When working with such a device, it is necessary to observe safety precautions, wear protective devices, and also do not use a faulty cutter. There is also a more advanced version of the rotary tiller, which has a high performance. It is called an active rotary tiller, but its cost is quite high, and therefore not everyone buys it.

It is also a type of attachment, which is a place for transporting cargo, at the same time an operator can be located there. Currently, there are two categories of adapters: one is a regular chair that does not have a body, and the second adapter has a seat mounted on the body, so it can be used to transport bulky cargo, not just to accommodate a person. Some manufacturers make trailer adapters that have hydraulics, with the help of which it is possible to raise the body to free it from bulk materials, such as grain or sand.

• if it is necessary to process large areas, then after 4–5 hours of operation, let the device cool down and rest.

Semi-synthetic oils of the TAD 17I or MC20 brand in a volume of 2 liters are poured into the box of the heavy "Scout". The engine is filled with SAE10W fluid. It is necessary to change the oil in these units every 50–100 hours of operation.

It is necessary to start the walk-behind tractor after its complete assembly. The break-in time is up to 25 hours, and after it you can use the machine at full power and with maximum load.

• Diesel unit will not start. It is necessary to warm up the fuel if it is winter, or clean the injectors. Fuel adjustment may also be required.
• Loose traction. Piston wear. Rings need to be replaced.
• Extraneous noise in the motor. Worn piston or poor fuel. It is necessary to replace worn out parts or replace fuel.
• Leakage of oil. O-rings damaged. You need to change them.

The advantages of "Scout" walk-behind tractors include functionality, reliability and affordability. Thanks to these qualities, this device is quite common in domestic conditions. A large assortment of different models of walk-behind tractors allows them to be used to perform certain works, depending on their power. With the help of attachments, you can automate any processes when processing plots or cleaning territories.

In order to avoid problems with the operation of the walk-behind tractor in the future, it is recommended to carefully study its characteristics before buying, inspect the equipment, and demand quality certificates from sellers. It is also important to regularly service the unit during its operation, to fill in high-quality fuel and lubricant. When performing such simple activities, it will be possible to use the "Scout" walk-behind tractor for a long time.

Also, experts give advice: if the equipment will be used constantly in harsh regions where severe frosts are observed, it is recommended to give preference to units with a gasoline engine, which will allow them to operate even at subzero temperatures and start the engine without any problems without preliminary warming up. Based on the above points, we can conclude that "Scout" walk-behind tractors are the best option for use in modern conditions and on large areas.
