When purchasing products, it is necessary not to forget the most key factors, since for the units that will be used on the farm, the weight criteria and the number of gears will have the greatest importance along with the power. It is also necessary that the walk-behind tractor has a large number of various additional equipment that will help to carry out soil cultivation - the more this equipment is, the more useful the new walk-behind tractor will be for working on the site.

Models of three types of units - ranging from fairly heavy and medium and ending with light ones - will have their pros and cons. For this reason, in direct dependence on what kind of soil will need to be processed, what are the dimensions of the site itself and what specific result you will need to get, you need to select the most suitable walk-behind tractor for this. It is better that it was created from the most reliable modern materials. Here you can opt for reliable walk-behind tractors from Germany or the Czech Republic. By the way, a Czech three-wheeled walk-behind tractor can be seen quite often on domestic farms.

It is necessary that at any time you can buy the necessary spare parts for the purchased walk-behind tractor - from consumables to full-fledged units. Motoblocks from Russia are preferable in this case. Of course, it is better to choose a unit with the possibility of serious modification. For an ordinary suburban area (up to 15 acres), a lightweight walk-behind tractor with a capacity of 3-4 horsepower and a weight of about 70 kg is perfect. These are "Husqvarna" and "Texas" motoblocks, as well as "Cayman" - they are very convenient to use due to the parameters and will not take up much extra space.

A walk-behind tractor for household chores will be needed almost every day. The "Plowman" unit, as well as "Neva" or "Salyut" - the best domestic models, will perfectly suit here. The heavy units will weigh approximately 150 kg and have 10 horsepower, although higher and lower horsepower models can be found. Such devices will be able to process any type of soil available, regardless of the severity and viscosity of the soil. These powerful units will include the Patriot and Foreman motor-blocks, Crossser and Viking.

These walk-behind tractors are most often used as freight transport, since using them, you can transport large loads without overloading the engine. They are perfect for further transformation into a mini-tractor - and this is due to the essential parameters of the body and convenient control, quick re-equipment under the steering wheel. A powerful type of engine will easily set in motion a special axle, without losing any percentage of productivity.
