Currently, there are many models from European and Asian countries on the market of mini tractors for farms and private households. “Germans”, “Japanese” and cheaper “Chinese” are found literally at every step. The question involuntarily arises - where is our, domestic technology? And there are, and the choice is quite significant. In addition, it is the Russian mini tractors that deserve the closest attention of the buyer.

The fact that they are not yet the leaders in sales is partly due to the fact that during the "post-stagnation" period, during all the shocks, we mostly lost the market. It takes time to conquer it again. Therefore, the relatively small assortment (compared to imports) of mini-tractors made in Russia does not mean at all that they are so bad that they are not in demand and should not be bought.

There is no point in starting a review without touching on this issue.

Firstly, domestic cars are more versatile. Most of our subsidiary farms are rather modest in size, so design engineers are guided by the fact that a mini-tractor needs to be "able" in a small area, with a minimum number of maneuvers, to perform a variety of work - plowing, harrowing, planting (and many other cultures), clean up and much more.

That is, Russian tractors are adapted to the realities of our life. Not all foreign analogues can demonstrate such versatility, and those that seem to be "nothing" cost so much that the desire to buy them from a small farmer immediately disappears.

Secondly, domestic mini-tractors are "tied" to our peculiarities - climate, fuel quality (a very important factor) and a number of others. But "foreigners" often do not stand it and begin to be capricious or break down.

Thirdly, there are no difficulties with the repair. Whether to get expert advice, purchase spare parts, send back under warranty - the domestic manufacturer is always “within reach”.

Fourth, which has already been partially noted, an acceptable price.

Overview of models and manufacturers

* The indicated prices are indicative.

"Uralets" (Chelyabinsk, a merger of the firms OOO Traktor and Interagro)

This wheeled model (diesel) is produced in 3 versions - series 160, 180 and 220. Their production has been organized since 2011. For a small subsidiary farm, a "weaker" tractor "160" (16 hp) is suitable, since this power is quite enough to process a small plot of land and plow to the required depth.

The number of gears is 6 (4 + 2), there is a power take-off shaft (PTO). The weight of the product without additional / complete set is 0.9 t. The manufacturer offers a wide range of various attachments and equipment that can be used as attachments - wheel weights, a trailer and a number of others. On request - double wheels with a special profile (low).

Model "180" differs only in power (18 hp), slightly higher tractive effort (3.7 kN versus 3.5) and weight - 40 kg heavier.

Similarly, the series "220" - 22 hp; 3.9 kN; 960 kg. A technical novelty is the presence of a differential lock, therefore this product is considered more perfect and convenient in use.

"Ussuriets" (JSC "UAZ")

Wheeled mini-tractors under this brand are produced in a large assortment (18 options). Moreover, the differences in the series are not only in terms of configuration, but also in the features of the execution of structural elements (suspension, engine, and so on). It is impossible to attribute them all to the “mini” class, although the manufacturer positions all of its products that way.

From the point of view of rationality of use in a small farm, first of all, you should pay attention to the model "TS 18DB" (24 "horses"). Drive 2WD, PTO, wheels 4.5 (front) and 14 (rear) / 9.5-20, no cab - these are the main features of this machine.

Models "TY 220A", "TY 220AА-2" differ in that they have a power of 30 hp. and the cockpit. Perhaps that's all.

All other mini tractors from this manufacturer are equipped with a 4WD drive and a two-speed PTO, as well as increased power. Depending on the series, it ranges from 30 to 85 hp. "Ussuriets" is attractive not only for a large selection of design options, but also for a variety of additional equipment, which makes it suitable for almost any job.

"T 0.2" (LLC "Uraltrak", Chelyabinsk)

The original wheeled-tracked model. Interesting not only the chassis, but also the choice of engine type. It can be gasoline (16 "horses", liquid-cooled) or diesel. In the latter case, with air cooling - 12, water - 14.2 (hp).

Features:

PTO, three-point linkage, drive (hydraulics), 6 gears (5 + 1). In addition, there is a rotary brush and a dozer blade. But the main thing is the ability to "change" the vehicle, that is, to use it on a wheeled or tracked vehicle, depending on local conditions.

What's more interesting: the well-equipped cab, heated seat and powerful headlights allow you to work in any weather, regardless of the time of day.

KMZ 012 (Kurgan)

This wheeled mini-model, according to some users, is somewhat outdated, but users are so fond of it that the demand for it does not fall. One of the reasons is that the structural elements have been constantly improved.

For example, you can buy a "carburetor" car (14 hp) or diesel (15). In both cases, the products are now equipped with engines made in USA.

The changes also affected a number of other components: hitch and PTO - 2 pcs. + 23 different add-ons / devices. The track became adjustable, the ground clearance increased, the resource increased.

Used price - from 125,000 rubles.

Helpful advice

When choosing a certain model of a mini-tractor, you should pay attention to who and how provides technical support for the products. Then there will be no problems with either warranty repair or the supply of spare parts.

