In the basic configuration, a modern steering wheel with adjustment in two planes is used. This gives an individual selection of the position of the steering column, depending on the physical data of a person and the tasks that he solves.

2 speeds forward and 1 reverse: this allows you to comfortably work on milling cutters on any type of soil, as well as use the Mobil K cultivator for communal purposes.

A gear reducer is installed on the walk-behind tractor. The body is made of aluminum and is collapsible and serviceable. This reducer makes it possible to achieve optimal performance with the ground speed of rotation of cutters 80-120 rpm. The absence of chains makes such a transmission ultra-durable.

The weight of the walk-behind tractor and the balancing of the structure are optimal not only for cultivating the land, but also for working with a plow on heavy soil, as well as for performing various public works.

The motor cultivator is equipped with an ergonomic clutch handle and an accelerator from the world leader, the Italian company Start. The clutch handle has a variable shoulder, and there is no stress on the wrist when pressed. Handles are made of a special anti-vibration alloy.

The blades are made of a special alloy and have a unique design, designed for a certain weight of the cultivator. Knives are hardened by high-frequency currents and sharpen themselves in the ground during operation. The cutter has a collapsible design.

Structurally, the coulter is combined with transport wheels, you can easily bring the cultivator to the place of work without damaging the lawn and paving slabs knives. The location of the wheels at the back allows you to move the cultivator without the load on the arms and back, unlike when the wheels are located in the front. To start working and cultivating the land, you just need to turn the coulter 190 degrees.

Ideally matched ratio of the speed of the walk-behind tractor and active attachments. This makes the operator's work with the mower, brush and snow blower as comfortable and productive as possible.

Only professional sleeved engines with a long service life from leading world manufacturers are installed on the walk-behind tractor. Household engines are not installed.

The drive of the cultivator uses a high-quality durable wear-resistant belt from German company Optibelt. The belt withstands the widest range of operating temperatures.

Cultivation of the soil during the break-in period must be carried out to a depth of no more than 12 centimeters in one pass by cultivators, without additional sections.

Owner reviews

The first thing to note (which is what all the owners of the Plowman motoblock are talking about) is that this model is designed for work on light garden soils, virgin lands and especially hard and dense soils are “not about his teeth”. For heavy soils, a walk-behind tractor of the middle class, weighing more than one hundred kilograms, will be required.

But it is very light and easy to operate - even any teenager can work with it! According to the owners, 10-15 acres of a garden for this walk-behind tractor are optimal area, which he can process without the slightest difficulty. There is truth, and evidence of the work of "Plowman" on virgin soils. Only in this case, wheel weights were installed on the walk-behind tractor, and the track expanded.

The material from which the walk-behind tractor is assembled is definitely not flimsy, the frame is very strong. The quality of assembly and painting also inspires respect and confidence. The cutter protection design deserves praise: the ground does not fly high, which is safe for the face and eyes. Changing gears when working with cutters or a plow is convenient and easy. They switch pretty well. The clutch also works clearly and smoothly, the Plowman MKM-3 walk-behind tractor starts off slowly and without jerks.

Plus, there is a power take-off pulley for a belt drive, applicable for a wide variety of inexpensive additional equipment. The pin located in front of the walk-behind tractor is also convenient. Weights can be freely placed on it for movement as part of a trolley and for harrowing. Excellent balancing and weight distribution: all the weight falls on the wheels.

Manufacturers praise the gearbox for good reason: it is really powerful, high-torque and very good in quality. This gearbox is the most reliable in relation to chain or worm gears. Rubber depreciation handles are good both in quality and in convenience. The same can be said about the clutch handle. Convenient and comfortable to adjust the steering wheel. Quickly and without problems, the walk-behind tractor is disassembled and assembled into positions for transportation and for work. The walk-behind tractor coulter is equipped with comfortable wheels, you can move the walk-behind tractor on them while cultivators are standing on it, so as not to spoil the paths.

The following review by the owner of the Plowman MKM-3 can be called very remarkable: “Last year I dug up a garden of 20 acres - I killed him for half an autumn. This year, in the break-in mode - 10 minutes milling, 10 minutes rest, processed the same area in just a couple of hours. And what I haven’t bought before, I can’t imagine! ”

Of the minuses of this model, the owners call tight gas; increased vibration in the middle range of rotation of the crankshaft. The tension roller bearing is dry, after stopping the engine for another 30 seconds it rotates with a whistle. Some owners note as a drawback - weak welding in the area where the steering wheel is attached to the frame. Throttle lever stuck intermittently.

