Every day, new devices are invented that are designed to facilitate the life of a person and his work. The agricultural industry is no exception. Mechanical machines come to the aid of man in the process of harvesting and cultivating the land. And the most different caliber: from a mechanical plow to a combine.
On private farmsteads, you can increasingly find such a device as a walk-behind tractor. With it, you can cultivate the land and harvest a ripe crop. An indispensable device during its operation is a trailer for a walk-behind tractor.
This kind of trailer structure can be of several types. The main ones are a specialized trailer and a universal one. The latter can be used in conjunction with a motor cultivator. The size can vary from a small wagon, which can hardly fit one person, to a small trailer that can carry a load of 800 kg.
A trailer for a walk-behind tractor is an indispensable thing in a private backyard. Thanks to its design, the body can be tilted, which facilitates unloading. The farmer also hasthe ability to work while sitting. This fact increases labor productivity, and the processing of the site takes less time.
Due to the fact that walk-behind tractors with a trailer, the prices of which are quite high (within 30-35 thousand rubles), are inaccessible devices for many, many enthusiasts have appeared who are able to independently design this simple device.
If we consider factory models, then the most popular will be the trailer for the Neva walk-behind tractor. This type of trailer is made only from galvanized steel. This helps to prevent corrosion, which will allow you to use the trailer for a walk-behind tractor for a long time.
If you do not have enough money to buy a tow hitch, information on how to build a trailer for a walk-behind tractor yourself may be useful for you.
To begin with, let's figure out what basic details it consists of. In most cases, this is a frame, body, wheels, carrier. The last element consists of only a few details. The main one is the drawbar, which is directly connected to the swivel.
The carrier must be designed according to the individual characteristics of the person who will directly use the trailer. It is necessary to take into account the length of the rein handles, as it will be difficult to sit with outstretched arms for a long time.
Frame production is a rather responsible process. For herfoundations, it is necessary to use a steel angle, rods, round and rectangular pipes. All elements are interconnected by a strong welded seam.
To make an axle, a steel rod with a diameter of at least 30 mm will suffice. The rod is attached to the body of the longitudinal hinge and spars. In this case, corner supports and so-called scarves are used.
Thus, knowing the main points of the design of the walk-behind tractor, you can make it yourself. And here it all depends on your imagination and skills.
