In this collection there are a few ideas that can be useful for DIYers to develop their own projects that facilitate agricultural work. Video at the end of the article.

The witty lawnmower came up with a unique adaptation in his own way: he simply took three existing lawn mowers, slightly modified them to attach to the mini tractor. Now he does not have to walk for hours in the field to work a large area. The homemade product looks funny, but it is quite workable thing that speeds up the work of mowing the lawn exactly three times.

The cultivator automatically bypasses trees

A very convenient mechanism. It has not only a working part, but also a sensitive element. A tractor with a cultivator passes through the field,
as soon as the sensing element, which protrudes slightly forward, touches the tree, the semiautomatic device immediately reacts and takes the cultivator aside to bypass the tree. After that, he immediately returns to working position and continues tillage. Great idea!

Machine for covering beds with foil

It will take several days to cover all the beds in this field with foil if the workers do all the work by hand.
The small cultivator applies the perforated film in one pass over each bed. At the same time, it forms the edges of the bed.

How onions are harvested in Korea. It is folded in a narrow strip.

The unit collects onions from several beds at once and drops them into one narrow strip. This means of small mechanization is a measure to get by with small, inexpensive harvesting mechanisms and not buy an expensive harvester. See also what is done in Korea with onions after harvesting. Female workers don't have to do too much work. Instead, a robot works on the conveyor. Although, one cannot do without a human mind and skill.

In any private household or private farm you can find various types of equipment that are used to facilitate labor and increase its productivity. Mini equipment for a personal backyard is used for cultivating the land, caring for livestock and poultry. With its help, crops and fertilizers are transported.

Not every farmer has enough financial resources to buy powerful machinery. In a personal backyard, you have to do with small forces. Correctly selected mini equipment is capable of performing a wide range of agricultural work. She may be:

• portable;
• pedestrian;
• riding;
• stationary.

Portable equipment includes a power tool that is held by hands, suspended from the shoulders or mounted on track rollers. The power of such devices does not exceed 3 kW. This equates to approximately 4 hp.

Pedestrian equipment - walk-behind tractors, motor-cultivators, motor-mowers, motor-cultivators, etc. It is driven by hand pull. The power of this type of equipment can reach 10 kW or about 13 hp.

The power of the driving equipment reaches 18 kW or 22 hp. This group includes mini tractors of traction class 0.2 and motoblocks with a trailer trolley.

Stationary equipment - sprayers, pumping stations, etc. Device power up to 10 kW. This equates to 13 hp.

Minitractor

The basis of the line of mini-tractors on the Russian market is represented by equipment of Belarusian, Chinese, and South Korean manufacturers. A small part of it is made up of European, American and Japanese brands. The latter types of equipment have not gained wide popularity among Russian farmers due to the complexity and high cost of maintenance.

Domestic manufacturers are represented on the mini-tractor market by equipment, which is a large-scale assembly of well-known brands. Most Russian farmers buy mini-tractors made in China. Their build quality has improved significantly in recent years. For them, a good technical base has been created in the country, on which repairs and maintenance are carried out.

Rules for choosing a mini tractor

When choosing any type of equipment, each buyer is guided by his financial capabilities. They define the limit of opportunity within which they select a suitable mini tractor. There are a number of criteria to help you make the right choice. It is important to choose the best option for yourself and not to overpay extra money for it.

Before buying a mini tractor, a list of works is determined on which it is planned to be used. This helps to determine the required power of the technique. Budget mini-tractors with a power of 16-20 hp can handle the processing of small plots of land. Other parameters to consider when buying:

• type and fuel consumption;
• type of drive;
• shaft speed.

Only four-wheel drive allows the mini-tractor to move freely through the fields. The heavier the technique, the more stable it is. A prerequisite for the purchase is a test drive. The technique must be easy to operate. All modern mini-tractor models have steering control. People who know how to drive cars easily master this technique.

Each mini tractor has special attachments for attachments. It is better to buy it complete with basic equipment. This will allow to avoid further problems of joining different nodes. You need to buy a mini-tractor from trusted manufacturers.

Which mini tractor is better to buy: characteristics, capabilities

When purchasing a mini tractor, it will never be superfluous to consult a specialist or reviews from other buyers.

