Technical characteristics and reviews of the owners of the agromash m-20 walk-behind tractor

Review of attachments for motoblocks "Champion"

Attachments for motoblocks and cultivators "Champion" are used to increase the functionality of equipment, its production capabilities. Basically, all devices are equipped only with cutters and protective side discs. The rest of the accessories must be purchased separately by the owner. Heavy diesel motoblocks are often equipped with a plow.

Cutters

The cutter is collapsible, made of hardened steel, the shape of the knives is sickle-shaped. When mounting, you can put on the axle as a complete set of cutters, or only a few (this will reduce the width of cultivation). The assembly and attachment of the cutters should be carried out with protective cloth gloves. The photo shows the correct assembly of cutters.

Adapter, trailer

For the Champion walk-behind tractor, the choice of adapter or trailer is based primarily on power and traction. It is recommended to use the adapter on devices from 5 HP. and more. The trailer can be connected at 4 HP. and higher. An alternative to a trailer is a dump cart or a conventional type TM-500. Carrying capacity of motoblocks from 5 to 9 h.p. the average is 300-600 kg. Consider this when choosing an adapter, cart or trailer for your equipment.

Attachments

Aggregates in Kutaisi are multifunctional agrotechnical devices with a huge range of work performed. All additional options are possible with the participation of the following attachments developed by the Kutaisi machine-building plant:

• Milling cutter. A device designed for loosening the soil. Cutters are saber and crow's feet.The number of knives on one cutter can vary from 3 to 4. For Kutaisi, 21M saber L-shaped cutters were originally used.
• Reversible single-body plow. It is used for plowing virgin lands, autumn arable work, when you need to go deep into the ground.
• Single axle semi-trailer. Designed for the transportation of bulk and piece goods, its carrying capacity can reach 500 kg.

• Pump. A motor pump that allows you to pump out groundwater from drainage ditches, basements, and water the beds.

• Sprayer. With its help, plants are sprayed with various chemical compositions designed to combat pests and to improve plant growth. The sprayer is attached to the adapter, the required pressure is generated by a motor pump.
• Digger-hiller. This device allows you to cut furrows for planting, huddle already planted potatoes, etc. You can also use it to dig out potatoes.
• Mower. Frontal, segment and rotary models are offered. Mowers allow you to harvest animal feed, as well as monitor the appearance of your lawn.
• Rake. This device not only evens out irregularities in the soil after the plow, but also helps to quickly collect hay, straw, etc. at one point.

• Universal hitch. The model is SC-15. Designed for aggregating various sheds with a walk-behind tractor. The universal hitch makes it possible to set the required angle of attack of the canopy and the horizontal. The hitch is attached to the PTO bearing cover with special studs and nuts.

• Weights. The set for the walk-behind tractor includes three weighting materials: 2 discs of 15 kg each, mounted with studs on the wheels and a rectangular plate weighing 20 kg, attached under the carburetor of the walk-behind tractor.

• Pneumatic wheels. Equipped with a powerful tractor protector, used for transporting a walk-behind tractor, as well as complete with a trailer, mower, snow blower.

• Grousers. Placed on a shaft instead of wheels during field work. They perform double work - they transport the walk-behind tractor and additionally loosen the ground with stiffeners welded on the axle.

Modern developments have made it possible to attach the following awnings.

• Snow blowers. Three varieties are offered: brush, blade and auger snow blower.
• Adapter. Made in the form of a solid frame on wheels with a fixed seat. Converts a walk-behind tractor into a mini-tractor.
• Potato planter. This canopy will allow you to completely mechanize the once tedious process of planting potatoes. The tubers are poured into the hopper, where they are captured by the blades and lowered to the required depth into the ground. A soil ridge of the required height is immediately formed on top of the tuber.
• Potato digger. Potato harvesting is also mechanized. Rumbling (vibrating) or ordinary diggers will come to the rescue and in a matter of minutes the crop will be on the surface of the soil, and without loss.
• Caterpillar attachment, etc. This canopy is relevant in swampy areas, where, due to the strong viscosity of the soil, there is a low passability of the walk-behind tractor. The surface of contact with the ground has expanded, the weight is distributed more evenly, the walk-behind tractor moves more confidently and without slipping. Set-top boxes are sold separately.

What is a walk-behind tractor

There is no clear division between walk-behind tractors and motor-cultivators, the history of their occurrence is identical.

A Swiss citizen Dr. von Maenburg patented the first electric cultivator in 1911 and sold it to the German company Siemens. The unit was equipped with an electric internal combustion engine and had a long electric cable. In the 1920s and 1930s, similar devices appeared in other countries - SIMAR in Switzerland, the British Anzani Iron Horse in the UK, and the Beeman Tractor in the States.

In the post-war period, agriculture needed both powerful and small equipment with a large number of interchangeable mounted and trailed implements.Therefore, in 1946-47 in Mekmühle (Germany), despite difficult conditions, engineers Mechtel and Geler constructed a prototype of a technique without a driving wheel, and then with a leading one. In 1958, the 100,000th model under the brand name Agria was presented at the exhibition of German agricultural societies.

In the Soviet Union in 1948 the Perm Machine-Building Plant named after I. Dzerzhinsky was released on a gasoline engine and with 1 axle the first garden unit, but he did not find wide distribution among users.

A walk-behind tractor is a type of compact tractor based on a 1-axle chassis. When operating the device, the operator holds it by the handle and walks after him along the treated area, therefore it is often called a pedestrian mini-tractor.

Mototechnics are divided into 2 types:

• wheeled walk-behind tractors;
• motor cultivators.

In wheeled vehicles, the running pair generates traction, which is transmitted to the working tool. The main tool of cultivators is the milling cutters, which are included in the basic configuration and are attached to the drive axle. They perform only one operation - soil cultivation. The purpose of motoblocks is much wider.

There are such types of equipment:

• ultralight (1-3 hp, weight - up to 20 kg);
• lungs (2.5-4.5 HP, up to 40 kg);
• medium (up to 7 liters. from., 60-100 kg);
• heavy (up to 16 HP, 100 kg and more).

The choice of the mechanism directly depends on the cultivated area and the width of the land. When processing an area of ​​up to 15 acres, a walk-behind tractor is selected, designed for 3.5-4 hp. with a width of 60 cm, areas up to 5 hectares are perfectly cultivated with equipment with a capacity of 9-12 liters. with. and capture 1 m.

The device of the walk-behind tractor does not depend on the make or model of the machine and includes 5 main parts:

1. Engine. 2- or 4-stroke gasoline and diesel power plants are used.
2. Transmission. It happens:
   • toothed;
   • gear-worm;
   • belt-toothed-chain;
   • hydrostatic.
3. Chassis.
4. Aggregation mechanism. Serves for connecting auxiliary equipment.
5. Governing bodies. Includes steering rods for ease of operation.

The use of walk-behind tractors

The main application of the walk-behind tractor is plowing, hilling a land plot, mixing the top layer of soil with mineral and organic fertilizers, previously scattered on the ground. Therefore, light-type motor-cultivators are suitable for operation, the standard set of which includes cutters, sometimes hillers.

When aggregating medium-sized motoblocks with a removable wheelset, with a plow, lawn mower, harrow, hiller and semitrailer, their capabilities are much expanded.

Heavy equipment with non-replaceable wheel travel can be equipped with a soil-working cutter or plow, as well as an excavator blade, rake, snow blower and a trailer for transporting loads up to 500 kg.
