In the process of cotton harvesting, the closer to the root of the plant, the more hard particles such as sand and dust, and the farther away from the root of the plant, the less hard particles such as sand and dust, resulting in different degrees of wear at different positions of the spindle.Thank you very much for your suggestions. If there are other problems, please contact me in time.Yours,
