Mini-tractors do not provide for a cab or at least some kind of wind protection. This limits the operation of equipment in bad weather. In the summer, the mini-tractor effectively mows the grass, as well as cope with other household tasks.
Models and their characteristics
The technical component of mini-machines allows them to be classified as a universal class of equipment. All technical components are the development of a Chinese manufacturer.
For example, model "Fighter" T-15 it is characterized by an improved power unit, the engine life is good. The design uses high-quality clutches, improved carrying capacity. Without attachments, the dimensions of the machine are comparable to a small walk-behind tractor: 214 * 90 * 117 cm.The total weight of the unit is 410 kg, and the distance from the engine to the road is 18 cm.
The technique shows excellent maneuverability in confined spaces. The engine of the model is diesel single-cylinder, motor resource - 15 liters. with. and volume - 993 liters.
Another popular model is "Fighter" T-18... This unit is equipped with an 18 hp S1100 engine. with. The car has an improved gearbox. The weight of the unit is 630 kg, the permissible milling cutter is 140 cm. The equipment is equipped with a differential lock, which is supplied to full-fledged tractors. A three-position valve is provided for hydraulics. There are two modes to control the technique - fixed or free. The large wheels of this tractor make it easy to move around the plow. The diesel engine can easily cope with heavy loads.
Option T-22 in comparison with the previous ones it differs in greater endurance. The ZS1115 engine provides 20 hp. with., differs in a cylinder of 11 cm, a piston stroke of 12 cm, a volume of 1115 cm cube. The gearbox differential is planetary here.One of the drive wheels can rotate in the opposite direction, blocking movement during too heavy work. The hydraulics provide high-quality ascent, descent, braking. The seat and track of the tractor are variable.
The largest selection of attachments is provided for equipment. For example, a side braid, which cannot be used on the T-15 variant.
Optional equipment
Special sheds of the mini-tractor allow the use of a mass of attachments. Among the examples, the most commonly used spare parts are:
- seeder;
- rake;
- cultivator;
- plow;
- harrow;
- sprayers;
- potato planters;
- mowers;
- brushes;
- tillers.
The work of additional equipment directly depends on the power take-off shaft. The type of this device on mini-tractors "Fighter" is independent, with two speeds and mechanical control. The lower the number of revolutions - 540 per minute, the larger - 1176.
The tractor can be driven on the road with attachments, as the hydraulics help raise the parts high. The frame of modern mini-tractors is reinforced, so the machine can cope even with heavy elements.
For example, the weight of the attachment with the supplied rotary tiller is 24 kg. A tractor equipped with a hitch produces a processing speed of 2-7 km / h. The depth of tillage is 12-17 cm, and the width of the row is 120 cm. This makes it possible to plow both large areas (from 1 to 10 hectares), as well as a small field of 20 hectares.
In addition to a rotary tiller, a plow or a potato planter can be included in the basic package. Maintenance of equipment should be carried out according to the instructions. It involves a mandatory check of oil and fuel. In the operation of equipment, there should be no extraneous noise and leaks. Periodic inspection of the tractor systems will help identify breakdowns.
Possible malfunctions
Any technique needs respect. This will help to avoid operational failures and, hence, costly repairs. Preventive examinations will also extend the operational period. But even with a competent approach to servicing a tractor, a number of troubles can occur, which can be divided into groups related to engine or component malfunctions. Knowing the main signs, you can find out and eliminate the cause yourself.
For example, if the tractor does not start:
- the reason may be the presence of air in the tank;
- abrasion of the components of the fuel system;
- valve problems;
- starter breakdown;
- improper operation of the piston system.
Inspection of each of the systems involves a strict sequence of actions. You need to test each system separately with special professional devices. This is the only way to identify and eliminate possible malfunctions.
For example, adjusting the clutch allows the link length to be set correctly. This will ensure that the lever travels smoothly and that the release bearing works properly. An important point in this work is the adjustment of the clutch clearances. The optimum value between the heads and the clutch release bearing legs is 0.3-0.5 mm.
If the tractor gets very hot during operation, possible reasons may be:
- unsuitable oil;
- coolant leak;
- damaged valves and gaskets;
- clogged filters;
- exceeding the permissible loads.
Poor lubrication and overloading of the machine lead to premature wear of the working parts of the tractor. If oil is leaking, there may be wear on the component pistons.
Defective parts can be changed. Just remember that new parts must be of high quality. You also need to pay attention to the operation of the ignition.
