The walk-behind tractor is a mechanized assistant to the gardener, which reduces labor costs and the user's health. When combined with a steering adapter, this device increases driving comfort and further reduces exercise.

In fact, the adapter allows you to turn the walk-behind tractor into a kind of mini-tractor. From the material of this article, you will learn the device of the adapter, its purpose, varieties, installation nuances and subtleties of operation.

Device and purpose

The design of the adapter for the walk-behind tractor is nothing more than a simple device-trailer or trolley with a frame and a seat for the operator, which is connected to the walk-behind tractor. This device is convenient in that, when added to a walk-behind tractor, it significantly increases its functionality, but at the same time it does not require registration, as is the case with a tractor. The system is supplied with wheels, and can also provide for fastening of attachments. With the help of this unit, you can transform the walk-behind tractor into a device for transporting goods.

The adapter can be factory or self-made. However, regardless of this, his device will consist of basic working elements. Differences will be determined by the type of unit. The model is equipped with a steering wheel, which greatly simplifies the technician's control during work. The structure itself can be long or short. Given the lightness of the class, the product can be attached not only to two, but also to one wheel of the walk-behind tractor.

The design of the adapter provides for the presence of a steering drive, which is made in the form of a separate unit, as well as a rigid hitch, which is responsible for the connection with motor vehicles.

The steering adapter can be used for hay harvesting, leveling the soil surface, transporting loads, plowing, loosening and hilling the soil, and clearing the area from snow. However, in each case it is worth understanding: for a specific purpose, additional attachments will also have to be used.

Often they purchase a plow, harrow, hiller, mower, snow blower, potato digger and potato planter. The rest of the device can be called comfortable - the operator is sitting in it.

The device consists of a frame, a seat for the user, two wheels, an axle and a hitch mechanism. The seat is attached to a frame that is attached to the chassis. The wheels of the adapter for a motoblock with steering control may be different, depending on the purpose of the equipment. For example, metal options are used to work with the soil, rubber counterparts are used to move on the road.

Connecting with a walk-behind tractor, a full-fledged construction with four wheels is obtained. Despite the fact that it does not obey the regulations (does not register) and such a unit cannot be driven on public roads, the technique is indispensable in everyday life for any owner of a private house with a personal plot.

A distinctive feature of the adapter for a walk-behind tractor with steering is the fact that it provides control of both the front and rear wheels. The technique itself is quite simple to operate.

The coupling mechanism of the adapter is made of steel or cast iron by welding. It allows you to fix the cart to the walk-behind tractor.In this case, the best system is the U-shaped mounting option, which has proven its stability in practice. The adapter weighs on average 20-22 kg, it can have a carrying capacity of up to 100 kg. The speed of its movement together with the walk-behind tractor can exceed 10 km / h.

Advantages and disadvantages

The adapter steering of the walk-behind tractor is convenient in that:

  • the need for walking for motor vehicles is eliminated;
  • the traction potential of the walk-behind tractor is fully realized;
  • the functionality of agricultural equipment increases;
  • simplifies the transportation of the unit to a specific processing area;
  • easier control - no more operator effort required;
  • the structure can be disassembled if necessary;
  • there is sufficient balance on all axes.

The disadvantages include an increase in fuel consumption, which after alteration takes one and a half times more. However, these losses are justified by the simplicity of management and the saving of an enormous amount of time that the gardener spends when working with the land.

Varieties

Steering adapters can be classified by wheel arrangement. The steering gear is performed in a separate node format. The wheels with the steering drive option can be located at the front and rear. As for the position of the steering gear, it depends on the design features and spare parts, because during operation, repair and replacement of worn parts cannot be avoided.

Models with the adapter at the front are called front-steering variants. In such modifications, the engine is a kind of tractor of the entire unit. If the adapter is located at the back, and the walk-behind tractor has to pull it along, such a device is called rear-wheel drive. In other words, if the adapter is in front of the walk-behind tractor, this is a front-type product, and if it is behind, then the rear one.

The buyer makes the choice of this or that option himself, based on his own preferences.

For example, the front version is more suitable for loosening and plowing cultivated soil. Here, in addition to the strength of the motorcycle, there is no need for an overview of the site. If you need to huddle the cultivated crop, then the rear analog is better for such purposes.

However, you can look at the option where the adapter is closer to the drive axle. In this case, the operator's weight will create an additional load, preventing the walk-behind tractor from jumping out of the ground while the equipment is operating.

