The second most important thing after plowing is tilling the land with a cultivator. On subsidiary farms and summer cottages such work is performed with a manual or mechanical cultivator.

However, all these devices are expensive, and the point of saving on growing your own crops is lost.

Therefore, most gardeners and amateur gardeners make a mechanical cultivator with their own hands.

If you have the tools and basic material resources (channels, pipes, steel angles, a more or less decent engine, wheels), a homemade motor cultivator can be made in a couple of weekends, keeping costs to a minimum.

How to make a cultivator with your own hands from scrap materials?

First of all, let's figure out what types of mechanized garden assistants exist.

According to the type of power plant, motor cultivators are either electric or with a motor. internal combustion.

The first option is preferable on personal plots with normal energy supply. Costs of use are lower, high environmental friendliness, ease of maintenance. Making such a cultivator with your own hands is not at all difficult.

The design with an internal combustion engine involves using the mechanism away from the point of connection to the power supply. Maintenance costs are higher and maintenance is more difficult. You have to work in a harmful environment of exhaust gases. These shortcomings are compensated by the complete autonomy of the application. You drive out into the field, start the engine, and you work until your fuel supplies run out.

According to the method of tillage.
The cultivator can be self-propelled, that is, equipped with driven wheels. Or it may only have a rotating working attachment, which at the same time serves as a means of movement.

In the first case (which is, of course, more difficult to manufacture), two gearboxes are used. One ensures movement of the mechanism at a given speed using drive wheels.

The second gearbox (usually faster) rotates the nozzle rotary type, ensuring soil loosening. If the cultivator has drive wheels, flat-cutting knives can be hung on it.

There are simplified designs in which the wheels are not driving, but simply rest on the surface, making movement easier. The forward movement occurs due to the rotation of the rotary nozzle.

Cultivators without drive or support wheels are easier to manufacture and also have less weight. However, during operation it is necessary to expend more physical effort to keep the mechanism on the trajectory.

Therefore, homemade gardeners most often make wheels for a cultivator with their own hands, and get a more functional and convenient tool.

Many summer residents are often interested in the question of how to assemble a walk-behind tractor with your own hands, while saving a lot of money? Before proceeding with the construction of this device, it is necessary to study its structure in detail.

Essentially, a walk-behind tractor is modern version horse When living in a village, it is an indispensable unit.

It often happens that it is not possible to drive a tractor onto a personal plot to plow the land due to its large sizes. The walk-behind tractor is capable of working in the most hard to reach places and even cultivate plots measuring one square meter.

One of the main advantages of this device– this is the minimum fuel consumption. As a rule, a full tank with a volume of 4.8 liters is enough for half a day of work, and sometimes more. Considering that many types of work on the ground have to be done with your own hands, such a unit is indispensable in agriculture. Digging, hilling, surveying, planting and digging up potatoes can be safely entrusted to his steel shoulders, saving a lot of time and effort.

Such a factory-assembled device costs from 30 to 200 thousand rubles, ranging from Chinese manufacturers to powerful diesel engines from BMW and Toyota. A cheap Chinese option can fail at any moment, and purchasing a unit from famous companies is expensive. It is much easier to use old equipment as a donor and, having purchased some spare parts, assemble the walk-behind tractor with your own hands. It will be cheaper even than the Chinese version.

Work that can be performed using such a device:

1. Cargo transportation, maximum load 250-300 kg. To do this, a trailer with a seat and space for transported weights is attached to the hitch of the walk-behind tractor.
2. Plowing and harrowing using a cutter, cultivator and harrow.
3. Planting both potatoes and any other crop.
4. Fertilizing the soil.
5. Hilling.
6. Harvesting potatoes.

Thanks to the availability wide choice additional equipment, this unit can be used for sweeping, drilling and snow removal. To install one equipment, you will need a hitch, while the other is connected directly to the gearbox.

Device design

Before you begin assembly, you need to determine the power of the unit. Depending on this parameter, further work will be based.

