The principle of operation of all models of Zirka walk-behind tractors is the same. The only thing is that in order to ensure the stable operation of the unit and extend its service life, certain rules should be followed. After purchasing the device, you need to assemble the structure according to the instructions from the manufacturer. Then fuel and oil are poured. The first start of the engine (manually or using an electric starter) is carried out at idle speed, it must be warmed up for 30 minutes.

Despite the fact that Zirka walk-behind tractors are characterized by positive reviews and high performance, when buying a particular modification, you should pay attention to some indicators. The quality and volume of work performed will depend on this. Since these units are produced in a complete set with both a gasoline and a diesel engine, it is important to take into account that the first version of the model will be cheaper, and the second will provide maximum performance.

It is also worth knowing the size of the area that is planned to be processed by the walk-behind tractor before buying, thanks to this, a correctly selected model will maximize its performance. For example, for neglected areas and virgin lands, it is not recommended to purchase units with a gasoline engine, their weight is small, and considerable physical efforts will have to be made during tillage.

An important indicator is the purpose of the walk-behind tractor. Given the type of work that is planned to be performed on the site, you can buy both simple and professional models. If the owner of the unit, in addition to plowing, will also use it as a vehicle, then it is recommended to give preference to equipment weighing from 100 to 125 kg. This also applies to the installation of attachments, it will not work for simple models.

You should also pay attention to the compactness of the model, its speed of operation and ease of use. So, buying a walk-behind tractor with a motor power of 2.5 liters. with., it will only be possible to process an area 25 cm wide.Therefore, if the land plot is large, then work on it will require not only time expenditures, but also increase fuel consumption. Plays a huge role in the choice of the design of the gearbox. It is best to give preference to collapsible types, they are more expensive, but in case of failure, they are easier to repair.
