ATTACHMENTS FOR MOTOR CULTIVATORS: HOW TO INCREASE THE CAPABILITIES OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

The motor-cultivator is a modern, multifunctional equipment, which makes it possible to significantly facilitate agricultural work of any type. It is used for loosening and weeding the soil, as well as to remove weeds. However, the use of special auxiliary mounted units designed for a motor-cultivator can significantly expand its scope and functionality.

Potato harvester

Planting and digging up potatoes is one of the most urgent tasks of a modern gardener. In order to maximally simplify and speed up the process of growing a vegetable, the motoblock is transformed by means of attachments into a potato tenant or planter.

We advise owners of a large garden plot or garden to learn how to make a potato-ticker with their own hands and the main types of potato-talons for the motoblock, the advantages and disadvantages of using them in the garden.

The plant for planting vegetables makes it possible to automate the process by placing potatoes at the desired depth. By means of a special plow, it makes furrows, where the root crop, previously loaded in a special bunker, is placed with equal intervals. The step of disembarkation is regulated by the corresponding mechanism with the help of interchangeable sprockets included in the kit. Thus, in one pass, the motor-cultivator performs all the necessary work performed during the mechanical planting of a vegetable.

The hinged potato planter of single-row or double-row type easily joins different types of motor-blocks. The weight of such a unit can vary from 25 to 45 kg, and the distance between the wheels - 40-70 cm.

Potato digger allows you to reduce the time for digging potatoes. The principle of its work is quite simple: with a special knife it captures the ground, which falls on the shaking mechanism, sifting the soil and selecting the roots. Such units are one-, two-, three-row, which make it possible to harvest from several rows at once, which is very convenient when working in large areas.

Plow hiller

For additional attachments can be attributed plow-hiller, the main tasks of which is the formation of furrows and their further powder ground after planting potatoes. The nozzle allows you to slightly raise the earthen grooves, thereby creating good ventilation for vegetables and eliminates excess moisture.

There are several varieties of hillers:

disk - considered the most practical, convenient and effective. It has high ridges that easily form a furrow of the required size. The nozzle has a simple principle of operation, clear design, comfortable to drive;
with the ability to change the width of the girth - the design assumes the presence of an adjusting mechanism, with the help of which the setting of the wing arrangement is carried out. By adjusting this coefficient, you can get the most optimal width of the aisle;
propeller - Will be a good option for power tillers with two forward gears. At the heart of the operation of the device are propellers, whose task is to pre-crush the soil and remove unnecessary weeds;
lister - the most primitive hiller, since it lacks the function of setting the width of the furrow. The average seizure is 30 cm - the most common indicator for planting crops.

Hillers produce single or double row.

Mower

An almost indispensable tool for gardeners in the summer is a mower, which facilitates labor and reduces the time for mowing the grass.

Choosing a mower for a walker, you must analyze the landscape of the land on which it will be applied. At each site grows grass of different heights, thicknesses, composition. Given the parameters of the grass, the following types of equipment have been developed:

disk, or rotor;
finger, or segmental.

Disc mower

The first is used for mowing thick grass, vegetation with a diameter of up to 1 cm, small shrubs. The disk model is suitable for flat terrain with an angle of inclination not higher than 15-20 degrees. With such a mowing mowing stacked in rows.

Important! Stones should be avoided when working with a rotary mower, as this may cause damage to the device.

The belt driven finger mower is designed for thick, overgrown areas, as well as for mowing vegetation on hay harvesting.

Finger mower

The design features of the equipment imply the presence of cutting knives, which under the action of the motor carry out slow translational movements. The aggregate is not afraid of rough branches or stones. The coupling mechanism makes it possible to quickly dismantle and install the mower to the motor-block. Segment mower is recommended for use on uneven terrain. It is equipped at the edges with a sled, which allows you to adjust the height of the bevel, thereby mowing the grass without a residue.

For those who prefer a hand braid, it is useful to familiarize yourself with how to use and care for a hand braid.

When working with a scythe, do not forget about safety. It is necessary every two hours to turn off the unit and carry out an inspection on the strength of the nuts, fasteners, belt tension. It is strictly forbidden to be in front of the device during the mowing.

Plow-plow

Tillage, its preparation for further sowing or preparation after harvesting is one of the most laborious and hard work in horticulture. The plow-plow is designed to make this process much easier. Its function is to deep tillage without overturning the seam. The basis of the design of this unit are the sharepieces - the correct geometric shape of knives, mounted on a special axis. The materials of which the plow is made have high strength, wear resistance, and the ability to withstand high operating loads.

