How to make attachments for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands. Homemade from a walk-behind tractor: what and how can be done? Motoblock and what they can do

Foreword

There are a huge number of models and brands of attachments for motoblock traction, and you need to be well versed in the purpose of the devices in order to choose them correctly for work on the site.

A modern walk-behind tractor very much resembles an old plow, only equipped with a powerful engine and therefore does not need draft power in the form of a horse or ox. However, there is a more than significant difference in how exactly a motorized assistant can be used. We will talk about the cultivation of the land later, for a start we will consider individual prefixes. Suppose that the site has already been dug up and prepared for planting, now you need to choose according to the situation which attachment for the walk-behind tractor you will need. If you plant cereals, you need a seeder, but if you plan to grow potatoes, a special planter with a hopper for root crops, a plow and a hiller is attached to the walk-behind tractor.

When the land needs irrigation, it is useful to use such an attachment as a motor-block pump with a capacity of 15 cubic meters per hour and a water supply height of 30 meters with a suction depth of up to 5 meters. But the need for water supply does not happen often, especially if heavy rains fall, after which everything grows, for example, grass. And this is where you need a mower, a blade segment or rotary, which can be installed both in front and behind the walk-behind tractor.

The plow was previously mentioned for good reason, it is this attachment that is considered the main one for preparing the soil for the upcoming sowing by plowing. But the use of this device should be due to the large area of ​​​​the allotment, for small areas it is enough to use cultivation with cutters, which are installed instead of wheels or are hung as separate equipment for walk-behind tractors. They perform loosening, as well. For greater efficiency, the walk-behind tractor can move on lugs, which provide contact with the soil better than conventional treads..

Separately installed milling cutters are convenient in that the wheels give the walk-behind tractor smooth movement, and the knives rotating in the opposite direction easily sink into the ground without being pulled out of it in hard areas.

An important device is a harrow, the main purpose of which is loosening the soil by breaking large lumps, as well as removing dry plants and pulling out weed roots. Prefixes of this type are rotary, disk and tooth. Very often, to form even rows of beds, hillers are needed, which are V-shaped shares, in pairs, easily raking the soil into a high furrow. There are also disk models, paired rotating elements of which are installed at an angle of 45 degrees to the motion vector.

During the season, the site must be kept in order, which means that it is necessary to remove crumbling leaves and mowed grass from the ground in a timely manner, sweep the paths, and winter season clear their snow. After the mower mentioned above has completed its task, it is best to use a mounted rake, which is usually equipped with counterweights and a handle to control the rise.

It is more convenient to sweep leaves from the lawn and paths with a special rotary brush, the height of its rotation above the ground can be adjusted. With the help of the same attachment to walk-behind tractors, it is easy to deal with freshly fallen snow. If fairly solid snow masses have accumulated during the night, a rotary auger with a mounted “gun”, which shoots snow ground by teeth at a distance of up to 20 meters, will cope with them. If the snowdrifts are too large, a special blade is used, or, in other words, a bulldozer knife that acts like.

It's time to consider a device that provides maximum ease of use, namely, an adapter trailer, with which any walk-behind tractors and accessories are compatible. In fact, this is a rather long rod with an attached wheelset, which is called a driving module. Above the axle connecting the wheels, a seat for the operator is rigidly fixed, behind which there is a hitch for attachments. There are footrests at the front of the boom as well as a hitch control lever.

There is another similar narrow-purpose trailer, it is equipped with a body, under which the axle of the wheelset passes, while the seat is installed on the front side. The hitch bar has footrests, a brake lever, and often a body control, which can be manually tilted or dumped. The weight of the transported cargo rarely exceeds 500 kilograms. At the same time, a walk-behind tractor with such a trailer does not reach speeds of more than 10 kilometers per hour.

Such a variety of small-sized tractors as a walk-behind tractor is a universal small-scale mechanization tool that makes it easier for its owner to solve most of the issues related to the care of the land. A rich set of attachments allows you to significantly expand the functionality of such equipment.

Another advantage received by the owners of walk-behind tractors is the creation of new machines on their basis. Let's look at what can be done from a walk-behind tractor, and how.

