Specifications and device
The frameless design with the use of a cast-iron transmission case as a supporting structure has become an advanced step in the development of MTZ Belarus walk-behind tractors. A serious competitive advantage is the use of a closed clutch system, which compares favorably with its belt counterparts.
Line of engines
The UD-15 motor, standing on the model 05 walk-behind tractor, is a gasoline carburetor 4-stroke unit with one cylinder and air cooling. The main advantages are simplicity of design and availability of spare parts. Rated power of 5 hp enough for field work in personal plots and small vegetable gardens.
MTZ-06 was originally equipped with a domestic SK-6 engine with a lever or pulley starting mechanism. The improvement of the power plant was the use of the Chinese WEIMA 177F engine with a displacement of 0.277 liters and an automatic shutdown system with a low oil content. A more convenient launch design and a modern gas distribution system made this design predominant in the production of Belarus medium-sized motoblocks.
The most popular MTZ-09 machine is equipped with a multi-purpose Honda GX270 engine (Japan) with low noise and vibration levels. The professional GX motor series is widely used in construction and agricultural machinery, as well as power and industrial equipment.
In addition to the Japanese unit, model 09 was equipped with similar in characteristics Lifan LF177 and Kipor KG280 engines (both China), the Belarusian DK-7 engine, which has a lower cost, and the Motor Jikov GH 1509 (Czech Republic), which was not widely used.
The specifics of using the MTZ-12 walk-behind tractor indicated the use of a powerful 12-strong two-cylinder unit SK-12 for its class, manufactured by the Petropavlovsk plant of subcompact engines. The carburetor version with forced air cooling provides unpretentious operation and high maintainability.
Transmission
It is a complex functional mechanism for transmitting torque from the power plant to the chassis or power take-off shaft.
The design of the traction gearbox of the MTZ type walk-behind tractor provides several forward and reverse speeds. The differential of the wheels and the main gear drives are located in one housing, they work in an oil bath, maintaining high efficiency under prolonged working loads.
The mechanically controlled multi-plate clutch with a steering rod handle has a good safety margin thanks to the closed oil-filled circuit. The power take-off is a splined shaft that drives additional agricultural and other equipment.

Purpose of the walk-behind tractor
The main purpose of the Belarus 09N walk-behind tractor is to carry out agricultural work. It is used in small farms and private households, the area of which does not exceed 5 hectares. For processing such an area, it is impractical to hire a tractor, even if it is presented in a mini-version.
This model of a walk-behind tractor, like any other, is equipped with the ability to change attachments, which is supplied in the kit. With its help, you can perform the following work:
Motoblock MTZ 09N
- plow and cultivate the land;
- harrow the soil;
- huddle cultivated plants;
- plant potatoes;
- remove potatoes;
- mowing the grass;
- develop ditches;
- mow lawns;
- sweep the surrounding area;
- remove snow;
- move loads weighing up to 0.5 tons;
- pump water.
Motoblocks Belarus 09N are lightweight, so they can easily move on any type of soil. The operator does not have to exert effort to carry out high-quality soil cultivation. It is enough just to direct the mini-tractor along a precisely specified route.
Belarus 09N has gained popularity not only in agriculture, but also in public utilities. Due to its small size and maneuverability, this technique is used for the improvement of squares, parks, residential and school yards.
Design features
The MTZ walk-behind tractor is made according to the classic layout. It provides a gasoline engine, a container with fuel, a transmission, a chain block, a power take-off shaft. The design feature of the first and subsequent models is the ability to aggregate with agricultural implements for performing agrotechnical work.
Interfacing with tools is performed by means of a universal three-point hitch. The PTO transmits the torque to the executive body.
In a series of motoblocks, the developers applied an innovative solution - there is no power frame in the design. To reduce size and weight, the components are mounted on a cast iron transmission housing.
To increase the reliability of the device, they abandoned the belt clutch, which is installed on light motor cultivators. The transmission of torque, the separation of the power unit and the transmission was done through a multi-plate "wet" clutch with manual control.
Comparison of MTZ and Motor Sich
If you look at the prices and reviews, then Motor Sich walk-behind tractors are about the same as Belarus.
Comparative characteristics
- MTZ has the opportunity to set three gauge sizes (425,600 and 700); Motor Sich has 4 of them (500, 600, 700, 800).
- The ground clearance of MTZ is 30 cm, while Motor Sich has 24.
- The Smorgon plant uses imported engines, while the Zaporozhye plant produces them independently. At the same time, the maximum speed on Motor Sich walk-behind tractors is 16 km / h, while MTZ has about 12.
- The maximum hitch weight for Ukrainian motoblocks is 45 kg, and for Belarusian 30.
- To obtain higher performance, the weight of the structure has been significantly increased.
- The heaviest Smorgon MTZ-12 walk-behind tractor weighs 170 kg, but the weight of Motor Sich starts at 220 kg.
