My tractor fleet consists of one 18-strong Fighter who successfully manages the maintenance of a 3.2 hectare potato field. There are no special complaints about the engine and chassis, the gearbox needs a thorough revision. In addition, the build quality of the rotary tiller leaves much to be desired. Kirill Vasilievich

The new Fighter has worked a little over 400 hours. I operate the car without excessive loads, so there have been no significant failures and malfunctions in a year and a half. The disadvantages are a low-power generator and a hard-to-remove backlash in the ends of the steering rods. Both are treated by replacing components from the Zhiguli repair fund. There is not enough complete information on self-elimination of failures and malfunctions, everything has to be comprehended at the level of intuition. Vladimir

Appointment

One of the main advantages of this machine is, of course, versatility. Thanks to this indicator, the technique is used in many areas of activity, namely:

Farming and private households. Here, the mini tractor is equipped with appropriate equipment, which allows you to carry out such work as plowing light soil, cultivation, harrowing, hilling, tillage before sowing, sowing grain crops and planting root crops, processing vegetables and other crops, harvesting grown products, harvesting dry vegetation, mowing hay and other plants, transportation, as well as watering.
Communal services. The T-15 scout is not used very often in public utilities, but it is still being used. The technique is especially in demand when removing snow and debris from small sites, including street and yard, cleaning from various contaminants, as well as when transporting and mowing lawns.
Construction. In this area, a mini tractor is often paired with stationary units, such as a concrete mixer. But in addition to this, the equipment is equipped with other equipment that allows transporting work, leveling the site, backfilling trenches and small pits, and much more.
Gardening. In gardens, a mini tractor is mainly used for processing any kind of plants, fertilizing, or for transportation. Here the car is especially in demand, since it has quite good maneuverability, which allows you to work in very cramped conditions.
Livestock raising.The main purpose of the Scout T-15 mini-tractor in animal husbandry is the preparation of feed. Also, the model is used to transport various goods, which include hay, feed and much more.

Attachments

For this model, all the units necessary to perform a wide range of tasks are provided. the mini tractor can be equipped with both attachments and trailed equipment, however, attachments are in the greatest demand. The equipment is often equipped with:

Various single-body plows.
Various multi-body plows.
Cultivators.
Various hillers.
Harrows.
Sprayers.
Hay mowers and conventional mowers.
Potato diggers and potato planters.
Tedder rake.
Cross rake.
Various dumps and brushes used for cleaning small areas from snow and dirt.
Rotary tillers.
Seeders.
Grain seeders.
Spreaders of any kind of fertilizer.

Attachment overview

The functionality of mini tractors is significantly increased due to the addition of additional attachments. Some attachments can be obtained as a set upon purchase (a rotary tiller or a plow), others will have to be purchased on their own. However, every owner of this technique should be aware of its capabilities.

Cutters, cultivators, harrows, cultivators

The basic attachments for Fighter mini tractors are cutters. They mix the top fertile soil layer, thereby increasing the fertility.

Tilling the soil with milling cutters has one drawback - after that, piles of soil remain. To get rid of them, it is recommended to re-treat the surface with harrows.

If there is no desire to travel twice across the field, then milling cutters with harrows can be replaced with one attachment - a cultivator. They not only lift the bottom layer of the soil up, but immediately break up the boulders.

Wide-row weeding tool

Cultivators are mainly used for marking beds for further sowing of crops.

Plow

If it is necessary to dig up virgin soil, it is better to use a plow. He plunges into the ground for a greater distance. The cutters simply cannot go deep into hard rock and constantly jump over areas.

Plowing is best done with a reversible plow, it has a special shape of a share, on which the ground initially turns over several times, and only then leans to the side.

Trailers and trolleys

Fighter mini tractors are distinguished by their high engine power, which allows you to transport goods weighing more than one and a half tons. However, this requires a trailer.

The Chinese manufacturer recommends using dump trailers, since unloading can be done by simply lifting the body, thereby saving a lot of time and effort on this procedure.

Mowers and rakes

Fighter mini tractors have one more feature: the ability to connect 2 attachments at once. This can play into the hands of the owners. For example, a mower and a rake.

The manufacturer offers to purchase rotary mowers that cut grass using rotating knives. This option of attachments can clean the area from large weeds and medium shrubs.

Rake "Sun"

To immediately collect the cut grass, you can use a rake, thereby leaving an open field without grass.