Motor-cultivators and walk-behind tractors

Motor-cultivators and walk-behind tractors have a lot in common. Their main difference is power. In motoblocks, it is much higher. The equipment can run on electricity and liquid fuel. Its main purpose is land cultivation. The favorites of sales in Russia are the models of German manufacturers. They are followed by Japanese and American brands in this segment of agricultural machinery.

Unlike mini tractors, walk-behind tractors and motor-cultivators are relatively lightweight. When choosing vehicles of this class, pay attention to the type of their engine. For the processing of land plots remote from an electric power source, a technique that runs on gasoline or diesel fuel is suitable. You can cultivate the land near the house on a motor-cultivator and walk-behind tractors powered by electricity.

When buying motoblocks, you need to pay attention to their power and weight. The manufactured equipment is divided into 3 classes, each of which is designed for certain working conditions:

Do-it-yourself agricultural machinery

In any farm there is always a handy material suitable for the manufacture of agricultural machinery. Engineering knowledge and design skills will always find application in subsidiary farming. For example, they will help turn the walk-behind tractor into a mini tractor.

Step-by-step instructions for converting a walk-behind tractor into a mini tractor

The big drawback of walk-behind tractors is hand traction. It is offset by prices that are lower than the cost of mini tractors. Skillful hands in a short time are able to turn a walk-behind tractor into a mini tractor with minimal costs. The process of reworking a walk-behind tractor begins with the preparation of calculations and construction drawings. In the absence of experience in design activities, it is better to use other people's developments.

Step 1. The frame and body for the mini tractor are welded from metal sheets, profiled pipes and a corner. Their mass must be calculated taking into account the power of the engine. If the design uses a walk-behind tractor with a powerful unit, then car trailers can be used in its device. Two-wheeled carts are best suited for adapting a walk-behind tractor to a mini-tractor.

During the manufacture of the frame, it is necessary to provide for the device of fasteners for the suspended equipment. Along the frame contour, special holes are made for the future installation of cabin and body elements.

Step 2. Component parts are selected for the prepared frame of the future minitractor. For these purposes, motorists can find many useful things in the garage. From a VAZ car you can take pedal control units and a drum brake for driving wheels. For a penny, the necessary parts can be found at car disassembly.

Step 3. Installation of bridges
The nodes are assembled from various elements. You can take them from old cars or agricultural equipment. Bridges are independently made from:

The rear axle can be used from the old UAZ. It will have to be shortened slightly. For the shortened version of the rear axle, short axle shafts are suitable.

Step 4. Installing wheels

When choosing wheels for a mini tractor, you need to take into account the fact that they have a direct impact on the controllability of the equipment. Too large wheels when cornering make the driver apply great effort to control the technique. Small wheels bury the tractor in the ground. The optimum wheel size for the front axle is 12-14 inches.

Mini tractor tires must be fitted with grousers. They significantly increase the vehicle's maneuverability.

Step 5. Installing the control system and driver's seat

Control systems begin to do after the installation of the chassis. The steering wheel follows the installation of the driver's seat in the installation sequence. It adjusts the steering wheel height. It should not constrain the driver when driving equipment.

Step 6. Installing the engine and body

Installing the engine and debugging its work are the final stages of assembling a minitractor. The installation of the engine is started after the chassis is assembled. The unit is installed on a special plate. It must have slots for fastening. After installing the engine, the electrical circuit is installed and the steering system and the dashboard are connected.

At the final stage of reworking the walk-behind tractor into a mini-tractor, the cab sheathing is done.

What can be used to make an irrigation system for the garden

Watering plants in the garden can be attributed to time-consuming work. You have to spend a lot of time and physical effort on it. You can make it easier for yourself to take care of your garden by making an irrigation system from scrap materials. The design of the system depends on the water source. This could be:

Water intake from a well, natural reservoirs and reservoirs is carried out using a pump. The optimal pump for the garden is "Kid". Him:

Hoses with holes are laid in the garden for drip irrigation of plants. Water from them must fall under the root of the plant. When taking water for irrigation from the water supply, the hoses are connected to the tap. If a pump is used, the hoses are connected to its outlet nozzle.

