All about the Kama walk-behind tractors

Recently, the use of walk-behind tractors has become widespread. There are models of both foreign and domestic manufacturers on the Russian market. You can find aggregates and co-production.

A striking representative of such agricultural machinery is the "Kama" brand walk-behind tractors. Their production is the common work of Chinese and Russian workers. In a relatively short period of time, this brand has collected an outstanding number of positive user reviews. Private farms with small land holdings can be easily and quickly serviced using this technique.

Motoblocks "Kama" are produced in Russia, at the "Soyuzmash" plant, but all parts are manufactured in China. This approach made it possible to significantly reduce the cost of this technique, which had a beneficial effect on demand.

The first thing you need to know about is the existence of two lines of these motoblocks. They differ in the type of fuel. There is a series of devices with a gasoline engine, and there is also a diesel one..

Each type includes several types of motoblocks, which differ in power and dimensions. But all modifications can be attributed to units of average weight. At the same time, horsepower varies within 6-9 units in both lines.

There are three diesel-type models:

• KTD 610C;
• KTD 910C;
• KTD 910CE.

Their capacity is 5.5 liters. s., 6 p. with. and 8.98 liters. with. respectively. This equipment pleases its consumers with high functionality, a large number of attachments and reliability.

This series has four varieties. They differ in power and weight, just like diesel ones.

Models of gasoline motoblocks "Kama":

• MB-75;
• MB-80;
• MB-105;
• MB-135.

The undoubted advantage of the whole range is the low fuel consumption characteristic of gasoline engines. At the same time, you can be absolutely sure that this unit will be used both in summer and winter. The fuel will not freeze in it, and it will start even with a significant minus... This indicator is very important for most of the country.

The advantage of such engines is their low noise level compared to a diesel engine. Perfectly assembled gasoline motoblocks of the "Kama" brand do not have the strong vibration usual for agricultural machinery. It is much easier to work on such equipment for a long time..

Besides, prices for spare parts for gasoline engines are often an order of magnitude lowerthan for a diesel engine. Therefore, repairs are cheaper.

But there are also disadvantages to the modification. Fortunately, there are not many of them. The main disadvantage is gasoline, which is not cheap. Therefore, models with such engines are not purchased in the presence of areas with a large territory.

Most of the disadvantages are insignificant for small farms, in which such units have been successfully operating for more than one year.

The motoblock is an average power unit of 7 liters. with. This unit is easy to use as it weighs only 75 kg. The standard four-stroke engine is securely mounted on a rigid frame.It is cooled by air. The car is equipped with a mechanical three-speed gearbox, which has forward and reverse travel, as well as a low gear.

Start-up before execution is carried out using a manual starter, which is a characteristic feature of all models.

For the convenience of controlling attachments, the walk-behind tractor has a power take-off shaft... When milling the soil, the working width is 95 cm and the depth reaches 30 cm.

This model in this series is also distinguished by its low weight - 75 kg. This unit is equipped with a manual recoil starter. The gasoline 7-horsepower 4-stroke engine has a volume of 196 cc. The package of this unit includes two main types of attachments: cutters and pneumatic wheels.

The next walk-behind tractor is heavier and allows you to perform a wide range of works. The weight of this structure is 107 kg. The reliable engine from the famous Chinese company Lifan in the 170L modification has a capacity of 7 liters. with. Standard three-stage mechanics allow you to work at the required speed.

As in the previous case, the package includes earth mills and wheels... But the working width of milling is already larger here - 120 cm, and the depth - 37 cm.

The most powerful unit of this series. Its mass is the largest of the gasoline motoblocks of this manufacturer. She is 120 kg. This walk-behind tractor boasts its capacity, which ranges from 9 liters. with. up to 13 liters. with. A striking advantage is the presence of a strong cast iron housing on the gear shaft. When using a milling cutter, its working reach is 105 cm, and the soil loosening depth reaches 39 cm. In addition, this unit, like the previous ones, has an adjustable steering control.

The advantages and ease of use include not only the advantages of the walk-behind tractors themselves, but also a variety of additional equipment.

There are many agricultural implements for the mechanization of labor. This approach allows you to shorten your work time and increase efficiency. Motoblocks "Kama" are equipped with the necessary fasteners and a power take-off shaft, which drives the attachments into operation.

There is a whole list of this equipment:

• soil cutter;
• trailer trolley;
• adapter;
• plow;

• mower;
• tracked drive;
• pneumatic wheels;
• ground protection wheels;
• snow blower;
• shovel blade;
• brush;

• coupling mechanism;
• weighting materials;
• potato planter;
• potato digger;
• hiller;
• harrow.

As many as 17 types of mounted implements are available to owners of Kama walk-behind tractors. Each type is designed to do a specific job.

The soil cutter can be used to cultivate different types of soil in terms of density. The set also includes saber knives. If necessary, you can select cutters in the form of "crow's feet" for the development of areas of virgin land.

The plow is also necessary for soil cultivation, but it can also serve as an assistant in planting potatoes.... Compared to a cutter, it performs deeper excavation work with complete overturning of soil layers. Such devices are single-body, double-body and reversible.

Of course, when it comes to raising the land, one cannot fail to note such useful tools as a potato planter and digger. These devices have similar properties, as they allow you to completely mechanize the process of planting and harvesting potatoes. The planter consists of a hopper, a system of spoons, a furrower and hillers. This the system independently lays out the tubers at a given distance from each other in the furrow made by it and buries the planting with hillers.

The digger works a little differently. This tool most often looks like a plow with spokes at the end. The collection of potatoes is also done mechanically. This tool can be simple, vibrating and eccentric.

Next, we need to mention about the hiller, which has several modifications. The disk type of the device is very popular with farmers and summer residents.... With its help, the soil is not only collected in the furrow, but also loosened, which contributes to the growth of crops.

The final stage of work with the ground is carried out with the help of a harrow. This device is intended for leveling the soil surface, collecting weeds and plant residues in preparation for winter.

As for the processing of grassy areas, a mower can easily cope with this task.

They are of several types:

• segment;
• frontal;
• rotary.

Such a device perfectly harvests animal feed, easily forms a beautiful lawn of the desired height. In order to choose the type of device correctly, you need to remember the level of the relief of the site.

Its components in the assembly include a two-wheel base and a seat for the operator for working with walk-behind tractors. It should be noted that this device has additional attachments that make it possible to use it together with other attachments.

Most often, a cart is attached to the adapter, in which you can conveniently and quickly transport the crop from the fields to the cellar or prepare animal feed. The Kama trailer has folding sides and the ability to unload a dump truck. It can also have one or two seats.

Since the walk-behind tractor often processes different types of soil, its wheels also have different modifications to simplify and speed up the movement on loam when lifting large layers of hard soil. These varieties can be both lug tires and pneumatic wheels.

The former are necessary for better cross-country ability when performing traction operations with a plow or milling cutters, and the latter are necessary for increasing speed when driving with additional loads. There is also a third type - undercarriage. It is called a crawler attachment and is helpful when traversing sticky areas, peat bogs or snow drifts.

In winter, the walk-behind tractor most often performs the function of a snow blower. For such operations, it can be equipped with special attachments:

• snow plow;
• brush;
• snow bucket.
