Climatic conditions and soil composition in Belarus for growing potatoes are more than favorable. Local summer residents in their suburban areas traditionally collect very good harvests of this crop. However, the work of growing it, especially in terms of pre-sowing tillage, is a really difficult procedure. You can make it much easier by buying a modern walk-behind tractor.

Most Popular Brands

Most often, Belarusian summer residents plow allotments for potatoes using the following models:

• Farmer.
• Magnum.
• Belorus MTZ.

These are the most reliable motoblocks in Belarus, productive and easy to use. In addition, the price for them is usually much less than the cost of European imported counterparts.

What is a walk-behind tractor

Technique of this variety is used mainly for plowing the land. However, unlike a cultivator, a walk-behind tractor can perform many other functions. For this, various kinds of towing devices are provided: hillers, rakes,mowers. Often motoblocks are used even for cleaning the site. In addition, this technique is more powerful and productive than motor cultivators. You can distill it, including on the roads under your own power. Motor cultivators, on the other hand, have only additional wheels designed to move only within the site.

How to choose the best model

When buying a walk-behind tractor, first of all, pay attention to its characteristics:

• Power. The larger the plot, the more horsepower the walk-behind tractor should have. For a small allotment (6 acres), you can purchase a small model for 3-5 liters. With. For a medium-sized plot (12-15 acres), a 7-liter model is suitable. With. For large fields, it is better to buy motor cultivators for 16 liters. s.
• The width of the land when plowing. The higher this value, the more efficient the model. This parameter is chosen based primarily on the area of \u200b\u200bthe site. For a plot of 6-20 acres, models with a working width of up to 60 cm are usually chosen. For fields from 20 acres - 100 cm.

Thus, a good model of a motor cultivator can be considered one whose technical characteristics are ideal for a particular area. With the right selection of the device, the owner of the allotment will not have to overpay. The technique itself will be easy to use and productive.

In addition to performance characteristics, when buying a motor cultivator, you should also pay attention to its brand. Motoblocks of Belarus, reviews of which are mostly good, will certainly not let you downtheir owner and will last a long time. Cheap models from unknown manufacturers, when used, are sure to give the owner a lot of trouble.

Farmer models: description

1. Very careful tillage.

3. Ease of use. Changing the various attachments on this technique is a very simple procedure.

5. Availability of two speeds.
6. Small sizes.

Despite the fact that motoblocks of this brand are produced in China, summer residents usually have good reviews about them. Many residents of Belarusconsider them downright indispensable helpers in the garden. First of all, the power of these models and the possibility of using them not only on light soils, but also on loams are noted. Many summer residents solve the problem of light weight and slippage simply by hanging lugs.

By this fact alone, one can judge the quality of the work of MTZ walk-behind tractors. Among summer residents, they are considered quite reliable and in any case justify their cost. These are perhaps the best walk-behind tractors in Belarus. Their main advantages, in addition to power and versatility, include:

Motoblocks in Belarus: reviews of MTZ products

Most summer residents of Belarus prefer to purchase models of this particular brand for their farms. They are quite popular in other countries of the former USSR. The owners of suburban areas attribute to their main advantages not only a large clearance and maintainability, but also an excellent quality of plowing. Models of this brand weigh a lot. Motoblock MTZ "Belarus 09N", for example, - as much as 170 kg. The depth of plowing in walk-behind tractors of this brand can be adjusted. In addition, unlike the Farmer technique, MTZ models never slip.

Thus, these are very popular walk-behind tractors in Belarus. MTZ, however, according to summer residents, produces units with some drawbacks. These include, first of all, the complexity of attaching attachments and not too clear gear shifting. Models of this brand cost a little more than Farmer - around 60-75 thousand rubles.

Motoblocks "Magnum"

The main distinguishing feature of the equipment of this brand is considered to be a lot of weight. As for the MTZ brand units, the density of the soil for such models practically does not matter. With their use, you can plow both very light and heavy soil. Of all the models of this manufacturer, the most popular walk-behind tractors in Belarus are Magnum 300. The advantages of the design primarily include a beltless clutch. The torque in such walk-behind tractors is transmitted to the engine directly and freely. Also, the advantages of this manufacturer's equipment are considered to be a large depthplowing, maneuverability and wide soil coverage (100 cm). Unlike MTZ units, when plowing with Magnum walk-behind tractors, no effort is required. But the models of this brand are also more expensive - about 100-120 thousand rubles.

Reviews about "Magnum"

These are also very popular walk-behind tractors in Belarus. Reviews about them are actually quite good. According to summer residents of this country, they are quite productive and reliable. The Magnum M-300 is praised for its large wheels. The positive characteristics of these walk-behind tractors include summer residents the presence of a differential, a rotary rod and a power take-off shaft. The downside of the Magnums is considered to be only a not very good front wheel mount.

Diesel or petrol model to choose?

Appreciate, of course, not only petrol motoblocks in Belarus. Residents of this country also use diesel models quite often. At the same time, the owners of suburban areas usually choose equipment from the same manufacturers - Farmer, MTZ or Magnum. The main differences between diesel models of walk-behind tractors and gasoline ones are:

• Great pulling force. These models work better in low gears, and therefore plow even the most difficult soils well.
• Economy. In terms of fuel consumption, petrol models are significantly superior to diesel ones.
• Durability. A diesel engine has a longer resource than a gasoline engine.

The disadvantages of walk-behind tractors running on this type of fuel include, first of all, noise, not very good maneuverability and high price. In addition, diesel vehicles are more difficult to use in winter. The engine of such models in the cold starts worse than gasoline ones.

As you can see, all the motor blocks of Belarus described above are distinguished by reliability and quality. The choice of a particular brand depends mainly on the characteristics of the site and the financial capabilities of its owner. For light soils, the most inexpensive, maneuverable Farmer is most likely to work best. For medium and heavy - "Magnum". Those Belarusians who want to support the domestic manufacturer and at the same time not suffer from the search for parts in case of breakdowns should take a closer look at the units of the MTZ plant. Moreover, the equipment of this brand is very well suited for all types of soil.