Among the advantages of drip irrigation:

• saving water consumption;
• mechanization of manual labor.

You can read more about making equipment for watering a vegetable garden in.

Why an old washing machine can be useful in a subsidiary farm

You never need to rush to scrap your old washing machine. It can be used to make various accessories for subsidiary farming. For example, adapt it for washing vegetables. For this, the machine is installed above the drainage system. It acts as a local sewerage system. Vegetables are loaded into the linen hatch. Water is supplied to the machine using a portable hose. Waste water flows out of the washing machine by gravity into the drainage system. This vegetable washing system works like a colander.

From an old washing machine, you can make an original flower bed, barbecue or smokehouse. The drum and electric motor are used to make a grass chopper, grain grinder and other accessories.

Circular from the grinder

The easiest way to turn a grinder into a saw is to replace the standard blade with one designed for wood. Such a device has a limited range of action. It can cut slats or thin bars. A protective casing is put on the grinder. The handle is made a continuation of the body.

A miter saw is required to cross-cut lumber. You can make it from a grinder by fixing the tool on the slewing bar. A circular saw is used to cut a large amount of lumber. With its help, you can cut a board or bar of any size. Making a circular saw requires some knowledge. The saw blade on a circular saw is fixed to a table mounted on a frame. A 50 * 50 corner is used for its manufacture.

The sawing table is made of plywood or board. The control button and switch are located on the side. You can figure out how to make a circular from a grinder using the video.

Video - How to make a circular from a grinder

Homemade products for the garden

The fantasy of summer residents knows no boundaries. From the materials at hand, they make a variety of devices that facilitate their work in the field, vegetable garden or garden.

Long-term storage of root crops requires compliance with certain storage conditions. After digging, the potatoes are sorted, cleaned of dirt and dried from excess moisture. It is better to store tubers in boxes. In such a container, natural ventilation of potatoes occurs, which significantly reduces the percentage of rotting.

For the manufacture of the box, 15 * 20 slats, a bar of 40 * 40 or 50 * 50, plywood with a thickness of 8-10 mm are used.

Press for crushing grapes

You can make a press yourself from a barrel, a filter mesh and a screw mechanism. You can replace the barrel with a mesh cylinder, with a screw mechanism with a conventional jack. When using a barrel, its sides are expanded due to the slots that are made between the side rails. The slit width is 2-3 mm. The barrel is installed on a frame made of a metal profile welded specially for it. The grapes are placed in a barrel, which is closed with a lid with a diameter corresponding to the internal size of the container.

Pressure is exerted on the cover by means of a screw mechanism or jack. Under its influence, the grapes give juice, which flows out of the barrel through the cracks. To collect it, a collection tray is installed under the bottom of the barrel.

The mini tractor is an indispensable agricultural technique for cultivating the land, planting seeds and harvesting. This technique is especially in demand in the village, among the owners of large household plots. The cost of factory-made mini tractors is quite high. Even new Chinese-made technology is sometimes not affordable for everyone. Therefore, more and more home craftsmen are trying to make a mini tractor on their own, using materials at hand.

If you decide to assemble a mini-tractor with your own hands, then first of all you need to choose a power unit for it. The latter is often used zID engine... This is a four-stroke unit with a volume of 0.52 liters. and a capacity of 4.5 l / s, which is quite suitable for processing 2-3 hectares of land. The engine is easy to maintain, so it is often installed on various home-made equipment, moreover, it is easy to buy it on the Internet.

Another option for homemade products is ... This is a two-cylinder unit with a capacity of about 12 l / s and a volume of 0.42 liters. Although this type of motors has long been discontinued, there are a large number of offers on the Internet for the sale of this unit. You can buy it for about 5,000 - 8,000 rubles.

Often, when making homemade tractors, craftsmen use motors from cars. For example, you can find mini tractors with an engine from the Oka.

This engine has a power of 29.3 l / s and a volume of 0.649 liters. In fact, this is a VAZ engine (VAZ 21083), only in a lightweight version, since it has 2 times less weight. A distinctive feature of the Oka engine is low gas mileage and high efficiency.

