The most popular cultivators of the KPS-4 type were developed for the first Soviet tractors with a hydraulic system. However, they are still widely used, especially in small-scale production. Three MTZ-80/82+KPS-4 units are annually used at the base enterprise CJSC Progress in the Cheboksary district of the Chuvash Republic both in spring field work and in preparing the soil for winter crops. So, only in the autumn of 2012 they cultivated 850 hectares for winter crops. In the opinion of the director of CJSC V.I. Yakovlev, these cultivators are not yet worthy replacement with specific weather conditions Volga region. However, interruptions in the supply or supply of low-quality spare parts (universal lancet shares, racks) forced the repairmen of agricultural machinery to look for ways to restore the most worn out units.
Measurements taken on 30 pcs. used universal lancet shares (USL) with a width of 330 and 270 mm from two KPS-4 steam cultivators showed that their rejection was carried out according to the wear of the toe of the CD share, where back side the layer deposited with hard-alloy material was completely developed (Fig. 11.3, a). Further operation of the said LCLs is not expedient due to the intensive wear of the toe and blunting, which ultimately leads to an increase in traction resistance and excessive fuel consumption. At the same time, the radius of curvature of the worn toe of the USL is within 39....46 mm. Ho on the wings of the USL from the back side, a strip of deposited hard-alloy material with a width of k1 ~ k2 = 9.7 .... 12.3 mm has been preserved, and the thickness of the wing is 3.2 ... 4.3 mm. The measurements were taken in the middle of the wing. Calculations for the residual strength showed that the wings of the rejected paws will fully withstand the load that occurs on the blade when processing even clogged clean fallows, as well as when it is accelerated and deepened on medium soils.
The most technologically advanced option for restoring the toes of the indicated USL is welding a trapezoid-shaped lining on the toe (Figure 11.1 and 11.2), already deposited with hard-alloy material from the back side. This form of lining is similar to the tip of a chisel-shaped loosening share. A discarded skimmer share (Н 07420010, P.701, etc.) can be used as the starting material of the lining, in which the toe HO of the HJ line is also subjected to the most intensive wear (Fig. 11.3). The radius of curvature HJ at the moment of rejection of the plowshare was 30...33 mm, and at the same time, carbide surfacing with a width of k3 = 10.5...13.5 mm remained on the rest of the blade, the average thickness of the attachment plane of the plowshare to the rack was 6.5 mm (Fig. 11.3).
The following recovery technology has been developed. The worn toe of the paw is aligned along the perpendicular line mn to the axis of symmetry USL. At the same time, its width CD should be no more than 40 ... 45 mm (Fig. 11.3, a). With a cutting wheel, trapezoidal blanks are cut from the discarded plowshare of the skimmer (Fig. 11.4). Since the skimmer share in cross section has a radius of curvature p, then the workpiece is straightened along the line st. Then, for a reliable welded joint, a chamfer is removed from the back of the workpiece between the magazine and the attachment plane of the plowshare to the rack (Fig. 11.4), and the plowshare magazine thus serves as a stop (shoulders) for the lining. From one plowshare of the skimmer you can get 4-5 pieces. overlays.
It is better to carry out welding of an overlay on USL complete with a rack. The overlay and conditional connected together are fixed on a vice or with the help of a clamp, are seized by electric welding from the front side at three points and from the back side along the CD line. After checking for the coincidence of the axes of symmetry of the lining, conditional and rack, the absence of distortions, welding is performed from the front side along the open contour CGFD overlap and from the back side of the HO line CD butt butt to the shoulders. Thus, on the whole, a closed contour of welding of the overlay on the USL is obtained, which ensures sufficient strength. When welding, the mounting holes of the skimmer share are closed.