This is a significant difference, and before buying, read the reviews of the owners and think about whether you need such power?
Which walk-behind tractor is better to choose domestic or Chinese
In recent years, Chinese goods can be found in almost all areas of sales. Motoblocks are no exception. The Chinese are trying to introduce new technologies, and present familiar goods to us, only to improve them.
- The first Chinese diesel models are now on the market. This is an absolute plus, since now all our manufacturers cooperate exclusively with high-octane gasoline engines. Diesel is cheaper and therefore more economical.
- Plus, Chinese diesel engines use less fuel than gasoline engines to perform the same tasks. This means that they additionally save the owner's money.
Now there is an active development of a diesel engine for MTZ walk-behind tractors, and in the near future it is planned to start producing such models.
Well, China is China. Two identical machines can be produced in the same plant. Given that one of them will last for many years, and the second will break down in a week. If you want to save money and choose a cheaper option, then buy a Chinese one, if you want to get a reliable walk-behind tractor, then take a domestic one. Its cost is higher, but the build quality is much better.
Attachments and spare parts
Heavy models of the Belarusian manufacturer can be used to process large areas of up to 1 hectare. the technique is allowed for year-round use. For clearing snow, for example, a snowplow and a blade will help. The Belarusian walk-behind tractor is supplemented with:
- universal plow;
- a milling cutter for processing loose soils;
- harrow, he is a cultivator;
- hook-on device;
- rotary mower;
- an adapted device with a seat;
- universal hiller;
- utility brush;
- potato digger;
- lugs.
In work, they will show themselves as good assistants:
- active cutter;
- prefix;
- front adapter;
- weighting materials;
- extension.
The plow looks like a wide blade that loosens and cuts roots. Harrows can be used for the same work. They are available with teeth or disc. The latter are considered to be of higher quality. The furrows that are needed for planting seedlings are made by hillers. Their design is distinguished by a fixed or variable distance between the extreme parts. They are also single-row or double-row. Active hillers are not used as a hitch, as they serve as wheels. The specially designed toothed discs work well in the soil and remove weeds with a powerful root system.
The equipment allows you to simultaneously loosen, and level, and remove weeds. The milling cutter can handle even neglected areas. It is believed that the tool breaks the nests of pests that hibernate in the ground. Planter and digger facilitate the work associated with planting and harvesting potatoes. The first version of the equipment is equipped with a plow that makes a furrow. A hopper is placed on its frame, from which the potatoes fall at regular intervals into the furrows. On the back of the frame there are disc hillers that fill the bed. Thus, the equipment allows you to perform different jobs at the same time.
The potato digger consists of a plow to which rods are welded. The equipment lifts the soil layer along with the plants, then the tubers appear. It remains to put them in a prepared container. Diggers are of a fan or vibration type. The latter are more convenient to handle large areas. The movement on the equipment pulley is transmitted by the shaft, which regulates the power, the working elements of the part receive vibration, thereby, as it were, shaking the vegetable out of the ground. Among gardeners, this tool is also called "shake".

Preparation of the MTZ walk-behind tractor for plowing
Plowing is the culmination moment for which any walk-behind tractor is purchased. But for its implementation, it is necessary to properly prepare, adjust the walk-behind tractor, and only then check it in operation.
The preparatory complex of works is presented in the video below and includes:
- Assembling the walk-behind tractor according to the user's manual;
- Tighten all threaded connections;
- Filling of reservoirs for engine, transmission lubricant and gas tank;
- Preliminary start of the motor:
- open the fuel tank tap and pump fuel into the carburetor;
- cover the air flap. We do the opposite with the throttle valve, which should be open by one third;
- we place the starting cord in the groove of the pulley;
- after cranking the crankshaft until compression begins, pull the cable sharply and start the engine;
- if it is turned on successfully, let it warm up at low speeds for several minutes and go to work;
- Running-in is a mandatory step for all new MTZ walk-behind tractors:
- duration - 50 hours;
- requirements - performing light transport work under half load;
- Aggregation by weights:
Motoblocks "MTZ" are compatible with a variety of attachments, which can be conditionally divided into 3 groups:
- only 1 or 2 gear:
- Mounted plow PU;
- Soil cutter FR;
- Cultivator KTD-1.3;
- Hiller OU;
- Mower KRM-1;
- only 2 or 3 speed:
Harrow BT-1.6;
- high speeds (3-4) with increased tire pressure up to 0.12 MPa:
PM trailer.
- Attaching the plow for plowing:
- adjust the track to 60 cm;
- we transfer the plow hitch to the working mode and tighten it with a bolt;
- put a block under the left wheel of 16 cm;
- we loosen the plow bolts so that its rack takes a vertical position;
- take the handle to set the plowing depth and turn it counterclockwise so that the plow nose is 1.5 cm higher;
- turn on the differential lock and start cultivation in 1st gear;
- we bring it up to 18 cm with the plowing depth regulator;
- gradually move to 2nd gear;
- in case of wheel slip, reduce the plow width.
