With the use of industrial equipment in agricultural field, peanut planting industry began to realize the mechanization from the beginning of peanut planting to the deep processing of peanuts.

The following is a brief introduction of peanut planting machinery.

1. Peanut digging plough
The structure of peanut digging plough is similar to the general purpose plough, and it is mostly matched with small four-wheel tractor or walking tractor. Peanut digger has simple structure, low cost and good operation quality with ground drop rate <4%, loss rate <3% and damage rate <1%. It is a kind of Peanut machinery with stable performance and good economic benefit. However, it can only complete the peanut excavation operation. Manual collecting and picking are still needed after excavation, so the working efficiency is not high and it cannot meet the needs of multi-link mechanization operation in the peanut harvest.

2. Peanut recovery machine
The peanuts left over from the harvest process can be separated from the soil and scattered on the ground, and then collected by hand. The peanut recovery machine is the product of high harvest loss rate.

3. Peanut picking machine
The peanut picking machine is a harvesting machine to pick the peanut pods from peanut seedlings. It can be divided into full feeding and half feeding types.

4. Peanut combine harvester
The peanut combine harvester can collect the peanuts laid on the ground directly and complete the following fruit picking and cleaning operation. The peanut combine harvester can complete the whole process of excavation, soil clearing, peanut picking, separation, collection and seedling treatment.

With the adjustment of agricultural industrial structure and the gradual rise of peanut price in recent years, the planting area of peanut is expanding. The mechanization of agricultural production is an inevitable requirement for the development of modern agriculture. With the acceleration of urbanization and the aging of population, the shortage of labor force in agricultural production has emerged. The growing area of peanut and the decreasing agricultural population inevitably require the mechanization of peanut cultivation.