During welding, as a result of thermal stresses, the parts to be welded bend inwards. Welding of the overlay along the CGFD contour bends the wings of the USL upward by 10...15 mm, significantly violating the geometric parameters of the entire working body. Therefore, immediately after welding, the wings are straightened according to a pre-prepared fixture. On a horizontal platform, a new paw (for example, N-043.052.008-B 330 mm wide) with a CO rack (for example, N-043.11.407) is installed in a position where the straight part of the rack is closely leaning against the vertical wall, and the blades of the roofs are closely adjacent to a horizontal platform (Fig. 11.3). In this position, the lines of blades on a horizontal platform are indicated. Since, after restoration, the cutting tip of the lining will partially protrude downwards, it is necessary to make a small indentation up to 8 ... 10 mm in place of the UKK toe. In this case, the height of the working body H can be within 425 ... 460 mm, reach L = 260 mm, radius R = 230 mm, crumbling angle α = 16 ° (Fig. 11.3).
When installing the restored USL and the stand on the device, the toe of the paw will touch the horizontal platform, and the wings of the paw will be bent upwards. Straightening consists in fitting the wing blades along the drawn lines of the template on a horizontal platform. It is more rational to perform the operation together: the welder welds the overlay, and the locksmith immediately additionally heats the toe with a propane cutter and straightens it. Then the USL is cooled in the open air in order to normalize the structure of the metal. Straightened in this way, the USL does not require additional adjustment when installed on a cultivator.
Linings for USL can be cut from the plowshares of the PRVN-53 device for the PRVN-2.5 vineyard plow. Since these devices were intended for renovating the plantation of vineyards, hop mills and were rarely used in practice, the plowshares were still preserved in the warehouses of agricultural enterprises. The PRVN share width is 85 mm (length A, Fig. 11.3). However, in this case, the pad will not have shoulders on the back.
The USL restored in this way worked out in preparing the soil for sowing in the spring field work of 2013. The average processing depth is 10...12 cm. Agrofon - autumn moldboard plowing to a depth of 22...24 cm and autumn processing stubble cultivators to a depth of 15...16 cm. Bends of the lining and the paw as a whole back, separation of the lining from the paw and the paw from the rack were not found. The wear of the welding seam on the front side of the paw is minimal. The clogging of the repaired USLs is not newer, no differences were observed. The restoration method is also applicable for the restoration of the paws of tilled cultivators KOH-2.8, KOR-4.2, KRN-4.2 and their modern analogues.
The cost of restoring the USL in the prices of 2012 amounted to 20 ... 23 rubles / piece. According to the work experience in 2013, the resource of the restored paw is about 1/2...1/3 of the resource of the new one. The developed technology for the restoration of the USL is of interest to private households and farms that do not have large areas of cultivation and opportunities for the purchase of new modern cultivators.
The service life of the KPS-4G cultivator tines when cultivating loamy and medium loamy soil in the conditions of the Middle Volga region is 2..3 years. The main material of the racks is MST.5 and MST.6 steel, which is less wear-resistant to soil abrasive particles than the material of the universal lancet share - steel 65G or 70G. The shaded zone BC is subjected to the greatest wear (Fig. 11.5, a), and when worn to a depth of 8 ... 11 mm, the rack bends back.
In order to restore the worn-out BC zone, the following method was proposed and implemented in the PMM of CJSC Progress, Cheboksary region of the Chechen Republic. The worn area was preliminarily filled with electric welding, approximately maintaining a radius of curvature of 230 mm. On an emery machine, the deposited surface of the aircraft was leveled and cleaned with a pneumatic grinder. The rack was then examined for cracks and pits. The detected defects were eliminated by re-welding methods, and the surface was re-cleaned.
Further, using a Sormaita-1 rod with a diameter of 5 ... 6 mm as a filler wire, using an electric welding machine direct current surface BC is hardened. The polarity of the device connection is according to the electrodes used, however, according to welders, with reverse polarity, the arc is more stable and a better deposited layer is formed. The current strength for surfacing with electrodes with a diameter of 04.0 mm is 220 ... 240 A, for electrodes with 05.0 mm - 230 ... 260 A. When the deposited rack is cooled in an open environment, additional heat treatment not required. When surfacing the tine, the radius of curvature of the tine decreases due to the tightening of the seam, however, the adjustment limits on cultivators make it possible to adjust the share according to the operating instructions.
