It's no secret that agriculture in Russia is extremely poorly provided with high-quality machinery. Over the past 15 years, the car fleet has halved. And the average "age" of the remaining machines has long crossed all conceivable limits. Analysts' opinion is disappointing: the power supply of our agricultural enterprises is 10 times worse than in any other developed country. By the way, poor technical equipment and low productivity of rural labor are the main reason that hinders the market competitiveness of Russian agricultural products.

Import of Chinese tractors

In recent years, Chinese-made tractors have become popular. After all, for Russia this is an excellent alternative to expensive and not very high-quality domestic equipment (may our compatriots forgive us).

Since 2000, China has steadily increased its exports of agricultural equipment. And if earlier a Chinese tractor of low power was popular, in recent years exports have been increasing due to medium-power machines. In many CIS countries, joint domestic-Chineseenterprises for the assembly and maintenance of agricultural machinery.

Experts suggest that the demand for tilled implements and various attachments to them will grow every year. At present, there is a tendency to accumulate experience in operating such equipment as Chinese tractors. Reviews show that the technical characteristics of agricultural units and their readiness exceed the performance of domestic machines several times.

Advantages of Chinese motorcycles

The Chinese agricultural machinery market is represented by popular models of motor tractors and mini tractors. Due to their small size and efficiency, they are deservedly in demand among farmers. Almost every Chinese tractor has a high ground clearance, easily overcomes all obstacles and bumps. More powerful models with 4x4 drive, feel great in swampy areas and in the snow.

In addition, Chinese tractors have the following positive qualities:

• clear and simple controls;
• high maneuverability;
• compact size;
• lightweight;
• fuel-efficient;
• low-cost service in many regions of Russia.

Chinese motor tractors

This is a cross between a conventional unit and a walk-behind tractor, but smaller and lighter than a full-fledged Chinese tractor. Here, unlike a walk-behind tractor, there is a place for the driver, a steering gear and pedals.

There arediesel tractors, less often - gasoline. The former are purchased for cultivating large tracts of land, as they are economical and have good traction. The second - maneuverable and smaller in size. They are suitable for work in small areas, for example, home gardens.

The power of motor tractors is from 9 to 24 hp. s., which is equal to 6-18 kW. Motoblocks from the Chinese manufacturer Bulat are especially popular in Russia.

Reason for the popularity of Chinese mini tractors and motor tractors

Thanks to the change of attachments, this agricultural machinery has acquired very necessary qualities, such as all-season and multifunctionality. The body of the mini-tractor can be equipped with additional "gadgets":

• ploughs (single-furrow or double-furrow);
• potato planters (single or double row);
• mowers, seeders, shovels, mouldboards, cutters;
• front and rear lifters;
• trenchers, sprayers, balers, trailers;
