Attachments
Mini tractors Stavropolets gained great popularity due to the ability to automate agricultural processes using attachments:
Milling cutter
This attachment is used to increase fertility by flipping the topsoil.
It is used to crush the lumps left after milling the soil.
Stubble plows
This is one of the options for cutters, only instead of knives they have metal plates with notches, which not only raise the lower layer of the earth, but also immediately grind it.
This hitch is used to trace the position of the beds before planting crops.
Plow
If necessary, turn the top layer of virgin or stony lands without a plow. Several plows can be used at the same time to increase the working area.
This attachment is used when it is necessary to transport any cargo over a distance. It is necessary to choose a trailer based on the transported cargo, if it is pipes, then it is better to use a long trolley with 4 wheels, if it is hay, then a dump trailer is better suited.
Mowers
Rotary mowers are used for harvesting hay for the winter in rural areas and for maintaining park areas in order by utilities.
Rake
After cutting the weeds, to collect them, you can connect the rake to the Stavropolets mini tractor.
If it is necessary to automate work with potatoes, a potato digger (for digging) and a potato planter (for sowing) are connected to the mini-tractor.
Snow blower
This attachment is mainly used by utility companies when it is necessary to remove a layer of snow to the side for a distance of more than 10 meters.
Shovel blade
Shovels are used to clear roads in winter.
Here is a video review of soil milling with an active milling cutter and a Stavropolets mini tractor:

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 action, 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.
You can also find a used tractor with an acceptable technical condition and with some set of working accessories. The cost of such a machine can vary from 180 thousand rubles to 220 thousand Russian rubles, depending on the operating time.
Operating tips
Before using any motor equipment for the first time, it must be run-in. It is produced at a reduced speed and in gentle modes for at least 10 hours. Upon completion of the running-in, it is imperative to replace the oil filled in the unit. During further operation, the engine oil must be changed after every 250 hours of operation. The material used must comply with SAE 10W-40. It is recommended to change the lubricant in the transmission every 500 hours of equipment use. The manufacturer recommends using the 85W-90 GL-5 brand for this.
In addition to changing the oil, regular maintenance should include:
- cleaning from contamination at the end of work;
- checking the air pressure in the tires.
The key to the safety of equipment during the winter period will be its proper conservation. To do this, you need to put the tractor in a covered room, drain fuel and oil from it, thoroughly clean it of moisture and any contaminants, and dismantle the spark plugs and battery from it.
In case of possible malfunctions, first of all, you need to check:
- the quality of the fuel used and the oil level in the engine and transmission;
- no noticeable damage to the fuel system;
- the condition of the spark plugs and wires of the ignition system;
- the condition of the fasteners (whether the bolts have loosened);
- no breaks in belts transmitting torque;
- correct carburetor adjustment.
Separately, it is worth considering the features of choosing a shovel blade. Currently, the following classes of this equipment are presented on the Russian market:
- Chinese-made dumps - they are distinguished by a low price and many disadvantages, such as small width, lack or weakness of protection against collisions with obstacles, poor quality of the applied coating;
- shovels made in the USA (in particular, Warn) - at a high price, they are of excellent quality, large width, powerful knives and a convenient quick fastening system;
- Russian goods Atvstar are analogous to American ones at a lower cost.
When choosing this element, pay attention to its type. By the method of fastening, the dumps are divided into the following types
- Rear-mounted ones are cheap and simple options that can be used to clear snow and debris and loosen the soil. Their main drawback is that you can only work with them in reverse.
- Front-mounted, which are usually equipped with a hydraulic cylinder and are significantly more powerful.
Before purchasing any attachments, it is imperative to check with the seller whether their attachment system is suitable for your existing tractor.
Most owners of Stavropolets mini-tractors note their relatively low price, high reliability, good build quality, a wide range of attachments compatible with this technique, and low engine noise. Many owners of these units note that, unlike many other goods from China, the real technical characteristics (primarily power) correspond to those stated in the data sheet. Also, as advantages in the reviews, the high cross-country ability of this technique and the ease of its maintenance are mentioned.
As the main disadvantage of most models (except for 244 C and 354), the review authors note a high level of vibration caused by the absence of a cab and some other technical solutions.

Transmission
The power train includes a disc clutch, traditional for small cars, with constant contact and mechanical control from a foot pedal.
- The engine torque is effectively realized by a dual-range multistage gearbox, gear final gearboxes of the running gear and a planetary differential.
- To reduce the turning radius and emergency stop of the tractor, drum-type shoe brakes with separate control are used.
- The movement of the tractor in working or transport mode at a speed of 2 to 23 km / h is realized by choosing one of 8 forward gears. The lack of reverse is compensated by two reverse gears with a maximum speed of up to 7 km / h.
The power train also includes a single-speed PTO for activating power-driven attachments.
Basic models are made according to the classic 4x2 scheme with driving rear wheels and simplified transmission kinematics. The 6: 4 weight distribution over the bridges contributes to an increase in directional stability and a decrease in the coefficient of specific pressure on the ground.
The undercarriage of the new versions of the Chuvashpiler tractor model 244 is of 4x4 formula with all-wheel drive to both axles. Cross-country ability is ensured by the ability to lock the differential, the herringbone pattern of the lugs of the wheel tires.

Mowers and rakes
In order to properly care for lawns, as well as a part of hay preparation, the manufacturer recommends using a mower-shredder. Can also be used to remove foliage.
But the versatility of the Uraltsa allows the use of rotary mowers from other manufacturers, as well as home-made options. They cut the grass thanks to the rotating knives. For harvesting freshly cut grass and making hay for the winter, the following options are used:
- rake tedders - for raking dry grass
- cross rake - rakes the grass into small swaths
- Haystack - Picks up and stacks hay in stacks or vehicles.
Potato diggers and potato planters
The potato planter simplifies and speeds up the process of agricultural work related to planting potatoes. For Uralets mini tractors, you can purchase a potato planter from the manufacturer - the KSNT-2 option or make it yourself.
Used to automate the harvesting of potatoes. The manufacturer offers a mounted single-row potato digger model KK-540. Installed on Uralets and JINMA mini tractors.
If it is not possible to purchase a potato digger, then you can make it yourself. If you follow the reviews of the owners, then it is more profitable to make this attachment yourself, since the design is quite simple.
Diy potato digger scheme:
Alternatively, you can use a rotary potato plow.
Snow blower, blade-shovel
A useful and irreplaceable addition to the hinges will be a dump shovel. You can buy it ready-made or make it yourself. The rear blade is 1.2 to 1.5 meters wide. It should be noted that the factory front dump is installed only on the Uralets 180 and 220 mini tractors. Aggregation with Jinma requires additional tractor power (from 20 hp). To clean the area from snow more efficiently, you can also equip the mini tractor with a rotary snow blower. With the help of the auger, the snow is thrown aside and thus the road is cleared.
You can also use other attachments for various types of work:
- Spreader
- Loader
- Yamobur
- Wood shredder
- Hillers
- brush.
Specially for the Uralets tractor, a universal mounted bucket with a cab frame (KUHN) was developed in everyday life - a front loader. With its 1.2 meter wide bucket, KUHN can lift and unload 250 kg loads at a height of 2.1 meters.