As long-term experience of such restoration and hardening shows, repaired racks have a resource 1.6 ... 1.8 times greater than new ones. The resource of a new deposited stand increases more than 2 times.
Since manufacturers of cultivators do not surfacing the rack with hard alloy, it is rational to surfacing new ones as well. In order to remove paint and preservative grease, a new tine with a lance share is installed on the cultivator. In 2...3 shifts, the BC surface is completely cleaned, the rack with the share is removed from the cultivator, and welding is carried out without dismantling the share. The resource of a new rack increases about 2 times, and as the hard-alloy layer wears out, its resurfacing is not excluded.
The practical value of the proposal is in a significant increase in the service life of the cultivator tines, and the method is in application for electric welding surfacing.
Chisel-shaped loosening paws (Fig. 11.5, b) are not always used in practice. However, it is possible to use them as a cultivator stand. To do this, the area of the mounting holes for fastening the lancet paw is reinforced with steel plates 5 ... 6 mm thick on both sides. After welding work, the rack is cooled outdoors. Then, according to Fig. 11.5.6 are marked and holes are drilled with a 011 mm drill.
The radius of curvature of the chisel is 250 mm, and the lancet legs are 230 mm. The difference of 20 mm is practically not reflected in the technological characteristics of the working body, since the adjustment of the rack attachment to the ridge allows you to eliminate minor performance errors.
The material for the chisel paw is steel 65G or 70G. However, hardening of the wear zone of the newly manufactured strut in the manner described above is necessary.
A manual cultivator is a tool for gardening work related to the cultivation and loosening of the soil. We will talk about several design options for this tool, starting with the simplest manual option and ending with the option with an electric motor.
We make a manual cultivator with our own hands
The simplest option is the Tornado cultivator
The simplest in its design, the Tornado cultivator is a bit like a corkscrew on a vertical handle ending in a horizontal handle.
"Tornado" - manual cultivator for light soil cultivation
It is done independently simply, from ordinary pitchforks. Beforehand, buy a plastic nozzle for the handle of a shovel in the form of a handle at the hardware store - they are used on both forks and shovels for ease of work. Since the handle of the original Tornado is a long horizontal tube, our handle also needs to be finalized.
To do this, we use a piece of plastic pipe about half a meter long and with a diameter slightly larger than the thickness of the nozzle we bought for a plastic shovel. We carefully cut the pipe lengthwise, then turn the edges of the cut to the sides and put it on the acquired nozzle. It is advisable to attach the pipe to the handle of the nozzle so that it does not fidget during operation and does not move from its original position. As a result, our horizontal cultivator arm will protrude approximately 25 cm in both directions.
Making a handle for a manual cultivator Tornado
Now you can do the most interesting and bend the teeth of the fork in the shape of a corkscrew. To do this, we will use an ordinary hammer, from the blows of which the metal teeth will bend in any direction. At the same time, it is necessary to compare the result with a photograph of the original model of such a cultivator and carefully repeat all the bends of the teeth present on it.
Variant of a cultivator from bicycle parts
Another manual cultivator brought to your attention has a more complex device and one can even say that it is partly mechanized. To make it, we need a frame and a wheel from any old bicycle.
Manual cultivator from bicycle parts
We attach a cultivator head to the bicycle frame, which can be a finished head from any cultivator or a self-made structure made of pointed steel bars. If available as a cultivator head, a small plow can be used.
A convenient handle for reliable control of the cultivator is made from segments steel pipes or aluminium. For the crossbar, take a small piece of pipe with a diameter of 2-2.5 cm. All parts of the cultivator are assembled together with bolts, the nuts on which are tightened as much as possible so that the whole structure is rigid.
Structural diagram of a manual cultivator from bicycle parts
A medium-diameter wheel is bolted to the frame with special wing nuts or regular lock nuts.
With this homemade cultivator, weeds can be easily destroyed by weeding the space between the rows of plants.