1 Homemade options from a walk-behind tractor

If you have a walk-behind tractor and basic skills in working with equipment, have a desire to create and a small amount of money, you can convert your own walk-behind tractor into useful homemade of various kinds. There are many options for do-it-yourself home-made walk-behind tractors, it all depends on the fantasies and needs of the owner. For example, you can construct an ATV from a walk-behind tractor.

The breaking of self-propelled uniaxial devices is used by some owners for hunting or fishing, others for improving soil cultivation, and still others use them as a means of entertainment. The most common are the following typical designs:

  • snowmobile;
  • mini tractor;
  • all-terrain vehicle or karakat;
  • swamp;
  • quad;
  • motorized dog;
  • lawn mower;
  • dump;
  • , potato planter, etc.

The construction of alterations from a walk-behind tractor requires only elementary knowledge of mechanics and the presence of a bench tool. The strong and convenient design of the unit, well-designed by Russian and foreign engineers, allows you to improve the mechanism, convert it into a conventional mounted type apparatus or produce capital reconstruction when the walk-behind tractor will act as the main node.

1.1 Mini tractor and all-terrain vehicle

Mini-tractors are perhaps the most popular homemade walk-behind tractors. These designs are able to show a greater level of comfort during operation than their original predecessors. An important factor One thing to consider when building a mini tractor is the shift in the center of gravity. The problem is solved by installing a wide second driven axle (100-120 cm) and increasing the front one, originally installed on the walk-behind tractor.

For these purposes, it is advisable to purchase bushings or special extension cords. They are mounted on the drive shaft. In addition, it may be necessary to install a differential, which is due to its absence in some models. Installing a differential will increase maneuverability and stability homemade device. A mini-tractor, if desired, is complemented by a hand-made trailer for a walk-behind tractor.

The production of these units has become so widespread that today whole sets are sold for their more comfortable manufacture. Ready kits include:

  • footboards with pedals;
  • frame with motor mount;
  • steering with rods;
  • levers that turn off the blocking of the axle shafts;
  • rear linkage with manual lifting mechanism;
  • front beam with wheel hubs and brake discs;
  • wings.

The cost of this kit, as a rule, does not exceed 22-25 thousand rubles, but if it is available, there will be no problems with converting a walk-behind tractor into a mini-tractor. The result is a machine that will allow you to work the land much faster and easier. Each part included in the kit has been tested in various conditions, therefore precisely fitted and measured, which saves its buyer from unnecessary trouble.

Re-equipment of all-terrain vehicles from a walk-behind tractor is also not a difficult task. Those who had experience in creating a mini-tractor based on motor vehicles can simply figure out how to make a primitive all-terrain vehicle. To do this, it is necessary to put wide rubber on the wheel part of a home-made mini-tractor.

1.2 Karakat

An ordinary pneumatic or karakat does not have a complex technical base. At the first stage, you need to decide what will serve as a frame for the future product. This can be helped by a motorcycle URAL or IZH, from which the device is borrowed. At the second stage, the suspension and rear axle. Connect the used spars, steering sleeve and special rack with a strut. Karakat will be able to show sufficient maneuverability and softness thanks to such an independent rear and front suspension.

The third step is to mount the wheels. Usually take rubber low pressure from trucks of the Urals, KamAZ and their trailers. The metal hub helps attach the camera to the suspension. It has strong ribbons braiding across the wheel. Due to this, the steering becomes lighter, increases the safety of movement.

At the final stage, the engine and additional systems are installed. After the home-made karakat is equipped with suspensions and wheels, a walk-behind tractor motor is installed. In addition, the clutch, brakes, exhaust gas emission system are connected.

When the assembly is finished, test the device. If the testing did not reveal any deviations, the karakat is put into full operation. With such all-terrain vehicles from a walk-behind tractor, swampy terrain, territories in mud and river beds are easily overcome. They force shallow water barriers and are buoyant. In addition, they are used for traveling long distances for fishing, hunting. All-terrain vehicles from a walk-behind tractor can move at speeds up to 65-70 km / h.

1.3 Swamp and snowmobile

A swamp vehicle from a walk-behind tractor and a snowmobile have one requirement - the minimum pressure on the ground. For this, wide wheels are made. Buran is used as a device. They are well equipped with standard motoblock wheels. They put on lugs by lowering the wheels and inserting them inside homemade "bast shoes".

