Adapters for the Neva walk-behind tractor: characteristics and application features

Caring for farmland requires incredible physical effort, and therefore, you cannot do without auxiliary equipment. By means of motoblocks, absolutely all work in the agricultural direction can be significantly simplified, since the multifunctionality of motor vehicles is truly impressive. In addition to plowing, hilling, lawn maintenance, cargo transportation and winter work, the above unit is capable of playing the role of a vehicle. This becomes possible exclusively due to a specialized adapter for motor vehicles.

The walk-behind tractor can be practiced individually, and various auxiliary tools can be attached to it, such as a harrow, cultivator, mower. Such devices make it possible to seriously increase the possible range of tasks that the walk-behind tractor can handle. But besides this, it is possible to use motor vehicles as a vehicle, if you create a specialized adapter for it in advance.

This device allows you to sit comfortably enough on the seat.with which the adapter is equipped, and do exactly the same job, only with a much greater level of comfort.

Basically, the structure of the adapter is relatively primitive. It looks like a cart on which various elements are fixed:

• hitch for fixing the walk-behind tractor and adapter for attachments;
• driver's seat;
• wheels;
• frame for fastening primary components;
• wheel.

If you reconstruct a walk-behind tractor for a mini-tractor, you can further expand its functionality. Of course, identification with a mini-tractor is somewhat symbolic, since the power of the unit will remain the same, as will the resources of the unit used, or rather, its motor. You can build an awning from the scorching sun. With this kind of equipment, you will not be afraid of tedious agricultural work under the hot sun. You can improve the vehicle's cross-country ability in rainy or snowy weather by installing a track attachment.

The lion's share of adapters has a system that involves connecting a trailer, in which you can move loads. Additionally, it can be equipped with a lifting handle. There are 2 couplings: the Neva unit itself is fixed to one, and any attachments to the second. In addition, the design has a steering wheel, which optimizes its agility.

The axle mount of the unit is made of durable materials, since it must withstand considerable overloads, because you, too, will ride the unit and additionally transport rather large loads. The unit can be used in almost all conditions, including the most difficult ones.

In specialized stores, you can buy an auxiliary unit with a steering wheel for the Neva walk-behind tractor, or you can make it yourself. Moreover, there are plenty of drawings on the World Wide Web, which greatly facilitates the assembly procedure.

It should be noted that in total there are 3 types of adapters: standard, with steering and front. Let's take a look at the features of each type of construction.

These modifications include the basic frame structure on which the required components are based, the driver's seat, wheelbase, axles, and the unit's clutch with adapter. Roughly speaking, the indicated design can not hesitate to call it an ordinary cart with a comfortable seat adjacent to the walk-behind tractor.

In addition, the possibility of additional aggregation with all kinds of mounted-type equipment is not excluded, which will increase the practicality of the mechanism. Nowadays, you can purchase an adapter or create it on your own with special departments for placing compact additional items.

Today they are in great demand due to their convenience and relatively reasonable price. The motor is mounted to the tractor via a hitch located in the front area of ​​the adapter. From the rear of this add-on with steering there is a separate lifting device, to which it will not be surprising to attach a wide variety of attachments.

This device is very similar to the one described above, however, the hitch is located at the rear. The structure is so simple that it can be easily disassembled and transported without much effort. Often specialized wheels are mounted on the front adapter to increase productivity.

Several types of adapters are in great demand.

• Sample "AM-2" to perform all kinds of agricultural work in summer cottages. The presence of a specialized frame and a device for hanging tools makes it possible to realize a comfortable and easy use. A convenient swivel mechanism allows you to freely carry motor vehicles around the site. The dimensions of the adapter are 160x75x127 centimeters with a weight of 55 kilograms and a working speed of no more than 3 km / h.

• Sample "APM-350-1" It can be used as a seat for traveling short distances or for auxiliary attachments: a plow, 2 hillers, a potato planter and a potato digger. The connection is made by a frame with 2 SU-4 locks. The series is equipped with a pedal for the attachment and a changeover lever. The adapter parameters are equal to 160x70 centimeters at a working speed in the range of 2-5 km / h.
• Front adapter "KTZ-03" highlighted by the hitch located behind. The rear fixing option is quite comfortable. This device is completely collapsible, which makes it possible to seriously facilitate subsequent transportation.

The standard equipment is presented as a steel frame. Before starting to create it, a drawing of a device for a walk-behind tractor is being prepared. The device is made from a profile pipe with a size of 1.7 meters. A pipe (50 centimeters in size) is cooked to one part of the material at a right angle. The last component is the attachment wheel strut lock. The height of the racks is 30 centimeters. For the handicraft adapter for motor vehicles, wheels from a construction and garden cart are used. They are installed on bushings with a bearing assembly.

Braces are welded to the base pipe and bushings, the length of which is directly dependent on the degree of their slope relative to the structure. The dimensions of the adapter frame are 0.4x0.4 meters. To adapt the equipment to the frame, a channel is cooked (size - 0.4 meters). The side pipes are bolted together. A handle with 3 knees is cooked to the frame (sizes - 20, 30 and 50 centimeters). To multiply the applied forces, the product is equipped with the same handle (75 centimeters long).

The hitch can be found in the store. If this mechanism is performed independently, in this case, close attention is paid to strength. The seat is mounted on a metal base welded to the main tube. The equipment made is ready to use.

To create a universal adapter, will be required:

• corners;
• pipes;
• sheet iron;
• 2 wheels;
• seat;
• unit for welding.

The described mechanism is practiced for the implementation of basic agricultural work and cargo transportation. The manufactured device can be equipped with a grubber, a harrow, a plow. The universal adapter includes frame, hitch, wheels and seat.

To achieve the stability of the structure and prevent overloads, a graphic display of the working units and blocks of the adaptation mechanism is initially developed. When creating a design, the fork and hub must be given special attention. This device provides unhindered rotation of the cart. The frame is welded from corners and an iron pipe. The body can be built from a sheet of iron. Along with this, the sides should be higher than 30 centimeters in height.

The hitch is presented in the form of a rod (15 centimeters in size) installed in the hole in the trailer hitch. The disadvantage of such a system is quick breakdown. In order to reduce wear, it is advisable to increase the coupling. The next step is to install the seat. The frame is spaced 80 cm from the front end. Then the seat is fixed with bolts. The next step is to test the functionality of the manufactured device.

Before you start making an adapter for motor vehicles yourself, it is advisable:

• find out the principle of action;
• decide on the type of device.

The adapters differ in the control method:

• the hitch and attachments are controlled by handles;
• steering gear.

In the second case, the equipment is adjusted with a knob. The steering wheel is used to carry out any task.

The industrial adapter can be upgraded for continuous work.

It is advisable to make the seats soft (to reduce the load on the spinal column).

When creating a device yourself, pay close attention to:

• the thickness of the iron;
• welded seams;
• the dimensions of the wheels and the possibility of their speed of change.

Professionals recommend completing the handicraft adapter with tires and large-radius cameras. The selection of the adapter is carried out depending on the model of the walk-behind tractor. Multipurpose attachments are suitable for any mini-equipment. Other mechanisms are performed taking into account the function of adjusting the distance to the steering wheel and the distance between the wheels of each axle.