Spare parts can be used from a motorcycle or chainsaw. The motorcycle will suit any design. The best option is IZH Planet 5.4 or Sport series. The average power of the “Planet” is 16-22 horsepower, which is quite enough. Such models were very common at one time, so many people will be able to find one in the barn. But the chainsaw must be powerful; the Ural is ideal. To assemble the walk-behind tractor you will need:

• spare parts donor;
• welding machine;
• drawings (can be found on the Internet or taken from any other walk-behind tractor);
• set of tools.

To assemble such a device with your own hands, you need at least minimal knowledge about the operation of internal combustion engines. You should also have a welding machine at hand - without it nothing will work.

1. The operating principles of a motorcycle engine and a walk-behind tractor are slightly different from each other, so the engine must be optimized. The cooling system must be converted from passive air to active. You also need to increase the thrust for easier starting. To do this, you need to replace the valve with a reed valve, and this will also lead to fuel savings.
2. One of the main parts of the future unit is the gearbox. Ideal for the Ant scooter.
3. The frame of the structure can be made from the frame of a donor motorcycle, modifying it slightly. To do this, you need to cut off the front wheel fork and other parts that will interfere with the installation of the equipment from the frame. It is necessary to weld a mount at the back of the frame so that the hitch fits there comfortably.
4. Since a motorcycle engine, especially the IZH Planet Sport, can be too powerful, it is worth introducing a speed reducer into it.
5. If desired, wheels from classic Lada can be installed on the structure. This will provide higher cross-country ability. The axle for the wheels should be made from solid round timber; a pipe in this situation will not work reliable material. You can install tracks or a cutter.

Some aspects of making a homemade walk-behind tractor are worth dwelling on in detail. For those who have not personally experienced the assembly of this unit, many things may remain unclear.

Main nodes

1. The creeper is component gearbox, which is responsible for operating at extremely low speeds. As a rule, it is installed on a multi-mounted machine; a walk-behind tractor is just such a device. Many works carried out by this unit must be done at low speeds, for example, digging potatoes or cutting furrows for planting something. On factory models, the creeper is installed on the gearbox, therefore, it is imperative to install it on the homemade device. If this is not done, the capabilities of the walk-behind tractor will for the most part be limited to transporting goods, despite the fact that plowing the land is carried out without turning on this device. A creeper is necessary for plowing small areas of land, as well as between trees and near fences.
2. A gearbox is a transforming device that transmits engine torque to individual mechanisms. On a walk-behind tractor, the gearbox is usually installed between the engine and the wheels, but when installing some attachments it needs to transfer power. For example, if a milling cutter, drill, snow blower or tracks are installed on a walk-behind tractor, then the gearbox transmits torque to them. By the way, if you install a drill, you need to use a creeper; the factory gearbox is already equipped with it. Without sufficient experience with equipment and its repair, you should not try to assemble the gearbox yourself and install it on the creeper. It’s easier to purchase them at the appropriate store or remove them from old technology.

Optional equipment

If in order to assemble a homemade walk-behind tractor, some knowledge is required, then to assemble additional devices no experience is required at all. All that is needed are drawings, assembly materials and tools.

Adapter

Some people require an adapter for ease of movement. For the most part this is impractical, it is much easier to make a trailer with a seat. However, it is still worth mentioning how to make an adapter for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands.

A homemade adapter of the simplest design is a simple device that anyone can make. Procedure:

1. First, you should make sure that there is a deal on the walk-behind tractor for which the adapter will be connected. If yes, then you can start.
2. You will need a pipe rectangular section, the dimensions of which should be as follows: length - 1.7 meters, width and height – 4-6 centimeters.
3. At either end of the pipe, it is necessary to weld a pipe 0.5 meters long perpendicularly; it will become the basis for the wheel stands. The height of the stand from the center of the wheel to the mounting base should be 35 centimeters.
4. Frame under seat Can be made to any design and size at your discretion. Of course, it should not exceed the dimensions of the entire structure; dimensions of 45x45 cm are ideal.
5. For the reliability of the structure, it is necessary to weld the braces from the transverse pipe. They can be made from the same pipe as the base.
6. Some install a hitch on the back of the adapter and connect additional equipment to it, for example, a plow. This is terribly inconvenient, the device becomes bulky, but, as they say, everyone has their own needs. The hitch is purchased at the store.
7. The control lever for attachments is installed on the frame. That's all, the device is ready for use.

