The easiest and fastest way to choose the right walk-behind tractor and cultivator is to contact the specialists at the GARDENTOOL petrol equipment store who will help you choose and buy a walk-behind tractor (cultivator) in Minsk. In our store you can directly inspect the walk-behind tractor (cultivator) and decide on its choice. But, if you want to get an idea of what walk-behind tractors and cultivators are, you can read the following information.
WHAT IS MOTOBLOK (CULTIVATOR)
Motoblock is a kind of small-sized tractor, a mechanical self-propelled single-axle device with an engine, designed to facilitate a variety of agricultural work.
Cultivator (or motor cultivator) technically it is the same walk-behind tractor, but with less power and weight. The cultivator is intended mainly for preplant preparation and loosening of the earth, and the walk-behind tractor can perform a much wider range of work - its capabilities are limited only by the range of attachments. You can install a plow, mower, hiller, harvesting equipment on it garden paths, irrigation and many other units. Heavy walk-behind tractors are often used to transport goods by hitching a cart to it.
As a rule, for walk-behind tractors, work is carried out due to the traction force created by the wheels, and for cultivators, working tools (milling cutters, lugs, weeders, etc.) are installed instead of wheels. Powerful cultivators in their functionality approach walk-behind tractors.
There are also hand cultivators that are not equipped with a motor. Such units are used for loosening the soil and mechanical weeding of small beds. Their design is extremely varied.
WHAT TO CHOOSE - MOTOBLOK OR CULTIVATOR
When buying a walk-behind tractor or a cultivator, you need to decide on two main parameters - what list of agricultural and other works do you want to perform with their help, and on what area land plot. After all, someone has a plot of 4 acres, and someone has several hectares. Some need only plowing the land, while others also need to loosen, plant, spud, etc.
If we are talking only about tillage - you can limit yourself to a motor cultivator. If the equipment is necessary not only for loosening and hilling, but also for other work (snow removal, transportation of goods, etc.), a walk-behind tractor is needed. Determination of the necessary power device depends on plot area on which you will be working.
When choosing the power of motoblocks and motor cultivators, it is customary to proceed from the area of cultivated land. It should be noted that recommendations different manufacturers walk-behind tractors, farmers on the choice of power walk-behind tractors differ.
For calculation required power unit must be taken into account full size area, but only its cultivated part. It is necessary to take into account all types of work that the purchased unit must perform. Plowing the land with a plow can only be done by a sufficiently powerful walk-behind tractor, the same applies to mechanized harvesting of root crops, such as potatoes. Most models of motor cultivators will not cope with such work. The greater the power reserve of the walk-behind tractor, the longer it will last you - working with overload will greatly reduce its service life. We suggest you study the overview of cultivators.
In large areas, it is more advisable to use more powerful agricultural equipment than walk-behind tractors, although some farmers recommend powerful walk-behind tractors(9 hp) for processing plots up to four to five hectares.
WHAT YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION WHEN BUYING
Reducer
The reliability and service life of all equipment depends on the design of the gearbox. With the help of this device, power is transferred from the motor shaft to the working tools of the cultivator (walk-behind tractor). In light and relatively cheap models, a non-separable version of the gearbox can be installed. If such a gearbox breaks down, it will be impossible to repair it - you will have to buy new equipment.
Engine
Motoblocks (cultivators) engines are conditionally divided into three classes: household (amateur), semi-professional and professional. The main differences between these groups should be sought in power and motor resource (the maximum service life indicated in hours of operation).
Less powerful cultivators are usually equipped with 2-stroke engines, more powerful walk-behind tractors - 4-stroke, and they can be either gasoline or diesel. Two-stroke engines have less power, are significantly noisier and emit more exhaust gases. Four-stroke engines are superior to their two-stroke counterparts in every way, but they are also more expensive.
PTO shaft
The power take-off shaft allows the walk-behind tractor to expand the range of its capabilities and make it more versatile. Namely, it allows you to install units that, due to the engine of the walk-behind tractor, get the opportunity to perform specialized functions in an active rather than static mode. For example: an active potato digger, in addition to simply digging potatoes, is able to beat them off the ground and deliver them to a special conveyor belt. storage. Here are some of the machines that can be used with a PTO: sweeper, seeder, waterer, chipper, chopper, active trailer, mounted mowers, you can easily guess by their name what functions they can add to your walk-behind tractor. The advantages of the power take-off shaft are obvious, however, the cost of such an attachment can often exceed the cost of the walk-behind tractor itself.
