Motoblocks are supplied to the modern domestic market by many well-known post-Soviet companies. Some of these manufacturers produce light equipment of this type, designed to process only small summer cottages. Other companies produce professional plowmen. The Ufa-Mechanika LLC is also among the latter. This manufacturer supplies the market with powerful high-quality Agro walk-behind tractors. The feedback from farmers on the technique of this brand has earned just excellent.
A little about the manufacturer
The first Agros walk-behind tractors in our country left the assembly line of the Ufa Motor Plant. In the 90s, this is the oldest company in Russia specializing in the production of engines for aircraft, like many others like it, experienced economic difficulties. In order for the plant to survive, its management then had to decide on the production of small agricultural equipment and other consumer goods that were in demand in those years.
The first plowmen left the assembly line of this enterprise in 1998. Then these models were called Agros. Already in those days, equipment from this manufacturer began to be very popular among consumers. Owners of household plots spoke about motor blocks of this brand very well.
Later, the plowmen of the Ufa Motor Plant were modernized and renamed Agro. For all the time that the plant was engaged in the production of such equipment, it sold more than 40 thousand units.
In 2008, the production of agricultural equipment "Agro" at the Ufa enterprise was discontinued. The plant returned to its original specialization. Somewhat later, the company’s management signed an agreement with Ufa-Mechanika LLC on a partnership and transfer of the technical base for the manufacture of plowmen. At the moment, this company is the manufacturer of Agro motoblocks in Russia.
General characteristics
Modern domestic plowmen "Agro" are a powerful multi-functional agricultural machinery. At specialized forums on the Web, many owners of cottages, farmsteads and farms definitely recommend buying such units.
This technique is manufactured according to the classical uniaxial scheme and is equipped with a power take-off shaft. These machines have earned good reviews for being equipped with a differential. The presence of such a structural element significantly increases their maneuverability and, consequently, ease of use.
The weight of the motor blocks of this brand are significant - about 160 kg. Transporting them, as many farm owners have noted, is therefore quite difficult. However, the Agro equipment is capable of developing quite a high speed - up to 15 km / h. The maneuverability of this plowman increases, among other things, and a handle of a special design, capable of turning at a large angle.
Scope of use
Since Agro walk-behind tractors are very heavy and powerful, they are usually purchased either by the owners of very large summer cottages or by owners of small farms. It was from such consumers that these walk-behind tractors deserved the best reviews. Most often, Agro models are used by farmers and summer residents to:
That is, this technique is intended primarily for the performance of agricultural work.
Where else can be used
In addition to working on the ground, Agro walk-behind tractors can be used to perform, for example, such tasks as snow removal in winter and track cleaning. The yard and access roads to the house using this technique, since it has significant power, can be cleaned, judging by the reviews, very quickly.
Also, Agro walk-behind tractors are very often used by homeowners and farmers to transport goods. In this regard, this technique also earned good reviews. If necessary, these walk-behind tractors can carry loads weighing up to 500 kg.
Engine
The equipment of this brand is being assembled mainly from domestic components. The motor on these models is installed single-cylinder UMZ-341. This engine for Agro walk-behind tractors is rated at 8 l / s. Judging by the reviews of summer residents, it, among other things, can be considered quite reliable and durable.
Sometimes, the owners of household plots, in order to improve the operational characteristics of such a plowman, independently put on it the Chinese engines "Lifan". Agro walk-behind tractors with motors of this brand are ideal, for example, for plowing problem areas with heavy soil. Lifan engines from 9 to 13 l / s can be installed on Ufa plowmen. Sometimes engines of other brands can also be mounted on such motoblocks.

Residents of summer residents
Thus, judging by the reviews of land owners, there are many advantages for motor blocks of this brand. But of course, this technique has some disadvantages. These farmers include in the first place:
inconvenience in preparing for haymaking;
fairly fast failure of the ignition coil;
lack of balances included.
Also, some farmers consider the disadvantages of these walk-behind tractors to be that they do not start very well in the cold. Strong noise and vibration, of course, can also be attributed to the disadvantages of Agro.
Farmer suggestions for improvement
At the moment, "Agro" is almost the only professional heavy walk-behind tractor manufactured in Russia. This technique, judging by the reviews, is quite good for farmers. However, in the design of such walk-behind units, according to the owners of household plots, there are still certain “jambs”.
For example, some farmers would advise the manufacturer to make gear shifting more clear in these walk-behind tractors. Also, as owners of land allotments note, in order to replace oil seals, Agro has to disassemble almost the weight of the engine. In addition, many farmers believe that it would be nice for these models to strengthen the steering.
The weight of the Agro walk-behind tractors is, of course, large. But many owners of the plots advise the manufacturer to also begin production of models for 200 kg. Such plowmen, of course, would have liked the owners of small farms. Judging by the reviews, sometimes, unfortunately, the weight is not enough for arable land using the Agro plow.
Multi "Agro"
In the domestic market there is another plowman with a similar name. This is the Neva Agro Multi walk-behind tractor. The technique of this brand is also very popular among consumers. But it is not produced by Ufa-Mechanika LLC, but by the Red October plant, well known to many from Soviet times.
