Design and principle of operation
The main characteristics of motoblocks of this brand are simplicity of design, high quality of parts and material, affordable cost, and suitability for repair. The design features are presented in the form of a robust steel frame, where the motor, gearbox and control handle are located. This mini tractor is characterized by large working resources and good performance.
The motoblocks have a standard gearbox; it has forward, rear and neutral speeds. The compact dimensions of the equipment provided the machine with special maneuverability, so it is able to cultivate the land even in the most inaccessible places. Motor-blocks "Energoprom" have comfortable handles, so they can be used to cultivate soil, even if the conditions are not entirely favorable. The handles of the walk-behind tractors rotate and are removable, they have the ability to be adjusted horizontally and vertically.
The process of starting the machine consists of several stages:
- opening the gasoline tap;
- the location of the choke lever in the starting position;
- turning off the ignition;
- repeated pumping of the mechanism using a manual starter;
- ignition on;
- single jerk of the starter.
After the walk-behind tractor is started, the choke lever must be switched to the "work" mode. Some Energoprom models have electric starters, in which case it is worth starting a walk-behind tractor like a regular car. These motoblocks have pulleys that allow you to easily adjust the power of the device.
All models of "Farmer" walk-behind tractors: classifications and their features
To date, the manufacturer "Farmer" has created several dozen small agricultural machinery, which differ in several criteria:
- A set of functions performed: walk-behind tractors themselves - in addition to working as a rotary tiller, they are adapted for the transportation of heavy loads; lightweight walk-behind tractors - designed only for tillage tasks;
- Type of power plant: Gasoline - most often 4-stroke models; Diesel - the most productive cars among all those produced by the manufacturer;
- Power level: light motoblocks that do not develop more than 3 hp. - in one pass, a 55 cm strip of soil is loosened by 8 cm; household series of motoblocks, the power of which does not exceed 5 hp. - wider gripping devices, adapted for clay and loamy soils, into which the cutter can penetrate 15 cm; semi-professional equipment with a potential of 7 liters. with. and reversibility - ideal for 10-15 acres of area, which is plowed 28 cm deep when capturing a strip of 95 cm; motoblocks "Farmer" with a traction of 9 hp - professional agricultural machines of the PRO and PRO-S series, effective in large land holdings; super-strong walk-behind tractors generating effort from 13 hp up to 15 hp, comparable to the power of some mini tractors. This is mainly a line of devices marked "FM".
Features and design of harvesters Torum
The series of these units is represented by several models, the most efficient and powerful of which is considered the Torum 780. Excellent performance indicators are provided by the innovative ARS threshing system, which includes a rotary header with a rotating deck, a continuously variable drive and an angled beater chamber.
Also, among the advantages of the series, the following qualities of Torum units stand out:
- different power, depending on the model, which allows you to select the unit based on the upcoming operating conditions;
- the ability to convert the undercarriage to four-wheel drive or tracked propellers;
- the cabin of the units is modern, comfortable, double;
- quick change of headers is ensured by the presence of a unified hydraulic connector;
- the ability to use different types of reapers allows you to use Torum to collect a variety of crops (from cereals to rapeseed);
- the movement and operation of the unit are controlled by the same manipulator.
There are no special differences in the design of Torum combines, depending on the model. The header on all units is installed at the front, there is a hydraulic drive and a system for repeating the relief. The cut crop enters the beater chamber, then into the rotary drum. Passing through a complex system of purification from foreign particles, the grain enters the hopper. The straw is crushed and removed separately.
Basically, the differences between the models lie in the power of the power plant. Let's consider the most popular models of Torum combines with specific examples.
Analogs
It is difficult to determine which of the new combines can be considered an analogue of the Torum, since each has its own purpose, from which the demand is formed. Harvesters of new models are more often mentioned among the popular among farmers:
- VECTOR 450 Track - with crawler chassis for larger footprint. This option is specially designed for operation in swampy places where rice grows, and other difficult soil conditions.
- ACROS 595. Adapted to any operating conditions. Recognized as the best vehicle in its class.
- RSM 161 is a machine with a capacity of up to 40 t / h. Designed for harvesting grain crops, legumes, oilseeds, cereals and row crops.

Claas 360
The 360th model "Claas" was produced in the period 2003-2009. and is currently on hold. Like other combines "Claas" of the Mega series, it is distinguished by an efficient threshing system, excellent maneuverability and rational consumption of fuel and lubricants. Due to the availability of unified spare parts and the simplicity of the mechanisms, this combine can be repaired without contacting technical support centers.
Advantages:
- exceeded power potential of the power plant;
- increased volume of the gas tank to work more time without stopping;
- possibility of equipping with a non-standard 9-meter header;

- 6-chord straw walker that handles straw with minimal damage;
- drum regulated by revolutions;
- extended concave angle;
- improved indicators of hydraulic control, which make it possible to simultaneously control several units;
- wear-resistant drive and V-belts;
- "Auto Countur" - copying mechanisms that allow you to adjust the reaping head to the unevenness of the surface.

Combine grain header
The grain header installed on the Torum combines is made by analogy with the headers of other grain harvesters of foreign and domestic production. It has a cutting part that cuts the stems at a given height.
The cutting height is provided by the guide shoes. The hydraulic drive maintains the set pressure, which allows you to control the control of the cutting height. An eccentric reel guides the crop for cutting. The cutting mechanism can easily cut the stems of all types of cereals. The auger moves the crop towards the center. Next, she is sent to the feeder chamber.