After inflating the tires, they dig tightly into the lugs. If a heavy unit is used for and a swamp, the structure of the technique remains practically unchanged. For a snowmobile, they often buy an attachment that is equipped with a motor cultivator. The design consists of a supporting frame, provision is made for fastening a walk-behind tractor, one-piece cast caterpillars and suspension elements. After doing the above manipulations, you will get a universal and multifunctional tool that can move over bumps and snow.

1.4 Motorized towing vehicle

Given the design flaws, the poor quality of parts and other shortcomings of the factory models of motorized towing vehicles, it is practiced to create such a product with one's own hands. A converted walk-behind tractor into a motorized towing vehicle or a motorized dog is preferable. Due to better grip, the device will save fuel, pull the shovel faster. A motorized towing vehicle from a walk-behind tractor, in addition, can be equipped with additional compartments designed for storing and transporting gear and working tools.

To assemble the model yourself, you need to purchase some parts ready-made. Rollers and caterpillars are taken from Buran. The engine is purchased separately. Preference is given to the Japanese Honda (9-13 hp). It is possible to use the motor that is equipped with a motorcycle or moped. It will be more powerful than the Ural chainsaw, the power of which is not enough for a full-fledged motorized towing vehicle. However, an engine that is too heavy will not work either.

The frame is self-constructed square shape pipes 20 × 40x120 cm. The finished frame needs fastening for the caterpillar, gearbox and engine. The control levers are made of the same material as the frame, the difference is only in the cross section of the pipe (in this case, round). Jumpers fasten two pipes, one of which serves for coupling and gas.

A body is formed from tin, protecting the engine mounted at the rear. If he stands in the front, they do without a case. The made unit will have a low speed, but easy turning.

1.5 Excavator

A compact excavator is also being built on the basis of a monoblock. Here you can not do without a drawing, which is easy to find on the Internet. Calculations are also needed, detailed drawing of mounting brackets, main components, a bucket and a manipulator, the purchase of used equipment, the manufacture of which is impossible at home.

The frame is made by electric welding from a channel size 8 or 10. A beam from a car trailer or car is attached to the frame, and without springs and a spring. A simplified option is to put the wheels on a homemade axle. Thus, the self-propelled chassis will be ready. The beam will need about 12 m. The excavator will not work without a manipulator. To create a two-knee mechanism, two welded channels and a rectangular profile are required, to which it is necessary to attach brackets made of metal 10 mm thick.

By engineering calculations required for this stage, fingers, brackets, movement mechanisms, hydraulic cylinder fastening elements are made. You will have to resort to turning, milling and drilling. You can buy a new bucket for an excavator (about $ 300). The oil pump for the hydraulic system is suitable for the type NSh-10, NSh-150, NSh-32. Cylinders are taken from KAMAZ or MAZ. Hydrodistributor MPS 70.4 with 3-4 sections or RGS 253 will be needed for control.

We assemble on the chassis the structure that the excavator needs. Through a rubber coupling or connecting shaft, connect the PTO of the walk-behind tractor and the oil pump, connect the hydraulic equipment with hoses high pressure from rubber to each other. A homemade excavator is painted and started for fitting and adjustment.

1.6 Outboard motor

The outboard motor from the walk-behind tractor is considered the most powerful. The PVC boat is not aggregated with motoblock engines. It is enough to attach a walk-behind tractor to the boat hull, and replace the cutters with aluminum blades. They should be located with the shaft in the same plane (perpendicular to the movement of the craft).

Comb wheel device top move through the air, the lower half is lowered into the water. This will allow you to develop high speed in places where the depth exceeds a meter. A homemade boat engine from a walk-behind tractor copes with a fast current.

1.7 Wood splitter

The walk-behind tractor and its power plant also serve to design a home-made wine splitter. The construction of the device begins with turning on lathe cone and cutting on it the left thrust thread. The cone is made independently thanks to the grinder. The finished fixture is mounted on a shaft with bearings of the appropriate size. At its end, a flange with an asterisk is installed, which is taken from the wheel of such equipment, for example, as a motorcycle.

