Features of operation
Before you start using the walk-behind tractor, it is necessary to run in the engine so that all the elements run in to each other, and the grease gets even into hard-to-reach areas
It is important that the walk-behind tractor is always kept clean. It is also necessary to carry out regular maintenance.
After each use, remove all dirt and adhering pieces of earth from the structure, as residues can cause corrosion. Check the bolts before use, as they may gradually loosen during operation.

Potato planter
But the potatoes, before digging out, must first be planted. It takes a long time to do this with a shovel, because there is a need to automate this process. This requires a potato planter.
From the manufacturer
Officially, the manufacturer of potato planters is not provided by the Smorgon plant. However, due to the versatility of MTZ-09N, you can always pick up products from other manufacturers.
Potato planter KSP-02
Analogs
Here are presented universal potato planters, which are well combined with any MTZ walk-behind tractor.
Potato planter KSP-02
The principle of operation of this potato planter is based on the front plow, which digs the furrows to plant the potatoes, then after a certain time step, the conveyor belt puts the potatoes in the ground, and then two discs bury the furrow at the end. This allows you to plant potatoes of any size at a fixed depth.
Features of the potato planter KSP-02:
- The hopper can be loaded with 20 kg of potatoes, which is almost equal to two buckets.
- The planting depth is adjustable by submerging the front plow from 5 to 18 cm.
- The transport chain is capable of handling potatoes ranging in size from 2 to 5 cm.
- The planting step can be adjusted 19, 21 or 28 cm.
- Potatoes are planted thanks to an elevator chain with special potato baskets.
- The track size is adjustable from 52 to 62 cm.
- The potato planter comes with lugs 34 cm in diameter and 11 cm in width.
- The working speed of the MTZ 09n walk-behind tractor with a potato planter should not exceed 4 km / h.
- This equipment weighs 27 kg.
The kit includes a universal coupling that allows you to aggregate the potato planter with the MTZ-09N walk-behind tractor, as well as adjust the size of the plow plunge angle and position the potato planter at an angle in relation to the walk-behind tractor.
Potato planter KS-1
This is another type of potato planter, the principle of which is similar to the previous model.
Potato planter KS-1
Features of the potato planter KS-1:
- Large potato tank (40 kg can be loaded at a time).
- Instead of rotating discs, the trench is closed with conventional steel plates.
- The distance between the planted tubers is fixed at 25 cm.
- The performance of the MTZ walk-behind tractor together with KS-1 is approximately 0.2 ha / h.

The work of the potato planter together with the fertilizer hopper on the MTZ walk-behind tractor
Here are a few reviews from the forums regarding the work of a potato planter with an MTZ-09N walk-behind tractor.
Gregory:
“The main thing is to set the plow depth correctly. Usually the shovel sinks 8-10 cm into the ground.Therefore, the plow must also be lowered to the same depth. Firstly, this depth is enough for normal germination of potatoes, and secondly (if there is no potato digger) then it will be easier to get it out of the ground. "
Leon:
“I bought a potato planter, but with steel plates at the back for burying. As a result, I had to convert them to rotating discs, since the plates simply acted as an anchor, and I had to constantly raise them, and with the weight of my MTZ, more than 150 kg, plus this 20 kilogram karatofeleplaner, you do not stretch too much. I made discs of metal, bolted them together, spin with a bang "
Potato planter and potato digger
It is difficult for farmers who grow potatoes to do without a special unit - a potato planter. As for harvesting, a potato digger is successfully used for this. Such useful devices greatly simplify and speed up the work of farmers. The vibratory conveyor digger is very popular. It can lift the fruit from a depth of up to 20 cm, and with the help of vibration, pieces of soil are removed from the potatoes.
The potato planter works on a simple principle. The plow makes holes for planting, after which a special device puts the potatoes in them, and two disks bury it.
Snow blowers
Removing snow without using special equipment is very difficult. For this, it is recommended to use the Belarus walk-behind tractor with additional equipment. Two types of attachments are suitable for clearing snow.
