Attachment overview
Walk-behind tractors Shtenli gained popularity due to the fact that they are able to support work with a wide range of attachments. Each owner should be familiar with the capabilities of their machine in order to use it as efficiently as possible.
Cutters
This is the basic hitch, which is at the disposal of every Stanley walk-behind tractor owner. It is used to turn over the top fertile soil layer and further increase soil fertility. During operation, the cutters are installed instead of the standard pneumatic wheels.
Plow
This attachment is used with Stenli walk-behind tractors when it is necessary to plow dense stony lands. The plow plunges into the ground and allows you to keep the walk-behind tractor in a stable position.
Mower and rake
Stanley walk-behind tractors can help in clearing weeds and unwanted vegetation from the area by connecting the rotary mower to the PTO. The mower is capable of cutting even medium-sized coarse-stemmed plants and shrubs. The advantage of rotary mowers is that when hitting a stone, the knives do not break off, but turn in the other direction, maintaining their integrity.
After mowing, many people in rural areas leave the grass to dry and then collect it as hay for the winter for livestock. A rake can be connected to Shtenli walk-behind tractors and quickly collect grass.
Potato digger and potato planter
Potatoes are in demand among the residents of our country. At the same time, planting and cleaning work takes a lot of time and requires significant physical effort. If you are the owner of a Shtenli walk-behind tractor, then this task can be performed independently by connecting the appropriate attachments.
The most common version of the potato digger is the rattling one. The potato digger picks up a layer of soil at a level of 20 cm along with the fruits, and then, with the help of a roar, breaks up large breeds of soil, leaving only root crops on the surface.
Snow blower and shovel blade
With the onset of winter, the owners of country cottages and rural residents are faced with the problem of snow removal. In our regions, heavy snowfalls are observed, and if you do not clear the adjacent territory, then over time you can simply not leave the house.
Motoblocks Shtenli together with a snow blower can help solve this problem. This attachment picks up a layer of snow and, with the help of an auger, throws it aside at a distance of 10-15 meters.
If you need to clear a small section of the road or a footpath, you can use a conventional shovel blade to do this.
Wheels, lugs and tracks
Almost the entire model range of Shtenli motoblocks belongs to heavy machines. They are equipped with high pneumatic tires measuring 6.5 × 12, which provide reliable traction when driving on any terrain.
If the adhesion to the surface is not enough and the walk-behind tractor is buried or skidding, then you can install special lugs, which are equipped with metal plates that enter the ground and stabilize the movement of the device.
Track attachment
In the winter season, for driving on a Stanley walk-behind tractor, you can install a caterpillar attachment, which improves passability on loose snow and slippery ice, by increasing the area of contact with the ground.
Trailer
Heavy motoblocks Shtenli can transport loads over half a ton.To do this, it is necessary to use trailers, the configuration of which directly depends on the transported cargo:
- When transporting bulk cargo, it is better to use dump trailer options;
- If it is necessary to transport long pipes or logs of trees, it is better to use a cart on 4 wheels;
- When transporting large amounts of hay or other bulky goods, a trailer with high sides must be used.
Adapter
Motoblocks have one significant drawback, you have to move while standing behind them. Because of this, the owner becomes physically tired quickly.
To reduce the load, an adapter can be connected, which is a seat on a frame. When connected, you can control the Shtenli walk-behind tractor while sitting.

What to look for when choosing a walk-behind tractor
PTO. In cultivators without a shaft, the soil is processed using milling cutters, in walk-behind tractors, active equipment is hung on a special hitch, such devices are much more versatile.
- Engine's type. For work on personal plots, you can purchase a model with an electric motor, with operation from the mains or battery. They weigh less, work quieter, do not require an oil change. Gasoline 4-stroke is more powerful, more convenient to operate, suitable for operation at low temperatures.
- Diesel engines are considered the most reliable and powerful, although they are more noisy and overall.
- Transmission. Determines the movement capabilities of the device. Most Profi models have a two-speed manual gearbox and an additional rear gearbox. A large number of gears and an automatic transmission are needed mainly for those who use a walk-behind tractor with a cart as a vehicle.
- Engine power. One of the main parameters that determines the capabilities of the equipment. Cultivators for 1-5 HP suitable for processing small areas, differ in small width and depth of plowing.
- Motoblock Profi Motors 6-15 hp allows you to cultivate several hectares, copes with heavy soils, a phased development of virgin lands is possible. 18-24 hp models in fact, they are mini tractors, with their help you can process up to 1.2 meters of land, transport up to 1-1.5 tons of cargo (we also recommend that you read the article about a Subaru engine for a walk-behind tractor).
- Cooling system. In simple models, the engine is cooled using fins on the body; these are slow-speed and not too powerful options.
- The more efficient ones have forced air fans.
- Almost all Profi models are equipped with liquid radiator cooling systems.
- Equipment weight. Depends on the thickness of the metal used, the material of the wheels, the type of engine and gearbox.
- Heavier motoblocks allow you to plow deeper, more stable on the road (especially when used with a cart), but the lungs do not burrow into the ground, it is more convenient during transportation.
- To increase the weight of the walk-behind tractor, you can purchase special removable weighting materials or use home-made devices made of steel or cast iron.
