniform stubs, reducing stalk damage and tearing, minimizing sugar loss and injury to ratoon roots, and promoting better regrowth the following season.
Field adaptabilityAdapted to flat land and gentle slopes, the machine can harvest lightly lodged cane. Hydraulic rotation arranges stalks into neat windrows along the travel direction for easy grab loading and transport, avoiding repeated compaction of cane roots and significantly reducing labor demand.
Operation & maintenanceWith a robust structure, simple operation and easy maintenance, the machine delivers substantially higher working efficiency than manual harvesting and addresses labor shortages, low productivity and high harvesting costs. Recommended equipment for mechanized whole-stalk sugarcane harvesting.