Let's summarize the materials needed to assemble a homemade adapter:

• steel pipe;
• steel sheet;
• two wheels;
• seat;
• tools and welding machine;
• hitch

Trailer

In most cases, a walk-behind tractor that will be used in agriculture requires a device such as a trailer. Making a homemade trailer is as easy as making an adapter. To connect it to the entire structure, a hitch is required. You can make a trailer for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands without straining; this process is extremely simple. It can be made directly with the seat or connected to an adapter. In the second case, as mentioned earlier, the design will be extremely cumbersome. It is best to connect all equipment directly to the walk-behind tractor, and use the adapter as an independent trailed unit.

To construct a homemade trailer, you will need:

• rectangular pipe;
• wheels;
• sheet iron: 0.2-0.3 millimeters;
• corners;
• nuts and bolts of various sizes;
• set of tools;
• welding machine;
• drill.

The frame is a solid rectangular structure. Manufacturing steps:

1. From the corner you need to make two crossbars: front and back. They need to be connected by five perpendicular pipes of rectangular cross-section. The result should be a lattice.
2. Four posts should be welded to the longitudinal cross members. They will serve as the basis of the sides. For reliability of the design, you can also add one rack along the length of the trailer, but in this case the side sides cannot be folded.
3. Sheet iron of 0.3 mm is laid on top of the grille, the sides can be sheathed with a thinner one - 0.2 mm.
4. The spars must be welded to the first two cross members. With their help, the running beam will be attached via springs.
5. To make a beam, you need to insert two identical channels into each other in a T-shape and equip this structure with wheel axles.
6. To create a drawbar you will need a rectangular pipe, it needs to be welded into a triangle and to strengthen the structure from top point weld another pipe to the main frame of the triangle.

The homemade trailer is ready, all that remains is to install the seat. It can be placed either on a drawbar or on a trailer.

Now you know how to make a walk-behind tractor with your own hands and prepare additional equipment for it.

Caterpillars

Some craftsmen also install tracks on the structure, which is generally practical in wet weather and winter. Having installed them, you don’t have to worry about cross-country ability. A walk-behind tractor on tracks will not slip on ice, and in inclement wet weather you can also perform some types of work on personal plot, unless, of course, it’s really a “swamp” outside.

Caterpillars can be purchased at the store or made with your own hands from the most ordinary transport tape or from old tire with protector. In the second case, the side part of the tire must be cut off, leaving only the working part of the cylinder. It is important that the tread pattern of the rubber matches the tread pattern of the wheel, because it will be installed on it. homemade caterpillars so that there are no idle scrolls when moving.

The outer part of the tape or tire must be heeled from thick iron. That's all, the tracks are ready, you can install them on the walk-behind tractor. Exactly the same effect can be achieved by pulling a chain on the wheel. The only disadvantage when using chains is rapid wear of the rubber and less maneuverability.

Now you can use the walk-behind tractor and equipment on the farm.

You should not undertake the independent manufacture of this unit without knowing the approximate operating principle of the internal combustion engine, the design of the gearbox and speed reducer. And, even after reading about it in this article and learning how to combine it all, you should think carefully about whether you understood everything.

With equipment for a walk-behind tractor, everything is much simpler. All that is needed is basic skills in holding tools and using a welding machine.

Many machines and mechanisms have been developed that help cultivate, cut furrows, weed between rows, and hill up plants. They are often quite complex, scarce and expensive. In case land small in size, with light soils, many gardeners prefer to use a manual cultivator produced by the domestic industry. In this case, the work is carried out mainly by two people.