Trailer
Some models allow the attachment of a trolley, thus turning into a mini-transporter. Please note that not all walk-behind tractors allow such a modification, because it requires a sufficiently high gear ratio in the gearbox, without which an impromptu road train will move at a speed of 2-3 km / h - be sure to specify this point when buying. A good confirmation that the walk-behind tractor will operate normally with a trolley is that the manufacturer of the walk-behind tractor produces, among other things, additional equipment for this model of walk-behind tractor and cart. It is not at all necessary to buy a cart from the same manufacturer - it is usually sold quite expensive - you can find much more interesting options.
The walk-behind tractor is a multifunctional unit that allows you to significantly facilitate and speed up the implementation of many works on the site. Such a device in the household will become an indispensable assistant. And in order for the walk-behind tractor to effectively and efficiently perform its functions, you need to choose it. Dozens of manufacturers offer a large number of models and it is sometimes very difficult to choose a worthy unit among them, especially for an ordinary buyer.

What is a motoblock? Principle of operation, functions
Motoblock is a self-propelled single-axle unit, which belongs to a variety of small-sized tractors. Designed to replace manual labor in farming. The walk-behind tractor has a large number of functions that are limited only by the attachments that are in service.Traction force, which is created by wheels or caterpillars, is the main condition for the operation of a walk-behind tractor.
Use walk-behind tractor for plowing and hilling small areas agricultural land, lawn mowing, snow removal, transportation of goods in towed trailers.
Most walk-behind tractors have different schemes of aggregate functioning and can be equipped with the following tools (they are purchased separately):
- heavy - with fixed wheels, a plow, a harrow, a cultivator, a cutter driven by a power take-off shaft, a mower, a snow plow, a rake, a bulldozer blade, a semi-trailer;
- medium - with removable wheels and a cutter, a plow, a harrow, a hiller, a mower, a semi-trailer;
- light walk-behind tractor - cutter, hiller.
What is the difference between a walk-behind tractor and a cultivator?
The difference lies primarily in the capacities and functionality of these units. The motoblock occupies an intermediate link between a motorized cultivator and a mini-tractor.At the very beginning of the chain stands, which, as a rule, is used for preparing and loosening the soil. In addition to mechanized models equipped with a motor, there are also manual varieties of cultivators. They are mainly used for loosening and weeding small areas (beds, etc.). For a cultivator, the tool (grouser, cutter, etc.) is the driving axle, which is installed instead of the wheels.
Then comes more powerful unit – cultivator. Previously, it was called a soil cutter, since the unit is poorly equipped with attachments, there are practically none with the exception of one cutter. In terms of strength and mass, it is inferior to the walk-behind tractor, which occupies the next link in this chain.
It can be equipped with a variety of attachments - this is its main difference from previous units. At the same time, it should be noted that some motor cultivators can be close in functionality to motor blocks.
Types of walk-behind tractors, their advantages and disadvantages
The table below shows the types of walk-behind tractors with their main pros and cons.| Unit type | Advantages | disadvantages | general characteristics |
| Motoblock light | Good speed data, effectively cultivates the soil, requires relatively little fuel. | Carries out not very deep plowing of the soil. | Optimal solution for those who work for summer cottages and in LPH. Can control a plow, hiller, other tools and devices. |
| Motoblock average | Power take-off shaft, differential, speed, reliability of nodes. | Relatively high cost, shallow plowing, small working width, lack of power for some attachments. | The most successful balance of cost and functionality. Recommended for small farms. Can be used with many attachments. |
| Motoblock heavy | Efficient and fast work on the processing of areas, uses wide range of mounted, there are diesel modifications. | Enough high prices not only for the unit itself, but also for consumables (fuel, etc.). | It is successfully used both in medium and large farms. |
Motoblocks are also classified according to the type of engine:
- Petrol. The main difference is that the fuel is ignited by a spark of a candle. As a rule, such a unit is bought for processing small plots of land. Its main advantage is its low price. It is lightweight, easy to operate, starts freely in any weather, and does not require large maintenance and repair costs. The power is quite high - 6-9 hp. Less noisy than a diesel unit, and more environmentally friendly in terms of the amount of gas emissions into the atmosphere. Among the shortcomings can be called the use of 92 gasoline.
