A celebration was held in Mukdahan Thailand earlier this month, as the final unit of an order of 23 Samart Predator sugarcane harvester units was delivered to the Saharuang Co. sugar mill.

The delivery of the Predators was just in time for the upcoming crushing season commencing by the end of Ocober. The Predator is a multi-purpose cane harvester that has become successful since its release in 2022. The machine’s ability to work effectively in restricted areas with challenging terrain, as well as high production fields, drove Saharuang’s selection for this application.

Samart Leethirananon, owner and chief designer, commented: “The Predator is a productive sugarcane harvester with a special design. Even so, we are honored that Saharuang has chosen our product for this application. We know that the Predator generates value for our customers. Actually, that is our goal, to help farmers make a good living.”

Predator is part of a range of cane harvester and handling vehicles produced by Samart Kaset Yon Co Ltd in Hankha Thailand.