How to make a manual cultivator
The main part of this model of a homemade cultivator is five steel pancake disks that are put on the axle and can be rotated on it. Three out of five discs contain sharp L-shaped teeth, which are working bodies for loosening the soil. Pins with bearings are installed at the ends of the axle, to which steel brackets are attached, connected on a wooden handle.
Scheme of a toothed plower:
- 1 - pancake discs,
- 2 - L-shaped teeth,
- 3 - axis, 4 - trunnion,
- 5 - steel bracket,
- 6 - handle
Pancake discs and axle are either machined independently. or an order is placed for their production on lathe. In the outer surfaces and in the side faces of the three discs, five holes are drilled to fix the teeth from a steel bar with a diameter of 10 mm.
Discs with teeth are put on the axle, then we install pins with bearings and washers.
Rolling along the soil, the cultivator discs pierce the ground with their teeth and loosen its top layer. Sharp teeth cut weed roots, crush the soil and promote its aeration.
Disc rotary cultivator
With a homemade rotary cultivator, you can harrow, break up large pieces of earth and level the surface of the site. The scheme of this model is shown below in the figure and is called a disc cultivator.
Homemade disc cultivator:
- 1- disk,
- 2 - axis.
- 3 - bushing,
- 4 - large bracket,
- 5 - small bracket,
- 6 - stock,
- 7 - pipe,
- 8 - handle
The working body of the disc cultivator is hemispherical convex discs welded to the bushings. Two hemispherical disks are put on two axles, the ends of which are fixed in brackets with cotter pins.
Pipe 7 with a crossbar, into which handles 8 are screwed, passes through a special ledge welded to a large bracket 4. The end of a rod 250 mm long and 24x2 mm in diameter with a blind threaded hole is welded to the small bracket 5, into which a rod with a diameter of 16 mm is screwed, the upper end of which ( with lamb) protrudes above the crossbar.
Steel discs 1 should have a hemispherical shape, and it is not easy to make them with this shape from ordinary 4mm thick steel plates. You need to hit hard with a hammer, “knock out” the bowls from the blanks.
The lambs at the end of the rod allow you to adjust the angular position of the hemispherical discs. When the lambs are rotated clockwise, the rod and rod move upward, lifting up the small bracket and the inner ends of the axles, as a result of which the angular position of the disks will change.
Manual cultivator video compilation
There are many more ways to make cultivators for loosening the earth with your own hands, for example, the designs of home-made cultivators from a chainsaw are known.
All you need is the ability to understand a little about the details of machines and electrical engineering, as well as a little imagination. Here interesting video, which shows how to make an electric cultivator with your own hands from a bicycle frame, chain and sprocket, as well as a washing machine engine.

Homemade rake for walk-behind tractor
If you wish, you can easily make homemade rakes for a walk-behind tractor. For hay rakes with a wide hay rake, you can use conventional water pipes that differ in their diameters. You will need to put a special sleeve on the round rod, and then tap its surface, turning it slightly.
When making, a round rod is best suited. Most parts of the rake are fastened by electric welding, since this method is simple, and at the same time a reliable design is obtained.
Greater simplicity of design can be achieved if the rotary parts on the axles are fixed without rolling bearings.
It is better to make a hay rake to a walk-behind tractor folding, as this will simplify their transportation.
How to make a homemade blade for a walk-behind tractor
The walk-behind tractor can serve as a bulldozer for leveling the ground, cleaning sidewalks or roads from dirt and snow. For this it needs to be done homemade dump on a walk-behind tractor, as a rule, sheet metal 1-2 mm thick is used. Inside the blade, four steel ribs (stiffness) are welded from a sheet 3-4 mm thick.
In them, holes are drilled in place for fastening the blade with the rods in a strictly vertical position with respect to the front of the walk-behind tractor. It is also better to sheathe the bottom of the blade with tin so that it does not burrow into the ground.