- Diesel. Glow plugs are used for ignition. The price significantly exceeds its counterparts - and this is with the same power, indicators of tillage, engine rotation speed. This is explained by the fact that such a walk-behind tractor has a high cross-country ability, is able to “work hard” continuously in large and difficult areas, using less fuel, besides, diesel fuel is inferior in cost to AI-92 gasoline. Not by chance diesel unit choose professionals for work on farm fields, and bezin - summer residents.
- With a power take-off shaft (PTO). The difference is versatility. Features a wide range of features that help mechanize manual labor. Such units are involved in planting lawns, various crops, can act as a garbage collector, and perform other communal functions. Most models have 4-stroke single-cylinder engines, as well as PTO mechanisms that allow the use of active attachments through a splined shaft.
Popular manufacturers, as a rule, have launched the production of both gasoline and diesel units.
What to look for when choosing a walk-behind tractor?
When buying a unit, you need to focus on the main parameters: the type of work and the area of the land. Someone needs to plow a garden on three acres, and someone needs to cultivate 1-2 hectares, loosen, plant, hill up. Accordingly, requests should pay attention to the characteristics of the walk-behind tractor.
Reducer
The service life and efficiency of the equipment as a whole will depend on its quality. This device facilitates the transfer of power from the motor shaft to the working units of the unit. light and not expensive models may not have a collapsible gearbox, which means it cannot be repaired.Engine
There is a conditional division of engines into classes:- pro;
- semi-professional;
- household.
PTO
Helps to increase the range of possibilities, makes the unit multifunctional. Thanks to the shaft, equipment is installed that, due to the engine, performs functions in the active mode. For example, it not only throws out potatoes, but also cleans them from the ground and delivers them to a special storage facility via a conveyor.The range of attachments is wide:
- sweeps;
- sows;
- watering;
- cuts;
- grinds;
- mows, etc.
Trailer
Some models have the ability to hook carts, thereby turning the unit into a kind of mini-tractor. This requires good gear ratios in the gearbox - without them, an improvised unit will move no more than 2 km / h. It will be good if the manufacturer of the unit also produces carts.The best models of walk-behind tractors

No. 1. ZiD Favorite (WY 170F)
Optimally balanced, requiring no modifications, the walk-behind tractor is the leader of the Top 10. It belongs to the light type of units, but has a lot of advantages:First of all, when buying a cultivator, pay attention to power. Here you do not need to be guided by the rule "the more powerful the better", the choice should be made based on the area of the cultivated area. An approximate power calculation is as follows:
- Plot up to 15 acres - 3.5 hp
- 15-60 acres - 4 hp
- from 60 acres to 1 hectare - 5 hp
- 1-2 hectares - 6 hp
- 1-5 hectares - 9 hp
Of course, you can buy equipment with a reserve of power, but you risk wasting money if the resource is not used to the fullest.
The second is very important factor, affecting the choice of walk-behind tractor - grip width, that is, what piece of land the machine can process in one capture. This parameter, as well as power, must be selected depending on the area of cultivated land. When choosing, you can be guided by these approximate calculations:
- Plot up to 20 acres - capture width up to 60 cm
- 20-60 acres - 80 cm
- from 60 acres to 1 hectare - 90 cm
- 1-4 hectares - 100cm
Keep in mind that performance depends on this setting. This can be seen in one simple example. If you, having decided to save money, buy the lightest and cheapest walk-behind tractor with a working width of 36 cm (that is, actually 33 cm, because the cutter works with an overlap of 3 cm) for processing a plot of 1 hectare, you will have to make 303 passes with a walk-behind tractor , which is 30.3 km. Agree, not a very bright prospect - it will take a lot of time. In general, when choosing a walk-behind tractor, be sure to consider the area of \u200b\u200bthe site.
