Wagon mower

This type of mower can be used in summer for mowing grass, and in winter for clearing snow from sidewalks. This model has a rather complicated design. It contains a pair of drums, which are connected by a frame and a transport tape, on which there are special hooks.

Pipes are welded for the bed. Then wheels and plywood are installed on it, tin can be used instead. The mower has a size of 800x400 mm.

Cans of large diameter can be used as drums. You need to cut both bottoms. Wooden circles are installed instead. Install the drums in pairs and fasten the cutting surfaces to the bottom, four pieces each.

When installing them, you need to leave a gap of 1 mm, for free rotation. Then install the assembled drums on the frame. Between themselves, they need to be connected with a transport tape, which can be made from a piece of rubber.

Rotary mower

The rotary mower for the Neva walk-behind tractor is designed for mowing grass, shrubs that have a stem up to 1 cm in diameter. The cut grass is located on the surface in even rows, which simplifies its collection and drying. Due to its small size and compactness, the equipment is easy to transport.

Motoblocks and are aggregated with mounted rotary mowers from the front, from the drive of the units through a V-belt.

The rotary mower is available in two versions:

• with 1 disc;
• with 2 discs.

Both options are suitable for Neva walk-behind tractors.

Rotary attachments are widespread among farmers, because. copes with a large amount of work and perfectly tolerates complex irregularities on the surface.

Single Disc Rotary Mower

A rotary mower with 1 disc is represented by the KR-05 model, specially released (St. Petersburg) for the Neva walk-behind tractor.

The design of the model is compact, simple, consists of 1 large disc, which allows you to maneuver and mow grass, shrubs in difficult places.

Rotary mower KR-05 has the following specifications:

1. The speed of movement is 2-4 km / h.
2. Productivity - 0.15 ha / h.
3. Capture width — 560 mm.
4. Disc rotation speed - 2500 rpm.
5. The mowing height is 1000 mm.
6. The weight of the machine is 30 kg.
7. Machine dimensions - 700x700x680 mm.

The mower is suitable for the Neva motor-block (MB-2, MB), Kadvi, Oka.

Advantages of the KR-05 model:

• compactness;
• mobility;
• ease of use;
• simplicity of design;
• high security;
• easy installation on a walk-behind tractor;
• high maneuverability;
• affordable price.

From user feedback, it is clear that it is not as efficient as a 2-disc mower, but in terms of maneuverability and work in confined spaces, it is in the lead.

Double Disc Rotary Mower

For mowing coarse-stemmed, grassy vegetation, grain crops, small shrubs over large areas, a hinged mechanism with 2 disks is more often used. It works effectively on a flat surface without obstacles: trees, pits, hills, fences. It works worse on bumps, harder to operate, but farmers also use it on small plots, roadsides, slopes with a slight lateral slope and steepness.

The cut grass is laid evenly in individual rows, dried naturally and collected.

For the Neva walk-behind tractor, a Zarya rotary mower with 2 discs is used, the manufacturer of which is OJSC Kaluga Engine.

The principle of operation of the mower for the Neva walk-behind tractor is simple.

There are 4 knives on the discs, which are attached with cotter pins. When the disks rotate towards each other, a centrifugal force is created that pushes the knives out. The cutting blades work as long as the engine of the walk-behind tractor is running.

Mowing with 2 discs greatly increases the mowing area. For Zarya, it is 80 cm and is an excellent indicator.

Adjustment of height of mowing of a grass is carried out by means of special skids.

Dawn for the Neva walk-behind tractor has the following characteristics:

1. Machine dimensions - 810x930x780 mm.
2. Weight - 33 kg.
3. Processing width - 800 mm.
4. Operating speed - 2.87 km / h.
5. Mowing height - up to 1000 mm.
6. Productivity - 0.2 ha / h.
7. The rotational speed of the cutting disc is 2370-2635 rpm.
8. Adjustable cutting height - 3-10 cm.

The disadvantages of the Zarya rotary hinged mechanism are as follows:

1. The need for a thorough check of the device before starting. Incorrect fastening of knives can lead to increased injury.
2. Constant movement control.
3. The presence of restrictions on mowed grass. It should be up to 1 m and upright.

According to user reviews, the Zarya mower is distinguished by its quality, reliability, and trouble-free operation.

Rotary mower KR 05

It remains the only option for mounting on the Neva walk-behind tractor. Setting up the mower, its installation are extremely simple operations: it is immediately ready for work. It is based on a single cutting blade-disc covered with a protective screen. This design allows you to protect the worker from flying twigs, stones, which often come across in the grass. Even a schoolboy can handle connecting to a walk-behind tractor, there is nothing complicated about it.

Specifications

The following is a brief summary of the main technical indicators of the KR 05 rotary mower for Neva walk-behind tractors:

• weight - 30 kg;
• dimensions - 70 (height) × 70 (width) × 70 cm (length);
• working speed of movement (average) - 2-4 km / h;
• productivity - 0.1-0.15 ha / h;
• knife installation height - 4 cm;
• the dangerous zone of rotation of the rotor is about 60 cm.

When operating a mower with a Neva walk-behind tractor, special attention should be paid to the knives, the performance and service life of the equipment depend on them. In this model, the cutting rotor is made of high quality carbon steel, hardened and factory sharpened. The result is an inexpensive and practical tool that allows you to cut not only grass, but also small shrubs. Of course, over time, knives become dull, but they lend themselves well to sharpening at home. To do this, you need to disassemble the mower by removing its lower part, unscrew the rotor and replace it with a new one (or sharpen it and then put it in place).