A more expensive option is engine from "Zhiguli"... The motors of the VAZ car line have an engine power of 59 l / s (VAZ 2101) and above. A tractor with a VAZ engine is a fairly powerful unit that is able to cope with almost any agricultural work.

It is easiest for owners of walk-behind tractors to make a mini-tractor for a household, since this unit already has all the necessary control units. All that remains is to make a suitable frame and the tractor is ready.

What to make a frame from

The assembly of a mini tractor always begins with the manufacture of the frame. The frame of the minitractor acts as a base on which all the units and parts of this unit are fixed. The frame must be strong enough and at the same time not very heavy. It is usually made from metal corner, profile pipe or channel... Parts are connected by welding. The frame can be in one piece or in two parts.

One-piece frame the easiest to make. It is enough to weld a rectangle from a channel or corner. Frame dimensions are calculated based on the dimensions of the engine, gearbox and other components.

Also, among the owners of personal plots, the 4x4 mini tractor is very popular. These are all-wheel drive minitractors with breaking frame... The word "all-wheel drive" means that the unit is driven by both axles, front and rear. An example of such a frame made from channel No. 10 is shown in the following photo.

Frame fracture node most often made from the cardan shaft of a car, for example, from the GAZ-52.

The main advantage of a homemade tractor with a breaking frame is the small turning radius of the unit. Due to its high maneuverability, the breakage mini-tractor is successfully used in small areas where the turning of a mini-tractor with a solid frame will be difficult.

Shown below are drawings of a hinged frame.

What to make a chassis

To assemble a mini tractor, you need to prepare its chassis. It includes wheels, front and rear axles, transmission elements.

When choosing wheels for a mini tractor the purpose of using the latter should be taken into account. If the unit is being built for the transport and hauling of goods, then a disc diameter of 16 inches will be sufficient. When using the tractor in the field, it is better to use more massive wheels with discs with a diameter of 18 to 24 inches.

If the drive axle in your tractor is only the rear one, then the front beam is manufactured simple enough.

To make a homemade front axle, as well as its rear counterpart for all-wheel drive unit, you will need to take 2 identical chassis assemblies, for example, from a VAZ or Moskvich car, and shorten them. How to shorten the bridge from the VAZ car, you can learn from this video.

Important! Axles must have the same gearboxes, with the same gear ratio. Otherwise, the front and rear wheels will rotate at different speeds when the tractor is moving.

Since the bridges already have a built-in mechanism for transmitting rotational motion to the wheel axle, it is not required to make a homemade gearbox.

Advantages of installing hydraulics

The hydraulics are installed on the mini tractor in order to ensure the operation of some of its mechanisms and to facilitate the control of this unit. The unit with installed hydraulics has its advantages.

1. The machine becomes easy to operate. The steering wheel can be turned, with almost no effort, with one hand.
2. Hydraulics makes it possible to use various attachments.
3. The use of hydraulics allows you to upgrade the braking system. Thanks to the hydraulic cylinders installed on the unit, the unit is braked instantly.

You can make hydraulics on a minitractor if you purchase a ready-made system in a store in advance or use parts from old agricultural equipment.

Important! When installing hydraulics on a mini tractor, it should be borne in mind that some of the engine power will go to servicing this unit. Therefore, for tractors with low power engines, installing hydraulics will not bring any benefit.

What is PTO for?

The power take-off shaft (PTO) is designed to drive various agricultural mechanisms connected to a mini tractor, for example, various milling cutters for cultivating the land, potato diggers, mowers, snow plows, etc.

PTO can be like dependent as well as independent... In the first case, the shaft is driven by a transmission that transmits rotary motion to the wheels. As soon as the wheels stop, the PTO stops rotating. The independent PTO is driven by the engine crankshaft. Therefore, the higher the engine speed, the faster the shaft rotates.

In addition, there are tractors with Synchronous PTO... The speed of rotation of the synchronous shaft directly depends on the transmission ratio of the moving tractor. Synchronization of movement and rotation is required when operating the machine with seeding equipment.

Making a three-point hitch

The sample is used for connecting additional equipment to the tractorsuch as a plow.

The hitch must be movable both in the horizontal plane and in the vertical... In the first case, mobility helps to reduce the stick out when steering. Vertical suspension movement is required to lower the equipment to a working condition or raise it to the transport position.

