Zoomlion unveils 1,600-horsepower 9DX hybrid tractor for large farms
Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. has presented the 9DX, a hybrid tractor with a peak output of 1,600 horsepower that the company describes as the world's most powerful tractor. The model was shown on 26 October at the China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition 2026 and is built for sustained heavy-duty work on very large farms.
- Zoomlion presented the 9DX hybrid tractor on 26 October at the China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition 2026.
- The company calls it the world's most powerful tractor, with a peak output of 1,600 horsepower and 7,200 newton metres of peak torque.
- Hydraulic output is 636 litres per minute, and the four-track system uses 762 millimetre wide tracks.
- More than 230 partners attended the dealer conference on 28 October, and partners from over 20 countries signed trade agreements.
Hybrid drivetrain and technical data
According to Zoomlion, the 9DX uses a digital chassis along with in-house developed core components and control systems. Its hybrid continuously variable transmission technology and an 800-volt dual-motor coupling system deliver a peak torque of 7,200 newton metres. The company says this allows demanding fieldwork with large agricultural implements.
The hydraulic output is 636 litres per minute. Zoomlion states that this supports broadcast spreaders, large tillage equipment and variable-rate fertiliser spreaders.
Tracks and cab designed for long working days
The tractor has a four-track drive system with proprietary tracks that are 762 millimetres wide. According to the company, the design is meant to reduce surface soil compaction. A fully suspended cab with independent suspension is intended to give the driver a smoother ride.
The 9DX expands Zoomlion's portfolio of hybrid agricultural machinery. At the exhibition, the company also showed intelligent machines and implements, precision agriculture technologies, software platforms and smart hardware, illustrating how machines and digital tools can work together on a farm.
Global dealer conference in Changsha
On 28 October, Zoomlion hosted more than 230 partners from around the world at its 2027 Global Agricultural Machinery Dealer Conference at the Zoomlion Smart Industry City in Changsha. The aim was to discuss agricultural technology, products and market opportunities.
Zhan Chunxin, Chairman and CEO of Zoomlion, said agricultural machinery is one of the company's most important strategic business areas. According to the company, it supplies global markets with equipment and operating solutions that cover the full farming cycle, from tillage and sowing to crop management, harvesting and storage.
Visiting partners toured smart factories and test laboratories for agricultural machinery, watched machines and demonstrations of autonomous operation, and visited production sites in Kaifeng and Changde. Test drives of tractors and rice harvesters offered a chance for hands-on evaluation and technical exchange.
Trade agreements and strategy
Partners from more than 20 countries, including Spain, Turkey, Australia, Brazil and Egypt, signed trade agreements with Zoomlion, which the company says reaffirms continued cooperation in the market.
Zoomlion says it is guided by a strategy of "High-End, International und Neue Energien", in the German wording of the release, and will keep advancing agricultural machinery innovation and international market development. Zhan said the company would build on its strengths to offer better products, services and support, develop its industry ecosystem and open up new growth opportunities together with customers and partners.
The release gives no information on pricing, delivery dates or availability of the 9DX. The claim that it is the world's most powerful tractor comes from Zoomlion itself.
