Motoblock "Neva" is a versatile equipment that is capable of processing various types of soil. To carry out a large number of work in areas with different soils, the plow must consist of a geometric share and a heel and be made of durable and hardened metal. Most plows are collapsible. The immersion depth of the plow for the Neva walk-behind tractor is 25 cm, and the working width is 20 cm. Manufacturers produce several types of attachments.
- Rotary - consists of several blades. The disadvantage is one-way tillage.
- Reverse - used for soils with a hard structure and difficult terrain. Feather-like appearance.
- Single-body - consists of one share. The disadvantage is the ability to process only soil with a loose structure.
Specialists pay special attention to Zykov's plow, which consists of the following elements:
- support wheel;
- double-sided body;
- share and blade;
- field board;
- rack;
- plow body with swivel mechanism.
The double-sided body with a share and a blade allows not only plowing the soil, but also turning it over, and the field board reliably fixes the structure and makes it stable. The two-turn plow has right and left plowshares and allows work in both directions. To change the working plow, simply press the pedal, which fixes the position of the rack, and move the device to the desired location.
The most popular in recent years is the rotary plow, the plowing depth of which is more than 35 cm. The disadvantage is the high price range. Advantage - the ability to use on complex areas of irregular geometric shape. When choosing a plow, it is necessary to take into account the type of soil, the power of the walk-behind tractor and its model.
The weight of the most popular plow models ranges from 3 kg to 15 kg, respectively, the dimensions also vary. In the event of a breakdown, you can replace the plow with special mounted cutters. Manufacturers produce several models of cutters:
- saber legs - for processing virgin lands;
- crow's feet - suitable for the hardest soil types.
Mini tractor plows
There are many varieties of plows. By the principle of their work, they can be divided into three groups.
From the name of the equipment it is already clear that the structure has a cutting part in the form of discs. It is intended for the processing of heavy soil, swampy soil, and virgin soil. The cutting discs rotate on bearings during operation, so they can easily break even a large number of roots in the ground.
As an example, consider the model 1LYQ-422. The equipment drives the power take-off shaft of the mini-tractor, rotating at a speed of 540–720 rpm. The plow is characterized by a plowing width of 88 cm and a depth of up to 24 cm. The frame is equipped with four discs. If, while plowing the ground, the cutting element hits the stone, it does not deform, but simply rolls over the obstacle.
Plow-dump
In another way, this equipment is called a reversible plow for a mini-tractor because of the principle of operation. After finishing the furrow cutting, the operator turns not the mini-tractor, but the plow. This is where the name came from. However, according to the device of the cutting part, it will be true when the plow is called a share-moldboard. It is available in one and two cases. The working element here is a wedge-shaped ploughshare. While driving, he cuts the soil, turns it over and crushes it. The plowing depth for single- and double-furrow plows is regulated by the support wheel.
Let's take the R-101 model as an example of a two-body plow for a mini-tractor. The equipment weighs about 92 kg. You can use a 2-body plow if the mini-tractor has a rear hitch. The support wheel adjusts the plowing depth. For this 2-body model, it is 20-25 cm.
A modern, but complex design for a mini-tractor is a rotary plow, consisting of a set of working elements fixed on a movable shaft. The equipment is characterized by ease of use. During soil tillage, the operator does not need to drive the tractor in a straight line. Rotary equipment is usually used in the preparation of soil for planting root crops.
Depending on the design of the rotor, the rotary plow is divided into 4 types:
- Drum-type models are equipped with rigid or spring pushers. There are also combined designs.
- Blade models are a rotating disc. 1 or 2 pairs of blades are fixed on it.
- The scapular models differ only in the working element. Instead of blades, blades are installed on the rotating rotor.
- The screw model is equipped with a working screw. It can be single and multiple.
The advantage of rotary equipment is the ability to loosen soil of any thickness to the required degree. The impact on the soil is from top to bottom. This makes it possible to use a rotary plow with a low tractive power of a mini-tractor.
Of all the types considered, the most demanded is the 2-body reversible plow. It consists of several frames on which tools of different purpose can be fixed. Such equipment is capable of two functions. For example, while plowing the soil, harrowing occurs simultaneously. However, a home-made plow for a mini-tractor is easier to make a single-body plow, but it is less efficient.
Installing and adjusting the plow
Before you start plowing the land, you should attach the plow to the walk-behind tractor. To do this, you need to connect them using a special coupler (usually it is not included in the delivery set and is sold separately).
Here is a detailed video instruction on how to prepare a walk-behind tractor for plowing:
The plow should be connected to the walk-behind tractor exclusively on a flat surface. Thanks to this, the correct adhesion can be achieved. Otherwise, the overall structure will be tilted and the plow will not function properly.