For this they use the characteristic method “one step forward, half a step back”: moving forward occurs in large jerks, with a 10-centimeter rollback. Since this method increased work productivity compared to manual labor, but was physically exhausting, it was decided to equip the cultivator with the simplest internal combustion engine, that is, to make a homemade motor cultivator.

How to make a homemade motor cultivator, description and drawings

Install an engine from a moped, make a two-stage power transmission, and install available bicycle ones as sprockets (so that the number of teeth is equal to 41).

First of all, we modernized the hiller frame. First, the wheel fork was cut off. Instead, a slightly elongated new plug was attached using electric welding. A pipe was welded on the front part of this fork, which is an additional amplifier and at the same time serves as load-bearing element for intermediate shaft and engine.

Since the hiller, as a result of the changes, becomes self-propelled, it is necessary to strengthen its standard wheel. To do this, a three-spoke spoke is welded onto the rim and hub. She's cut from steel sheet, 2 mm thick. The wheel itself was modernized by welding twenty lugs made from a 20x20 steel angle, 60 mm long, to it. A bicycle sprocket was installed on the wheel hub, on the left side.

The installed moped engine was equipped with forced cooling. To make this possible, a hole with a diameter of 29 mm was made in the engine clutch cover, which is located on the same axis with the socket of the crankshaft drive gear. This hole will be used to install the axle bolt and hub hub for the fan impeller.

How to make a motor cultivator with your own hands

The motorized cultivator consists of:

• lug wheel (1),
• bicycle sprocket (2),
• three-beam welded spoke (3),
• cultivator frame (4),
• exhaust pipe with muffler (5),
• modernized engine from a moped (6),
• fuel tank (7),
• tubular V-shaped post (8),
• intermediate shaft sprocket (9),
• pipe reinforcing the frame (11),
• handles with carburetor throttle and clutch control handles (12),
• mechanism for fastening and adjusting the handles (13),
• cultivator-hiller paw (14),
• knot (16).

For the manufacture of the impeller, a duralumin sheet was used, the thickness of which is 0.5-1.0 mm. The workpiece was previously marked, after which the mounting holes were drilled. Then it was scored with a chisel, cut with scissors, and the resulting blades were bent. This impeller is attached to the crankshaft using a shaped nut, a hub-bushing and a special M8 bolt. To achieve this, you need to follow a simple method and partially overhaul the engine.

First we rearrange the cylinder head. It must be turned so that vertical cooling fins are installed perpendicular to the clutch cover. Then we separate the drive gear from the crankshaft journal using a standard puller. We securely fasten the latter in a vice, having first installed protection against “crushing”, and move on to the fan.

We firmly screw the impeller to the hub-hub with M4 screws. WITH reverse side Be sure to rivet the fasteners. Using the splines to the impeller, we screw the shaped nut onto the M20 thread, thereby preparing the unit for connection to the drive gear.

Sheet metal is used to make the bottom cover of the fan casing. Next, it is installed on the clutch cover and connected with an M6 screw. Make sure that both parts are aligned as much as possible. The centers of additional mounting holes are installed in the coupling cover using the holes in the casing cover for this purpose. After this, both parts are removed from the engine again to cut the M5 thread and drill the missing holes. Once the clutch cover is in place, the fan cover is screwed onto it.

Next we work with the crankshaft journal. A gear assembly with a hub-bushing, an impeller and a shaped nut is placed on it. Using a special M8 bolt, everything is firmly fixed together. And using a shaped nut, they are pushed “tightly”. The latter can be screwed onto the threaded section of the hub-bushing.

To make the upper part of the fan casing, use a sheet of tinplate or roofing iron, the thickness of which is 0.3-0.5 mm. The workpiece is bent along thin lines, and the “tongues” are folded inward. Then you need to solder the seams and install the casing on the engine. The mounting holes in the bottom cover and the holes in the casing for the spark plug are made during installation, “in situ”.