There are three types of plows:

single hull: used for lightweight soil, have only one share;
reverse: differ in the bent form of plowshares with which help plowing of the soil is carried out. Can be used for heavier earth. Allow to fluff well the land layer and prevent the growth of weeds;
rotary: have a more complex structure, the base of which are several pairs of plowshares, among them two are responsible for cultivating the land, and another two - for loosening. This model works faster than the reverse, which makes it possible to move faster and save time for plowing. Rotary plows are suitable for handling heavy, rough soil. Such a unit can be used to loosen the soil for almost all types of agricultural crops. Moreover, he copes with plowing virgin lands and rice fields.

Did you know? Today, the plow is almost the only agricultural equipment invented before our era and having survived many improvements, but it is still in demand and relevant.

Trailer

A motor-cultivator with a sufficiently powerful engine can be easily turned into a small cargo-type vehicle with the help of a special coupling mechanism and a single-axle trailer. Such a unit is capable of carrying cargo from 100 to 400 kg, while moving on dirt terrain at a speed of 7-10 km / h, on an asphalt road - about 16-18 km / h.

The main disadvantage of such equipment is the complexity in its management. The fact is that the design of the motoblock is devoid of full-fledged controls and braking, therefore, it is very difficult to control it on a hitch with a trailer. There are trailers that are fully equipped with brakes, lighting devices, driver's seats. As a rule, they are designed for heavy, large motoblocks.

Seat adapter

The adapter with a seat will become indispensable in the process of work on a motor-cultivator. The adapter is a special module that is installed to ride on the motor-block. It allows you to carry out the necessary ground work, while sitting control equipment.

Familiarize yourself with the technical characteristics of such motor-blocks as “Neva MV 2”, “Zubr JR-Q12E”, “Centaur 1081D” and “Salyut 100”.

With the help of an adapter with a seat, it is possible to significantly simplify and simplify the use of the motor-block. Its construction consists of:

folding two-wheel frame;
driver's seat;
one pair of wheels;
mechanism for coupling.

In appearance, the adapter resembles a cart. When coupled with him motorbike turns into a full mini-tractor. Thanks to the installation of the adapter, the equipment acquires additional stability, and the presence of a comfortable seat makes the work more comfortable.

Wheel lugs

The classic model of the motoblock is equipped with two wheels consisting of tires, tires and an eye, thanks to which the equipment easily moves along asphalt roads to the garden. In the absence of a good road to a cottage or garden, transporting the unit can cause certain difficulties. You can avoid them by installing special grouser wheels.

Grousers are wheels with spikes that pry into the ground, thereby providing traction for the soil and the motoblock. Thanks to them, you can without any difficulties to move on priming, not asphalted road sections. Through the lugs it becomes easier to move the walker up the hill. In addition, due to their design, they increase the weight of the equipment, thus improving its durability, which is very important when using various additional nozzles.

Important! It is recommended for motor-cultivators of a light class, together with the lugs, to acquire special weighting materials - containers made of metal, filled with sand, stones or soil. This will ensure the most complete adhesion of the motoblock with the soil.

Branch Shredder

The branch chopper, or, as it is also called, the chipper is also an attachment to the walk-behind tractor. It is intended for processing branches, garden pruning, shredding tree crowns or wood waste. Crushed branches, knots allowed for the manufacture of pallets, pellets for heating. One of the main tasks of the machine is the preparation of firewood.

For the organization of work on the dacha gardener and gardener need special equipment: lawn mower, plow and snowthrower.

In most cases, the chipper is mounted on large, heavy tillers. The operation of the unit is carried out by means of belts that are connected to the front power take-off shaft of the motor. There are models, supplemented by tables and cones for chopping firewood. As a cutting tool in such devices, a knife system is used.

Lawn Aerator

Along with the cultivation of the land, grass mowing is a mandatory component when working with grass and lawns is their aeration - the process of enriching the soil with oxygen. For this, it is recommended to use a special nozzle for the motoblock - an aerator. It is an additional hinged shaft, which is installed instead of cutters. Consists of a device of wheels and spokes, piercing the ground. Aerator allows you to provide access to the root system of grass and lawns oxygen, mineral fertilizers and moisture. This device can work with multicultivators of any type.

Did you know? The most famous lawn in the world is located in Australia near the Canberra Parliament Building. The irrigation system on the forty hundred squares of lawn has 8 thousand sprinklers, through which 95 megaliters of irrigation water pass annually.

Today, attachments for motoblocks are presented in a wide range. It greatly simplifies, facilitates and accelerates the execution of many agricultural work, but do not buy "all at once." Experts advise to choose only that which is really necessary for work in the coming season. It is not advisable that the units needlessly gather dust in the barn, and their warranty expires.