Then the plow must be adjusted for plowing. In its correct position, the field board should be parallel to the furrow line.
Here is a detailed video instruction on the main problems and nuances that may arise when adjusting the plow:
The depth of arable land can be set using special bolts by moving them in the vertical-longitudinal plane. The depth can be adjusted after plowing has begun. However, you should be careful and always follow the safety instructions.
The plow can be operated both when the walk-behind tractor moves forward, and when it moves back. Due to the fact that it can rotate around its axis.
The most common disadvantage in plowing is the fact that it is sideways. How to resolve this issue, see below:
For better grip, the walk-behind tractor should be equipped with metal grip wheels. They serve as additional stabilizers when plowing. Craftsmen make their own versions of such wheels. They simply pull the chains on standard tires, and you get a structure that is in no way inferior in its characteristics to special metal wheels.
Safety restrictions
work with the plow under the influence of alcohol or any other substance that slows down the reaction rate or attention;
work with a walk-behind tractor in case of malfunctions in the plow;
work with a walk-behind tractor with loose mountings;
make repairs or any manipulations while the plow is in motion.
These rules are simple and more than understandable to every sane person.
Often, before making any purchase, we consult with friends or acquaintances who have already bought a similar product or service. But what to do if no one of your acquaintances bought the plow? If you have the Internet, then you can always read the reviews of those who have already bought a plow for the Neva walk-behind tractor.
As for the reviews about this model on the Internet, there was no obvious criticism on this walk-behind tractor on the forums, most of the reviews are positive.
Here are some feedback from the forums.
Yuri:
“The problem with plowing the land has always been in our family. Either the tractor drivers do not have time, then they broke down, then some other nonsense will happen to them. And in the end, plowing the land before planting turned out with great difficulty. Not only do you walk around, humiliate yourself in front of them, but you also pay them money and buy fuel. It's just unbearable! Therefore, I decided to buy myself a Neva walk-behind tractor and immediately a plow to it. As a result, I was satisfied by a million percent. I am always confident that my land will be prepared for sowing and cultivated after the harvest, so I still do not depend on anyone. "
Igor:
“I bought a VRMZ plow and I am completely satisfied. Easy to install, without unnecessary details, it copes with its work at 5+. I have been using it for 3 years already. After work, I washed it, greased the joints with Litol, and put it on until the next season of necessity. "

Assembling the device
When drawing up a plow drawing, you will need to depict the following nodes:
- side pillar shield;
- rack;
- ploughshare;
- spacer plate;
- field board.
The ploughshare is made of alloy steel. But the shield can be made of steel grade St3. The same applies to the spacer plate and the base plate. The role of the field board will be played by a corner with a shelf of 30 mm. As for the stand, it will be based on a 40 mm pipe. All parts of the device must be made of thick cardboard, after which they are connected together with exposure to the required angles. If the cardboard model suits in all respects, you can start working with metal blanks.
When making a plow for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands, you will need to use an auxiliary steel sheet of a square shape with a side of 500 mm. Its thickness should be 3 mm. Prepare the welding machine as a tool. Using wedges with a 25˚ angle, place the share on the support sheet. After that, the parts are tacked on both sides by spot welding.
The side flap of the tine is connected to the plow share in a vertical position so that the edge goes over the edge of the share. The overlap should be 7 mm. The side shield should be raised higher in relation to the share blade by 10 mm
It is important to take into account that the share must cut the soil
The blade is then applied to the share so that there is no gap. The details should form one whole. The angle between the top edge of the mouldboard and the share blade should be approximately 7˚. When drawing up a drawing of a plow for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands, you should provide for fastening a ploughshare, which will consist of several parts, namely:
- screw;
- dump;
- nuts;
- plates;
- corner base.
The screw must have a countersunk head. As for the corner, you should take two; one of which will have a shelf of 30 mm, the other - 90 mm. If you are faced with the question of how to make a plow for a walk-behind tractor, then you should know that during assembly you may find that the edges or corners do not match. At the same time, the oval is finalized with a large hammer. After adjusting the blade to the share at the rear, spot-weld it using the same principle as with the side shield. The latter is welded to the base plate and the spacer bar.At the base to the plate, it is necessary to strengthen the corners for the stop.
After that, the tool is examined, then it can be scalded thoroughly. The auxiliary sheet is then deleted, because it was used for the assembly. You can separate it from the body with a grinder or a chisel. In the first case, a cut-off wheel is used. The stop corners are welded to the base plate in the next step. After the completion of welding, the seams should be cleaned, and the surfaces of the mouldboard and plowshare should be sanded.
Hillers for the MTZ walk-behind tractor
Hillers are important equipment to facilitate agricultural work. With this tool, you can quickly and easily make furrows for planting a variety of crops. But they are mainly used for hilling potatoes.