A hitch for a mini tractor is made from various parts removed from old agricultural machinery. It is rather difficult to describe how to make a three-point hitch at home. Therefore, it would be more correct to use the following video, which indicates the dimensions of all parts of the device.

Selection and installation of brakes and clutch

The brakes must be installed on the rear wheelset. The easiest way is to take ready-made blocks from a UAZ car... The brake pads must be installed on the wheel discs, and the control is brought to the pedal or lever installed inside the cab.

To install the clutch on a homemade mini tractor, you can also use a ready-made option from any car. For example one can use belt clutch from Moskvich or UAZ.

The clutch block is attached to a gearbox also taken from a vehicle. How to install the clutch can be seen in this video.

Steering installation

It is quite difficult to make a steering mechanism on your own, and in principle it makes no sense, since all the parts can be taken from any car.

When installing the steering mechanism, the steering shaft with the gear is connected to the steering bipods, which are located on the steering knuckles mounted on the front beam (the manufacture of the beam was considered above).

How to make a cabin for a mini tractor

If in the summer it is possible to work on a minitractor without a cab, then with the onset of the autumn-winter period, the use of the unit becomes rather uncomfortable or even impossible. Therefore, craftsmen try to assemble tractors with cabins in order to use this technique all year round.

The cabin for homemade equipment is made sheet steel according to a previously prepared drawing. As a basis for calculations, you can take the cab from the MTZ tractor. The next photo shows a drawing based on which you can make a cabin yourself.

Advice! If the dimensions of the cab, available in the drawing, do not fit the dimensions of your mini tractor, then they must be changed. But the main thing to consider when adjusting the dimensions is the size of the windshield and the height of the cab. Its ceiling should be 25 cm higher than the head of the person sitting in the cockpit.

The cabin is manufactured as follows.

In general, in order to better understand how a mini tractor is made with your own hands, you can watch this video, a kind of beginner's guide.

The nuances of making a caterpillar tractor

Homemade tracked mini tractors are a technique whose main feature is high maneuverability and good maneuverability... Also, a tractor on tracks creates minimal pressure on the soil, which cannot be said about its wheeled counterpart.

To make a caterpillar mini-tractor, you will need the following structural elements.

1. Frame. It is made from a profile pipe or channel.
2. Engine. For a crawler mini tractor, it is better to use a diesel engine.
3. Main bridge. As with the manufacture of a wheeled tractor, a ready-made axle from an old car can also be used for a tracked unit, which should be shortened.
4. Transmission. The ideal option would be a box from a GAZ-53.
5. Clutch. A clutch block from a GAZ-52 will do.
6. Caterpillars. They are made of tires from wheels of large-sized equipment, for example, from a tractor.

For the manufacture of caterpillars you need to take 2 tires from the tractor and cut off the side parts on them. These tires are then put on the wheels mounted on the frame, as shown in the following photo.

So that the tractor can turn, a differential must be installed on the rear axle, which will disconnect the right or left wheel from the drive. Also, each wheel must be equipped with a separate brake. When you press the brake pedal and shift the differential, one wheel of the drive axle stops, and the opposite continues to rotate. As a result, the tractor turns in the desired direction.

In private households, self-made agricultural machinery is often used. Such structures are assembled according to the drawings of various craftsmen and even according to factory designs, but rarely such equipment serves for a long time and performs all the necessary tasks. Perhaps for a personal plot or a small vegetable garden, such an option will be a good solution. But practice shows that it would be more expedient for an industrial company to purchase new production equipment.

Manufacturing, tuning and operation of homemade agricultural machinery

For the production of any agricultural equipment, professional designs and drawings are required. Also, the master needs to acquire high-quality metal, a welding machine and an expensive tool for assembling the structure. At the factory, equipment is protected from corrosion and rapid wear, this is also required for handicraft assembly.

The process of creating hinged homemade equipment is quite difficult:

• manufacturing and testing of equipment in accordance with the norms and requirements of the scope of use;
• installation of attachments on a tractor, walk-behind tractor or other special equipment performing work;
• setting up tasks to be performed - this can be plowing the soil, spreading fertilizers or seeds, harvesting;
• constant monitoring of the device, making changes to the settings in the process of performing work.

