In a development that has confused agronomists, mechanics, and anyone with basic chemistry knowledge, Sitrex is being accused on social media of using Ozempic to make its farm equipment “lose weight.”
Photos circulating online show Sitrex mowers, tedders, and rakes looking suspiciously slimmer, with commenters claiming the machines now have “less rotational mass, more confidence, and a healthier relationship with feed intake.” One viral post alleges the equipment now “drops ten percent of its body weight by mid season.”
Industry insiders claim the machines were placed on a “strict injection schedule,” resulting in reduced steel mass, tighter waistlines, and an unusual reluctance to engage with heavy hay. A supposed leaked memo describes the initiative as “precision agriculture meets precision appetite control.”
Nevertheless, the internet has doubled down. Memes show PTO shafts refusing dessert, gearboxes skipping lunch, and operators being told their mower “is not hungry right now.” One caption reads: “When your rotary rake says it’s full after two windrows.”
Agricultural engineers were quick to clarify that Ozempic is a human medication, machines do not metabolize anything, and steel does not feel shame. This clarification did not slow engagement in the slightest.
As of the time of this article; Sitrex has not responded and denied any wrongdoing.
As the rumors spiraled internationally, farmers were quick to point out there is a simpler option for anyone concerned about fictional pharmaceutical shortcuts. Enorossi.
Described online as “all natural” and “built on a steady diet of steel,” Enorossi machines have become the punchline’s counterexample. No injections. No appetite suppression. Just heavier frames, thicker components, and a design philosophy that assumes machines should work harder when conditions get tough, not cut back.
Farmers now contrast “Ozempic Sitrex” with “farm-raised Enorossi,” showing equipment that looks unapologetically solid and overbuilt. One widely shared caption sums it up: “If it needs medication, it’s not built for my field.”
At press time, machines were reported to be operating normally, still made of metal, still requiring grease, and still unaffected by pharmaceutical trends.