Universal hiller OU-00.000-01 for the MTZ walk-behind tractor
There are several types of hillers:
- Reversible type, consisting of two plows and are the most common;
- Disc type - considered the most efficient and making a furrow with the help of two rotating discs.
- The active type is referred to as special hillers, since this hiller first raises a layer of earth, crushes it, and then only discards it.
From the manufacturer
The proprietary model of the hiller, adapted for the Belarus walk-behind tractor, is OU-00000-01. The advantage of the model is the ability to adjust the distance between the two plows of which it consists. The width can vary from 45 to 70 cm, which is very convenient when the distance between the beds is different. The device itself weighs 20 kg, so Belarus can reach speeds of up to 4 km / h.

Analogs of hillers for the MTZ walk-behind tractor
If you consider an alternative to branded models, then you should opt for the products of the Lida Mechanical Plant, which produces plows and hillers adapted for Belarus. The model is called OK-2 and has the same parameters as the branded hiller. Besides the weight, which is 12 kg. and the immersion depth, which is slightly less than that of the original and is equal to 12 cm.
Okuchnik OK-2
A wide range of equipment is presented by the Agromotorservice company, among which there are disc and universal hillers. The consumer can choose for himself the optimal size of the discs, which are presented in various sizes from 18 to 36 cm in diameter, respectively, they are immersed in only half the diameter and only process one row.
Homemade hillers for the MTZ walk-behind tractor
The easiest and not laborious option is to make a reversible hiller, which consists of two plows. Making a disc and rotary hiller will require a lot of effort and patience.
Two plows are taken and cling to the frame, and then to the hitch in Belarus. The frame is made of a T-shape from a square tube.

How to adjust the plow on a walk-behind tractor?
The quality of plowing depends on how correctly you set up the plow on the walk-behind tractor. Adjusting the attachment is done in 3 steps, during which you must:
- adjust the plowing depth;
- adjust the slope of the field board:
- adjust the blade angle.
Plowing depth is the plowing depth when plowing the soil. As a rule, this value should correspond to the height of the bayonet of the shovel. If the immersion depth is insufficient, then as a result, most of the roots of the weeds will remain underground. If the immersion height is too high, it will lead to mixing of the fertile soil layer with the earth located below it. Because of this, the planted plants will be left without nutrients.
The plowing depth is adjusted by means of three bolts connecting the lock and plow shank.By lowering the plow or lifting it up, you can adjust the depth of its immersion in the ground.
The slope of the plow board is often referred to as the "angle of attack". This parameter implies the level of inclination of the soil cultivation plane in relation to the ground surface. The tilt of the field board is adjusted using a screw handle. This requires:
- Put the walk-behind tractor with a plow on several supports;
- Unscrew the handles so that the field board is on the ground;
- Twist the handle to the other side until the board hangs above the ground at a height of 2-3 cm.
If the "attack level" is too high, then the plow will cling to the ground, which will lead to constant slipping of the walk-behind tractor. If this parameter is too small, then the plow will not remove the layer of soil required for processing.
After completing the previous 2 steps, you can begin to adjust the blade angle. The procedure is as follows:
- To get started, install the walk-behind tractor with a plow on the edge of the garden and go through the first furrow. This is necessary in order to determine the depth of plowing the soil;
- While driving, try to keep a perfectly level trajectory so that the following furrows are also level. To obtain even furrows, you can use a thread stretched between the beginning and end of the row;
- Next, install the walk-behind tractor so that its wheel fits into the furrow, and the plow is perpendicular to the ground surface. For best results, use a square to adjust.
After completing all the above steps, you will set the walk-behind tractor plow as correctly as possible, which will help to achieve the best result when plowing the garden.
Preparing the walk-behind tractor
Having determined that medium and heavy types of this equipment are suitable for plowing the land with a walk-behind tractor using a mounted plow, we will figure out how to prepare the walk-behind tractor for operation.
Installation of ground hooks
First, you need to install soil hooks with a diameter of at least 50 cm, and a width of 18 cm. Having previously prepared the insert axles, place the equipment on a surface where it will stand level. Then, on the extended axles, replace the tires with wheels with ground lugs. After installing the hooks, you can proceed to hanging the plow on the walk-behind tractor.
Did you know? Initially, farmers loosened the soil with their hands, later with sticks, and only in the 4th millennium BC was the plow invented, which until the middle of the last century all over the world symbolized the beginning of a new life and was the emblem of agriculture.
Attaching and adjusting the plow
Plows are attached to the walk-behind tractor with couplings, different types of which have their own properties. Therefore, before installing the rider on the walk-behind tractor, it is necessary to carry out work to fasten it to the hitch. It must be secured with one pivot, while maintaining the horizontal clearance (5–6 °). By fixing the hitch with two pins or removing the backlash, you can get a rigid connection, which is a mistake.