It is almost impossible to set up homemade agricultural machinery to perform the work perfectly accurately. Factory devices are often supplied ready for use, and handicraft equipment requires constant monitoring of the results of actions. And this is the main problem - the functionality and performance of such products sometimes tends to zero.

The main problems in the use of handicraft equipment

Land cultivation and harvesting are complex technological processes that require a professional approach. Today, it is unacceptable to lose even 10% of the harvest due to poor quality harvesting products, since the economic benefits of automation will be negligible. In their work, agricultural equipment assembled at home can demonstrate the following unpleasant sides:

• low functionality, the ability to perform only one specific task with a specific culture;
• complex installation on a tractor or walk-behind tractor, risks of destruction of a homemade connecting element during operation;
• reduced efficiency in harvesting or planting crops, cultivating land or applying fertilizer to the soil;
• a noticeable decrease in the productivity of a land plot after such processing, a decrease in the profitability of the farm.

The specifics of life in rural areas requires the presence of certain means of small mechanization, helping the summer resident in his daily work. Especially, this applies to farmers who have large enough holdings, the processing of which is simply impossible by hand.

However, not everyone has enough funds to buy a ready-made mini tractor in a store, because its cost can be really impressive.

In such cases, homemade mini tractor rural craftsmen are becoming more and more relevant and worthy of attention. This is completely justified, because this approach to business allows you to significantly save on the purchase of the unit itself, which is the main reason for such homemade products.

It can also be interesting because the build process itself can be quite fascinatingespecially for those people who are partial to technology.

For more information about the homemade mini tractor, see the video:

Homemade mini tractor, videos of which you can freely find on the Internet for free, have similar technical data, as well as performance indicators, as store-bought options, such as mini tractors, manufactured.

Of course, they will differ in the power of the engine used, but the very specifics of the work performed by them will be similar. In principle, the idea of \u200b\u200bassembling a home-made unit was to carry out that list of agricultural work typical for a mini tractor.

Probably, its main purpose is direct work "in the field". We are talking about plowing land holdings, removing weeds so that the cultivated soil is suitable for the subsequent planting of potatoes and other vegetables and grain crops on it.

This is a paramount task for any mini tractor, no matter whether it was bought in a store or made with your own hands.

In addition, a homemade mini tractor can be used for the following purposes:

• transportation various cargoes;
• cleaning construction and household waste;
• cleaning up adjoining territories from snow masses;
• for cutting grass for the purpose of subsequent preparation of hay for livestock.

It is clear that such work will not be possible without the use of additional attachments and trailed equipment, which is aggregated with a mini tractor. Such devices can be purchased directly from a specialized store, or you can design them yourself.

Fortunately, there are plenty of all kinds of drawings on the Internet indicating the exact dimensions and parameters, which is quite enough for any rural foreman.

In general, homemade products are mainly used at the household level, which is quite understandable, because large farms and agro-industrial complexes are able to purchase more than one mini-tractor, so they do not need to resort to self-assembly of these units.

But this does not mean that homemade mini tractors will be very inferior in performance to purchased options. If this is still the case, then this lag is not critical, but at the everyday level it and not notice at all.

Device

Such homemade products in the countryside, such as a mini tractor, differ quite simple constructive device, which gives certain advantages to the person who will carry out the assembly process.

Due to the fact that self-made units are made in the image and likeness of their store “brothers”, their design will be in many ways similar.

Conventionally, you can divide a homemade mini tractor into several working nodes:

• ... This is perhaps the most important part of the mini tractor device, because the stability and performance of the entire unit will depend on the strength of the frame.
• Transmission. This device can be taken from old Soviet cars, which are quite suitable for these purposes.
• Reducer.
• Wheelbase. For this purpose, you can use wheels from old technology - the same domestic cars.
• Power unit... In a homemade mini tractor, you can use a walk-behind tractor as the main driving force. Therefore, the engine will be used the same as on the walk-behind tractor, but this is not a strict recommendation.
• For these purposes, you can use another engine, preferably a diesel engine, with a decent power (at least 9 hp).
• Steering.
• Other components. This includes the clutch, driver's seat, etc.