Based on the variety, adapters can be classified into body and bodyless adapters. The former provide for the transportation of goods, the latter are more suitable for tillage. Depending on the power of the unit, the adapters are connected to the walk-behind tractor by means of a long or short drawbar. The first modifications are used on heavy vehicles, the second ones are used on light vehicles.

How to install?

Consider the principle of installing an adapter with a steering wheel using the example of a model for a KtZ walk-behind tractor with a steering column. Docking the adapter with the walk-behind tractor begins with the installation of the trailer on the motor vehicle pin, which is located in its front part. The knot is secured with a cotter pin. After that, you need to rearrange the gas to the place under the seat, transferring it with your own cable. To do this, use a 10 key and a screwdriver, remove the throttle control lever, remove the upper plug under the seat, lay the cable. Change the bolt if necessary, because depending on the adapter model, it may turn out to be larger than necessary.

Then the bolts are tightened with a wrench of 10. When rearranging the gas, make sure that the cable does not interfere anywhere. The steering wheel is removed from the walk-behind tractor and the clutch cables and gearbox unlocking are unhooked. Next, remove the steering wheel using a stand for ease of use. After removing the steering wheel, remove the support, proceed to install the pedals. At this stage of work, they use a cable with an adapter plate, which is included in the adapter package.

The plate is installed on the wing of the walk-behind tractor and fixed with a bolt and nut. The lever, screwed to the cable, is put in place of the roller bracket. After that, they put the second cable, fix it and attach it to the installed bracket, fix it until the moment that allows the cable to walk.

Now you need to set forward travel to the right pedal. You do not need to take it off for this. Along the way, adjust the knots, checking the tension of the forward stroke... After that, the reverse is installed.

Recommendations for use

Regardless of the type of assembled and connected product, you need to start working with it taking into account the safety rules. Before starting the engine, you need to carry out a visual inspection of the equipment to exclude visible damage and malfunctions. Do not add fuel to the fuel tank while the engine is running.

If an abnormal noise is heard when turning on, you need to stop the engine and identify the cause of the problem.

Do not use gasoline of inappropriate brands or fuel mixed with oil and other impurities. Before each start, you need to check the oil level, since this is often the reason for the engine to stop.

In order to extend the service life of motor vehicles, a new product must be run-in. It will contribute to the trouble-free functioning of the walk-behind tractor.

In the process, the working surfaces of the parts are usually worked out. The running-in duration, as a rule, differs for products of different brands and modifications. In some varieties, it can be up to 20 hours or more. At this time, you should not load the equipment to the maximum extent.

One recommendation is to change the oil after the first five hours of operation. As for warming up the engine, this should be done at medium speed without load for about three minutes.

Based on the modification of the walk-behind tractor, the first hours of its operation need to operate the unit in first gear (with the middle position of the throttle lever). It is important to try to avoid not only the maximum, but also the minimum speed.... At the end of the use of the technique, you need to check the tightness of the threaded connections.

As for the cultivated soil, it is better to cultivate uncomplicated soil in the first hours. In addition, it must be taken into account that they do not run in on stony and clay soil.

Before work, you need to inspect the site and remove stones, as well as large debris. In general, when working with motor vehicles, you need to constantly monitor the maintenance of its cleanliness, check the strength of the fastening of the available adapter elements and the walk-behind tractor, including attachments.

We must not forget to tighten the weakening of the fasteners. You also need to remember about timely maintenance.

Maintenance and storage

As a rule, you need to check the oil level every time you turn it on, replace it at least every six months. Check the air filters before starting the unit directly. They clean it as it gets dirty or every three months. The sump is cleaned every six months. If it is necessary to replace consumables, they try to buy original parts or similar ones in terms of quality characteristics.

They will help extend the life of agricultural equipment and will not cause engine damage. As far as cleaning the air filter is concerned, this is necessary to keep the carburetor in working order.

Do not use a solvent with a low flash point for this, as this is flammable and can lead not only to fire, but also to an explosion. It is impossible to use equipment without an air filter, because this leads to accelerated engine wear.

Repairs are carried out in a well-ventilated area with the engine off. In this case, it is necessary to ensure a sufficient level of ventilation in the working area.Exhaust fumes are hazardous to human health and can be fatal if inhaled. You need to store motor vehicles in a dry ventilated area..

It is not recommended to leave it outside during the summer season, especially if the base of the operator's seat is made of wood rather than plastic. In order to prolong the quality and operational characteristics, when storing the unit outdoors, cover it with a tarpaulin cover.

If it is not planned to use agricultural machinery for more than three months, gasoline is poured out of the fuel tank, cleaned, and the position of the gas lever is checked. Disconnect the wheels if necessary.
