Motoblocks "Plowman (Lander)": types, characteristics and attachments

Motoblocks "Plowman" are produced in Smolensk near the small town of Gagarin. This unit is a multifunctional agricultural machinery that performs a variety of tasks, greatly simplifying the work of the farmer.

The creator of MKM-3 Lander motoblocks is the Mobil K manufacturing enterprise. The company was opened in 1996 as a manufacturer of mounted and trailed additional equipment for agricultural machinery, but a little later the field of activity has undergone some changes, and today "Mobile K" is widely known in our country as a manufacturer of one of the highest quality motoblocks.

Production facilities are located in the Smolensk region, while most of the parts and components are manufactured right there - the share of third-party parts is very small.

In 2008, the enterprise was re-equipped - the plant received equipment of real European quality at its disposal., and today we can safely say that all production processes have become almost completely automated, the share of the human factor is reduced to a minimum.

Motoblocks "Plowman" are designed for soil cultivation, as well as for digging and loosening the earth. The set of equipment includes the minimum required set of attachments and trailers, but most of the additional accessories have to be purchased additional.

Among the advantages of the walk-behind tractor, users highlight a number of points.

The machine works perfectly in all weather conditions, does not lose its technical and operational parameters either in a hot sultry summer or in a snowy frosty winter.

However, there is a slight limitation on the use of motor vehicles - it is better to buy equipment for working on large plots of land with an area of ​​more than 30 acres.

This unit is good for working in very small areas, whose area does not exceed 15 acres. From a technical point of view, the features of this walk-behind tractor are almost identical to the parameters of the MZR-800, but its weight is slightly more - 85 kg, and the grip width is 105 cm.

The main task of this walk-behind tractor is to simplify as much as possible work on a personal plot or garden.

This is a very popular model among gardeners. The device has three main speeds - 2 forward and reverse, the weight is 5-7 kg higher than all previous versions, and the size of the processed strip has been increased to 110 cm.

When using "Plowman" walk-behind tractors, it is very important to do the correct running-in. The walk-behind tractor should be loaded gradually, so that the transmission and the main parts of the engine can run in, it is strictly forbidden to overload the unit - in this case, its reliability may suffer greatly.

Running-in should begin with a thorough examination and check of all basic units of equipment. - the components must be effectively protected and absolutely serviceable. During the first start of the engine, it should work no more than 10 minutes, and at idle speed.

If you see that everything is in perfect order, then you can safely proceed directly to the processing of the site. At this point, only such work as plowing, hilling, as well as digging up potatoes and transporting goods is allowed. Thus, the mechanism should work for about 15 hours, while the power should be used no more than 2/3, it is very important to adjust the ignition control.

You can load the walk-behind tractor only after running in.

If the device was operated in conditions of high humidity and precipitation, after work dry all units and lubricate with oil.

For temporary storage, grease all rotating parts.