Some breakdowns and their elimination
When working with MTZ, a malfunction may occur when oil is poured into the upper bell under the control shafts. To eliminate the cause, users are advised to drain excess fuel to the desired level. Excess oil can get on the shafts. If the equipment stalls during operation, it is advised to check the serviceability of the fuel supply system. The first step is to check the condition of the candles.
Add fuel to the gas tank that is suitable for the normal operation of the machine. Examine the fuel cock.Sometimes it is enough to open this part to continue successful plowing. The need to adjust the ignition system is somewhat complex. With this malfunction, the walk-behind tractor can also stall constantly. Setting up includes fairly accurate steps, but in the absence of the proper skills, it is better to carry it out in a special service.
See the video below about the device of the Belarusian MTZ walk-behind tractor.
Features of the model
The weight of the Belarus MTZ 09-H model is 176 kg, which makes it easy to cultivate virgin land.
The differential lock function prevents one of the wheels from slipping. In this mode, the wheels rotate synchronously, which makes it possible to increase the tractive force and passability of mini-vehicles in viscous soil.
Thanks to the wide wheels with pneumatic tires, the special equipment can move over rough terrain. At the same time, the work requires a minimum of effort on the part of the operator.
The MTZ 09 speed range allows you to work at a pace convenient for the operator. The ability to reverse at two speeds makes it much easier to work in large areas.
The special mechanism of the handles of the walk-behind tractor adjusts the angle of their rotation. When installing attachments, it is 360 °, and when working and moving the walk-behind tractor - 15 °. The steering levers (handlebars) are also height adjustable.

Pros and cons of devices
Mass production (about 350 units roll off the assembly line every month) testifies to the demand for devices. Users indicate the following advantages of the models:
- Compactness. Self-propelled equipment is conveniently stored in a shed or in a garage next to the car - when folded, the walk-behind tractor does not take up much space.
- Maintainability. Due to the simplicity of the device, the availability of spare parts and consumables, an operator with minimal experience in servicing gasoline equipment can cope with minor repairs.
- Multifunctionality. Additional equipment is needed to expand the range of tasks performed.
Belarusian motoblocks are not without drawbacks. Users highlight several flaws:
- Lack of synchronization of the gear wheels in the gearbox. Different angular speeds of the shafts make it sometimes difficult to switch speeds.
- Imperfect differential lock. Structural defects make it difficult to turn the machine in confined spaces, which increases the burden on the operator.
- Limited access to the hitch. The lack of free space makes it difficult to aggregate with attachments.
Subtleties of choice
The choice is always based on the power ratings of the installed motors. During the periods of its existence, MTZ was equipped with various power plants.
- UD 15 is a four-stroke type engine with one cylinder, carburetor, requiring high-octane fuel for operation. According to the reviews of the owners, the engine differs in real power indicators of about 4 liters. with. At full throttle, it can reach 6 HP. with. A used engine loses its power capacity.
- UD-25 differs from the previous model by the presence of two cylinders. The maximum declared power of the device is 12 liters. with., and the actual - about 8.
- Honda GX 270 is a Japanese-built engine with a maximum performance of 9 liters. with. volumes of 270 cm3 The fuel tank actually holds 5.3 liters of fuel, with a consumption of 2.5 liters per hour. For work, it is not necessary to fill in high-octane gasoline, AI 92 is enough. Modern models are equipped with an electric starter.
- Lifan LF177 is a Chinese-built engine. The brand is not yet widely known. However, if you compare, then the performance of the power unit is similar to the Honda GX 270. According to reviews, the copy copes with the specified parameters no worse than the original. The Chinese company supplies power plants to many enterprises. The same engine is installed on such units as the Grasshopper 9 HP. s, "Zubr", "Neva", "Centaur MB 2075D". The cost of analogs is often several times less than the Belarusian competitor. The attachments available for the hitch are identical. Products can be combined with various walk-behind tractors.
The motoblock of the Ukrainian production "Sich" has identical parameters for MTZ.
Comparative analysis of models:
- MTZ - three track options (42, 60, 70 cm);
- SICH - four options (50, 0, 70, 80 cm);
- the ground clearance of MTZ is 30 cm, and for Sich it is 24 cm;
- maximum accelerating speed MTZ - 12 km / h, "Sich" - 16 km / h;
- possible weight of attachments for MTZ - 30 kg, "Sich" - 45 kg;
- weight of the heaviest MTZ 12 with attachments - 170 kg, "Sich" - 220 kg.
You can save on a walk-behind tractor by purchasing a model with average engine characteristics, but with high-quality domestic assembly.
