Photo review of Forte MT-161LT motorcycle tractor
We offer you a photo review of the popular and inexpensiveForte moto-tractor MT-161LT.
This fairly new model of moto-tractor is an efficient and reliable machine for cultivation of large areas. A tractor gearbox with a differential ensures independent rotation of the drive wheels with different angular speeds when turning the tractor and when moving over bumps. Complete with a 1.2 m tractor cutter that works in floating mode.
Thanks to the liquid cooling system, the tractor will be able to work without overheating even in the heat. It has a good, powerful 15 hp diesel engine.
The tractor's good cross-country ability and mobility are ensured by large wheels that can easily pass through any road conditions. Good quality factoryrubber on wheels.
Suitable for soil preparation,seeding of agricultural crops ,harvesting grains, planting, hoeing, harvesting hay, transporting heavy loads and other work.
View of the tractor from different sides:
Вигляд трактора з переду. Бачимо можливість кріплення обтяжувачів з переду, бо в заводській комплектації нема...
View of the tractor from the right side.
View of the tractor from the left side along the way. The main belt drive is clearly visible.
View of the tractor from the back. We can see the hydraulic cylinder for operations with the attachment and the transmission for its drive.
The very tag of the tractor. It's nice and easy to look at, but the location on the main gear cover, which can be replaced, often suffers from all sorts of problems, and the nameplate on 4 thin aluminum rivets...
More details in a circle:
The view of the tractor from the right side in the part where the engine is located. The structure of the steering gear is clearly visible, access to control the oil level and fuel filter.
Rear lighting is also of high quality, as for the price of this model. The rear working field is also illuminated when reversing. And if necessary, you can easily add turning them on when necessary with an additional toggle switch on the panel. But use electric switches of the appropriate degree of protection (the tractor is not always under a canopy)
View of the tractor from the left side, the main gear. The muffler is actually placed in front of the operator. There will be no particular problems when moving, but when parking with the engine running, we "breathe more deeply".
Flywheel, main gear... But for the muffler, the place is so-so, given the lack of a cabin...
Operator's workplace, view from the left side. There is a tool box at hand (and a lock will not hurt it). The possibility of changing the track width of the rear wheels is clearly visible. And also - it is clear that the tractor has not yet undergone pre-sale preparation - the front fenders are not mounted (on the seat), some things are still in the film.
The same from another angle. Pay attention to the tag on the tractor itself - on the transmission casing.
A view of the tractor with the hood up.
Underhood space: light equipment maintenance is easy to get to:
View of the method fastening of the hood and access to the front lighting equipment. Please note, during the inspection, I really liked the quality and locations of the wire connections and the connectors themselves throughout the tractor.
The main drive, the location of the starter and the selection for the generator, which is protected in the underhood space, are clearly visible.
The hood is up, the dvingung is in the palm of your hand.
The location of the electrical equipment (low risk of dirt) and access to it is well implemented. This photo also clearly shows the ability to adjust the width of the front track.
Engine, view from the left side. Flywheel, box and generator drives. As you can see, replacing the starter is a matter of minutes.
Because such things also happen...(the next photo is the location of the generator in the Garden Scout minitractor with a capacity of 18 hp)
Indeed, you will not find a better place for a generator! Nothing to do with mud when driving in a deep rut...
And now let's walk through the engine (as well as previous photos):
The engine nameplate with characteristics and serial number (right side along the way , on the engine, slightly under the hood, but easily read without lifting it)
Engine, left view.
Fuel nozzles. Available stickers what and where:
View of the engine from above. Easy access to the necks.
All explanatory labels and stickers are present. So you can not read the manual... And also fasteners for dismantling the engine for replacement / repair
Operator's seat: austere, but everything is at hand, although the gearbox switch would be better on the right side.
Operator's seat, view of the steering wheel. The protective cover of the main belt drive causes some inconvenience on the left side near the feet, but you can't do without it.
Block of control pedals. Everything is standard.
View of the steering wheel.
An ascetic set of instruments on the panel. There is a counter of engine hours.
Controls for the transmission and rear clutch.
Controls for the box and hydraulics (the hydraulic pump is located under the seat and is driven from the box), the steering column is mechanical (that is, everything is in the strong hands of the operator).
In general, there is a base, and there is something to put your hands to in order to organize your comfort and efficient work. And in the end, to have a good helper in the household and a means of additional income during the season.
