Product Introduction
The self-propelled three-row cotton harvester 4MZD-3 is a new type of modern equipment, independently developed by our company in accordance with market needs and development trends in mechanized cotton growing. Today, modern cotton growers actively use cotton harvesters, which significantly increase labor productivity and reduce crop losses. Like well-known global brands such as the John Deere cotton harvester, the 4MZD-3 combines high efficiency, reliability and ease of use. It is widely used in cotton harvesting in Xinjiang, China's main cotton-producing region, where it has received high ratings from users due to its maneuverability, low failure rate and stable operation.