The fixation of the threaded cone on the shaft is achieved by a bolt or pin. Between the motor and the shaft, it is important to install a spacer of two nuts and pipes. The spacer will help tighten the chain. To support the shaft, Zhiguli cardan supports are used. Replace the electric motor with a gasoline motor of a walk-behind tractor, the power of which is at least 6 hp. A wood splitter from a walk-behind tractor will successfully carry out the function of splitting wood.

1.8 Wood splitter driven by walk-behind tractor (video)

The benefits of a walk-behind tractor for gardeners and summer residents are invaluable. But still, it cannot be compared with the mechanization of work with a full-fledged tractor. Anyone who had experience with a walk-behind tractor probably thought about how to improve their single-axle drive.

Some craftsmen even dare to remake it into a miniature four-wheeled tractor. Currently, homemade products from a walk-behind tractor can be found everywhere. Despite the fact that manufacturers produce a lot of attachments for them, our craftsmen remake them at their discretion.

Motoblock - affordable mechanization for field work

You can solve the problem of processing the garden by using a walk-behind tractor and using attachments to it. With the help of such devices, it is possible to high level provide plowing and cultivation of the soil, preparing it for planting the main crops, as well as harvesting. This saves time and labor costs, since manual digging and weeding, even on six acres of a garden, is not an easy job.

When working in conditions of limited space and an abundance of various cultural plantings on the site, it is desirable for the operator to have good skills in controlling a two-wheeled unit. Do-it-yourself home-made hitches for a walk-behind tractor are made taking into account the experience of their use for specific business conditions. Although such designs have an unpresentable appearance, they ensure the fulfillment of basic tasks.

Design features of the walk-behind tractor

Such a unit consists of a drive, transmission, chassis and wheels. The walk-behind tractor is controlled using levers and rods mounted on the steering wheel. For light and medium units, the drive is usually a gasoline internal combustion engine. More equipped with diesel drives.

Lubrication, ignition, gas distribution, cooling, fuel supply systems and a starting mechanism are mandatory. They have their own characteristics depending on the type of engine used as a walk-behind tractor drive.

The gearbox, clutch and gearbox (in some models also a differential) ensure the conversion of the torque of the engine shaft into the rotation of a pair of wheels. They can be pneumatic or heavy metal with additional lugs for work under load.

Homemade mini tractors from a walk-behind tractor have a seat and an additional pair of wheels. They can be controlled or driven. Depending on the design, the walk-behind tractor turns into a four-wheeled unit with a drive on the rear or front axle.

Homemade walk-behind tractor

Despite the fact that there is a sufficient choice (in terms of price and power) of small-scale mechanization tools on sale, original home-made products are sometimes found in everyday life. With your own hands, not everyone can assemble a walk-behind tractor from scratch. However, a person familiar with technology, having at his disposal necessary equipment and accessories, can make it himself. In some cases, such designs can even compete with factory designs.

The material for the manufacture of homemade products is usually the parts of used motorcycles and all kinds of scrap metal. The engine can even be used from the Druzhba chainsaw. There are craftsmen who prefer scooter drives. Such motors have good forced cooling and can be used for a long time under loads even at minimum speed.

Advantages of a mini tractor

The walk-behind tractor is adapted for field work, but not everyone can manage it. For example, an elderly person who does not have good health will have to expend a lot of effort when maneuvering. Another point is the constant load on the legs. In order for the walk-behind tractor to cultivate the soil, it must be driven “by the horns”.

Anyone who has ever worked with a walk-behind tractor in plowing, cultivating or other tillage understands how much power it takes to control it. Hold it during a jerk, direct it into a rut, turn it around, take it back ... At the same time, do not get confused in the control levers and do not go where you don’t need to - often this is hard work. Many owners of walk-behind tractors, having tried such mechanization, sell their units without adapting to managing them.

Quite another thing is the management of a minitractor. Why walk around the field behind the machine, consuming energy, if you can control it while sitting on horseback. The drive is the same, the speed is the same, but all this is sitting and without load. Homemade products from a walk-behind tractor provide a sufficient level of comfort. Control levers at hand, there is a brake.

An additional pair of wheels, separated by a sufficient (1-1.2 m) distance, provides reliable support. Another advantage is the ability to transport goods in a trailer truck or a body mounted on the rear driven axle.

