Motoblock fireworks: a description of devices and an overview of popular models + customer reviews

Appointment

Motoblocks have a gasoline engine with a capacity of 3.5 to 7.5 liters. with., which sets in motion various working elements. At the same time, different trailed means are often used: rotors with special cutters, plows, mowers, snow removal equipment, carts, brushes, sprayers, which can be installed on this walk-behind tractor.

The walk-behind tractor is designed for operation in areas with mild climates. Its use as a soil cultivator will be especially profitable at ambient temperatures from +1 to + 40 ° C. In the case of strict adherence to the operational rules, maintenance and storage, which are indicated in the manual (supplied with the walk-behind tractor), then the service life will be many times longer

Please note that the first 25 hours of operation of the unit are considered the period of "running-in" the engine (grinding the moving parts of the engine to each other) and other mechanisms. Therefore, you should not immediately use the potential of the walk-behind tractor at full capacity immediately from the moment of purchase.

To use a walk-behind tractor, you do not need any special skills, but it must be borne in mind that certain skills are required to use some trailed tools. For example, in the process of soil cultivation, the area between the cutter and the gearbox housing tends to become clogged with various debris (stones, grasses and other objects). If the space is still clogged, in order to avoid damage to the V-belts, it is necessary to stop the engine and clear the objects stuck in the cutters.

General specifications

Engines

The manufacturing plant took seriously the choice of engines for its motoblocks: regardless of the popularity of the brand, before making the decision to use the motor in the assembly, all of them were thoroughly tested in the laboratories of the Scientific and Production Center for suitability for Salyut-100.

The main parameters for getting on the cultivator: stable operation, high motor resource, low noise and vibration (affect the safe duration of operation). Therefore, we can say that Salyut-100 is equipped with only the best engines, and you can be sure that the product will last a long time.

The most popular among the "Salyut-100" is the Chinese Lifan model 168F-2 - the relatively low cost of the engine affects the final price of the walk-behind tractor.

American engines are installed at 6.5 HP: Briggs & Stratton Vanguard and I / C and Kohler series. Japanese engines are Subaru EX17 and Honda GX 200 and GC 190 model.

The most powerful in the lineup is now the Salyut-100 with a 7 hp Hwasdan H170F engine (Lifan 170F line).

Reducer

In the new models of Salyut-100 motoblocks, a new gearbox is installed, the gears of which are made of high-strength steel. They can withstand enormous loads.

The gearbox is mechanical, oil-filled and fully gear - the latter distinguishes it favorably from the regulators of other motoblocks, which may additionally contain a chain transmission, which stretches, sags and can break from excessive loads. It is housed in a robust aluminum housing, and its reliable gear train has an extended service life of more than 3000 working hours.

The Salyut-100 reducer is equipped with three gears (2 forward, 1 reverse), and the control lever with neutral positions between the speeds is placed on the steering column for convenience.

The oil level in the gearbox of the motor cultivator is checked with a special dipstick, which is included in the kit in the spare parts kit.

Transmission

The gearbox of the Salyut-100 walk-behind tractor allows you to select the required speed during operation. Thanks to the checkpoint with a convenient location of the handle on the steering wheel, you can use equipment for transporting goods using a transport trolley.

The clutch mechanism on the Salyut-100 walk-behind tractor consists of the following parts:

• Drive V-belts (2 pcs.).
• Tension roller with lever.
• Recoil spring.
• Rod with control lever.

The V-belt drive transfers torque from the engine to the gearbox. By pressing the clutch lever, the belt tension roller rises, transmitting the rotation of the driving pulley of the running motor to the driven gearbox.

The engine pulley (SHOM) includes 4 strands of 2 pairs of different diameters. There are 3 grooves on the gearbox pulley, two of which are used by drive belts, and the middle one can be used to connect various active attachments. When the belts are rearranged into streams of smaller diameter on the motorized power take-off pulley, the Salyut-100 walk-behind tractor is adjusted to a reduced speed mode, which is necessary for performing some work (plowing virgin lands, cultivation, etc.).

Neva model range overview

Despite the popularity of some models, this is the Neva MKM 75 motor cultivator, the quality of the entire model range is different. The basis of the technique was developed back in Soviet times, which brought a number of features to the model:

• high-quality assembly;

A set of 6 cutters can be installed on the MB 80, which are included in the basic set.

Despite its low power, the unit is often used with various attachments, including a mower and a potato digger.

A feature of the Subaru engine is considered to be the lower location of the valve system. In total, the unit has three speeds, but there is also a return gear, which makes the technique convenient for small and narrow areas.

MK 100 05

MK 100 05 belongs to the 100th series of the Neva. Most often, a low-power engine from Honda is installed on the equipment. But this does not significantly affect performance, which allows you to perform work of various levels of complexity. The main application is considered to be soil cultivation. The horizontal grip of the cutters is 1 meter, which is quite enough for the usual size of the site.

