Selection Tips

A wide range of various motoblocks is produced under the Centaur brand. Prices for the model range vary from 12 to 65 thousand rubles - it directly depends on the power of the device.

Diesel and gasoline units are sold under the Centaur brand, with each option having its own advantages and disadvantages.

"Centaurs" of gasoline type are produced with power characteristics from 6 (model "MB 2016 B") to 16 liters. with. ("Model MB 3060B"). The positive aspects of a gasoline engine include a relatively low price, lightness and ease of use. The disadvantages are high thrust at reduced speeds, as well as the fact that you need to constantly keep the revs at a fairly high level.

Diesel units are represented by models with a capacity from 4 (model MB 3040D) to 13 liters. with. (product MB 1013D). Among the shortcomings, the high price for such products is distinguished. However, there are many more advantages - these models are characterized by high traction, increased service life and relatively low fuel cost.

The models differ in the type of cooling: they separate air and water. Air, as a rule, is installed on any type of motoblocks with low power and low weight. For larger installations, an air system is provided (these are models such as "MB 1070D", as well as "MB 1010D"). Parts with an air-cooled system have a longer service life.

When buying motoblocks, you should also proceed from the parameters of the site. If you have a small plot of land on which it is planned to carry out work on heaving, cultivation and weeding, then you should give preference to gasoline blocks with a capacity of 6 liters. with. or diesel with the corresponding parameter of 4 liters. with.

For plots less than 1.5 hectares, models with a capacity of 7-9 liters are suitable. with. and weighing 125 kg or more. Models "MB 2080B" and "MB 2091 D" correspond to these requirements.

Separately, it is worth mentioning heavy diesel models with a water cooling system, such as "MB 1012 D" and "MB 1081 D" - they are suitable for intensive processing of large land plots.

If you need to use the walk-behind tractor in cold weather, then it is worth stopping at such models as "MB 2061D" or "MB 2091 B".

These models are made of composite compounds and equipped with type-setting cutters to protect the seedlings. The design of such motoblocks has been improved in comparison with outdated modifications. These include "MB 2081 D" and "2050 DM-2".

Features and purpose

Motoblocks "Centaur" are produced in China, but this does not mean that their reliability is "lame". Quite the opposite - the products are distinguished by exceptional ergonomics, durability and practicality. The acquisition of such equipment allows plowing the land, planting plants, collecting and transporting crops without much effort.

Separately, it is worth dwelling on diesel motoblocks of the "Centaur" brand - such units are distinguished by increased power. In addition, everyone knows that diesel fuel is much cheaper than gasoline, so these machines are optimal for virgin lands, as well as large land plots.

Many owners have even adapted to modernize such units, making them mini-tractors with their own hands. By the way, diesel mechanisms are best suited for these machines.

To date, quite a lot of models are produced under the Centaur brand, so each user will be able to choose the best option for himself based on the size of the site, the type of soil and the assigned functionality.

Regardless of which model you need to purchase, you should take into account the main advantages of these products

The advantages of such models include the following positions:

• durability of the engine, the quality of which meets all European standards;
• due to the cast-iron crankcase, the walk-behind tractor is resistant to overheating, can withstand frequent use, and also increases the resource of the electric motor;
• multi-plate clutch, due to which the speed of torque increases many times and the smoothness of the movement of equipment is determined;

• multi-stage gearbox - due to this, the operator has the opportunity to choose the most suitable mode for effective work with various settings;
• the gear reducer has an increased margin of safety, therefore it can endure the most prolonged loads;
• the tool has the option to unlock the differential, making the installation maneuverable;
• the steering wheel is adjustable both vertically and horizontally, which makes the maintenance of the walk-behind tractor more comfortable, reduces physical activity and keeps the user's spine in the correct position.

There are drawbacks, but there are few of them, and they are isolated - buyers note that with the onset of winter, the walk-behind tractor begins to rust. The second drawback concerns additional parts, which, according to users, quickly fail. However, spare parts can be bought at any store at a low price and replaced in just an hour.

Care features

Any equipment sooner or later fails, and it is impossible to avoid this, but any user is quite capable of delaying the breakdown of mechanisms. To do this, maintain the manufacturer's specified mode of use without creating any peak loads.

Gasoline engines, like diesel engines, must not be used at idle speed. In this case, the risk of failure of the mechanism increases sharply.

If the engine does not start, then:

• make sure there is enough fuel;
• adjust the throttle;
• clean the air filter from dirt.

If the motor overheats:

• check the amount of oil;
• make sure that no foreign object has fallen into the muffler;
• clean the ventilation.

If there is no spark, then you need to clean the spark plug cap from carbon deposits.

If the walk-behind tractor vibrates too much, then it is necessary to check the position of the cutters, and also make sure they are intact.

Obviously, plowing the land and cultivating plants using the Centaur walk-behind tractor is a great relief for the owner of the site and a high degree of comfort. However, like any other technique, this unit requires the most careful handling.It is necessary to use only clean and high-quality fuel, as well as timely repair and replace defective parts.

Description

Centaur mini tractors are made in China. They are successfully used on farm plots up to 6 hectares. In addition, they are used by public utilities to clean streets and maintain park areas.

The popularity of the Centaur mini tractors is due to a number of reasons:

Quality hydraulic system

In all Centaur minitractors, the hydraulic cylinder is located on top, which prevents dirt and dust from entering it. It also has 3 positions, so you can choose a comfortable mode for a specific task.

Increased service life of drive belts

The idler rollers are specially shaped to prevent twisting or chafing of the drive belts.

Universal hitch

Thanks to this, Centaur mini tractors can operate attachments not only from a Chinese manufacturer, but also from third-party ones.

Kama engine

All mini tractors of the Centaur model range are equipped with Kama diesel engines. They are distinguished by their reliability and increased service life of engine hours. He is able to work for 10 hours without stopping. Fuel consumption depends on the power of the mini tractor. On average, it is about 1.5 liters per hour.

During soil cultivation with a milling cutter, a heavy load is placed on the drive belt, so they often break and become unusable. In Centaur mini tractors, the cutter is driven by a double chain.

Track size

During processing of already emerged crops, an important factor is not to damage them. Minitractors Centaur allow their owners to set an inter-wheel distance from 1 to 1.2 m.

Materials (edit)

The Chinese manufacturer has tried to extend the service life of the mini tractor as much as possible by using only high-quality consumables. For example, the gearbox is made of an alloy of steel and cast iron, which increases its strength and resistance to load drops.

The greatest load during operation of the Centaur minitractor goes to the frame and bridge, they were additionally reinforced to prevent damage during operation.