Mini tractors. Homemade from motoblock

The manufacture of a mini tractor "by eye" or even according to ready-made drawings, as a rule, implies the need for improvements after the first tests. Not everything can be fixed only with a grinder and welding.

Often there is a need for additional turning or milling work. Often, a design that looks perfect on paper turns out to be unusable after manufacturing.

For those who want to create but do not have design experience, there is an affordable option - to purchase a ready-made conversion kit. It is not cheap, but all its components are made in factory production. They have been tested and precisely matched to each other and the power plant.

Such a kit usually includes: a frame with engine mounts; secure seat; footrests with control manipulators; front beam with steering rods, and brake discs; protective fenders for wheels; attachment with manual lift.

The owner, having purchased such a kit, can independently disassemble his walk-behind tractor into components and, according to the scheme, mount all the parts on a new frame.

Attachment

Buying a walk-behind tractor without a hitch or with only one plow for plowing and turning over a layer of soil is in most cases impractical. A set of additional equipment allows you to significantly expand the capabilities of the unit.

In this case, it can be used for planting and harvesting root crops, for processing row spacings and hilling beds, for mowing hay, tedding and picking it up. A trailer trolley with a seating area allows you to carry loads.

AT winter period The walk-behind tractor can be equipped with a front scraper and use it to clear snow from the road. All equipment can be purchased, rather than using different homemade products. For the Neva walk-behind tractor, for example, the manufacturer produces enough attachments.

However, often the owners still remake it for themselves. For some, the factory hitch is not powerful enough and does not withstand loads, for others there are not enough adjustments to set it up for work in certain conditions, and still others are simply used to making tools themselves.

do it yourself

Complete equipment is not always suitable for business conditions. In order not to constantly cut off individual parts, not to weld stiffeners to strengthen the structure or additional brackets for fastenings, you can do everything yourself.

Even the plow and disk hiller are made by masters at home. To do this, one desire, drawing and material is not enough. Additional equipment will be required: a welding machine, a grinder and practical skills in working with them.

Do-it-yourself homemade products for a walk-behind tractor can be made using spare parts from old cars. The trailer can be made using from the "passenger car". If you throw out the gearbox and connect the axle shafts with a pipe, you get a reliable rear beam. Welding the frame and sheathing it with tin or board is not a problem. Springs can be taken from Moskvich - you get a reliable design with a decent load capacity.

A homemade scraper can be made from sheet metal 1-2 mm thick. If stiffeners are welded to a sheet curved along the profile, they can not only remove snow, but also be used as a bulldozer bucket for leveling soil or humus.

Original homemade

On the basis of a walk-behind tractor, you can make an all-terrain vehicle for fishing or hunting trips in difficult terrain or off-road conditions. To do this, the standard axles are replaced with elongated ones and thus increase the wheelbase of the unit.

Very often, all-terrain vehicles based on a walk-behind tractor are equipped with large-diameter cameras from trucks or tractors. They are used without tires, but are mounted to the hubs using belts. Tire pressure is chosen low to increase flotation.

By the same principle, craftsmen make home-made snowmobiles from a walk-behind tractor, designed for movement in winter. Low pressure chambers allow you to ride even in deep loose snow. Simple design snowmobile involves the use of a single-axle walk-behind tractor with an increased distance between the wheels and a wide rear ski with a driver's seat.

Each owner of suburban real estate is faced with the problem of processing the land. Since most of the adjacent territory is allocated for a garden.

Processing by hand with ordinary country tools is very problematic. It takes enough to cultivate and level the soil a large number of time, and also the process takes a lot of effort.

The best solution to the problem would be to buy a walk-behind tractor, with its help you can cultivate the land in the shortest possible time, without the need to use physical force.

But, not everyone can afford to purchase this unit, since its cost is high. However, you can make a walk-behind tractor with your own hands. In terms of quality, it is in no way inferior to analogues that are sold in stores. And you can make it from improvised materials, which are usually a lot in summer cottages. The first such inventor was Valentin Arkhipov.

From scrap metal and a motor from a chainsaw, Druzhba was able to construct a walk-behind tractor that not only plowed the ground, but also spudded plantings. Next, consider how to make a walk-behind tractor according to the Arkhipov principle.

