Device
The Texas cultivator device includes several main working units.The design uses a 4-stroke gasoline engine with different power, depending on the series and model of the unit. In fact, it is the main structural element that shapes the further work of the entire cultivator.
However, there are other nodes that deserve our attention:
- Frame construction. In these cultivators, the frame serves not only as a connecting link for all other working units, but also plays a decorative role. All elements of the case are made of very high quality, in accordance with the best European quality standards.
- Cutting cutters. Depending on the model, the unit can be equipped with a different number of cutters and different diameters.

Gearbox problems
You will need to repair the cultivator gearbox if its operation is accompanied by increased noise. A similar phenomenon is typical in the case of a lack of oil.Add it to the gearbox of the device, or better, replace it altogether.
Also, noise can arise due to the "loosening" of the fasteners of the nodes: inspect and fix them with your own hands.
In addition, summer residents may face the problem of oil leakage from the gearbox. This can occur due to wear or improper installation of the seals of the bearing units, with poorly fixed covers and deformation of their accompanying gaskets. Replacement and subsequent high-quality installation of oil seals, self-replacement of gaskets and fixing of cover fasteners, as well as high-quality cleaning of the breather will help to eliminate such a leak.
Do not forget to timely change those parts of the Texas gearbox that are more susceptible to wear than others during the operation of equipment of this kind.
