Comparison with other manufacturers
Brait and Energoprom
In order to understand the model of which manufacturer is better, it is necessary to make a small comparison on the most important parameters.
Comparison of motoblocks:
- If we focus on the price, then in this the models of Bright and Energoprom are similar. Most likely, this is a consequence of a similar Russian-Chinese production. Both brands work closely with a Chinese manufacturer that supplies large units and spare parts to the Russian market.
- Bright, unlike Energoprom, can offer its consumers a fairly wide range of models, among which there are professional-level walk-behind tractors with powerful engines. Accordingly, the mass of Bright aggregates is much higher.
- Both manufacturers equip their cars from the budget series with large wheels. Based on the reviews of the owners of both brands, we can say that the advantages of walk-behind tractors are the same: a high-torque engine, convenient control, a reliable body and relatively inexpensive spare parts.
Major malfunctions
Below are the faults that you can rectify yourself:
- The car does not go forward or backward. This is possible due to the breakage of the front / rear belt or due to its sagging. It is necessary to check the belts and the operation of the gearbox.
- Deformation of the V-belt transmission. It is solved only by a complete replacement of the belt.
- If there is an oil leak through the gearbox. It is necessary to tighten the bolts tighter and check the integrity of the gasket. Replace if deformed.
- Oil leaks along sprocket axles and output shaft seals. This happens if more oil is poured than necessary or if the seals are destroyed, and the latter is removed in specialized workshops.
- Starts badly. This is due to the reducer valve.
- The spark is gone. If the spark plug cap is clogged, the engine will malfunction. This happens due to lack of maintenance.

Peculiarities
Attention should be paid to other design features of the walk-behind tractor. So, it is equipped with a reinforced frame
Along with increasing the rigidity of the entire structure, this solution allows better protection of internal parts from impacts. And the mud flaps also have a protective function, only this time in relation to the driver
It is very important to cover yourself from splashes due to the high flotation provided by the large wheels.
Although the walk-behind tractor drives quite briskly, the cutters cultivate the land in a gentle way. This is achieved by placing them at an acute angle relative to the vehicle. This angle allows the knives to enter the ground smoothly and neatly. And also a feature of the walk-behind tractor is a cast iron gearbox. Its design has been thought out in such a way as to guarantee high strength and prevent lubricating oils from leaking.
Operation and maintenance
If the Patriot Ural walk-behind tractor is chosen, you need to use it correctly. The manufacturer recommends, as usual, to read the operating and operating instructions for the device before starting work. It is imperative to check whether the device is assembled correctly, whether all the components are present there. Even before the first start, it is necessary to assess the levels of lubricating oils in the motor and gearbox, if necessary, it is worth making up for this deficiency. Do not leave the walk-behind tractor in a running state without supervision.
It is recommended to wear noise-absorbing earphones and goggles when working. Ideally, a full face mask should be used instead of glasses. Shoes, in which they work on a walk-behind tractor, must be durable. Even on a hot day, you cannot use it without shoes. Patriot is only quite safe when fenders and special shrouds are mounted.
It is worth noting that safety is not guaranteed even if the slope in the garden, in the garden is 11 degrees or more.
Do not refuel the engine indoors. Before refueling it, the engine must be completely stopped and wait for cooling. In the event of a fuel spill, roll the cultivator at least 3 m to the side before starting. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility if the walk-behind tractor was refueled at the same time as smoking, if it was used by children, drunk people.
It should always be remembered that gasoline vapors ignite easily. The gas tank must be tightly closed both during operation and when the unit is left alone. Do not bring any part of your body closer to the spinning knives. The walk-behind tractor is not designed to work in greenhouses, large greenhouses and other enclosed spaces. If you have to drive on a slope of rough terrain, the tank is filled to 50% to reduce the risk of fuel spills.
It is not allowed to process the area where stumps, stones, roots and other objects remain. The manufacturer allows only cleaning the walk-behind tractor on his own. Without exception, all types of repairs should be carried out in a certified service center. Initial assembly and subsequent cleaning should only be carried out with protective gloves. For motoblocks, it is allowed to use only selected engine oil of a special sample containing a large amount of additives.Thanks to them, the engine will work stably even in extremely harsh conditions, demonstrating minimal wear.
Importantly, the life cycle of high-grade oils is maximally extended. But nevertheless, it is worth changing them 1 time in 3 months or every 50 operating hours.
When purchasing oil, you must carefully check the certificates from Patriot. And also experienced users recommend looking at the expiration date. The recommendations for operation do not end there. For example, the reverse gear is normally used only for turning the walk-behind tractor. It is permissible to perform it only where there are no obstacles, at low speed. If after completion of work there is an unused residue of gasoline, it must be poured into a canister. Prolonged storage of fuel in the tank will damage the engine.
The motor must be carefully cleaned every time after stopping. Drive belts should be inspected and tensioned at the beginning and end of each season. The spark plugs are checked after 25 hours. The presence of even small oil stains where they should not be is a 100% reason to contact the service. The cutters must not be sharpened, they can only be completely replaced. It is strictly forbidden to mix fuel and oil, as well as to use gasoline worse than AI-92. The use of leaded gasoline is also prohibited.
The manufacturer recommends adhering to the following tips:
- work only on dry ground,
- to process "heavy" soils with several passes;
- do not approach trees, bushes, ditches, embankments;
- store the walk-behind tractor in dry places.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like all Patriot walk-behind tractors, this model is distinguished by decent reliability, so the need to buy spare parts is relatively rare. But if it does appear, the repair is quite simple. The device works well both on farmlands and on garden plots of various sizes. Due to the hinged structures, excellent performance can be guaranteed both in land cultivation and in other works. You can move the walk-behind tractor alone, but because of the solid mass, it is better to move it together.
The rubberized control handles are very comfortable to hold, especially since the handle is adjustable to individual needs. Pouring gasoline into the wide mouth is easy and will not spill. The wide range of speeds allows you to work confidently both when cultivating the land and when moving goods, which requires you to go faster. The special design of the casing minimizes the risk of breakage of the drive belts. Air filter prolongs engine life.
The weak point of the Patriot Ural can be considered that this model does not cope with industrial land cultivation. It is used only on personal lands of insignificant area. It is also worth noting that a trip on snow without lugs or conversion to a tracked version is impossible. Fuel consumption is relatively high, but this is a common characteristic of all gasoline vehicles. As for the inability to cultivate heavy soil - with the available power, the apparatus should not be able to cope with such work. Sometimes they note such a nuance as weakness and insufficient width of the control levers, due to which the control is a little difficult, and the wheels can also wear out quickly.

Optional equipment
Attachments of various manufacturers are suitable for the Patriot Ural walk-behind tractor. The use of plows has become widespread. But even more often, potato diggers are used, capable of separating the tops from the tubers. In order to effectively clear the area from snow, it is necessary to install special dumps. In the warm season, they are replaced by sweeping brushes.
Returning to the agricultural use of motoblocks, one cannot fail to mention their compatibility with seeders. It is very convenient to first prepare the land for work with the same machine, and then sow it with seeds. To transport fertilizers, soil, pesticides, water, harvested crops, it is useful to use the "Patriot" add-on - a trailer. The same carts will help both construction and household waste to be taken out, if necessary, from the summer cottage. Many other equipment can be used, including hillers.
Specifications
A gasoline walk-behind tractor with wide wheels 19x7-8 is equipped with a 7.8 liter engine. with. The original factory kit includes cutters.
