The model is distinguished by its quality and durability.
The procedure for connecting additional attachments
For the rational installation of attachments, special accessories are used: suspensions, wheels, brackets. Before installing additional attachments, first remove the engine from the cultivator. To do this, remove the casing, unscrew the nuts and bolts of the fasteners, remove the V-belt. Next, remove the throttle lever, then remove the motor and install the bracket and suspension.
Hitch
Universal hitch STs-00010
To connect various additional mounted attachments in the cultivator, two types of coupling mechanisms are used: adjustable and non-adjustable. Non-adjustable couplings fix the hitch without the possibility of adjusting the angle of movement, cheaper in cost. Adjustable devices provide the required angle of attack.

Trailer
The cart is attached to the suspension by means of a kingpin, and instead of rotors, drive wheels are installed, after removing or lifting the transport wheels. In this case, the coulter is removed.

Pumping unit
The pump is connected to the bracket, in this case the belt is the drive. As with connecting a trailer, it is necessary to install wheels instead of cutters, and remove or fix the transport wheels in the uppermost position.

Cutters
Soil milling cutters plow the soil without turning the soil layer. The standard diameter is 33 cm. They are mounted on the cultivator shaft.
For processing light and medium soils, one or two pairs of cutters are used; for processing virgin lands, 3 nozzles can be installed on each side.
Milling cutter
Some owners create their own cutters to increase the tillage depth. There are unique homemade products with a diameter of almost 0.5 m.However, as experience shows, such improvements are not advisable both from the point of view of the technical capabilities of the Krot motor-cultivator and on the basis of the peculiarities of the agricultural technology of soil cultivation.
Before plowing, the transport wheels are raised, and the opener is installed on the trailed bracket. Thus, the attachments will provide forward movement with simultaneous soil cultivation, and the opener will regulate the level of immersion in the soil.
Cutters "Hound's feet"
Different types of cutters are used depending on the quality of the soil. For heavy, dense soils, the crow's feet model is the best option, for less hard soils, conventional saber cutters are suitable. They can be made in various shapes - three-lobed and four-lobed.
Plow
The plowing of the garden can also be done with a plow; for its installation, the following manipulations are carried out: the cutters are removed and metal lugs are installed in their place, the opener is removed. At the rear, a reversible plow is connected by means of a special hitch.
Hiller
Similarly, to carry out the hilling of crops, metal lugs are installed, and in the back of the Mole cultivator, a hiller is installed.
Rotary mower
For mowing grass on lawns or for making hay, the transport wheels are reinstalled on the gearbox shaft, and the pulleys of the mower and cultivator are connected by a belt drive.
Rotary mower
All attachments are supplied with passports with technical documentation, so it will not be difficult for owners to carefully familiarize themselves with the connection features of various types of additional attachments.
Main characteristics
Motoblock "Neva" is used for secondary tillage. The design provides a shank that pierces the soil, catches it and turns it over. From a constructive point of view, technology refers to machines that use the rotary movement of discs or teeth. The rotary cultivator of this range is a perfect example.
Tillers are used before sowing or after the crop has begun to grow to remove weeds. Thus, the disturbance of the soil layer near the plants, controlled by the operator, kills unnecessary plants, uproots them. Serrated Neva products are often similar in shape to chisel plows, but they have different purposes. The technique works close to the surface while the plow is deep below the surface.
All units of the company can be described as compact equipment with a low center of gravity.
All models are equipped with a Subaru engine, and with it an electronic switching system is installed. All units have a front wheel for transition, and compact dimensions allow transporting the walk-behind tractor in the trunk of a car.
The wattage may vary depending on the model. This figure ranges from 4.5 to 7.5 horsepower. The working width is from 15 to 95 cm, the immersion depth of the cutters is up to 32 cm, most often the volume of the fuel tank is 3.6 liters, but on some models it reaches 4.5 liters.
The gearbox is installed in Neva walk-behind tractors, three-stage and V-belt. Such equipment works on AI-95 or 92 gasoline, other fuel cannot be used.
In some motoblocks there is an engine with a cast-iron sleeve, in the design of a simpler technique, one forward speed and the same backward. There are multi-speed units in which you can switch between three speeds. Most motoblocks are capable of replacing a small tractor; they can not only cultivate the soil, but also transport various loads. Such a technique is capable of accelerating from 1.8 to 12 kilometers per hour, respectively, the models have a different engine.
On average, a semi-professional engine is designed to work without breakdowns up to 5 thousand hours. The case, made of aluminum, protects against moisture and dust.
The maximum weight of the walk-behind tractor reaches 115 kilograms, while this model is capable of carrying loads weighing up to 400 kilograms.
PLOW TO A MOTORBLOCK FOR TWO BODIES. Dimensions and workmanship
Obviously, the equipment should be adjusted for the track width as well. For this purpose it is necessary to check how the plow coulter is positioned. Its right edge should be in line with the inner edge of the right wheel. So the plow will cut the ground evenly and simply roll it off. The entire walk-behind tractor will go easier.
What, in fact, is how they plow the ground with a walk-behind tractor, let's talk a little below. At the beginning, let's find out what other preliminary measures, besides hanging the wheels and the plow, need to be done.
Before starting the operation of loosening the soil, it is worth pulling an approximate cord along the first row of the plot. Seasoned plowmen are completely different and skip this step. Beginners should certainly perform this operation. There is that during plowing, at least some plow leads a little to the right. Therefore, it is very difficult to make the row completely even. The cord will help you stay on course.
Starting from the second, what remains to be done for our client, you can do the rows without using additional guides, since the wheel of the walk-behind tractor will go along the furrow.
What you need, the walk-behind tractor is prepared. Now proceed to the actual procedure of loosening the soil in this area.To make fewer turns, it is worth plowing the land with a walk-behind tractor along the long side of the plot.
The handle of the walk-behind tractor should be slightly turned at the base to the left. In this case, it is possible to walk on the not yet plowed strip, which, of course, is even more convenient.
And well, now it is necessary to figure out how the earth is plowed with a walk-behind tractor correctly. This procedure is performed in this way:
- The tiller is installed at the beginning of the strip and goes along the stretched cord.
- If the row is passed, they turn around in such a way that the right wheel of the walk-behind tractor is opposite the furrow of the already plowed strip.

Gearbox tools
Please note that you must not forget to change the oil in the gearboxes. If this moment is missed, after a while the additives lose their properties.
To increase their service life, their performance must be protected with oil. Failure to replace it in a timely manner can cause the product to foam, as a result of which the gearbox will jam.
Before changing the oil, you need to check the previous level, then remove the dipstick and clean it with a soft cloth. The monoblock gearbox must be filled with oil at a medium level.
Oil is the key to long-term operation of the gearbox. In search of the best product, be sure to read the instructions
It is important to consider the conditions under which it will be used. The most popular is the oil of the Motul trademark, which is used by almost all owners of motoblocks
