Heighted equipment for a walk-behind tractor: which , why, what to pay attention to
Why should we "harness" a walk-behind tractor?
The use of various brands of walk-behind tractors and other small-sized motor vehicles is an indispensable attribute of small, farm and private farms. And the leading role as a small-sized power tool belongs tomotoblocks, which are equipped with various typesmounted guns. The use of walk-behind tractors with tools allows:
- cultivate the soil in homesteads, small areas, gardens and greenhouses;
- sow and plant crops;
- take care of plants during their cultivation;|| |101
- збирати вирощений врожай;
- transport products and cargo, etc.

The main types of plows that are advisable to use with walk-behind tractors are:
- single-body dump plow;
- revolving for smooth plowing;
- rotary with shelves rotating around a vertical axis.
Plow with attachment
High-quality plowing with plows on the basis of walk-behind tractors is provided under the following conditions:
- rectilinear movement of the walk-behind tractor;
- with minimal displacement of the body; :
- правильного регулювання глибини оранки.
З мотоблоками використовують також плоскорізи, які виконують:
- trimming weeds;
- loosening the soil;
- quality preparation of the soil for sowing and planting;
- can be used in inter-row cultivation .
For this purpose, arrow legs or "razors" of different widths are installed on the flat cutter, and their operation is ensured by the traction force of the walk-behind tractor. In addition, flat cutters based on a walk-behind tractor can also be combined withaugers, rippers and other tools depending on the needs.
An interesting tool to note is a needle ripper. -cultivator
For active high-quality loosening of the soil, destruction of weeds, and mixing of fertilizers and plant residues with the soil with walk-behind tractors, cutters that are attached to the walk-behind tractor instead of wheels can also be used. The main types of cutters used with walk-behind tractors are:
- with saber-shaped knives (with right or left sharpening), which work well on light sandy soil (on heavy soils and with significant weediness, significant flaws will be observed);
- "crow's feet", which are considered the most optimal option for developed lands;
- spiral, which is the best option for developing new lands. Such cutters effectively process heavy, clayey and grassy areas. Although such a milling cutter effectively processes the soil, as a result of its raking, a furrow is formed, which must be leveled.
A milling cutter of a typical configuration of light and medium tractors. They often consist of several sections for adjusting the width of the grip
In general, when cultivating the soil with the use of walk-behind tractors, it is necessary:
- correctly adjust and fasten the tools;
- timely clean the working organs of the tools from adhering soil and plant remains. Otherwise, it will lead to a significant increase in energy and fuel costs;
- after starting the walk-behind tractor, before starting work, you should check the oil level and pressure (non-compliance with the requirements may lead to the machine stopping) and warm up the engine for about 5 minutes (this applies to work walk-behind tractor with different tools and at any time of the year); in case of significant wear or damage;
- після закінчення роботи дати попрацювати двигуну на холостих оборотах близько 3…4 хвилин;
- своєчасно заточувати робочі органи знарядь або їх замінювати при значному зносі чи поломці;
- when the wheels slip, it is necessary to replace them with metal ones with hitches or attach an additional load (ballast).
Tool for planting potatoes and caring for plantings
The motoblock is also used for planting potatoes For this purpose, it is mainly equipped with a single-rowpotato planter. When choosing a potato planter for a walk-behind tractor, it is important to pay attention to the presence of:
- conical or rectangular hopper for transporting tubers and fertilizers;
- planter with spoons fixed on a chain or tape. This makes it possible to plant both sprouted and unsprouted tubers;
- transport wheels, which ensures ease of use and maneuverability;
- furrow maker, which ensures the necessary depth of planting tubers;
- дискові загортачі.
On well-loosened soil, it is advisable to use equipment with rubber wheels and a fairly significant ground clearance. In difficult ground conditions, in order to reduce the risk of waterlogging, equipment of lower weight is used.
In addition, tools for caring for potato plantings are used with walk-behind tractors, namely disk or active cultivatorskushniks. In the process of hilling, the walk-behind tractor is driven along the row spacing, and the wings of the hiller pour soil into the root zone. Disc hillers have become the most common for walk-behind tractors. They are simple in design and convenient to use. Depending on the height of the crop, you can change the angle of installation of the discs, and depending on the row spacing and soil conditions, the depth of their movement in the soil. Mowers with a walk-behind tractor are also used when sowing seeds.
Tools for a walk-behind tractor for harvesting
For mowing natural and sown grasses in parks, gardens and meadows, as well as removing the stems of other crops when motoblocks, which are equipped with mowers, are used for harvesting.
The main types of mowers used with motoblocks:
- rotary - for cutting tall stems and on uneven surfaces, but not suitable for work as a lawnmower ;
- frontal - for lawn care, as it can get clogged when working with tall stem crops.
Therefore, when harvesting hay, it is necessary to give preference to a rotary mower for a walk-behind tractor, and for maintenance behind the front lawn. From the point of view of maintenance, the rotary mower is still less demanding compared to the front mower.
Attachment equipment to the motor-block for harvesting potatoes
Motor-blocks are also irreplaceable when harvesting potatoes in auxiliary farms and small-sized farms the fields For this, walk-behind tractors can be equipped withdiggers. The use of diggers allows:
- to dig up a row of potatoes;
- to partially sift fine soil;
- to place the excavated mass in a roll.
Diggers: already not a passive "dolphin", but not yet a harvester... However, there will be less sprinkled with such a digger.
The digging of the row is mainly carried out by a two-shelf body with attached rods. The shape of the body with rods allows you to cut the soil layer with tubers, separate the tubers from the layer, sift the soil and place the tubers in a roll for further picking. But quite often small tubers pass between the rods and are sprinkled with soil. Such diggers can also be equipped with oscillating sieves for active sifting of the soil.
Motoblocks with an engine power of up to 5.5 hp, which are equipped with diggers, allow you to work when harvesting potatoes at a speed of 2...4 km/h and digging depth up to 20 cm. Productivity will be in the range of 0.012...0.083 ha/h.
Diggers based on a walk-behind tractor can also be used for harvesting onions and other root vegetables.
Trailers for walk-behind tractors
The walk-behind tractor can also be used to transport cargo and crops from the garden and field to small distances, albeit with a small but stable speed. For this,trailers with a load capacity of up to 500 kg are attached to the walk-behind tractor. Trailers can be equipped with their own brakes (this allows you to brake with a walk-behind tractor), a seat for the worker and devices for self-unloading or overturning the body.
In addition...
It should be noted that recently on the basis of walk-behind tractors snow plows and rotary brushes up to 1 m wide are used to clean the tiled or asphalt pavement from dirt and fresh snow.
The motoblock is also effectively used with a chopper, which allows you to chop branches of trees and bushes up to 5 cm thick, corn stalks for further animal feeding, and other stem raw materials.
Therefore, it is easy to note that walk-behind tractors with attached implements are indispensable equipment for horticulture, farmers and homesteads.
Peculiarities of choosing a mounted implement for a walk-behind tractor
When choosing a mounted implement for a walk-behind tractor it is necessary to take into account:
- compatibility of the purpose of the walk-behind tractor and attachment;
- correspondence of the motor power of the walk-behind tractor to the power requirement of the attached implement;
- possibility of purchasing a tool that is recommended for a certain brand of walk-behind tractor ;
- the attachment is selected for the walk-behind tractor, not the other way around;
- availability of warranty, the possibility of service and purchase of spare parts;
- the quality of the equipment and its reliability. Quite often, the price itself can indicate the level of reliability of the equipment. Therefore, it is advisable not to buy equipment that is cheaper than a bicycle.