Potato digger and potato planter

Working with potatoes requires a lot of time and physical effort. Mini tractors Fighter can make this work easier thanks to attachments: potato digger and potato planter.

The potato planter is a single structure consisting of a plow (he makes a trench), a tank (where the potatoes are poured and fed from there) and a hiller (which buries the track).

The simplest version of the potato digger is the plow, but you need to be careful when working with it, as it cuts a large amount of potatoes. To prevent this, you can use a professional potato digger. She picks up the bottom layer of the earth along with the fruits, sifts them on a roar, and leaves the fruits whole on the ground.

Snow blower and blade shovel

In the winter season, Fighter mini tractors help with snow removal. Thanks to the possibility of installing a shovel blade in the front, you can easily remove roads and roadside areas from snow.

Utilities often use snow blowers for cleaning territories; they allow you to throw a layer of snow cover at a distance of 10-15 meters.

Spreader

The spreader disperses seeds or can be used to sprinkle sidewalks and roadways in winter when icing occurs.

Grader

The rear grader is used for landscaping, effectively leveling the ground or other embankments. Its advantage is that it pulls bulk materials along with it, and does not push them in front of it.

User manual

Service

Before each departure, it is necessary to visually check the integrity of the Fighter minitractor. In addition, it is imperative to make sure that there is fuel and oil, make sure that the clutch, brake system and steering are working properly.

The engine oil must be changed every 80 hours of operation of the Fighter mini tractors. Semi-synthetic versions 10W-40 should be used as fresh oil during the period.
Transmission oil should be changed only once a year or every 1000 operating hours. The operating instructions recommend using the time-tested Tap-15V or Tad-17i.

First start-up, running-in and winter storage

Before proceeding with the assembly, it is necessary to study the instruction manual. It contains descriptions, drawings and assembly plans.
After that, pour oil and gasoline into the corresponding compartments.
For the first 8 hours, the fighter must work in the break-in mode. During this period of time, it is not allowed to put heavy loads on the motor.
It is recommended to run in with an empty trailer or use cutters at minimum immersion (up to 5 cm). During this time, the engine parts will be lubricated and securely fit into the grooves.
At the end of the break-in period, the engine oil must be changed.

If you do not plan to use the Fighter mini-tractor for more than 2 months, then it must be preserved. To do this, put the device in a garage (or any other room protected from sunlight and atmospheric precipitation), drain the gasoline and oil (during this time they will accumulate moisture and become unusable), and also lubricate the gearshift levers (so that during downtime they didn't jam).

Major faults and repairs

In the instructions for using the Fighter mini tractors, ways of solving the main malfunctions are given. And every owner should know.

If the clutch does not transmit torque:

There is no pedal free play (you need to adjust it);
The drive discs are worn out (they need to be replaced);
The discs on the splines are sticking (check their position and, if necessary, remove the jam).

If the attachment does not rise:

The oil level in the hydraulic system has dropped below the minimum mark (add oil);
The hydraulic pump is off (turn it on);
Hydraulic safety valve hangs up (disassemble and clean valve).

If the engine does not work stably, then here are the possible reasons

The fuel level has dropped below the minimum mark (it is necessary to top up);
Stretching the belts (must be correctly aligned);
Clogged fuel or air filters (clean them);
The carburetor is clogged due to dirt (it must be disassembled, washed and cleaned);
Problems with the ignition system (most often the plug comes off, or it has become unusable).

If braking the Fighter minitractor is not effective:

Pedal free travel has increased (adjust its position);
The brake disc or pad is worn out (replace the corresponding parts).

Technological features

Domestic farmers can replenish their range of equipment with the Chinese Fighter mini-tractor only through official dealers. Direct sales are not made. Motor-tractors differ from competitive products by their modern design, in which the Chinese can be considered the first, as well as by a well-developed design of each mechanical unit, a high level of motor resource of the power unit and gearbox.

All products are equipped with a tractor gearbox, which has an individual positive locking system. Such special equipment allows you to significantly expand its functionality, since it was equipped with a lock for additional attachments.

As accessories, you can use rotary tillers, harrows, agricultural plows, root planters, seeders, trailers for transporting cargo and much more. With the help of these elements, the user will be able to carry out almost the entire range of agricultural work of average complexity.