- 1 - blade sheet (tin);
- 2 - rack 4pcs (stiffening ribs);
- 3 - bottom sheet of the blade (tin);
- 4 - knife; 5 - eye for fastening the thrust.
Convenient home-made seeder to the walk-behind tractor
Conventionally, seeders for walk-behind tractors are subdivided according to the number of simultaneously sown rows - from 1 to 5, vegetable seeders and precision seeders are also distinguished.
Vegetable seeders are used for dotted sowing of vegetables: carrots, onions, beets. The device for feeding seeds is driven from the support-drive wheels of the sections. In addition, the rotational speed of the device is regulated by interchangeable sprockets.
Planters vegetable exact seeding have a brush sowing device. In such a device, a rotating brush stirs up a layer of seeds in the hopper so that they spill out into a hole located in it. back wall. The hole is closed with a rotary disk having holes of different diameters. By turning the disc, you can change the size of the holes and thus change the seeding rate.
A home-made seeder to a walk-behind tractor is usually connected to a walk-behind tractor using a universal hitch, thanks to which it is possible to complete a walk-behind tractor with two-row and four-row seeders.
Homemade shovel for walk-behind tractor
The walk-behind tractor often acts as a bulldozer, leveling the ground, as well as clearing sidewalks or roads from snow dirt. For it is equipped with a shovel blade.
A home-made shovel for a walk-behind tractor is made without any difficulties if you have a “grinder”, a drill and a welding machine on your farm.
You won’t have to look for a suitable metal for a long time, since an ordinary two hundred liter steel barrel is suitable for making a blade-shovel. Carefully cutting it into three parts, you will get three curved segments for a shovel. Having welded two of them along the contour, you will get a shovel-dump with a metal thickness of 3 mm, which is quite enough for the required rigidity of the shovel-dump.
We make a homemade disk hiller for a walk-behind tractor
Homemade disk hiller for a walk-behind tractor, we begin to manufacture with a search for lids from steel pans that are unnecessary in the household (preferably not enameled, but simply metal). The required diameter is approximately 40-50 cm, taking into account the fact that the depth of germination of potato roots into the ground is not more than 15-20 cm. Next, we sharpen the blades of the covers, and in our case they are already hiller disks, on grinding machine. If the covers are flat, then they are slightly bent to one side with a hammer.
Further, in order to make a convenient hiller, you need to make a trolley, to which disks that shift the soil will be attached. This can be a construction of pipes and bushings, we attach small support wheels to its lower frame.
After that, you can proceed to testing such a hiller right on the potato plot of the garden.
How to make a homemade plow for a walk-behind tractor
Is it necessary to make a plow for a walk-behind tractor if there are no special metalworking skills? Yes, it's worth it. The design of this agricultural implement is quite simple and therefore it is right to do homemade plow to the motoblock is within the power of everyone.
Before proceeding with the implementation of your plan, you need to look at the previous posts on our site, where we described the manufacturing process in detail with drawings.
Professional tools are best suited for work, they will allow you to perform all the technological operations with your own hands at the required level and at the same time retain their quality. An amateur tool for such work is unsuitable because its level of strength is insufficient to perform some of the operations.
Homemade cutter crow's feet, for walk-behind tractor
This is an all-welded non-separable steel cutter, which gives it much greater strength than conventional cultivator cutters. A homemade crow's foot cutter for a walk-behind tractor shows great efficiency and is successfully used when plowing hard soil. It can be aggregated with almost any walk-behind tractor or motor-cultivator with a suitable axle diameter.
It is very good to use the “crow's feet” cutter when plowing the land for planting potatoes, especially if the soil is hard with large clods of earth, or when, for the prevention of the Colorado potato beetle, wireworm and other garden pests, you need to quickly plow the garden “in winter”.
Crow's feet are usually sold unsharpened, and many gardeners who have already tried these cutters are advised to sharpen them for easier and faster plowing.
Below are drawings of a homemade crow's feet2 cutter with a diameter of 520 mm, a grip of 1250 mm, total rays 30 pcs. 3 pcs. per section. The beam is bolted to the coils.