The countershaft axle is re-milled using 45 steel. This is done in such a way that it is easier to fit welded sprockets onto it on one side, and the drive pulley on the other. The intermediate shaft assembly is assembled from a pedal or bicycle shaft.

For the manufacture of all tubular elements of the power structure of the motor cultivator, sections of water-gas-conducting pipes are used. To avoid cracks and breakages during bending, it is recommended to fill the internal cavity with sand. For these purposes, in winter you can use water, followed by freezing, which guarantees the pipes high smoothness and bending quality.

The gasoline tank is taken from the Riga moped, from which fuel flows by gravity to the engine. The tank is mounted on two tubular struts, which are welded to the intermediate shaft hub.

Control of the carburetor throttle and clutch is taken from the motorcycle. The cables are taken from a motor scooter. A 4 mm hole is drilled in the handrail, behind the clutch handle. The lever fixing bracket is inserted there in the released position. During manufacturing, the handles are made removable, so the cultivator can be easily placed in the trunk of a car.

During the test, when cultivating potatoes, processing productivity was achieved - fifteen hundred square meters in one hour.

Previously, it was necessary to harrow and plow almost manually, using a minimum amount of auxiliary tools, then now this could be done using special equipment. In this case, we are talking about walk-behind tractors - units that are full-fledged assistants in the garden. However, the cost of all this equipment is quite high, taking into account the cost of the walk-behind tractor itself, so many craftsmen have adapted to making new homemade products of one or another technical device.

It is not surprising that the growth of such interest in this technology was associated with the use of various additional trailed and mounted equipment (KUN), which significantly expand the functionality of the walk-behind tractor.

About the device of the walk-behind tractor

Next, you will learn how to choose. To make it clearer what the principle of self-made walk-behind tractor and its additional components is, you need to consider in detail the structure of the walk-behind tractor as a means of small-scale mechanization. So, this unit includes several main working units:

• The main driving force, i.e. engine.
• Transmission.
• Chassis.
• Basic controls.

Engine

As the main driving force The design of walk-behind tractors uses a standard internal combustion engine. Depending on the type and brand of walk-behind tractor, for example, the engine used may be different:

• Gasoline 4-stroke engine. This engine is used for units belonging to the light and medium class of devices.
• Diesel 4-stroke engine. Motors of this kind are used on heavy and powerful walk-behind tractors designed to work on the most difficult surface areas.

Video: The best diesel walk-behind tractor

For more information about the operation of a diesel walk-behind tractor, watch the video:

Of course, 2-stroke engines are also available, but they are used in fairly old models of walk-behind tractors, being significantly inferior to 4-stroke engines in terms of power thrust. However, most consumers get 4-stroke gasoline engines. Their device includes the following systems:

• The system responsible for supplying fuel. Consists of a fuel tank, carburetor, air filter and a fuel hose.
• A lubrication system that carries out the process of lubricating those parts that rub against each other.
• A starter that spins the crankshaft.
• A cooling system that removes heat from the engine cylinder block using air flow.
• An ignition system that produces a spark at the spark plug.
• A gas distribution system that ensures the flow of the air-fuel mixture into the engine cylinder and is also responsible for the exit of exhaust gases.

The important thing is that the engine is sold with all the main operating systems, which greatly facilitates the process of making a homemade walk-behind tractor.

Transmission

The main function of the transmission is to transmit torque from the engine to the wheelbase, as well as regulate speeds and change the movement of the unit. Its design includes several working units: gearbox, clutch, gearbox and differential (not available in all models).

Transmission can be of several types:

• Gear.
• Belt.
• Chain.
• Combined.

Mostly, classic type Gear transmission is used on heavy walk-behind tractors, and it consists of bevel and cylindrical gears.

Other types of transmission are used in light and medium types of walk-behind tractors. At the same time, regardless of the type of transmission, the design contains a PTO - a power take-off shaft, which transmits torque to the working units of the unit.

