Plowing land requires considerable physical effort on the part of a person. But there is a technique by which this task is significantly accelerated in its execution. The article will consider the Zubr walk-behind tractor - a machine that can greatly alleviate the fate of a farmer or gardener.
Short description
First of all, you should focus on the ratio of price and quality of the unit. Motoblock "Zubr" in terms of its performance is classified as an average price indicator, however, its highest reliability and functionality also allows it to be classified as a premium class. Due to the presence of a removable seat for the driver and the wheel located under it, it is quite possible to classify the device as a mini-tractor.
The Zubr diesel motoblock is equipped with a differential lock system, which, in turn, provides the machine with high cross-country ability and maneuverability, and this is extremely important for such a powerful machine. The significant weight of the walk-behind tractor also plays into the hands of the operator, as this gives an excellent opportunity to plow even complex and heavy types of soil without problems.
In its basic configuration, the Zubr walk-behind tractor is equipped with twelve-inch wheels,having a high chevron tread. This guarantees simplified operation even on loose snow. The track to be machined will have a width corresponding to the attachment. As for the wheel track, this figure ranges from 65 to 73 centimeters.
Control Features
The motorized unit is controlled by special handles, which are operated by the user during the operation of the machine. The main controls are located on these handles. It is worth noting that the use of the driver's seat reduces the maneuverability of the unit, therefore it requires particularly accurate setting of the motion vector in this case. And most importantly: to deploy a walk-behind tractor, considerable physical strength is required, and therefore only a strong, physically strong person can drive it. Therefore, the walk-behind tractor is not intended for women.
Gearbox
Motoblock "Zubr", for which diesel is the main type of fuel, has two forward speeds and one reverse. The creators of the machine provided for the possibility of its functioning at low speeds, which ultimately provides the presence of six gears. Each of the gear shifting gears is made of stainless steel with a high carbon content. The service life of such gears is very long.
The gearbox mechanism is well sealed from the external environment, and its crankcase is filled with oil, which in principle does not need to be replaced (the only exception may be a leak).
In addition, there arethe ability to connect a second gearbox under the motor. Thanks to this combination of mechanisms, power is increased, but the speed and progress of work are reduced. Such a tandem of equipment is optimal when you have to process difficult soil or transport a large load.
A few words about the motor
Let's consider what kind of engine the Zubr motoblock has. Diesel is exactly the version of the power plant that the engineers chose when designing the unit. The motor itself is a four-stroke with a horizontal arrangement. Fuel is fed directly into the combustion chamber using a mono-injector, which, in turn, increases engine power and efficiency, and reduces fuel consumption.
The ignition system is electronic, and therefore it is able to work stably even at extreme ambient temperatures. Since it is extremely difficult to ignite diesel fuel in winter, the Zubr walk-behind tractor is also equipped with mechanical ignition with a decompressor.
Full protection against overheating of the motor is guaranteed by a water-type cooling system, which is much more efficient than its air counterpart. In parallel with it, the heat is also removed by the lubricant, which is sprayed by a gear pump.
Not to mention vibration. During operation, of course, there is, but it does not affect the operation of the unit. All vibration phenomena are extinguished due to the weight of the motor itself, the frame. At the moment of control, the return to the hands is felt, but not critical.
Parameters andaccessories
Depending on the needs of users, the machine can be aggregated with:
- Potato digger.
- Potato planter.
- Shovel-dump.
- Plow.
- Harrow.
- Flat cutter.
- Okuchnik.
- Wheel extensions.
As for the technical characteristics, the walk-behind tractor has the following main indicators:
- Dimensions – 2170х845х1150 mm.
- Ground clearance - 210 mm.
- Weight - 290 kilograms.
- Motor weight - 115 kilograms.
- Power - 11.4 horsepower.
- Engine size - 815 cu. see
In general, the Zubr walk-behind tractor, the price of which ranges from 54,000 to 71,000 Russian rubles, received overwhelmingly positive feedback from its users.