You should be aware that not all of the listed models are available today. So, unfortunately, the production of "KMZ" (since 2013) and "T 0.2" (since 2012) has been officially discontinued, although they are on sale. Even if you manage to find a not new, but quite decent used model, then what about spare parts? The question is far from idle.

In the domestic agricultural sector, there are a significant number of small farms that require small-sized equipment. This includes all kinds of mini tractor models. Inexpensive wheeled vehicles quickly justify the amount spent on them, while they are highly productive and unpretentious in maintenance.

Buyers may have a problem, which mini tractor to choose. More experienced professionals recommend focusing on versatility. The minitractor is used in operation all year round, so it is worth thinking about making it not only the most reliable, but also having the opportunity to use new attachments.

The disadvantage is the frequent change of the model range, which reduces the unification of spare parts. Also a weak point is the hydraulics used in the design, in particular onboard sludge and hydraulic pumps. There is a lack of a high-speed mode. Users note good handling and high build quality.

VIDEO: Review of the CENTAVR T-224

With the development of farming and personal subsidiary plots, farmers began to be interested in small-sized maneuverable equipment, the control of which is quite accessible to a non-professional. The list of works that a mini tractor is capable of performing is very wide. In the cold season, it can be used to shovel snow, in the summer - to get rid of the grass and mow the lawn. And also water, fertilize and plow the land.

Council. If you are planning to purchase a mini tractor, then first decide: what area you are going to process, what additional work to produce. The engine power of the unit and the type of attachment depend on this. Learn that the equipment of one mini tractor may be suitable for another model.

A small but powerful assistant, in comparison with an ordinary large tractor, it is distinguished by its mobility, lower fuel consumption, and it costs several times cheaper. However, as with any technique, this major step should be carefully considered and the model most appropriate.

Today, mini tractors of Russian and Chinese production are popular, although there are also people from Ukraine, Belarus, and Japan on the market.

In order to choose a reliable assistant for all the necessary work, you need to consider how the models of the main manufacturers differ.

Chinese mini tractors on the Russian market

Imported equipment in our country is respected and actively bought. We have about 20 Chinese tractor plants, so the choice of models and attachments is wide enough.

The main reason for buying a "Chinese" is confidence in the reliability and quality of foreign technology. However, this is a misconception. In general, all Chinese equipment can be divided into 3 categories:

1. Expensive mini tractors of impeccable quality. They are produced only by trusted manufacturers, for example, Jinma, Foton, Dong Feng, YTO.
2. Units are cheaper with a diesel engine worse. These are some of the Jinma and Dong Feng brand models. Before choosing these brands, you should know that they are not provided with spare parts.
3. Buyers are also attracted by the cheapest models, on which manufacturers have saved the most. Dealers purchase such units from small assembly workshops that use the cheapest components in their work. These models are brought to us in disassembled form, and already on the spot they are assembled by a mechanic before sale. Often the kit lacks bolts, nuts, and the connections are poorly fitted. However, this technique is also started up and sold successfully. Problems begin only during excavation work.

Council. When buying a cheap low-quality minitractor, you need to be able to recheck, adjust, modify, complete the main parts and components of the unit.

Features of mini tractors from China

Modern Chinese units from reliable manufacturers are easy to start even at low temperatures thanks to the start-up system. Farmers point to a significant drawback of the system - the starting generator and recommend immediately replacing it with a domestic analogue, or not overloading the tractor.

Attention! The standard power of the "Chinese" is from 12 to 18 hp. or, in more serious models from 22 to 30 hp.

The peculiarity of the operation of imported equipment is a 1-2 year warranty. But when changing the oil, which is performed every 3 months, you need to invite a representative of the dealer's company for this procedure. Replacement by yourself will void the warranty.

What to look for when choosing a Chinese unit

If you are considering buying auxiliary equipment from Chinese manufacturers, then pay attention to the advice of experienced farmers:

• the original model must have a technical passport translated into Russian;
• a sign of dealer reliability - at least 5 years of work in the Russian market;
• find out if spare parts for the selected model are available;
• check the operation of sensors, electronics, hydraulics, lubricants and fluids.

Domestic manufacturers are an echo of the great past

Unfortunately, such powerful factories as Kurganmashzavod went bankrupt and closed. Now their functions are performed by small enterprises, in some cases - the heirs of huge industries. Each of the existing manufacturers is fully responsible for the released products, which is reflected in the variety of models, accessories and equipment.

Attention! Russian-made mini tractors will cope with the breakdown of the park, harrowing, spring plowing and cutting of beds.

Differences between domestic auxiliary equipment and Chinese mini tractors:

1. Not all Chinese units are of high quality; you need to be able to understand models and brands. In the domestic market, all presented copies are considered durable and reliable, which is confirmed by user reviews. This is explained by the fact that minitractors are created at defense enterprises or in small industries based on well-known giants.
2. Russian equipment is as close as possible to our realities, to difficult operating conditions. Such as being in the open air, in the absence of a garage, to rain, snow and hail.
3. An important difference is the scope. If Chinese units are mainly intended for gardening, then domestic ones are multifunctional agricultural machinery. It is used both in fields and in gardens.

Russian mini tractors and "Russian Chinese"