As for the clutch, it can be different:

• In the form of a V-belt transmission. The essence of the process is the clutch lever, which tightens or loosens the belt, thereby transmitting or stopping the transmission of torque from the motor to the gearbox.
• Single or multi-disc dry or wet clutch.
• Conical coupling.

Most high-quality walk-behind tractors use the second type of clutch, which is the most reliable.

Chassis

The chassis includes not only the wheelbase itself, but also the frame structure to which these wheels are attached, and where the main working units of the walk-behind tractor are located.

In more modern models The walk-behind tractor provides for changing the distance between a pair of wheels, which allows you to adjust the track size of the walk-behind tractor.

Today, there are two types of wheels - pneumatic and metal with lugs.

Basic controls

The walk-behind tractor control is located on the handle of the unit, responsible for changing the speed and direction of movement of the device. The controls include:

• Levers, steering wheel and gear shifters.
• Clutch control.
• Engine stop lever or button.
• Gas supply, etc.

The design of the walk-behind tractor does not have a seat for a person (as in), so the control itself is carried out by the person himself.

DIY accessories for a walk-behind tractor

I would like to start analyzing homemade products with the direct production of walk-behind tractors with my own hands. There is no question here that we will make the unit from scratch, because this is technically impossible for home conditions.

The main working units will be taken from other equipment; all we have to do is prepare a certain base on which all the parts of the walk-behind tractor could be successfully connected.

I would like to talk about diesel walk-behind tractors on 4 wheels, the homemade construction of which will be discussed later. At their core, these units are similar in appearance and in their technical data to full-fledged mini tractors.

To help farmers, companies produce a variety of special equipment to facilitate the work and maintenance of the farm. everything about the design and characteristics of the Khryusha grain crusher.

Millions of people on our land are engaged in gardening and farming. - will save your time, health and energy.

Those who have their own household should find out what the process of milking using a milking machine is. By clicking on you will get acquainted with the AID 2 milking machine.

The only difference is the absence of a differential lock in the walk-behind tractors, but otherwise they are very similar - both the presence of a driver’s seat and steering, and the presence of two pairs of wheels.

It is clear that the modification will be based on adding several additional components to the existing walk-behind tractor - an additional frame for the second pair of wheels, installing a steering wheel and a seat under which the speed control should be located, etc.

Video: Minitractor from the Neva MB2 walk-behind tractor

The finished version costs about 120 thousand rubles, so not everyone has the means to purchase it. This is where it becomes appropriate homemade production, which is gaining popularity every year.

How to make a four-wheeled walk-behind tractor

To make a full-fledged 4-wheeled walk-behind tractor, we will need a fairly powerful basic unit (Zubr, Neva, etc.). In this case, we will consider a conversion from a Neva walk-behind tractor, because it is quite common in our country.

For greater convenience, you can purchase a ready-made conversion kit, which costs about 30 thousand rubles.

Let's conditionally divide the assembly process into several stages:

• First of all, we need to take care of making the frame. It's about about an additional supporting structure, under which the second pair of wheels will be located. To make the frame we will need pieces of pipe and metal corners.
• There are no special requirements for the pipe parameters, but it must be taken into account that the load on these elements will be sufficient.
• The pipe elements need to be cut with a grinder, and then fastened together with bolts. For better stability of the structure, a transverse steel beam can be welded.
• You also need to weld a device for attaching attachments and trailed equipment to the frame. It can be mounted both in front and behind the unit.
• To attach the front pair of wheels we need metal pipe, the diameter of which must match the width of the front axle. Wheel hubs must be attached to the pipe.
• In the center you need to drill a through-type hole through which we attach the structure to the front frame. Next, the gearbox and steering rods are installed. Then we install the steering wheel.
• You can use old ones from Soviet cars as wheels.
• We install the existing engine on the front part of the structure. This is done so that the walk-behind tractor is more stable on the surface, because attached or trailed equipment will be located behind it.

