Types and models

Today, the Plowman walk-behind tractors are produced in several versions: MKM-3/2/4, TSR900RN, Premium, TSR800RN, as well as MZR-800, TSR830RN and MKM-3 B6.5.

Let's dwell on the most popular ones.

MZR-800

This model is equipped with a gasoline engine with a capacity of 8 liters. with. The engine runs on A-92 gasoline. The model, together with the main attachments, weighs 75 kg.

The unit is optimal for work on already prepared lands. During operation, the working width can be adjusted from 80 to 100 cm, and the plowing depth - from 15 to 30 cm.

The machine works perfectly in all weather conditions, does not lose its technical and operational parameters either in a hot sultry summer or in a snowy frosty winter.

However, there is a slight limitation on the use of motor vehicles - it is better to buy equipment for working on large plots of land with an area of more than 30 acres.

MZR-820

This unit is good for working in very small areas, whose area does not exceed 15 acres. From a technical point of view, the features of this walk-behind tractor are almost identical to the parameters of the MZR-800, but its weight is slightly more - 85 kg, and the grip width is 105 cm.

The main task of this walk-behind tractor is to simplify as much as possible work on a personal plot or garden.

MZR-830

This is a very popular model among gardeners. The device has three main speeds - 2 forward and reverse, the weight is 5-7 kg higher than all previous versions, and the size of the processed strip has been increased to 110 cm.

According to technical indicators, this walk-behind tractor can be attributed to weighted models, therefore it is possible to work with it on virgin soil, as well as clay and loamy soils.

TSR-900

This is one of the most progressive models of the "Plowman", rather not a walk-behind tractor, but a cultivator of the highest quality. It is equipped with separate seats, as well as wheels that make it easy to attach a motor pump, mowers and a snow blower. The carburetor is of exceptional quality, the control levers are easily adjustable in two different planes, so that the operator can leave the driver's seat at any time and be near the walk-behind tractor.

The system has 2 forward speeds, as a rule, operations with the ground are carried out on it, as well as a reverse, which is intended for transporting soil.

MKM-3

Engine power is 7 hp. with., air-forced cooling.

The grasp of land during plowing is only 73 cm, but if desired, it can be increased to 105, but the depth is small - only 12 cm.

Features of Lander walk-behind tractors

Modern units run on high quality European engines. Other parts such as the transmission are manufactured in Russia. This feature made it possible to make the equipment affordable in terms of cost and sufficiently high quality.

To find out everything about Plowman walk-behind tractors, you need to evaluate their specifics and advantages:

Height and width adjustable control knobs;
Rubber wheels provide the best cross-country ability regardless of the specific terrain;
The motor is of European production, therefore it is distinguished by its reliability and durability;

The machine does not overheat thanks to the gear reducer. The walk-behind tractor can work for a long time without stopping;
Sufficient power to use a variety of attachments;
Low noise level during operation;
Due to its low weight, the unit is maneuverable and easy to operate.

Among the offered models, it is easy to choose a walk-behind tractor that is suitable in terms of technical parameters.

How to make the apparatus heavier?

To partially solve the above problem, you can make the walk-behind tractor heavier. Self-made weighting materials are no worse than those made at the factory.

Weighting is especially important:

when working on virgin soil;
when to climb the slope;
if the ground is saturated with moisture, which causes the wheels to slip a lot.

It is important to remember: any weights should be mounted so that they can be easily removed. The easiest way to increase the mass of the walk-behind tractor is by adding weights to the wheels.

It is most profitable to make cargo from steel drums. First, the workpiece is cut into 3 parts with a grinder so that the height of the bottom and top is from 10 to 15 cm. Steel strips are used to strengthen the welded seams.

After that, the workpiece needs to be drilled through 4 or 6 times so that the bolts can be screwed in. In some cases, steel washers are added, reinforcing the structure. The bolts should be selected more authentic, then the fastening of empty tanks to the disks will be easy. After installation, sand, crushed granite or brick chips are poured into the tanks. To make the filler denser, it is abundantly moisturized.

Removable steel weights can also be used. They are prepared from hexagonal rods, the size of which allows you to easily insert the workpiece into the hole in the chassis of the walk-behind tractor. Having cut off a couple of short pieces from the profile, they are welded to the discs for the gymnastic bar. The axle and profile are drilled through to drive the cotter pins. You can increase the mass of the walk-behind tractor even more by welding pancakes from the bar to the pads.

Sometimes this kind of supplement looks ugly. It is possible to improve the appearance by welding unnecessary clutch baskets from cars of the Volga Automobile Plant. These baskets are painted in a randomly chosen color. Some owners of walk-behind tractors prepare cargo from reinforced concrete. It is poured into a reinforcing cage.

When wheel weights are not enough, weights can be added to:

Checkpoint;
frame;
battery niche.

In these cases, the center of gravity of the walk-behind tractor must be taken into account. Bolts with a section of 1.2 cm and a length of at least 10 cm are welded onto the steering wheel bracket. The frame is boiled from a corner, then holes for the bolts are punched in it. The frame is carefully fitted to the frame, painted and attached. The load must be of the appropriate size.

User manual

When using "Plowman" walk-behind tractors, it is very important to do the correct running-in. The walk-behind tractor should be loaded gradually, so that the transmission and the main parts of the engine can run in, it is strictly forbidden to overload the unit - in this case, its reliability can be severely affected

The running-in should begin with a thorough examination and check of all basic units of the equipment - the components must be effectively protected and absolutely in good working order. The first time the engine is started, it should work. no more than 10 minutes., and at idle.

If you see that everything is in perfect order, then you can safely proceed directly to the processing of the site. At this moment, only such works as plowing, hilling, as well as digging out potatoes and transporting goods are allowed.

Thus, the mechanism should work for about 15 hours, while the power should be used no more than 2/3, it is very important to adjust the ignition control

You can load the walk-behind tractor only after running in.

If the device was operated in conditions of high humidity and precipitation, after work dry all units and lubricate with oil.

For temporary storage, grease all rotating parts.

What it is?

The creator of MKM-3 Lander motoblocks is the Mobil K manufacturing enterprise. The company was opened in 1996 as a manufacturer of mounted and trailed additional equipment for agricultural machinery, but a little later the field of activity has undergone some changes, and today "Mobile K" is widely known in our country as a manufacturer of one of the highest quality motoblocks.

Production facilities are located in the Smolensk region, while most of the parts and components are manufactured right there - the share of third-party parts is very small.

In 2008, the enterprise was re-equipped - the plant received equipment of real European quality, and today we can safely say that all production processes have become almost completely automated, the share of the human factor is minimized.

Motoblocks "Plowman" are designed for soil cultivation, as well as for digging and loosening the earth. The set of equipment includes the minimum required set of attachments and trailers, but most of the additional accessories have to be purchased additional.

Among the advantages of a walk-behind tractor, users highlight a number of points.

All equipment "Plowman" is made only from materials of the highest quality with high noise absorption and vibration resistance.
The handle of the device can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically.
The walk-behind tractor is equipped with a domestic gearbox; all cast parts, including the gear, are also Russian-made.
The most popular model these days is the MKM-3 model, equipped with a three-speed gearbox. However, there are other variations: with one forward speed and reverse, as well as only with the front.
Absolutely all Plowman walk-behind tractors are positioned as specialized professional equipment. Here, the inclusion of worm or stamped gearboxes, any low-quality plastic spare parts and low-grade belts that do not meet the basic technical and operational requirements is completely excluded.

User manual

In working with any walk-behind tractor, there are several important stages of preparation for operation: assembly, first start-up, running-in. After that, you can start operation according to the instructions.