- Snow blower - removes snow with a bucket and throws it out 2-6 m. The distance depends on the type and power of the walk-behind tractor.
- The blade is very similar to a shovel, has an arc shape and is at an angle. When moving, it throws snow in one direction, thereby removing it from the road.
Snow blowers are distinguished by a complex device, their cost is several times higher than the price of dumps. In this case, both types of hinge plate perform the same functions.
Cutters and cultivators
The main tasks of the Belarus walk-behind tractor are plowing and milling the soil. Attachment types such as cutters and cultivators are used to loosen and mix the topsoil. This improves soil fertility. Also, devices that plow the land include a harrow and a plow. Each type of construction is used in specific cases.
The milling cutter is used for processing medium soils in large areas with a hard surface.
- Experts recommend using the plow for deep tillage with the MTZ walk-behind tractor. It falls into the soil 20 cm, thoroughly mixing the lower layers of the earth.
- The harrow is necessary for operation after plowing the area with a plow or cultivator. This unit crushes piles of earth that have remained after previous work.
Advantages of MTZ 09N
This walk-behind tractor is popular for a reason, because it has a number of advantages:
- the body is made of cast iron, which provides a high level of strength and reliability;
- lack of cables;
- the gearbox is also made of cast iron;
- the unit has a reverse gear, which greatly simplifies the work on the site;
- the handle is made of ergonomic materials;
- the device works almost silently;
- a small amount of fuel is consumed during operation;
- multifunctionality allows you to significantly simplify and speed up work;
- the unit is resistant to long-term daily loads in all weather conditions;
- good adhesion to the soil is provided;
- there is a steering lock.
The balance of the weight of the walk-behind tractor makes it possible to easily move the device along the ground. Thanks to the ergonomics, the operator needs to make a minimum of effort to ensure good soil cultivation. All these advantages make it possible to successfully use the MNZ 09N walk-behind tractor in various situations. The only drawback of this unit is its rather high cost, which is why not everyone can afford such a purchase.
Connecting a walk-behind tractor is extremely simple. You do not need to have special skills or knowledge for this. The only nuance that can upset the owner of the walk-behind tractor is the weight of the device. Due to the fact that some models are quite heavy, it will be difficult for the owner alone to lift the unit and install it.
Description
There are two types of these attachments for MTZ walk-behind tractors:
Motoblock MTZ-09N
Segmental
They cut the grass thanks to two rows of sharp knives that move towards each other.
Segment mowers are primarily intended for processing densely overgrown lands, with a large amount of thick grass, reeds, dead wood. After mowing, the grass lays down in a chaotic manner.
Rotary
Their operating principle is based on rotating knives. They allow you to carry out work faster, but cannot cope with such a load as segment ones. Rotary mowers are designed to work with well-groomed areas. The grass after them lays down in an even layer behind the walk-behind tractor.
Rotary
The official manufacturer MTZ offers two options for rotary mowers.
KRM-1
Used to treat lawns in parks and gardens. In agriculture or industrial farming, it is used extremely rarely, most often for harvesting small weeds. It is attached to the gearbox of the MTZ-09N walk-behind tractor.
Feature of the rotary mower KRM-1
- The design provides for three knives, which are located along the perimeter of the disc at the same distance.
- The advantage is the ability to change knives after they are dull. To do this, it is necessary to remove the lower half-disc, unscrew the bolts and change the blades. This is all described in the instructions for use.
- It is possible to set the braid to the side.
- The total weight of the structure is 45 kg.
- The speed of the KRM-1 together with Belarus is usually up to 2.5 km / h.
- The width of the treated surface is 60 cm.
KRM-2
Designed to work specifically with large areas. It mows the grass evenly and accurately, and its high performance allows you to work with large areas. This model is larger than the KRM-1.
Rotary mower KRM-2
Feature of the rotary mower KRM-2
- The working width is 74 cm, which is 14 cm longer than the first model.
- Thanks to the wide grip, productivity increased by 450 m2 per hour.
