Features of mini tractors with front loader
A mini-tractor is a good helper for every owner of a garden and a vegetable garden, it assists in the care of the territory, plantings, soil. This technique, in conjunction with a bucket, will be an ideal option for transporting goods, for example, during construction.
Appointment
The front loader for a mini tractor is a type of attachment, it is equipped with a boom and a bucket. In addition to the bucket, many other attachments can be connected to the equipment, making the equipment more mobile. With the help of the leading edge, the user has the ability to unload, hence the name of the equipment "frontal".
In order for the technique to function in the local area, you can use various attachments.
- Front loader for mini-tractor. This type of equipment is often used to load trucks and trailers.
- KUHN (mounted universal bucket) - excavator bucket, which is an effective device for leveling the soil, clearing snow drifts, and loading garbage into the trailer.
This equipment is of a similar design type. In turn, the front attachment can be of two types.
- Standard - it has found its application in construction. This model is quite functional, and in conjunction with a mini-tractor it can become an alternative to an excavator or tractor.
- Skid steer loader it has good maneuverability due to its size, therefore it is effective for working in a small area.
Usually the location of the bucket is concentrated in the front of the mini-tractor, but there is also a rear-mounted type. The working process of the equipment begins with the actuation of several handles. Thanks to the special design, KUHN can easily collect a wide variety of materials that are free flowing. But also mini-tractors with front-end loaders easily transfer and transport various items.
Some models are equipped with automatic steering, the rest of the options operate using hydraulic-based hinge mechanisms. The main functions of the unit with a hitch are cleaning the snow cover, participating in construction work, transporting garbage, building materials, unloading and unloading hay, crushed stone, stones, and so on.
Advantages and disadvantages
To the advantages of mini-tractors with front loaders include the following:
- universal application and performance of a wide range of tasks;
- robust design that was developed taking into account individual user characteristics;
- quick attachment of the bucket and ease of dismantling;
- easy control and simple operation of the hitch;
- good performance.
Of the minuses, one can single out the weak protection of the main module, as well as open access to the hose.
How to do it yourself?
In order to make a KUHN for a mini-tractor, you need to know a detailed diagram. Thanks to the drawings, you can determine the size of the elements and the features of the fasteners. In order to assemble a unit with a belt drive, it is necessary to prepare an apparatus for welding, a grinder and a drill with drills. Wrenches are required to fix the elements. To create a bucket, it is worth using a sheet of steel and pipes.
Let's list the stages of collecting a loader for equipment.
- Manufacturing of a fastener, the base of which is welded to the engine and mini-tractor box. To strengthen the fasteners, you can use a steel corner.
- To make the bucket itself, you need to use a steel sheet. The latter is bent into a KUHN shape and welded. The durability of the equipment depends on how high-quality the welding seams are. It is possible to make racks from pipes that have a diameter of 0.1 m, and rods from pipes with a thickness of 0.05 meters.
- The next stage of work will be the installation of a hydraulic amplifier, for the mobility of which you can use a pipe with a thickness of 0.3 cm.
- In the front part, it is worth welding the support, as well as combining it with the racks. To strengthen the structure, it is worth using "kerchiefs".
- A cylinder must be used to control and regulate the bucket rotation angles. This part is mounted on the right side of the bucket.
Home-made constructions are the most reliable and durable. They are lightweight, so they can be installed independently.
Operating rules
For correct and high-quality operation of a mini-tractor with a front loader you need to remember the basic rules for its operation:
- use the equipment only for its intended purpose;
- it is worth lowering and raising the loader with special care and tracking its direction;
- do not transport cargo that weighs more than the unit has the ability to transport;
- when the loaded machine moves, the KUHN must be in the lowered state.
To use this type of equipment, the user must have certain skills, as well as remember the safety rules. Since the weight of the mini-tractor is small, in conjunction with the bucket, the balance is not always maintained, therefore, it became expedient to use protective systems and counterweights.
The lineup
After defining the tasks that will be assigned to the mini-tractor with a front loader, you can begin to select the unit. Leaders among manufacturers can be called Chinese, Japanese, French companies. Thanks to modern technologies, users have the opportunity to buy reliable, functional, modern equipment. The rear electric loader, pellet loader, rear-mounted loader, jaw loader, fork loader are very popular.
Do not assume that a home-made version will not last long, in some cases such a technique is more reliable than a purchased one.
But consider the most popular models.