Important! If the hitch does not have the possibility of backlash, then when the buried plow moves forward and the resistance force from the ground acts on it, not only the plow with the hitch will deviate to the side, but the entire walk-behind tractor, which will significantly complicate the work.
Next, you need to attach the plow to the hitch, without tightening the fastening nuts all the way, in order to start adjusting the plow. This operation is best done with an assistant. When the attachment is attached, you can proceed to setting the plow on the walk-behind tractor. Adjusting the plow is more difficult than attaching it to the machine, but this process is very important, because if you adjust the plow by mistake, you will have to put more effort into plowing and it will not be of good quality.
In order to adjust the opener on the walk-behind tractor, using the stands, you need to balance the plowing implement with the plow.To do this, on the same wooden stands, the height of which depends on the desired depth of plowing of the earth, we put soil hooks and the support leg of the walk-behind tractor. This must be done so that the walk-behind tractor does not outweigh the attachments.
The next step is to use the adjustment bolts to tilt the plow bed so that the heel is parallel to the ground. After that, you need to remove all supports and adjust the carrier so that the handles are flush with the belt of the worker plowing the soil. Thus, the hands do not get tired for a long time while working with the unit.
The last stage is to stabilize the level of the plowing plane. The angle between the sharp end of the plow and the ground can be adjusted by re-bolting or using the adjusting screw. The second way is more convenient and practical. To do this, on a walk-behind tractor, standing on a plane together with an attached plow, it is necessary to unscrew the adjusting screw so that the blade of the attachment "lies" on the ground.
Then - unscrew the screw in the opposite direction so that the "back" of the plow rises by 2.5 s. above the ground, no more and no less. If this so-called angle of attack is too large, or vice versa, the walk-behind tractor will not plow as it should.
Important! The choice of the plow directly depends on whether it will be possible to plow the soil. When buying attachments, it is imperative to take into account the fact that its size is due to the weight of the walk-behind tractor (for a unit weighing about 100 kg, a plow is suitable, the grip of which is 23 cm, the grip of a plow for machines weighing no more than 75 kg should be 18 cm).
Plow for walk-behind tractor Neva
Varieties of plow for the Neva walk-behind tractor. To save the cutters and keep them in working order for a long time, you will need to purchase a plow.
Next, we will consider in more detail which plows can be installed on the Neva walk-behind tractor.
The plow has a geometrically shaped steel share and a so-called heel for loosening virgin soil. After using it, it will be necessary to additionally walk on the ground with a cultivator.
Today, there are 3 main groups of this attachment for the Neva walk-behind tractor on the plow market:
- Single-hull. Equipped with one share and designed for light soil. In the process of working with such equipment, the soil is thrown to one of the sides, therefore, to move to the next row, you will need to go to the beginning of the furrow.
- Reversible plow for walk-behind tractor. The share is made in the shape of a feather, so this model is suitable for heavier soils. One of the popular models is the Zykov rotary plow, which has a left- and right-sided body, equipped with a ploughshare and a blade that allows you to turn and chop the soil.
- Rotary, having several working plowshares located on one axis, having a curved shape. In the process of plowing, he rotates and throws the soil.
In order to determine which plow is better, you should evaluate the quality of the soil on the site.
Installation of equipment, etc.
To properly attach the plow to the Neva walk-behind tractor, you will need to refer to the instructions for using the walk-behind tractor.
Let's take a look at how the plow setting is done. It must be connected to the hitch and then attached to the walk-behind tractor. To start using a cultivator with a plow attached to it, you need to change the wheels to lugs. The hitch has a special footboard, so no additional tools are required. It is worth installing the lugs so that, as a result, its narrow sections are located in the direction of the cultivator.
The plow, after attaching it to the walk-behind tractor, should in no case move or tilt. It may be necessary to change the plowing depth, which can be adjusted with multiple holes on the tine.
Before using the plow, it must be adjusted. To do this, it is necessary to combine the longitudinal axes of the cultivator with the plow, and also position it strictly vertically.You can adjust this position of the attachment after the hitch is installed. Adjust the position of the plow. To do this, place his heel parallel to the ground and fix this position using a bolt
It is important to remember that when carrying out such an action, the walk-behind steering wheel should be located in the center of the adjusting screw
You can build an alternative to the plow on the Neva walk-behind tractor with your own hands. The reviews of those farmers who made it on their own are the most positive. This will require a ploughshare made of steel, the thickness of which is 3-5 mm, and a blade, which can be used as a pipe with a diameter of about 50 cm and a wall thickness of at least 3 mm. The subsequent assembly of the plow is carried out in the same way as described above.