As we can see, most of the components will be borrowed from old, outdated equipment, so manufacturing costs are minimal. The only thing will take a little work with frame welding and setting up controls, but for a rural craftsman, this is a familiar business that does not cause any particular problems.

How to do it

Perhaps the most interesting self-assembly option is fracture mini tractor 4x4 homemade,

which is manufactured based on a walk-behind tractor. In general, this is a fairly common method of assembling a mini tractor, which proves its effectiveness and efficiency during operation.

Outwardly, such a structure looks rather cumbersome, but the internal content is completely proportional, i.e. every detail is in its place, precisely tailored to the dimensions and parameters. Consider design features in details:

Drawing 1

A photo node drawings

• The frame structure will consist of two components - spars and traverse... The side members are made of three components. The front part will be made of channel # 10, the latter will be made of a steel pipe with parameters 8 × 8 cm.
• The rear traverse will be made of channel No. 16, and the front - from channel No. 12. Cross members are made in the same way. In principle, all four-wheel drive homemade mini tractors have a similar frame design, with the same technical parameters.

• As an engine, you can practically use any power unit, the capacity of which will be sufficient to carry out agricultural work. The ideal option in this case would be to use a 4-stroke water-cooled diesel engine.
• Gearbox and transfer case PTO shaft can be taken from car GAZ-53... The clutch will fit from the GAZ-52.
• Certain problems can arise when connecting the clutch and engine. We'll have to re-make the engine flywheel, as well as make a new clutch basket cover, to fit it under the engine. The flywheel is grinded on a lathe, cutting off the back area, as well as turning an additional span in the middle.
• In general, homemade mini-tractor means fitting for specific details, so you should be prepared for the fact that you will have to turn to a turner to grind some components.
• Bridge practically installed in the structure without changes... It is attached to the frame with four ladders.
• As wheels, you can use similar ones taken from passenger cars.
  

  But there is one important caveat: the front wheels should be about 14 inches, which is the optimal value for the front axle wheels.

• The fact is that the use of a smaller diameter can provoke the unit to fall into the ground, and the use of a larger diameter will make it impossible to perform certain maneuvers.
• The scheme of walking of mini tractors and mini-cars of homemade products, presented below, clearly shows the principle of the arrangement of wheels on the axles, as well as their attachment to the frame.
• To increase the maneuverability of homemade products, you can install on steering wheel power steering. You can take it from old equipment, or assemble it yourself. To do this, we need an oil pump driven by an engine.

• An important stage of work will be the location driver's seat... It must be positioned so that the steering wheel does not rest on the driver's knees, i.e. did not interfere with the free control of the device.

Homemade mini tractor fractures have a very important advantage - they have very good indicators of maneuverability... Of course, this assembly method is a little more complicated than the alternatives, but it's definitely worth the effort.

There are quite a lot of models of cultivators of foreign and domestic production from various companies on the Russian market of agricultural products. The cultivator is a real European quality at an affordable price.

The sprayer for the garden allows you to treat the most inaccessible places, while the active agent is securely held on the leaves. By going to get acquainted with the different types of sprayers for the garden and vegetable garden.

Potato planters mechanize and refine the planting process, making the rows even, planting tubers at the same distance from each other and at the same depth. you will find all the information you need about potato planters.

In general, in this assembly method, a lot of components are taken from old domestic cars. For example, the steering rack can be borrowed from the old Zhiguli, the same can be said about the drum brake - it can also be taken from a supported car.

Top Models

Homemade mini-tractor from a walk-behind tractor is a fairly common way of making a mini tractor at home. In general, good units come from the following brands of motoblocks:

• Centaur.
• Bison.
• Neva.

For example, let's take a walk-behind tractor, from which you can easily make a future mini tractor. The whole list of works boils down to the fact that you need to make a frame structure from a metal profile, as well as supplement the device with a seat and a second wheelset.

Specifications:

• type of engine used - 4-stroke, diesel;
• fuel tank capacity - 5.5 l;
• rotation frequency - 3 thousand revolutions per minute;
• cooling type - air;
• engine capacity - 418 cm3.