Model range and prices for Fighter mini tractors

The manufacturing company offers a small range of Fighter mini tractors. Each option has individual technical characteristics and operational features. To find the most suitable option, we will consider each offer separately.

Faiter T 22

The small-sized special equipment T 22 with a rotary tiller differs from the previous version of the T15 in increased power and productivity. The design includes a power unit ZS1115 with a rated power of 20 hp. with. and a motor resource of 4000 hours. Thanks to these values, the user will forget about the repair of special equipment for a long time. The volume of the engine cylinder is 1115 cm3, and its diameter is 11.5 cm, the stroke of the piston system is 12 cm.

The gearbox is equipped with a planetary differential, which helps to reduce the turning radius. This eliminates the possibility of premature tire wear. When turning, one wheel will move in the opposite direction, thereby reducing the turning radius, but when working with the drawbar, the drive axle will lock.

The hydraulic device of the Faiter T22 tractor has a 2-way valve with 4 positions - raising, lowering, floating position and locking. It is also possible to use two attachments at the same time or use more complex attachments driven by a hydraulic pump.

Features of the device

the Rusich T-224 minitractor is equipped with an eight-speed manual gearbox with two ranges (low and high). The gearbox used has six forward gears and two reverse gears. Gear shifting is carried out without any jerks, which is facilitated by a single-plate clutch. The equipment is also equipped with a single-speed PTO shaft operating at 540 rpm. This element, in conjunction with a three-point hitch, allows the use of a wide variety of attachments, which makes the technique effective in almost any type of work.

The designers have designed the workplace specifically for long-term operation without any interruptions. Consequently, the main emphasis was placed on convenience and comfort for the driver, which in the end was realized. The installed chair is equipped with several settings, the main control levers are located very conveniently and do not require much effort to carry out any actions, the same goes for the steering,since a hydraulic booster was installed here. The dashboard minitractor Rusich T-224 contains everything you need only. Moreover, the available sensors are located in the most inspected area and are highly informative. The tractor was equipped with a powerful lighting system, which, together with an excellent viewing angle, allows you to use the machine at any time of the day. Also, side lights are used for safe movement on public roads, since due to the relatively small dimensions, the equipment may not be noticed in the dark.

The popularity of the mini tractor and its high demand were due not only to good performance indicators, but also to a very affordable cost. If we compare the Rusich T-224 mini-tractor with other similar models, then this machine is somewhat cheaper and at the same time has almost the same technical characteristics.

The advantages of the model were often stated by the owners in numerous reviews. Basically, they pointed to the following:

The minitractor has high cross-country ability and excellent maneuverability, which is achieved due to the functioning of the lockable center differential of the drive axle wheels.
The equipment is aggregated with a variety of different trailed and attached equipment. Moreover, you can also use some units designed for other models, which is undoubtedly a big plus.
The machine differs from its counterparts in a significantly increased level of maintainability, reliability and efficiency, both in terms of operation and in terms of maintenance.
The improved power plant has very good traction performance and relatively low fuel consumption.

Reliability

As described earlier, the Rusich T-224 mini-tractor came out as a very reliable special vehicle.

This is due to the fact that in addition to the use of high-quality materials, the manufacturer also pays attention directly to the very process of manufacturing certain elements. Moreover, all stages of the production of equipment take place under strict control, which guarantees high quality and reliability of products.

Repair features

By simplifying the design of the model, the owner is given the opportunity to independently carry out maintenance and check the main components. All spare parts can be purchased both in specialized services and on the Internet, which is quite convenient. Compared to other machines, the components for this model have a fairly affordable price, which further reduces the cost of servicing the equipment.

Mini tractor Fighter T-15

The Fighter T-15 minitractor was presented on the Russian markets of budget tractor special vehicles. In just a couple of weeks, this technique has become very popular. It should be noted that the model has become one of the leaders in the consumer demand rating. The mini-tractor itself was developed by Chinese specialists, but all stages of the assembly are carried out at industrial enterprises in Russia. The purpose of creating a tractor was the ability to operate in a limited working space, which was exactly what was implemented, since the equipment has a rather compact size.

The design of the Fighter T-15 perfectly combines the manufacturer's many years of experience in the use of such special equipment and its own innovative developments, which just made it possible to provide the machine with increased performance.

For the most part, a great demand for this technique was achieved due to modern technical characteristics, affordable cost, versatility, as well as economy, both in terms of operation and maintenance.