Types of motoblocks
Now we will separately consider the types of walk-behind tractors that are on sale. They can be conditionally divided into ultralight, light, medium and heavy.
1. Ultralight walk-behind tractors. They have a weight of up to 20 kg, their power is up to 3 hp. They are perfect for small summer cottages up to 20 acres. Due to its compact size and big weight they are easy to manage - you can easily maneuver on the site. Transportation and storage will also not cause trouble.
The grip width of these units is small - from 25 to 30 cm, this allows you to plow even narrow furrows and cultivate the land in hard-to-reach places. The gripping depth is approximately 8 cm, which means that it is preferable to use this type of walk-behind tractor for pre-treatment.
As a rule, ultralight walk-behind tractors are equipped with a hook-shaped cutter, which allows you to effectively dig up unrooted weeds.
These units are perfect for processing flower beds and beds, they can also be used for work in the greenhouse.
2. 
Light motoblocks. Their weight is up to 40 kg, power varies from 2.5 to 4.5 hp. The grip width of such motor-cultivators is 50-90 cm, the cutter penetrates to a depth of 15-18 cm. Light class motor-blocks are equipped with a four-stroke engine, which ensures high efficiency.
Light models may have different amount revolutions of the cutter and, accordingly, different possibilities. Motoblocks with an indicator of 100-130 rpm are preferably used for cultivation on the “bayonet of a shovel”. Models with 150-180 rpm are used for plowing soil with a thickness of 5 to 10 cm. For tillage before sowing, it is better to use walk-behind tractors 180-200 rpm. For weed control, motor cultivators with 200-200 rpm are recommended. Professional models have 320-350 rpm.
In addition, light walk-behind tractors can be used for hilling the soil and cutting furrows.
3. 
Medium walk-behind tractors. The mass of such units is 60-100 kg. Due to the large weight, vibration during operation is significantly reduced, and it also provides the ability to deeply loosen the soil.
This class of machines has a power of up to 7 hp. Most models are equipped with a transmission, usually with one reverse and two forward speeds. The presence of this function provides convenience of movement and increases maneuverability.
Medium-weight walk-behind tractors have greater functionality - you can pick up various attachments for them to perform various kinds works (hilling, harrowing, digging up root crops, etc.).
4. 
Heavy walk-behind tractors. Professional machines used by farmers and utilities. Their power reaches 16 hp, and their weight is more than 100 kg. They can perform the functions of a mini-tractor - cleaning snow or hay. They can also carry cargo. "Heavyweights" have an extensive component base - attachments for them are presented in a very wide range.
Now consider attachments for a walk-behind tractor.
Its main function is to raise the stale soil layer. A plow for a walk-behind tractor must be used if the land has not been cultivated for a long time. This device raises the layer of earth, forming large clods, so after plowing it is necessary to cultivate the soil. Please note that during operation, the plow must go deep into the ground, this important indicator quality.
In fact, it is a V-shaped plow. In addition to hilling, it is used for cutting furrows. There are three types of hillers - fixed-width, variable-width and disc.
This attachment for a walk-behind tractor greatly simplifies the collection of potatoes without damaging the tubers. The principle of operation of the potato digger is as follows: the device lifts pieces of soil, it crumbles, and the potatoes are separated.
Used to cut grass. There are two types of mowers: rotary and knife. The former are more productive, but they are less safe to use. The latter are more maneuverable and can be used even between the beds.
This adaptation is necessary in order to better provide the soil with moisture and oxygen. The principle here is as follows: many small holes are pierced in the ground - this contributes to the saturation of the soil with oxygen, fertilizer and moisture even in the deep layers, at the roots of plants.
Rotary brush
Allows you to use the walk-behind tractor as a machine for cleaning snow or small debris.
bulldozer knife
Allows you to remove snow, earth or move small mounds. It works like a bulldozer.
Allows for good grip on the ground. Often used for small machines.
It is used to transport goods weighing, as a rule, from 250 to 550 kilograms (carrying capacity depends on the model). For the convenience of the operator, the trolley is equipped with a seat.
Please note that attachments must be selected for each specific model of walk-behind tractor. Before buying, make sure that the fixture can be installed on your model.
