Attachment

In order for the walk-behind tractor to become more functional, manufacturers have provided for the use of attachments, which increases the functionality of the unit. Below is the attachment for Viking walk-behind tractors:

• Cutters are usually supplied as a set, but if necessary, they can be purchased in addition. Are used for cultivation of the soil of any complexity. The quality of weeding depends on the power of the motoblock model.
• Hiller is used to create furrows various sizes and width, which in turn are intended for planting. After germination of seedlings, the device can be used for hilling the soil.
• The cultivator is mounted on a walk-behind tractor instead of wheels and is used for loosening soft soil. It looks like a design of cutters with sharp knives.

• The plow will do an excellent job where the milling cutters failed, i.e. on dense soil. Plowing occurs as follows: the first track is made, then one wheel is placed in it, and the plow is lowered into the ground. Thus, the second track buries the first.
• Mowers - designed for mowing grass. There are 2 types: rotary and segment. Configurations and sizes are different. Segment mowers are two rows of pointed teeth that move in horizontal plane. They are able to cut not only grass, but also small shrubs, but they work only on flat areas. Rotary work due to three knives that rotate and cut the grass. They can also work on sloped surfaces.

• The wheels are included with the walk-behind tractor, but for driving on snowy terrain it is best to use tracks that are put on instead of wheels and increase the traction area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe machine with the ground.
• Mounting the adapter on the walk-behind tractor turns it into an excellent means of transportation, facilitates control, allowing the operator to work while sitting.
• A potato planter and a potato digger make it easy to plant and harvest vegetables.

• Weighting agents contribute to giving additional weight to the walk-behind tractor when weeding, allowing the operator to apply minimal effort.
• Snow blower, blade-shovel - presented various configurations and sizes, among which the consumer can choose the most suitable model. The snow blower can spread snow by 12 m. The blade is a curved steel sheet, which, when the walk-behind tractor moves, rakes the snow to the side.

• The lugs provide good flotation on difficult soils where the wheels slip.
• The trailer is only used for powerful walk-behind tractors and helps to transport loads weighing up to 800 kg.

Service

Before the first start or after long downtime running-in is mandatory, which prolongs the life of the engine and allows all parts to get used to each other. The break-in procedure takes a little time and does not require significant effort.

Certain steps must be taken:

• Check for engine oil.
• Start the engine and let it run at low speed for 30 minutes, periodically shifting into gears.
• For the next 8 hours, you can use the cultivator at half power.
• After running-in, drain all engine oil and replace with new one.

Below is a video review where you can clearly see how easy and simple it is to work on the Viking HB 585 walk-behind tractor

Since all models are equipped with 4-stroke engines, the correct oil should be filled in. A lot also depends on the seasonality of the work. Most oils have a viscous structure, so the use of semi-synthetic oils in the cold will not be effective.

Since the cooling system on Viking walk-behind tractors is air, you should monitor its cleanliness. Working on dry soil is of particular danger, as dust penetrates the casing and settles on the nodes and elements of the cultivator.

Main malfunctions and ways to prevent them

As numerous owners of Viking motoblocks have noticed, the most weak point device is a reducer. Despite the fact that it is reliably protected by a metal case, after wet processing or washing, moisture remains in the form of condensate, which is detrimental to parts.

The following video provides an overview of the Viking HB 560 walk-behind tractor:

Do not get upset prematurely, as manufacturers have provided for this option and supply the gearbox with high-quality lubricant, the amount of which is designed for a long operating period. But over time, the lubricant is erased, careless handling also makes its own adjustments, so the gearbox becomes unusable. Unfortunately, this part of the mechanism cannot be repaired and will have to be completely replaced.

Important! Do not leave fuel in the tank after all work on the walk-behind tractor is completed, as after a few days condensate may form in it, which will render the entire fuel system unusable.

If the engine does not start, it is necessary to: check the presence of fuel and spark in the spark plug, clean the air filter and fuel tank.

If the engine is very hot, the reason for this may be the lack of oil, clogging of the ventilation, engine or muffler. In this case, it is necessary to clean the parts and fill with oil.

Taking care of the owners of their equipment will prevent the occurrence of premature breakdowns.

Adhering to the following rules will increase the life of the walk-behind tractor:

• When buying a walk-behind tractor, ask the seller to check the operation of the gearbox and make sure that there is no moisture in it.
• Protect valves.
• It is advisable to store the walk-behind tractor in a dry, warm place at a time when long-term use of the equipment is not expected.
• Check Regularly air filters, which must be clean.
