In 2026, our straw harvesting and wrapping machine was successfully delivered to a farm in the Netherlands. The project aimed to improve straw collection efficiency, reduce labor costs, and enhance silage storage quality through mechanized baling and wrapping solutions.

Customer Background and Purchasing Motivation
The Dutch customer operates a mixed livestock and forage farm. During harvest seasons, large volumes of straw needed to be collected and processed within a short time. However, they faced several operational challenges:
- Manual straw collection was time-consuming and inefficient.
- Loose straw occupied excessive storage space.
- Inadequate compression led to unstable bale shapes during transport.
- The farm required higher operational efficiency to meet tight harvesting schedules.
Machine Technical Parameters
Based on the farm size and tractor configuration, we recommended the following model:
- Model: ST80×100.
- Machine Weight: 680 kg.
- Required Tractor Power: More than 40 horsepower.
- Overall Dimensions: 1.63 × 1.37 × 1.43 meters.
- Bale Size: Φ800 × 1000 mm.
- Bale Weight: 40–50 kg per bale.
- Working Capacity: 1.3–1.65 acres per hour.
This configuration is ideal for medium-sized farms and ensures stable field performance with efficient straw pickup and baling.
Project Results and Customer Feedback
After implementation, the customer achieved clear operational improvements:
- Field efficiency increased by more than 50 percent compared to manual collection.
- Labor requirements during harvest season were reduced significantly.
- Straw storage became more organized and space-efficient.
- Bale consistency improved overall feed management efficiency.
The customer expressed satisfaction with the machine’s stable performance, durability, and compatibility with existing tractors. They also appreciated our responsive technical support.
Conclusion
The successful export of the ST80×100 straw harvesting and wrapping machine to the Netherlands in 2026 demonstrates our commitment to delivering practical and efficient agricultural equipment solutions. By combining strong field performance with reliable bale formation, we helped the customer modernize straw management and improve overall farm productivity.
