Polish farmers will soon be able to buy a Chinese made combine. Lovol importer Korbanek plans to start selling Lovol Aupax branded machines from 2026.
Two models are currently in tests; the straw walker GV100 for small and medium-sized farms, and the GM100, a single longitudinal rotor combine that is already available in Serbia. Aupax is a reincarnation of the Arbos brand (this name has gone from all global markets), and is the new brand for Lovol products made by the Weichai-Lovol group.
The Chinese manufacturer supplies the four-pot 190hp engine for the GV100, which is mated to a hydrostatic transmission. The cutter bar has a width of 4.57m and the threshing drum has a diameter of 600mm and a width of 1180mm. The four straw walkers cover a total area of 4.11m². Grain tank capacity is 6.0m³, and the auger unloads to a height of 4.5m. The standard spec includes a straw chopper and air-conditioned cab.
There is less information on the GM100, although it is powered by the same Weichai block. In eastern markets, rotary harvesters with a power of around 190hp are popular. The 3.12m long single longitudinal rotor in the GM100 has a diameter of 600mm.
Korbanek president Paweł Korbanek reckons Aupax combines have huge global potential. “Their low price, modernity and simplicity as well as reliability attract farmers all over the world,” he said. “As Korbanek, we see in Aupax a brand that can revolutionize the agricultural machinery market, gaining trust from America to Europe.”
It is not known what plans Weichai-Lovol has for the combines in other parts of Europe or if it will show one of the new Aupax harvesters at Agritechnica in November.