When plowing the soil with such a cutter, it loosens and rises to a depth of 40 to 100 mm on average, depending on humidity.

Homemade mower for motoblock (rotary, segmental)The technical support in the economy of a modern farmer certainly includes means for cultivating the land. For this purpose, cultivators and walk-behind tractors are used, which, depending on the model, can perform the tasks of loosening, leveling, cutting weeds and other operations. Since the device of the working body is technically elementary, for a skillful home master it will not be difficult to make such a device with your own hands. As a rule, they are not inferior in efficiency to factory counterparts, but it is important to calculate how to install them on a walk-behind tractor or tractor. However, manual models are also common today, the operation of which does not require connection to other equipment.
General information about cultivators
The concept of "cultivators" for many is associated with mini tractors and walk-behind tractors that perform the functions of tillage. However, if you delve deeper into the terminology, it turns out that the cultivator is only part technical means directly involved in processing. Depending on the design, home-made cultivators can carry out several work operations. They can be universal both in processing and in the possibility of combination with additional equipment. Before proceeding with the manufacture of such a tool, one should evaluate the nature of the work and the need to connect it to a tractor or other equipment.
DIY manual cultivator
The simplest option for making a cultivator at home. This is a small design, the capabilities of which are enough to capture a strip 20 cm wide. The basis of the device will be a handle in the form metal pipe with a diameter of 2.4 cm. The length of the element is selected specifically for the height of the user. On the bottom of the pipe it is necessary to install a solid axle made of wood. Processing organs will be attached to it. Despite the simplicity of design, homemade manual cultivators can be fitted with wheels. They can be cut from sheet metal 0.3 cm thick and fix with nuts.
There is another design option, assuming a base in the form of a springy metal tape. In this case, the parameters of the workpiece should be as follows: length - 5 cm, width - 2 cm, and thickness - approximately 2 mm. A wooden handle is attached to this part, through which processing will be carried out. The tape is folded, so it can be shaped like a loop, and then double-sided turning the edges with a file. The diameter of the loop can be any, this parameter is calculated based on the area of \u200b\u200bthe garden.
Rotary disc cultivator
This is a more serious unit, with which you can perform loosening, and leveling the soil, and hilling. In its design, a homemade hiller cultivator assumes the presence of the following elements: a disk, an axle, a stem and bushings, large and small brackets, a handle and a pipe. The functions of the working components are performed by disks welded to the bushings. The latter, in turn, are placed on the axis of the cultivator. Axial ends are fixed in brackets with a cotter pin. A pipe with a crossbar and a handle is installed in a large bracket in special grooves. On the smaller bracket, a stem 25 cm long and 2.4 cm in diameter is installed (by welding).
Also, a 1.6 cm thick rod is screwed into the stem, which should protrude slightly above the level of the crossbar. The most difficult thing in the manufacture of this model is giving a spherical shape to the disks. In general, this is a common question among gardeners and summer residents who are interested in how to make a homemade cultivator with reliable working elements. Without special equipment there can be only one way - to change the shape of the disks with a hammer, forming a bowl in the central part. Further, it is important to calculate the angle of fixation of the spherical disks in relation to the direction of processing. This parameter must be adjusted using the wing screws mounted on the crossbar.
Chainsaw cultivator
This type of homemade cultivators is also suitable for larger work. In terms of its power, the device will not yield to some versions of mini tractors. In addition, a home-made cultivator for a walk-behind tractor can be made from a chainsaw by providing the appropriate joints in the design. But more profitable solution- This is a fully mechanized unit with a chainsaw engine.
The basis will be a cubic frame welded from the corners. The power plant will be located on the transverse corners in the upper area of the hull. The fuel tank can be mounted even lower using brackets. The front struts will act as a support frame for the middle shaft. To fix the bearings of the running structure, the racks should be attached to the longitudinal elements. The result will be homemade walk-behind tractor, whose center of gravity will be above the wheelbase surface. A rubberized roller can be used as wheels, and handles can be made from pipes.
