In the golden rice fields of Cagayan Province, Philippines, Ruth and Melvin Domingo experienced a turning point in their farming journey. This hardworking couple, raising four children, recently welcomed a new "family member" — the LOVOL RG108PLUS combine harvester. With its 100-horsepower engine and ability to harvest rice, wheat, soybean, and more, this all-rounder has completely changed their daily operations. More than just a machine, it's a symbol of hope and a game-changer in modern farming.
A Farm Family's Journey
Ruth Domingo-Agra lives with her husband Melvin in Capanikian village, Sta. Ana, Cagayan. Both grew up in farming households, and today, they continue the tradition while raising livestock like buffaloes, goats, pigs, and chickens. But what truly sustains the household is their expanding fleet of farm machinery.
"We started with just one harvester," Ruth recalls. "But as more clients came, one wasn't enough."
Last year, a friend recommended the LOVOL RG108PLUS , saying it outperformed other brands. They traveled to Isabela Province for a test run — and bought the machine on the spot.
"Our ancestors farmed with hand tools," Ruth says, caressing the machine. "But only with the RG108PLUS did I feel what modern farming really means. Its performance blew us away."
"Since we started using the LOVOL harvester, everything has become easier," adds Melvin. "Our old machine used to get stuck in the mud after rain. This one keeps going, and the grains come out clean and full. It saves us so much time and effort."
Why LOVOL Stands Out in the Field
The rainy season in the Philippines often turns fields into swamps — a nightmare for traditional harvesters. But not for the LOVOL RG108PLUS.
Outstanding Mud-Terrain Performance
"Others can't move in wet fields, but LOVOL keeps working," says Melvin. "Its threshing is also much cleaner with very little loss."
Versatility Across Seven Crops
"We used to worry when switching crops. Not anymore," says Melvin. "From rice in June to corn in December — even sunflowers — the RG108PLUS handles them all."
Key design features built for farmers:
- Rice Mode: 550mm wide tracks for effortless movement in muddy paddies
- Corn Mode: 2050mm extended threshing cylinder for clean separation and low breakage
- Soybean Mode: Patented header ensures over 99% pod integrity
"The 5350mm body turns better than our old one, and the 1250mm track width fits perfectly on our rice dikes," adds Melvin. "It's like this machine was made just for us."
Fuel-Efficient Yet Powerful
"Its 100HP engine hauls 6 tons uphill without struggling," Ruth says proudly. "And it consumes less fuel than our previous one.""We used to repair other brands two or three times a month. This LOVOL? Zero issues for eight straight months," Melvin adds.
Specifications Overview：
Key Component | Technical Specifications | Farmer Experience |
Engine | Renowned 100PS diesel engine | 15% more fuel-efficient than previous machines |

RG108PLUS: Built for Trust
For farmers, machine downtime means lost income. That's why responsive service matters.
"The worst part of buying a machine is poor after-sales," Melvin shares. "But with LOVOL, every time I call, a technician comes the same day. And all the parts are still in perfect condition — nothing like the constant issues we had before."
"Operating this harvester is a breeze," he continues. "I've used many brands, but only LOVOL gives me confidence — strong power, great fuel savings, and real durability."
The Real Impact: More Than Just a Machine
A Better Future for Their Children
Thanks to the RG108PLUS, the couple not only harvests their own fields faster, but also takes on more jobs for neighboring farms — turning machine productivity into tuition fees and daily expenses.
More Income, Less Stress
"We used to work late into the night during harvest," says Melvin. "Now we finish before dark and spend more time with our kids."
"Nothing is more comforting than a machine you can rely on," Ruth says emotionally. "Our yields are higher, work is easier, and our family's future feels more secure. We're truly grateful to LOVOL for the transformation."
