For many residents in rural areas, and just summer residents who are passionate about their business, it is necessary to have a small but easy-to-use equipment to increase productivity, and often just to reduce the load. By far, the most common option in our country today is a walk-behind tractor. This is not surprising - the equipment is quite convenient and easy to operate. But motoblocks do not allow to process more or less vast areas, to move heavy loads. To solve such problems, a mini tractor is most effective.
Where to begin?
As practice shows, the contingent of minitractors in need of acquisition, if you do not take into account the farmers who received loans for development, does not have sufficient financial resources to buy a new factory machine. For this reason, there are ideas about how to assemble a mini tractor with your own hands. A lot of advice on the implementation of this procedure is offered on forums of relevant topics. It is worth noting that there are universal tips on how to make a mini tractor. The most acceptable option is the option: "Collect from what is." Most often, a homemade mini tractor is created on the basis of an existing model of an industrial version, while absolutely varying in matters of components, assemblies and components. Bearing elements are taken as a basis - a frame, a crankcase, pendants - everything else, as they say, is a flight of an uncontrollable fantasy of a master. At the same time, the created mini-tractor with its own hands is unlikely to ultimately resemble its prototype.
"Chinese" as a source base
As noted above, you can create a homemade mini tractor from everything that is possible to quickly and, most importantly, inexpensive to get in the region of residence. As an example, you can consider the option of assembling a machine on the basis of tractors from China Sin-tai, popular in our country. It is worth noting that this miracle of technical thought was designed, possibly in Russia, which, in fact, is confirmed by the possibility of replacing many units and components with domestic analogues, which, of course, are cheaper than imported ones. It is interesting that these models provide for the transmission elements only transmission housing (gearbox, clutch) and the power unit unit. If we are going to use an engine (for example, from Moskvich 408) that is not designed for the loads of the chassis, then it’s worth considering the installation of a power frame.
Goal of fiction
Naturally, to assemble a mini tractor with your own hands, it is necessary to show, at times, the height of ingenuity and originality of thought. This is due to the fact that units and structural elements from different, sometimes radically, types of equipment, for obvious reasons, do not fit together well. Dimensions, mounting methods, holes, shafts will vary. In the above example, the task of how to make a mini tractor is complicated by the problem of connecting the engine from Moskvich to the clutch housing. Neither dimensions, nor position, nor even the number of corresponding mounting holes match. In this case, our homemade products very often use the so-called adapter ring, which, on the one hand, fits into the first unit, and on the other, respectively, with the second.
And in conclusion, I would like to note that it is not so difficult to assemble a mini tractor with your own hands. It is enough to make a little effort, not only physical, but, above all, mental, to show your locksmith capabilities - as a result, prove to yourself that you can something more, moreover, please your loved ones and facilitate your work on your own personal plot or in field. Good luck to all beginnings.