Electric meat grinder cultivator
In this case, the power unit is borrowed from a meat grinder, but otherwise the concept remains the same. The frame from which home-made cultivators for a tractor or walk-behind tractor are made can also become the basis for autonomous equipment. A feature of this design is the ability to quickly break the soil layers into large clods. If it is supposed to operate at low speed, then the processing will be delicate and provide a loose cover.
Two corners must be welded to the crankcase of the gearbox removed from the meat grinder. Two pipes are also installed to them, in which the endings should first be bent - in the future they will become handles. The axles of the wheels are also attached to the base of the corners. Excessively large wheels should not be chosen, because during the processing they will cause unnecessary trouble. But even small ones are undesirable, as they fall into the soil. Respectively, best option- medium wheels with a diameter of 20 cm. A shaft should be machined from the assembly scrap. Using a sledgehammer or a large hammer, it is necessary to break off the meat grinder nozzle, which will allow you to remove the sleeve, which will accept the shaft with the grouser screw into the design.
Do-it-yourself cutter
This unit is a cross between manual models and a full-fledged walk-behind tractor. If you want to get a homemade cultivator, the cutter of which performs processing without a third-party drive, then this option will be optimal. In place of the engine, any installation with a working volume of 50 cm 3 is suitable. The tasks of the cutters can be shifted to a structure assembled from parameters of 0.5 x 4 cm. For one cutter, 8 elements will be needed. Next, the strips need to be shaped into the letter G and connected to each other in the center with bolts so that four crosses are formed.
The supporting base will be a metal box, which should also contain the deceleration of the gearbox. Such a frame can be made from plates 0.4 cm thick and To pass the intermediate shaft at the top of the formed box, two holes should be made. The shaft will rotate in two bearings mounted in two housings welded from plates. To adjust the positions, homemade cultivators with this design are supplied. They can be welded to the base of the plates.
Arched cultivator
The unit has a simple design and does not require combination with other equipment, but at the same time it gives good results in tillage. The output is lancet equipment with five working paws. The basis of the structure will be formed by a yoke-shaped frame, also made of lancet-type flat-cutting paws. You can take such elements from the factory KPN-4A walk-behind tractor. It is necessary to fix the cutting components so that in checkerboard pattern one middle and two extreme paws were installed. Their bundle should be provided by a hinged frame on springs. The estimated width of processing with such paws is 33 cm.
for cultivation
A disc harrow can be constructed from a battery formed by 8 discs that are spherical in shape. According to the type of work, it will be a home-made width between the cutting elements in which it will be 15 cm. The harrow interacts with the frame according to the articulated principle. The length of the base can reach 130-140 cm, and the width - 65 cm. In this case, corners with a section of 45 x 45 cm are used for the frame. The depth of entry into the soil is up to 10 cm, and the approximate width of the grip is 120 cm. The advantages of such a harrow It is worth mentioning the possibility of adjusting the angle - up to 17 degrees.
Single furrow plow
One of best solutions for the manufacture of auxiliary equipment for the tractor will be a single-furrow plow. With its help, from 0.12 to 0.2 ha can be plowed per hour of work. At the same time, the processing depth is small - only 22 cm, and the width reaches 35 cm. Home-made cultivators for a mini tractor are made from a metal frame base. The plow can be made from channels, and the body can be borrowed from the trailed attachments like a cultivator, but with a shortened blade.
Conclusion
There are many design solutions for the development of cultivators, and the choice of a specific one is determined by the needs of the future user. Material costs for the manufacture of land-cultivating devices are minimal, and despite the fact that factory counterparts are sometimes estimated at tens of thousands of rubles. By and large, this is due to the fact that home-made cultivators are increasingly used not only in private households, but also in professional farming organizations. In terms of reliability, they are slightly inferior to branded units, and in terms of the quality of tillage they can surpass. You can make a cultivator with your own hands from improvised metal blanks, but the main advantage of such devices is the ability to diversify designs and, if necessary, make technical adjustments without the help of specialists.
