Assembly diagram
If the plow is made independently, then after all the elements are available, they must be correctly assembled into a single structure. The ploughshare will need to be placed on an additional sheet using wedges with an angle of 25 and 42 degrees. The element must be welded, but they do it pointwise and necessarily on both sides.
The side flap is attached to the ploughshare so that it is located in the vertical plane, but protrudes by 7 millimeters. In turn, the shield must be 8 millimeters higher than the share blade - if this requirement is not met, then the plow will not be able to fulfill the task assigned to it. The shield is also welded. The blade is attached to the share, and this must be done in such a way that there is not even a minimum gap.
Only then do they work again with welding and attach the shield from the side to the spacer bar and the plate at the base. With the help of a chisel, an additional sheet is separated, the seams are polished with high quality.

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT FOR CULTIVATORS
The plow is intended for basic tillage. Working the soil plu-
hom, you cut and turn the top layer of the earth, thereby saturating
oxygenate the soil, while reducing the number of weeds. The soil
becomes softer and more pliable, thereby facilitating further
sowing of various crops.
INSTALLATION AND USE
To install the plow on the cultivator, an appropriate coupling is required (when
purchased separately). Optimum plowing depth, depending on the type
soil, adjustable using additional holes in the rack
plow and hitch bracket. For plowing, install wide metal wheels on the cultivator.

How to properly plow with a cultivator?
Regardless of which cultivator you choose, plowing the land must be done according to certain rules. Suppose a Carver cultivator is used for work, first the owner runs the equipment in, inspects all the parts and checks their performance. Only then does he start plowing itself.
Before starting work, you need:
- Prepare the soil, remove stones and large branches.
- Install the plowing attachment.
- Inspect the attachment of the cultivator and set the height of its handle.
You need to plow with a motor-cultivator in closed shoes and pants, your feet should be kept at a certain distance from the equipment. Do not use the forward and reverse handles at the same time, one of them should be released.
Plowing the land with a motor-cultivator should take place on slightly damp soil and provides for the observance of some recommendations.
- A rectangular garden is processed "in a circle".
- A square area is plowed in a "zigzag" manner.
- You can plow in patches to avoid hitting plants or trees.
- Depending on the type of soil and the complexity of the work on it, the speed and depth of plowing varies.
- On the ground with small stones, work at minimum speed.
- If the area is narrowing, you can reduce the strip width by removing the outer cutters.
- During plowing of the beds, at the end of each of them, free areas are left, which you can go to in order to go to the aisle.
The technique does not need to be pushed hard in front of you, it is enough to set it in the right direction. If the cultivator stops slightly, you can shake it to continue driving. Do not follow the machine, trampling the plowed soil. Just unfold the handle and walk alongside.
Cultivating the land with a cultivator provides for smooth and easy work on the site. If the equipment is buried in the ground, it is necessary to swap the cutters or adjust the position of the wheels.
After all the work, the metal parts of the cultivator are wiped with a rag, the cutters are washed and wiped dry.
You can also watch a video on how to properly till the soil.
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.
Homemade single-body plow
The simplest, but at the same time effective design of the plow is a single-body plow.
This design is applicable for making it with your own hands at home. Manufacturing does not require special tools and devices, as well as special skills; the tools available in the workshop of home craftsmen will be enough.
Ploughshare
The experience of the owners who use walk-behind tractors equipped with plows in their field work shows that the ploughshare must be removed periodically in order to sharpen it before starting work. When choosing materials for making a share, we recommend using alloy steel 9XC, used in the manufacture of circular saws.
45 steel can be used, but will need to be hardened to HRC 50-55. It is not excluded the use of conventional steels, including St. 5, which are not hardened, but can be brought to the desired quality if the edge is beaten off with a hammer and sharpened.
Dump
The plow blade can be made by different methods, we will consider some of them so that we can choose the most convenient and affordable in terms of materials and cost.
- The dump is made of steel sheet with a thickness of 3.0–4.0 mm. For manufacturing, bending rollers are required to give the blade a curved shape. The workpiece is cut according to the template, then passed through the rollers and brought to the required shape with a hammer.
- You can make a blade using a steel pipe with a diameter of 0.55-0.6 m and a wall thickness of 4.0-5.0 mm. Prepare a cardboard template in advance, put it on the pipe so that the angle formed by the bottom edge and the horizontal of the pipe is 20-30 °. The contour is outlined, cut out with a gas burner, then processed with an emery or grinder. If necessary, you can fix the shape with a hammer.
- In the manufacture of the blade, a steel sheet can be used, but the shape can be given after preheating the workpiece by bending it along the matrix, for example, by taking the blade of a purchased plow.
Regulation on heavy implements
Above, the technology for adjusting light motor vehicles was described, which is mainly used in summer cottages. But there are also heavy modifications. Their main difference is that the heavy ones are several times more powerful and massive than the rest of the models. In addition, they are equipped with diesel engines. This choice is explained by the fact that with an equal number of revolutions, a diesel engine has a higher torque than a carburetor one. Installation and adjustment of the plow for this type of equipment does not differ at all from those presented above. The only thing that needs to be indicated is that it is advisable to carry out the adjustment by 2 workers due to the fact that the mass of heavy units sometimes exceeds 200 kilograms.