Design features

In the photo of the walk-behind tractor, it can be seen that the design has two wheels, an engine, a frame and chains. To create a walk-behind tractor does not require a lot of materials. As a rule, all of them are in sheds. Valentin Arkhipov took the engine from the VP-150M scooter, as it had a cooling system for the cylinder head using air.

The frame by the inventor was made of pipes, which had a U-shape. And also on the lathe for turning, an axle was made, on which the wheels were subsequently attached. Arkhipov made four rods for them - one main and three regulating ones, which connect the walk-behind tractor with the steering system and the plow.

On the device, the chain pitch is 12.7 mm and 15.9 mm. Number of teeth per sprocket:

  • secondary axis - 20, 60;
  • output axis - 11;
  • running axle - 40.

There are many similar devices that are created on the basis of the drawings of the Arkhipov walk-behind tractor. Since its unit has a number of undeniable advantages.

Tractors and tools that work the land are connected with hinges. This gives the walk-behind tractor more maneuverability. It can change the direction of travel without having to remove the plow from the furrow.

When cultivating the land with a walk-behind tractor, many are faced with the problem of skidding the unit to the side. Arkhipov decided this problem. He shifted the plow axis slightly to the left in relation to the direction of travel.

The inventor managed to make an automatic level of plowing depth. Which is very practical, since you do not need to lower or raise the plow yourself each time. Consequently, the cultivation of the land is much faster.

Instructions for creating an aggregate

First of all, you need to make a running shaft. To equip it, you need to connect it with bearings. After that, the star is welded, and overrunning clutches are installed.

They perform a differential function during the operation of the apparatus. At the end, the body is complemented by a motor mount and wheels. On the motor mount, you can fix the steering system, traction and hiller for a walk-behind tractor.

To connect the frame and the engine, two arc-shaped pipes are needed. Between which, when connecting, it is necessary to leave space for placing a container for fuel.

To connect the resulting structure, a special bracket is used, which is welded to the main part of the unit. Upon completion of all work, you can install the trailer on the walk-behind tractor.

Modernization of the walk-behind tractor

The adapter for the walk-behind tractor can be supplemented with various additional equipment. Which will not only plow the land, but also cultivate. Therefore, the Arkhipov walk-behind tractor is recognized as the most functional and practical.

Note!

Many use a walk-behind tractor not only for agricultural needs. They are very easy to clean adjoining territory from snow. To do this, it is only necessary to install an additional roller on the unit, and one more sprocket.

Like any equipment, the unit can fail, breakage occurs. However, the repair of walk-behind tractors is extremely simple. And there shouldn't be much difficulty in fixing it. So for repair you do not need special tools or additional equipment.

Note!

First thoughts to do homemade devices for a walk-behind tractor, appears after the need to transport goods, so my epic began with useful gadgets for a walk-behind tractor and was the first to make a home-made trailer trolley.

We make homemade products for a walk-behind tractor with our own hands

For quick and high-quality soil cultivation, you need to make home-made houndstooth cutters for a walk-behind tractor, which will mix the soil to a sufficient depth and break up hard clods.

A homemade rake for a walk-behind tractor is also a useful attachment. It is best to have several of these different types of rake.

A homemade hiller for a walk-behind tractor will also be needed by every gardener. Okuchnik will allow you to form even and high ridges on all beds with root crops.
A home-made blade for a walk-behind tractor will facilitate the removal of snow and sand from the land, create good conditions for further tillage.

Homemade rake for walk-behind tractor

If you wish, you can easily make homemade rakes for a walk-behind tractor. For hay rakes with a wide hay rake, you can use conventional water pipes that differ in their diameters. You will need to put a special sleeve on the round rod, and then tap its surface, turning it slightly.

When making, a round rod is best suited. Most parts of the rake are held together by electric welding, since this way is simple, and at the same time a reliable design is obtained.

Greater simplicity of design can be achieved if the rotary parts on the axles are fixed without rolling bearings.

It is better to make a hay rake to a walk-behind tractor folding, as this will simplify their transportation.