- Headlights. Allow you to work at night.
- Possibility of installing active or passive equipment. If the walk-behind tractor is equipped with a power take-off shaft (PTO), then attachments with moving parts can be connected to it. The PTO system can be spline or pulley-belt.
- In simple models and cultivators, it is possible to work only with rigidly fixed elements.
Attachment overview
Now motoblocks have already become an integral part of the life of rural residents. They allow you to automate a large amount of work thanks to additional attachments. Each owner should be familiar with the assortment and possibilities of hinges.

Cutters
This is a standard attachment that comes with most Profi walk-behind tractors.
Cutters allow you to turn and mix the topsoil, thereby increasing soil fertility.
Cutters
This attachment is installed to replace the standard pneumatic tires on the wheel axle.
Plow
This attachment is designed for the cultivation of virgin lands, when the cutters cannot provide normal cultivation of the soil.
Plow manufacturers offer different options for their attachments. The most popular is the reversible plow, which allows you to turn the soil several times on the share, break up blocks and only then throw the soil to the side.
Mower and rake
Motoblocks Profi are capable of cleaning the area from weeds and small shrubs.
The most popular option is the rotary version of the mower, which cuts the grass using rotating knives. A feature of rotary mowers is the ability to process any type of soil at different slopes.
If you need to work on densely overgrown areas, you can use a segment mower, which during operation moves the blades alternately towards each other.
After the vegetation is cut, it dries up and can be collected with the help of the Pro walk-behind tractor and a rake.
Potato digger and potato planter
Potatoes are in demand throughout our country, but the work associated with them requires a lot of physical and time costs.
The potato planter is a 30 liter tank into which potatoes are poured. From there it is fed by means of a conveyor belt. A plow is installed in front, which makes a ditch, and at the back, a hiller buries a trench.
The potato digger picks up a layer of soil 20 cm deep, and then, with the help of a roar, breaks up the clods of rock, and leaves the potatoes on the surface, which just remains to be collected.
Snow blower and shovel blade
When the winter period of the year comes, heavy snowfalls are observed in our country. Motoblocks Profi are distinguished by an improved starting system and allow the motor to be driven even at negative temperatures.
The snow plow picks up the snow with a 1 m wide bucket and then throws it to the side with the help of a rotor.
If it is necessary to clear a small area adjacent to the house, then you can use a conventional blade-shovel.
Wheels, lugs and tracks
Motoblocks Profi belong to the heavy class, which is able to carry out almost any type of work. However, under increased loads, the device may slip or burrow into the ground. To prevent this, lugs can be installed instead of standard tires.
In the winter season, to improve cross-country ability, you can install a tracked module, which increases the weight of the walk-behind tractor and the area of contact with the surface. Caterpillars are most often used when driving a walk-behind tractor over long distances in winter.
Trailer
Motoblocks Profi have excellent traction characteristics and can carry loads weighing over half a ton. There are several types of trailers, and you need to choose the right one from the transported cargo:
- The most popular is the universal dump trailer version, which allows unloading by simple lifting from the front;
- If it is necessary to transfer hay or other bulky cargo, then it is recommended to use a cart with high sides;
- When transporting long log cabins or pipes, you should choose a trailer with 4 wheels.
Trailer
Adapter
To reduce the physical stress on the owner of the Profi walk-behind tractor and make the work more comfortable, an adapter can be connected to it. This is a special attachment with a seat, thanks to which you can control the device while sitting.
Adapter
If you have a trailer, you can use it as an adapter when driving over distances.
Trailers and flotation improvement
Despite the fact that wide wheels are installed on the walk-behind tractor, and it itself has an impressive weight, this is not always enough for reliable grip. In order to eliminate slipping, they are used. Their diameter is 30-60 cm, and the weight of one pair is in the range of 40-70 kg.Ground hooks are installed in cases where plowing is carried out on loose or wet soil.
Some owners of a walk-behind tractor weld a frame to its frame, in which containers with water or sandbags are placed. In winter, the wheels are replaced with modular tracks, which turn the walk-behind tractor into a full-fledged snowmobile.
Improving the usability of the unit and expanding its functionality is achieved by using the following hook-on devices:
- Adapter. It is used for trips over various distances when the road is in poor condition. The adapter relieves the stress on the legs of the worker when processing large areas.
- Cargo trailers. Used during planting and harvesting operations. In the local area, the use of trailers is necessary for the transportation of heavy things, garbage disposal, and moving bulk cargo. By design, trailers are divided into single-axle and two-axle.
- Combined carts. They have 2 seats, a chassis and a small body. The drawbar of the bogies is adapted for attaching attachments. You can use the carts for picnic, fishing trips or shopping at the village store.
- Sled. They are used in winter to transport people and various goods. According to the design, the sleds are subdivided according to the methods of sliding. You can buy a sleigh with a flat bottom or runners.
With good adhesion to the ground and in a low gear, the walk-behind tractor can tow trailers weighing up to 1000 kg. Such opportunities are used during rescue operations. Stenli units successfully pull out cars stuck in mud and snow, evacuate faulty equipment, motorcycles and snowmobiles. On a good flat road, walk-behind tractors with a trailer can accelerate to 18 km / h.