MK 100 06

MK 100 06 is also referred to the hundredth series. But there are some nuances here. The technique is used in small and medium-sized areas. Low power is not enough for heavy soil such as loam. The main application is considered to be a small area with developed soil. The walk-behind tractor is one of the small units for horticulture.

MK 200

MK 200 is considered a versatile mechanism that can be converted into a small tractor. There is a professional powerful Subaru EX17 engine. The standard motor life reaches 5000 hours. A chain reducer is used, which is protected from dirt and damage by an aluminum housing. It is possible to use any attachment tool.

Cutters

The cutters have a sickle shape, forged knives are made of special spring steel (6 pieces), they differ in right and left execution.

Cutters

Wheels

Wheels with pneumatic tires are used to transport goods and the walk-behind tractor. For optimal cross-country ability, instead of pneumatic wheels, when operating with attachments, metal lugs are mounted.

When working with a vegetable digger or double-row hiller, it is recommended to install wheels with a diameter of more than 500 mm.

Coupling bracket

User manual

Immediately after setting up the unit, run it in for at least 25 hours.During the break-in, you need to work very carefully, without subjecting the device to excessive loads.

To ensure a long service life of agricultural machinery, winter preservation is very important. Failure to comply with the rules for storing the cultivator during cold weather is fraught with serious breakdowns and the need for its overhaul. At the end of garden work and before the onset of cold weather with a cultivator, you need to do the following:

• drain the remaining fuel from the tank;
• disassemble the device, and check all its parts, replace the damaged ones with new ones;
• drain the oil from the gearbox and the engine, filter it and fill it back (if there is a large amount of residue in the oil, it is better to replace it with a new one, because the presence of oil is critical in the fight against corrosion);
• thoroughly clean the cultivator from dirt, then dry it so that no moisture remains on its parts;
• sharpen the cutting parts of your cultivator's attachments;
• if your equipment has a battery, remove it and store it all winter in a warm place;
• assemble the cultivator, place it where it will be stored, and cover with tarp or plastic wrap.

Some farmers advise leaving the gas tank not empty when preserving, but, on the contrary, full to capacity. On the one hand, the presence of fuel in the tank will completely protect it from corrosion, on the other hand, in the spring the fuel will still have to be replaced with fresh one, so the choice of the optimal wintering option is yours.

At the beginning of the season, it is necessary to inspect the unit, clean or replace all parts that corroded during the winter. Then you need to replace the fuel in the tank, check the condition of the spark plug. Then open the fuel cock, close the choke, start the engine. The presence of smoke when the engine is first started indicates oil combustion, and not a breakdown.

Attachments

Attachments for motor-cultivators "Neva" are developed by the manufacturer "Krasny Oktyabr".

According to the manufacturer's characteristics, such additional attachments and trailed equipment are produced for the Neva motor cultivators.

Milling cutters

Milling cutter

Depending on the model and modification of the cultivator, the device can have from 2 to 6 cutters. Six milling cutters are currently the maximum number for items available for sale and production.

An additional set of cutters contains two pieces of parts, one additional on each side of the cultivator.

Milling cutters installation scheme on MK-100

Milling cutters on all Neva motor-cultivators are carried out manually, using bolts, nuts and an adjustable wrench. Convenience of installing an additional pair or replacing cutters with grousers is provided by the front wheel - the cultivator can be installed on the wheel and quickly change or add a hitch.

Do not store the cutters dirty, check the integrity of the cutter blade and periodically sharpen the knives on them, or replace them with new ones.

Hillers

Hiller OH-2

For motor cultivators of different series and modifications, different hillers are used.

For example, for the MK70 and MK80 series, the manufacturer recommends purchasing an OH-2 hiller. To install it, you need a hitch, sold separately. This hitch is universal and is also suitable for attaching the Mole plow to these devices.

For the MK100 and MK200 series, the manufacturer recommends buying the following models of hillers: STV-NPD, single-row OND, double-row CTB, single-row disc. All hillers, except for the two-row OND, are attached to the cultivator using the universal coupling H (01.06.50.00.00); double-row OND is attached with a hitch 005.09.1600.

Potato digger KV-2

Potato digger KV-2

The potato digger KV-2 is designed for the MK-70 and MK-80 cultivators series. No coupling is required for its aggregation with the device.Reviews of farmers confirm that some masters make such additional parts on their own, relying on the individual characteristics of the cultivator.

Hitch

Coupling mechanism

Tiller couplings are a must. This indispensable part allows you to connect the "body" of the cultivator with attached or trailed equipment. Couplings are universal, suitable for fastening several types of additional parts, as well as special - for fastening one type of equipment. These fasteners differ in the inner diameter of the sleeve, height, weight.