How to make a homemade blade for a walk-behind tractor

The walk-behind tractor can serve as a bulldozer for leveling the ground, cleaning sidewalks or roads from dirt and snow. To do this, you need to make a homemade blade for a walk-behind tractor, usually used sheet metal 1-2 mm thick. Inside the blade, four steel ribs (stiffness) are welded from a sheet 3-4 mm thick.

In them, holes are drilled in place for fastening the blade with the rods in a strictly vertical position with respect to the front of the walk-behind tractor. It is also better to sheathe the bottom of the blade with tin so that it does not burrow into the ground.

  • 1 - blade sheet (tin);
  • 2 - rack 4pcs (stiffening ribs);
  • 3 - bottom sheet of the blade (tin);
  • 4 - knife; 5 - eye for fastening the thrust.

Convenient home-made seeder to the walk-behind tractor

Conventionally, seeders for walk-behind tractors are subdivided according to the number of simultaneously sown rows - from 1 to 5, vegetable seeders and precision seeders are also distinguished.
Vegetable seeders are used for dotted sowing of vegetables: carrots, onions, beets. The device for feeding seeds is driven from the support-drive wheels of the sections. In addition, the rotational speed of the device is regulated by interchangeable sprockets.

Planters vegetable exact seeding have a brush sowing device. In such a device, a rotating brush stirs up a layer of seeds in the hopper so that they spill out into a hole located in it. back wall. The hole is closed with a rotary disk having holes of different diameters. By turning the disc, you can change the size of the holes and thus change the seeding rate.

A home-made seeder to a walk-behind tractor is usually connected to a walk-behind tractor using a universal hitch, thanks to which it is possible to complete a walk-behind tractor with two-row and four-row seeders.

Homemade shovel for walk-behind tractor

The walk-behind tractor often acts as a bulldozer, leveling the ground, as well as clearing sidewalks or roads from snow dirt. For it is equipped with a shovel blade.

A home-made shovel for a walk-behind tractor is made without any difficulties if you have a “grinder”, a drill and a welding machine on your farm.

You won’t have to look for a suitable metal for a long time, since an ordinary two hundred liter steel barrel is suitable for making a blade-shovel. Carefully cutting it into three parts, you will get three curved segments for a shovel. Having welded two of them along the contour, you will get a shovel-dump with a metal thickness of 3 mm, which is quite enough for the required rigidity of the shovel-dump.

We make a homemade disk hiller for a walk-behind tractor

We begin to make a home-made disk hiller for a walk-behind tractor by searching for covers from steel pans that are unnecessary in the household (preferably not enameled, but simply metal). The required diameter is approximately 40-50 cm, taking into account the fact that the depth of germination of potato roots into the ground is not more than 15-20 cm. Next, we sharpen the blades of the covers, and in our case they are already hiller disks, on grinding machine. If the covers are flat, then they are slightly bent to one side with a hammer.

Further, in order to make a convenient hiller, you need to make a trolley, to which disks that shift the soil will be attached. This can be a construction of pipes and bushings, we attach small support wheels to its lower frame.

After that, you can proceed to testing such a hiller right on the potato plot of the garden.

How to make a homemade plow for a walk-behind tractor

Is it necessary to make a plow for a walk-behind tractor if there are no special metalworking skills? Yes, it's worth it. The design of this agricultural implement is quite simple and therefore it is right for everyone to make a home-made plow for a walk-behind tractor.

Before proceeding with the implementation of your plan, you need to look at the previous posts on our site, where we described the manufacturing process in detail with drawings.

Best for work professional tools, they will allow you to perform all technological operations with your own hands at the required level and at the same time retain their quality. An amateur tool is unsuitable for such work because its strength level is insufficient to perform some of the operations.

Homemade cutter crow's feet, for walk-behind tractor

This is an all-welded non-separable steel cutter, which gives it much greater strength than conventional cultivator cutters. A homemade crow's foot cutter for a walk-behind tractor shows great efficiency and is successfully used when plowing hard soil. It can be aggregated with almost any walk-behind tractor or motor-cultivator with a suitable axle diameter.

It is very good to use the “crow's feet” cutter when plowing the land for planting potatoes, especially if the soil is hard with large clods of earth, or when, for the prevention of the Colorado potato beetle, wireworm and other garden pests, you need to quickly plow the garden “in winter”.
