Huter cultivators are produced simultaneously with a wide range of attachments. Such devices make the unit multifunctional and increase its productivity. Therefore, in order to facilitate the work in the country or on the farm as much as possible, the owners need to additionally purchase attachments and transport equipment. The Huter brand supplies the following types of accessories to its cultivators:

• lugs;
• pump for water supply;
• potato digger;
• harrow;
• hiller;
• trailer;
• mower;
• plow;
• snow blower.

Since the cultivator design is equipped with a special hitch, all of the above types of equipment can be installed on it without any problems. In models with a low weight, weights are used for this. Weights help the attachments sink into the ground. Depending on the volume and type of work planned to be performed on the site, the owners need to additionally purchase such devices.

After purchasing the unit, be sure to run it in. It is a series of actions that are aimed at extending the life of the cultivator. As a result, the parts undergo running-in, and the units are lubricated with oil. Before starting work (and running in as well), it is important to perform the following activities:

• fill in oil and fuel;
• start the engine according to the manufacturer's instructions - it must run at idle speed for at least 20 minutes;
• re-gas several times, as well as smoothly increase the engine speed to the maximum indicator (in this mode, the engine should run for 4 hours);
• after testing, you can install the wheels and check the operation of the unit without attachments;
• when the break-in is done, the oil should be drained and changed.

Despite the fact that Huter cultivators work flawlessly, they can sometimes fail. This is most often caused by improper operation or prolonged operation of the motor at high loads. In order to prevent breakdowns, experts recommend observing the following rules.

• Check the oil and fuel level in the tank regularly. If it is lacking or completely absent, the motor parts will fail. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the unit must use 10W40 engine oil. It should be replaced for the first time after 10 hours of operation, then periodically refilled with a new one every 50 hours of operation. Gasoline with an octane rating of at least 92 is suitable as fuel for the cultivator. Before filling the fuel, first open the lid in the tank and wait a little until the pressure in the tank equilibrates.
• Do not close the air damper when starting the engine, otherwise you can fill the candle. If the engine does not start, then the main cause is a malfunction of the spark plug. It should be checked, cleaned or replaced. Sometimes a candle may coke during operation, in this case it is enough to simply clean it. Sometimes, the tip of the candle may get wet; to eliminate the problem, dry or replace it.
• It is also important to check the operation of the rotating parts and check the belt size. If necessary, the fasteners are tightened and the cables and belts are adjusted. If you do not do this, then in the future you may face the fact that the wheels will stop rotating. In addition, due to the loosening of the fasteners, the cultivator gearbox will start to operate noisily.