The cost will be formed on the basis of the price for the walk-behind tractor itself and the cost of the materials necessary for the work. Considering that the average price for such a walk-behind tractor is about 40 thousand rubles, the final assembly price will be about 45-48 thousand rubles.

Also, good results can be achieved if you re-equip the NT-135 walk-behind tractor, which has similar characteristics as the previous version.

Specifications:

• type of engine used - 4-stroke, diesel;
• maximum power - 9 hp;
• fuel tank capacity - 5.5 l;
• rotation frequency - 3600 rpm;
• cooling type - air;
• engine capacity - 406 cm3.

The cost of the walk-behind tractor itself will be about 54 thousand rubles... At the same time, the final price for a finished home-made mini tractor will be formed based on the cost of the necessary materials. In particular, we are talking about the following components:

• Hydraulic system... In principle, you can take it from old agricultural equipment.
• Pair of wheels - taken from old domestic cars.
• Steering wheel and braking system.

I summarize all the costs, the final cost of a homemade mini tractor will reach 60 thousand rubles.

Conclusion

As we can see, there are enough many ways of making homemade mini tractors. At the same time, you can design them virtually "from scratch", welding the necessary structural parts, or remake a walk-behind tractor for these purposes. Fortunately, their design is largely similar, which makes it possible.

On the Internet, you can find a fairly large number of not only detailed drawings indicating the markup, but also a video that clearly demonstrates such units in operation.

Having looked at them, you can make sure that their principle of operation is completely identical to their purchased counterparts, so the independent production of mini tractors is becoming more appropriate.

Homemade agricultural machinery is very popular with farmers in Russia. Such designs are much cheaper than factory ones. And the flight of creative imagination of the masters is not limited by anything. Quite interesting developments are obtained that are used in agriculture.

Homemade agricultural machinery from a walk-behind tractor

Many farmers are familiar with the advantages of a conventional walk-behind tractor used in a household. Motorcycle constructions usually run on gasoline or diesel engines. The presence of wheels allows for many tasks. As a result, part of the land work is easier for the farmer. In what designs is the walk-behind tractor used?

If a farmer knows how to use a locksmith tool, a walk-behind tractor in his hands can turn into a useful unit. It can be used for:

• plowing the land;
• snow removal;
• transportation of bulk materials;
• lawn mowing;
• planting and harvesting potatoes;
• as a plow.

All designs from a walk-behind tractor can be divided into two groups. In the first case, attachments are used, in the second, the walk-behind tractor is overhauled.

Major reconstruction of the walk-behind tractor

If you show perseverance and imagination, you can make unique homemade agricultural machinery. The main types of units obtained from the walk-behind tractor:

• Trailer. This device is based on the creation of an additional trailed structure. It is important to take into account the displacement of the center of gravity, which will move back. You also need to widen the front axle.
• All-terrain vehicle. The motoblock is installed on a 4-wheel frame. The finished design will resemble an ATV or a tractor. It turns out to be an excellent homemade agricultural machinery for farmers. It is agile and highly functional.

• Hay picker. Almost all farmers build a hay picker from a walk-behind tractor. The structure is a welded frame made of pipes that are attached to a plate and installed back. Two wheels are attached in front. It turns out something like a mini-tractor.
• Snowmobile. If you install tracks on the motorcycle structure, it will make an excellent transport for movement in the conditions of snowy winters.

Homemade potato digger

The potato digger is attached to the tractor. During the movement, the knives cut the ground and collect the potato tubers. During the vibration, excess soil is shaken off the potatoes. Clean tubers are thrown into the aisles where they are harvested by hand. Homemade agricultural machinery represents many variations of this device. Working on this unit, the craftsman can determine the thickness of the iron structures and their strength. The basis is made up of a frame, which is welded from corners and a channel. A ploughshare is made of iron plates, which is attached to the elevator casing.

The elevator is given a slight tilt. Prepare rotating shafts and drum, transport and support part. The design is rather complicated, so it cannot be made without special technical skills. And the cost of such a device will not be cheap.

DIY homemade agricultural machinery is a good idea for advanced craftsmen with special skills. If there are no such abilities, the farmer can choose any units in the store.