- The working speed of Belarus together with KRM-2 is 2.5 km / h.
Installation accessories
No additional components are needed for their work. They are delivered disassembled. It is necessary to assemble according to the instructions for use.

Segmental
Unfortunately, this option is not represented by the Smorgon plant and is not very popular with other manufacturers.
Segment mower
The reason is that they are less safe to operate and do not protect the operator in any way. In addition, the spread of grass is large and it is not often necessary to mow dense thickets of grass. They are wider, so maneuverability is greatly reduced.
Installation accessories
Pin
The mowers are connected directly to the PTO shaft and are secured with a pin. An important step is to check the reliability of the fastening of the knives on the disc. They must be firmly fixed, otherwise they can fly out and harm a person, animal or object.
Overview
Mowers for the MTZ walk-behind tractor are universal devices that increase the functionality of the unit. Designed to facilitate the collection and preparation of hay, used as attachments. Listed below are all the devices that are used to harvest hay:
- Mowers;
- Trimmers;
- Rake;
- Balers;
- Tedders.
Segment-type mower for walk-behind tractor
In the agricultural market, rotary and frontal mowers are offered to the attention of farmers. The latter, in turn, are divided into segment and flail.Before you buy a mower, determine for what purpose you need it. Based on the requirements, mowers are chosen according to the laying method:
- Into the rollers. With the help of such a device, you can save on buying a rake, since the attachment itself forms the hay.
- In the mowing. After mowing the grass in this way, additional time and effort is required to collect the mown vegetation.
- Mulching. The equipment is capable of mulching, making it possible to produce fertilizer for shrubs and trees.
When choosing a mower, you also need to pay attention to the mowing height, which varies from 5 to 20 cm.In order to quickly and efficiently mow the grass on the site, choose wide devices
An important nuance is the way of attaching the hitch to the MTZ walk-behind tractor:
- The front is the most common type of attachment.
- Rear - used for mowing grass on lawns.
- Sideways as a semi-hitch - the use of such models is most common with mini tractors, when the main weight falls on the support wheel.
- The power of the walk-behind tractor plays an important role, since the speed of movement and efficiency in work depend on it.
- The speed must be high, otherwise the grass will wrinkle and not mow.
Adapter and trailer
Motoblock "Belarus" is a device on one axle, equipped with two wheels. The machine is operated by the hands of the operator walking from behind. If work is carried out on a large area, then they require serious physical effort. An excellent solution in this case is to install an adapter that is attached to the walk-behind tractor. This element greatly facilitates the operator's work.
Another useful addition to the walk-behind tractor is the trailer. This is a kind of cart or stroller that the owner can fill with the harvested crop. The power of the 09N unit allows transporting goods weighing up to 500 kg. The trailer can be used to facilitate transportation. The designs of modern trailers are varied, you can choose any option. The carrying capacity of the devices also varies.
Segment mowers for MTZ
One of the types of front-mounted mowers are segment devices that perfectly cope with mowing any grass on various surfaces. Such a mower can be used for mowing vegetation, even on hilly terrain, since the design allows you to easily bend around all obstacles. The grass is cut at the root, so it can also be used to eliminate weeds.
They are distinguished by the method of attachment:
- Front, when the three-ribbed pulley is engaged;
- Rear, using PTO and adapter.
The mowers are characterized by a simple design and low maintenance requirements. The basis is a rigid frame, to which bars with knives are attached, working on the principle of scissors. One row is stationary, while the other rotates and thereby cuts off the blades of grass.

Operating rules
When working with mowers, several operating rules must be observed:
- Check the attachment of the knives before work;
- Lubricate rotating elements so that they rotate freely;
- Watch out for flying stones and other solid particles;
- It is forbidden to direct the mower forward if there is a person or glass structures in front of the walk-behind tractor;
- When using the mower for a long time, it is recommended to use an adapter. This will help to reduce the physical stress on the operator, and it will be much easier to mow the plants. However, use the adapter and mower only on level ground.
