Minitractor crawler: a brief description and recommendations

The subsidiary farm is literally obligingmodern man to think about how to acquire specialized equipment, the use of which, in turn, will greatly simplify the implementation of tasks such as soil cultivation, planting various crops, ennobling the local or urban area and others. In this regard, it is worth paying close attention to the mini track tractor.

Positive quality machine

This compact version of the usual standardThe tractor provides an excellent opportunity for its user to significantly speed up the implementation of many planned operations and at the same time reduce labor costs. Minitractor on a caterpillar course is endowed with many positive qualities:

1. The widest range of activities: loosening, plowing, hilling, grass mowing, harvesting and sowing crops, clearing areas of snow, leaves and debris, etc.
2. Increased traction, which becomes possible due to the presence of a caterpillar system of its own displacement.
3. The smooth running of the machine is sufficient, which allows you to quickly overcome quite complex areas of the underlying surface.
4. Low pressure on the soil due to the fact that the caterpillars have a much larger surface contact with the ground than the wheels. In this regard, the land is not compressed, and this is very important at the time of plowing.
5. The minimum number of traces that remain on the soil after the machine is running.

disadvantages

But except for the listed advantages, the minitractor caterpillar has also such lacks:

1. Low speed of movement. Often, the car is unable to drive faster than 10 km / h, which in some cases is a serious obstacle to its use.
2. The named tractor consumes quite an impressive amount of fuel.
3. It makes a lot of noise during operation, which during the long operation of the machine can affect the hearing and the psyche of the driver.
4. It is not able to drive on roads and roads, as an ordinary vehicle.

Engine

As for any machine, the tractor engine isThe main node, which is paid the most attention. Some craftsmen decide to build a mini track tractor on their own, and therefore such people should definitely know that the engine here should be four-cylinder, have water cooling and power equal to 40 horsepower.

Chassis element

Rubber caterpillars - this is the version of the supportingpart of the tractor, which is now gaining more and more popularity. They are in no way inferior to the heavy steel caterpillars, which are used to the vast majority of drivers of this vehicle. The size of the caterpillars always corresponds to the dimensions of the tractor.

Economical option

Caterpillar minitractor "Uralets" is one of thethe most affordable units, which is also characterized by good economy. This machine is presented in three forms. And each of them differs unpretentiousness to the quality of consumed fuel and oil.

This tractor is produced at the enterprise,located in the Chelyabinsk region, and most of the components are also produced in Russia, which allows you to fully take into account the peculiarities of the local climate and bring the work of technology in full compliance with it. Therefore, starting the engine of the machine even in frost does not cause any difficulties. True, some elements of the tractor are manufactured in the People's Republic of China.

The main technical parameters of the Uralets-220 tractor are:

• 22-horsepower motor.
• The specific fuel consumption is 250 g / kW per hour.
• The capacity of the fuel tank is 8 liters.
• The speed of movement is 27.35 km / h.
• The ground clearance is 300 mm.
• The minimum turning radius is 3900 mm.
• The weight of the machine is 960 kg.
• Wheel formula - four-wheel drive.
• The frequency of the power take-off shaft is 540 rpm.

The only significant drawback of the tractorit can be considered that in some factory models it does not have a cabin, and therefore its operation during heavy precipitation or at too low ambient temperature is significantly complicated, and sometimes simply becomes impossible.

Rubber tracks of such a tractor provide him with the highest traction-coupling properties, which allows using it even on very soft types of soil.

Recommendations to the craftsmen

Today, many people seek to saveindependently to collect a mini tractor. Here it is necessary to say that with the availability of certain knowledge and skills, it is quite possible to assemble such a machine yourself. However, it is important to take into account that any self-made unit should be built up in strict accordance with the developed algorithm. Not the least role is played by spare parts, which very often in practice have to be adjusted to the mating parts. First of all, it is desirable to fix your planned actions on paper, and only after that to proceed to assembly.
