Some manufacturers of well-known motoblocks offer to purchase ready-made conversion kits. For the manufacture of a mini-tractor, they produce kits, which include:
- bearing frame;
- protective cover for belts;
- wings;
- brake cylinder with reservoir;
- levers that block the axle shafts;
- brake drum;
- support disk;
- steering column;
- earring.
Similar kits are produced by Ukrainian and Chinese manufacturers. From them, you can assemble a mini-tractor at half the price of buying it ready-made.
Installing the plow on a walk-behind tractor: step by step
Before attaching the plow to the walk-behind tractor and starting to set it up, the traction unit itself must go through a number of preparatory procedures. They boil down to:
- transportation of the walk-behind tractor to where it will be used;
- dismantling the wheel drive, which is replaced by lugs. Otherwise, the equipment will start to slip and may get stuck.
Once these requirements have been met, the installation of the plow can begin.
It means:
- fastening the plow to the hitch of the walk-behind tractor with nuts, which will allow in the future to independently set its operating parameters;
- prepare two fixing pins with which to attach the couplings and plow to the shackle.
This completes the task of installing the plow and you can proceed to the next one.
Models
From the rich list of devices for a walk-behind tractor, there are several options that are popular with buyers.
- "HorsAM IS" is a rather powerful lifting mechanism, equipped with a multifunctional blade, large luggage racks in front and behind. Has an oversized trailer, robust plow, cultivator and hiller.
- "APM-350" is a rear-type model with a non-galvanized dump body and band brakes, made on a frame with two locks.It weighs approximately 92 kg and has a wide wheel spacing.
- "AM-650" is a motoblock adapter with brakes and an adjustable seat. Equipped with a rear lifting mechanism, suitable for all models of motoblocks (both domestic and imported).
- "KTZ 03" is an all-wheel drive front motoblock adapter operating according to the 4x4 scheme (with all-wheel drive), having a rigid coupling with the motoblock. Equipped with a soft seat with a rigid attachment, but without longitudinal adjustment.
- "AM-2" is a universal option for agricultural work. Has a steering, two pedals for setting the clutch and engaging reverse gear. Provides for the installation of attachments.
- "PM-05" is an arable-driving module, which implies work with attachments: a mower, a snow blower and a hiller. Has a trailed seat and a working speed of up to 10 km / h.
We make an adapter for a walk-behind tractor with our own hands
At the moment, there are several varieties of the adapter, as a rule, their designs are similar, and are, attached to the back of the walk-behind tractor, adapted with a comfortable seat.
The adapter is made of a square metal profile, with a length of 160 to 180 cm. Across this profile, another one is welded, 50-60 cm in size, depending on which track you need, (wheel stands are attached to it). The height of the struts to the wheel axle from the top to the adapter wheel axle can be from 25 to 40 cm, depending on the design.
Further, braces are welded to the main metal profile and wheel hubs, they also serve as stiffeners. Their length depends on the angle of inclination relative to the entire structure and other parameters. Then, the frame structure is calculated and welded in the same way, to which the attachment will be attached. Side rails of this design are bolted to the wheel struts.
After that, a control lever is welded to the main frame, which has three knees, measuring 35, 55, 20 cm.To increase the applied force, another lever is attached to the lever, but already 80 cm in size.
Adapter seat, mounted on a support welded to the central metal profile. As you can see, making an adapter to a walk-behind tractor with your own hands is not so difficult.
The purpose of the adapter
Here, I think everything is clear, there is a fairly large amount of work on the ground, which is easier, faster and more convenient to do with an adapter. And working with such attachments as a rotary tiller is generally safer.
Diagram of the design of the adapter to the walk-behind tractor
The adapter for the walk-behind tractor is a kind of towing device made on the frame and having two wheels. Structurally, adapters are divided into several types, in terms of simple, they can be simple and more complex. The main types are considered universal, these are those that are able to transport goods and perform soil cultivation, and simple ones, capable of only processing the soil.
For motoblocks of different power, different adapters are used, for a low-power one, an adapter with a short drawbar is installed, for a powerful one with a long one. Also, universal adapters are equipped with additional functionality, increasing the track, lifting attachments, etc.
Specifications
The trailer, which is very often called a trolley, is used to transport goods, as well as complete with a walk-behind tractor as a vehicle. The movement speed of the trolley coupled to the walk-behind tractor is 10 kilometers per hour. This device not only allows you to transport cargo over difficult terrain, but also enhances the stability of the walk-behind tractor. In general, the standard dimensions of bogie bodies are as follows: 1.5 m in length, 1 m and 15 cm in width, as well as a height of 27-28 cm. four basic device models.
- It can be a single-axle dump truck capable of carrying up to 250 kilograms of cargo. The trailer weighs 56 kilograms, its length corresponds to 110 centimeters, and its width is 90 centimeters. The height of the sides of such a cart reaches 35 centimeters.
- There is a two-axle chassis trolley carrying 500 kilograms of cargo. She herself weighs 40 kilograms. The height of the sides of the trolley is the same as that of a uniaxial one, however, like all other parameters.
- For the "Neva", the TMP trolley is suitable, on which it will be possible to take away 250 kilograms. The structure itself weighs the most - as much as 150 kilograms. The trolley is 133 centimeters long, 110 centimeters wide, and the sides are thirty centimeters high.
- There is a TMP-M trolley. She herself weighs 85 kilograms, and her carrying capacity is 150 kilograms. The sides in this case reach a height of 25 centimeters, a length of 140 centimeters, and a width of 82.5 centimeters.