By the way, it will be connected to the walk-behind tractor using a towbar (for and a special bracket (for attachments).

Such homemade do-it-yourself walk-behind tractors are quite reliable and practical to use, because the entire structure turns out to be more monolithic, representing a full-fledged device with a seat and steering wheel. In terms of functionality, they are even comparable to mini tractors, which are much more expensive.

Let's additionally consider homemade products for the Neva walk-behind tractor with our own hands, since it is so popular. In particular, several options for additional equipment can be manufactured:

• Blade for walk-behind tractor.
• disk type, etc.

Blade

A blade is necessary not only for clearing snow in winter, but also for clearing various debris. To make it, we will need ordinary sheet metal, the thickness of which will be about 2 mm. Inside it you need to weld 4 ribs of the same steel, but about 4 mm thick.

You need to drill holes in them through which the blade with rods will be attached. It is best to sheathe the lower part of the structure with tin, which will prevent the blade from burying in the ground.

Hiller

To make it, we will need a pair of ordinary metal pan lids (enameled ones will not work in this case). Their diameter should be about 500 mm. Next we sharpen the edges of the lids to grinding machine so that they penetrate the soil better.

Disc hillers must be attached to homemade cart with wheels. They are made from ordinary bushings and pipes welded together.

Attachments to walk-behind tractors and walk-behind cultivators, the homemade products of which can be completely made independently, come in the most various types:

• Weeding equipment.
• Potato diggers and potato planters.
• Snow blowers, etc.

Homemade trailer

Trailers for walk-behind tractors and their homemade products are quite simple design, consisting of a conventional box with sides located on a wheelbase.

For self-made trailer we need:

• Profiled pipe 40×25 mm and 25×25 mm. It is needed for the manufacture of the coupling of the trolley with the walk-behind tractor, as well as for the manufacture of the sides - inside and under the trailer.
• For the body, we need to make a frame structure from professional pipes 40x25 cm and 25x25 cm. The bottom of the body can be made from an ordinary piece sheet metal. Pieces of corrugated pipe need to be welded to the bottom of the body so as to form a grille. A full piece of corrugated pipe is welded on top of these edges along the entire perimeter.
• You need to install a profiled sheet on the finished frame, which will serve as the sides. The height of each side is approximately 30 cm.
• The tailgate needs to be folding. We use regular latches as latches, which need to be attached to both sides of the side. This side is attached to the bottom of the body using regular door hinges. On the same board you can install reflectors that act as light reflectors.
• Wheels can be taken from Oka or Zhiguli cars - their diameter will be optimal.
• The bridge can also be taken from the old Zhiguli. The wheels are attached to it using a pair of bearings. You can secure the bridge to the frame using pieces of pipe, up to two on each side. Some ends of the pipe are welded to the bridge, and the other to the body.

Feasibility of manufacturing homemade trailer is quite understandable, because the cost of all the costs for a homemade product is about 4 thousand rubles, which is several times lower than the price of a ready-made trailer in a store.

Best DIY Equipment

Homemade products with an engine from a walk-behind tractor (read) are also of some interest. Among them, the greatest interest is in the manufacture of a snowmobile. As a running gear, you can use a transport tape on which you need to attach snow hooks.

In addition, interesting are the options for manufacturing other various types of equipment from a walk-behind tractor:

• All-terrain vehicles. The design resembles a mini tractor, but has wheels of a higher diameter. This is necessary so that the unit can pass through the most difficult terrain.
• Mini tractors. We have already considered this design, which includes an additional part of the frame for a second pair of wheels, as well as steering wheels and the driver’s seat.

Conclusion

Do-it-yourself walk-behind tractors, drawings of which can be found on the Internet, are the best solution for those who do not have the opportunity to spend extra money on purchasing additional equipment.

Considering that the savings are significant, there are a lot of people who want to make similar technical means with his own hand.