It is also noted that for high-quality snow cleaning, the speed of the walk-behind tractor is too big. Even in first gear, so sometimes the snow thrower chokes. The solution is to additionally purchase a utility pulley for this walk-behind tractor. Due to the smaller diameter of the pulley, the speed of the walk-behind tractor will be noticeably lower, and the speed of rotation of the snow blower auger will remain at the same level.

In general, we can conclude that the positive experience of owning motoblocks of the Gagarin company Mobil K is noticeably more than negative. Motoblock "Plowman" ("Lander") MKM-3 "not only outwardly looks worthy. It is also qualitatively assembled, quite maneuverable and has maximum versatility.

Attachment

Motoblocks MKM-3 Lander gained great popularity due to the quality of manufacture of the main structural units, engine power and wide choice additional attachments.

Consider the most common hinges.

cutter

Complete with the MKM-3 Lander motor-block there is a set of mills for tillage. They are installed instead of standard pneumatic wheels and allow mixing of the top soil layer.

There is another option - active cutters. They are connected to the power take-off shaft. During the processing of the field with such attachments, the Lander walk-behind tractor behaves more stably.

If it is necessary to process virgin or hard soils, it is recommended to use a plow. He is able to process those rocks where the cutters will not be able to enter the ground and will either break off or simply jump over.

Motoblocks Plowman Lander do not have enough power to drive a 2-circuit plow, so they only work with 1.

During plowing Special attention should be given to driving the machine, do not let go of the steering rod or use open-top shoes.

Mowers and rakes

In order to keep in order adjoining territory and cleaning weeds, Plowman Lander motoblocks are used together with a rotary mower. They are able to cope with young grass and medium-sized shrubs. Rotary mowers cut the grass using rotating blades that spin.

Rotary mower Dawn

If the hay needs to be removed after mowing, then for this you can use other attachments - a rake. Their width is about 1 m.

Potato digger and potato planter

Motoblocks Plowman Lander are able to help in planting and harvesting potatoes. For this, appropriate attachments are used.

The most popular option for a potato digger is a screener. Its active knife plunges into the ground by about 20 cm, picks up a layer of soil along with the fruits, and then breaks the soil rocks on the screens and leaves only tubers on the surface.

Okuchniki

To care for potatoes, hillers are used, they are made in the form of two disks that discard a layer of soil from row spacing onto potato bushes. Thus, two tasks are performed at once: hilling and weeding.

Snow blowers and blade shovel

With the onset of winter, land work ceases, and many owners put motoblocks Plowman Lander for conservation.

If you have a snow blower or a blade-shovel, then it can be used to clear the area of ​​snow. This is especially true in rural areas, where these works have to be carried out independently.

Snow blowers are a special attachment that picks up a layer of snow and throws it through a rotor and a special outlet to a distance of 5 meters.

The blade-shovel is used mainly for cleaning the local area.

Wheels, lugs and tracks

Plowman motoblocks belong to the average traction and weight class of a motoblock. They reliably adhere to the surface due to pneumatic wheels with aggressive tread.

To improve patency, instead of standard tires, lugs are used. They are used when working on swampy or wet soil.

Caterpillar modules are installed when riding a walk-behind tractor in winter period. They increase the contact area with the surface, and improve control when driving on ice or snow.

Weights

The downside of motoblocks Plowman Lander is their low weight, therefore, they often slip and behave unstably.

To give them more balance, you can install additional weight in the form of weighting agents, which are hung on the wheel axle in the form of pancakes.

Trailer

Motoblocks Plowman can transport goods thanks to the installation of trailers. The choice of its configuration directly depends on the cargo being transported:

• Trailers with high sides are used when transporting bulk cargo;
• Tipper options are used for the transportation of bulk items;
• Long carts are used when it is necessary to transport long pipes or tree fellings.

Adapter

For decreasing physical activity on the operator, adapters can be used while working on the Plowman Lander walk-behind tractor. This is a special attachment in the form of a seat, which is installed behind the walk-behind tractor and allows you to control the movement of the machine while sitting.

Homemade options

As we see the range of different attachments for motoblocks Lander MKM is very large and everyone can choose the one they like. However, their cost can sometimes reach half the price of a walk-behind tractor.

Therefore, many people are thinking about how to make attachments on their own. For this, the Internet has a large number of various thematic forums, sites and video reviews of manufacturing.

The most popular site is Samodelkin, where, in the form of diagrams and photos, the process of manufacturing various hinges is presented.

User manual

Before starting the operation of the Plowman walk-behind tractor, new owners should read the operating instructions in order to understand the principle of handling the equipment and thereby protect themselves from injury.
