Mole cultivators of the Krot series have been produced in our country for a very long time (since 1983) and have managed to prove themselves from the best side. This wonderful technique has been successfully used for tillage by summer residents and farmers for more than three decades. There are many tools suitable for the Krot motor cultivator. With the help of this technique in the garden or in the field, you can do a variety of jobs.
Design features
The cultivator is equipped with a two-stroke single-cylinder engine with a capacity of 2.6 liters. with. According to the manufacturer, this technique can be used on any soil. However, according to many summer residents, the engine power is not enough to process clay soils. The cultivator plows heavy soil to an insufficient depth (only 150 mm with the prescribed 250 mm). In this regard, the manufacturer has developed several modifications equipped with more powerful engines, mostly imported.
Krot motor cultivator comes with four milling cutters. When ploughing, capture occursstrips of land with a width of 600 mm, which allows you to work quite quickly with good quality. If desired, the cultivator can also be used with six cutters. However, he cannot work with eight. In this case, the masses of equipment simply cannot withstand the handle. In addition, the load on the gearbox and motor increases greatly, which can lead to their breakdown.
Tillage with cutters and plow
Plowing with this equipment can be done in two ways. Milling cutters for the Krot motor cultivator during operation simultaneously serve as its movers. It is quite convenient to cultivate the soil with their help, and most summer residents prefer this particular method. However, if desired, the cutters can be replaced with wheels, and a plow can be attached to the cultivator. In this case, it is installed instead of the coulter. In order to carry out better plowing, experienced gardeners are advised to first walk on the soil with a cultivator, loosening the top layer to a depth of 10 cm. In this case, the equipment will not dig into the ground due to the severity of the gearbox.
Polyolniks for the mole cultivator
With the help of this wonderful technique, you can not only plow the land, but also weed, say, potatoes. The manufacturer has provided for the possibility of using special weeders as attachments to the Mole. These tools are L-shaped. With the Mole, huge areas can be weeded in a matter of hours.
What else can you douse?
Motor-cultivator "Krot-MK", among other things, can also be used for hilling potatoes. To do this, instead of the coulter, a special hiller is connected to it. It can be ordinary equipment, but it is best to use disk. Such hillers well raise even wet soil. And for a cultivator with a rather weak engine, which is the "Mole", they will be just the perfect option. It is also possible to install a mass-produced mower. Some summer residents use the Mole to transport goods (the maximum allowable weight is 200 kg). At the same time, a TM-200 trolley is attached to it. Also, with the help of this motor-cultivator, it is possible to irrigate (the MNU-2 pumping unit is used).
Thus, the mole cultivator (which, by the way, is quite easy to get spare parts for, unlike imported equipment) is a rather convenient and multifunctional design. Given the fact that this equipment is not too expensive, it is definitely worth buying it for your summer cottage. Especially if the soil on it is not too heavy.
