For mowing fields and lawns
If the farm has cows, then before plowing the field, it is advisable to mow the grass from it, which can be dried. Mowing is best done with a mounted rotary mower equipped with knives. This is a rather large and effective device that makes a strip up to 80 cm wide. In an hour of operation, the rotary can cut up to 0.15 hectares of dense vegetation.
For quick and high-quality harvesting of hay, it is advisable to purchase a pick-up for a walk-behind tractor. Typically, such equipment is used to equip wheeled tractors. However, the design of the Neva walk-behind tractor allows the use of small balers. To reduce manual work to a minimum, you should buy a baler that performs the entire list of operations with mown hay - compacts it, rolls it into rolls and ties it with a nylon cord. All that remains for the operator of the walk-behind tractor is to attach a trailer to the unit and collect the packed hay into it.
When processing virgin lands, a lot of waste is generated in the form of roots, branches and thick stems. Do not rush to burn them or remove them to the edge of the field. Plant residues can be used to make excellent nutritious compost. For this, a branch shredder is purchased for a walk-behind tractor. It turns useless waste into valuable fertilizer. The chopper for the walk-behind tractor can be delivered to the field on a trailer to the unit itself or in the trunk of a car. The chips obtained as a result of crushing can be left in place or partially removed for further use in floriculture.
Weights for motoblocks
The main problem for the Neva MB walk-behind tractor is slipping on wet ground and on the rise. With a low weight (98 kg), the unit does not exert sufficient pressure on the ground to create a reliable grip with it. Lightweight attachments do not help eliminate this disadvantage.
To increase the weight, the following devices are attached to the cultivator and walk-behind tractor:
- Wheel weights. Factory products are monolithic iron circles or hollow containers filled with sand. Homemade products are not inferior to factory counterparts in quality. They are made from barbell discs, cast from concrete, or assembled from parts of a metal keg. Weights are attached to the axle shaft hub. Their weight can be 20-50 kg per wheel.
- Weights for the body. They are made in the form of a frame made of steel corners rigidly fixed to the unit frame. Drawings and calculations are made in advance so that the frame fits exactly into place. Pieces of iron or containers with water / sand are attached to the frame.
- Steel wheels with grousers. Instead of a tire, these products have a steel strip to which plates of the same material are welded. The lug diameter varies between 30-70 cm, width - 10-20 cm, weight - 15-50 kg.
Having made the walk-behind tractor heavier, you can count on its even movement along the site, even when processing virgin lands. After that, you need to purchase or make your own equipment attached to the Neva walk-behind tractor. The scope of agricultural activity is quite wide, in order to cover it all, you will need a wide variety of attachments for the Neva MB-2 walk-behind tractor.
Attached snow removal equipment
Almost all models of the walk-behind tractor are adapted for attaching devices for cleaning the local area from snow.
You can equip the Neva with the following snow removal equipment:
- Rotary canopy SMB-1. The product is rigidly attached to the hitch and connected to the power take-off shaft.The snowplow captures a strip 60 cm wide with a cover height of up to 25 cm. The captured snow is thrown to the side at a distance of 5 m. At an average speed, a walk-behind tractor with a snowplow can handle up to 150 meters of tracks and paths per hour. The rotary mechanism successfully copes with crust and packed snow.
Blade knife. It is used to remove snow drifts and clear garden paths from fresh snow up to 20 cm deep. Depending on the model of the canopy, the width of the knife can be 60-100 cm. The manufacturer produces stationary dumps with the ability to adjust the angle horizontally.
Rotating brush. Designed for cleaning freshly fallen snow on a flat surface (platforms, paths). The capture width is up to 90 cm. In some models, the rotor mechanism can be rotated. Attachment weight - 50 kg.
After the snow melts, you can attach a pump to the walk-behind tractor. With its help, water is pumped out of drainage wells, flooded basements and lowlands. Neva will help out in the event of an accident on the power lines. A portable generator up to 5 kW is connected to the power take-off shaft, which is quite enough for the full functioning of the house, outbuildings and external lighting.
Trailed equipment
The capabilities of the Neva brand walk-behind tractor are not limited only to plowing and soil cultivation. Living in a private house is inextricably linked with the need to transport various goods. The design of the unit assumes the possibility of attaching a wheeled cart or sleds on skids to it. The trolley is equipped with one or two seats. The location of the operator's seat provides convenient access to the walk-behind tractor controls. If necessary, the trolley is equipped with a headlight and marker signals.
The overall dimensions of the trailer are 2200x1130x960 mm with a body size of 1150x835x250 mm. Depending on the trailer model, their carrying capacity is 150-250 kg, not including the operator's weight. The weight of the trailers themselves varies between 85-130 kg. The bogies are designed to travel on level ground at a maximum speed of 12 km / h without tight turns. It is allowed to move on curved sections at a speed not exceeding 4 km / h.
Trailed sleighs are designed for transporting goods, transporting people on snow and swampy terrain. The average size of a sled is 200-250 cm in length, 120-140 cm in width and 20-40 cm in height. Sleds are made of plastic, weigh 10-15 kg.