Features of the rotary model

Rotary mowers have a simple design, which facilitates their maintenance and repair. The working bodies are disks on which knives are mounted. They are fixed on the disks with the help of movable hinges. Disks can be from one to several. The more working disks, the wider the area of ​​the processed surface.

Mower knives

The price of spare parts and components is low. Spare parts for our models of rotary mowers can be purchased at any specialized store. Imported models no older than 10 years are serviced no worse. Mowers older than 10 years of imported production may not have spare parts, as some models are no longer produced.

The owner of a rotary mower can easily ennoble the lawn in front of the house and store grass for the winter for livestock. A small model is convenient for a walk-behind tractor when cleaning areas around fruit trees and garden beds.

Rotary mowers are produced here, as well as abroad. Among the largest and most popular models, mowers for the Neva, Zarya, Krot, Favorit walk-behind tractors stand out. Models differ in the number of working bodies and adjustment of the height of the grass cut. For harvesting grass for animal feed, you can use models with a height of up to 20 cm; in the local area, mowers with a cutting height of 5 cm have shown themselves well.

The rotary mower is aggregated with the Favorit, Krot, Neva motoblocks in several ways:

1. Front - hinged;
2. Behind - trailer.

Reviews are better about mounted models for the Neva and Cascade, Krot, Favorit walk-behind tractors. Their power is higher and it is easier to work with a walk-behind tractor, since the entire cultivated area is visible.

According to the method of mowing grass, rotary mowers are divided into types:

1. For mowing grass and laying in an even row. Suitable for mowing grass for hay.
2. Mulching grass. Chopped grass rots quickly, suitable for lawn treatment.

Weighted model of the Zarya mower

When choosing a model for your Neva, Salyut, Zorya, Favorit, Krot walk-behind tractor, it is recommended to consider the following factors:

landscape features. Purpose of purchase (for mowing grass for hay for livestock or for leveling the lawn in front of the house). The weight of the mower (important when transporting, as it is difficult to transport a large model). Productivity (for a small lawn, the smallest mower with low power is enough). Type of grass cutting (models that mulch grass are not suitable for harvesting hay for livestock feed).

How to make a rotary mower with your own hands

The rotary mower is selected taking into account the characteristics of the cultivated land. Models for walk-behind tractors and minitractors differ in transportation methods, dimensions, and functionality. No matter which rotary lawn mower is designed for mowing grass.

Wagon mower

Equipment of this type is usually aggregated with heavy walk-behind tractors equipped with water cooling systems. Mower-carts are provided for large-scale work - cutting large and thick weeds and shrubs in large quantities, large hay preparations. From time to time, the design is equipped with a rake, which greatly simplifies the assembly of mowed grass. As with other types of designs, there are skids for adjusting the cutting height.

General information

Mounted mowers designed for walk-behind tractors are divided into two modifications: rotary and segment. If a person has not previously used such units, he may have difficulty in choosing.

In this regard, we decided to make a brief overview of each type, and highlight the main advantages and disadvantages.

Rotary mower

This is a simple design, which consists of two rotating disks. It is in high demand among farmers due to its relatively low cost.

Please note that due to the design features, rotary models are suitable for relatively flat surfaces. The maximum allowable deviation is up to 20 degrees.

Among the advantages of such models stands out good performance, ease of maintenance and repair. In addition, rotary mowers lay the bevel in windrows, which greatly simplifies further cleaning and drying.

Rotary mower

The disadvantages include a high risk of injury. Rotating blades do not have side guards and serious injury can result if safety precautions are not followed. In addition, rotating elements receive mechanical damage when they collide with stones or tree rhizomes.

Segment mower

In appearance, it resembles a fat saw. During operation, the elements perform reciprocating movements, ensuring maximum removal of vegetation.

The required force is transmitted from the motor block motor shaft. Unlike the previous model, segment mowers have a wider coverage - up to 1.1 meters.

In addition, the equipment is suitable for processing areas of various areas and terrain. Among the advantages, one can single out an emergency shutdown mechanism, tilt adjustment and the absence of vibration during operation.

Segment mower

The product also has a lot of drawbacks. This includes the high price of the mower, the difficulty in repair, large dimensions and structural weight.

Knowing these features, you can choose the right model of attachments for yourself. If you don’t want to spend money on purchasing factory models, we’ll tell you how to make a do-it-yourself mower for a walk-behind tractor.

Rotary mowers and their price

We recommend buying a rotary mower for farmers who need to mow deadwood with a diameter of less than 100 mm, dense vegetation or tough sunflower or corn residues. But the rotary model will also cope with the care of the lawn or a small area in the garden. It is aggregated to the drive of the Neva walk-behind tractor from the front or by a trailed method. Trailer mulch grass, so they are not suitable for farmers who need to harvest grass for hay.

The work of the rotary mower is carried out from the belt shaft of the walk-behind tractor. Suitable for Neva walk-behind tractors on gasoline and diesel running, as in the video. For fastening to the latter, a special adapter is included in the package. Among the various rotary mowers for the Neva, the Kaluga Zarya and the St. Petersburg KR-05 stand out. Depending on the modification, rotary mowers have 1-2 working disks, KR - 05 has working body 1, Zarya has 2 disks. 4 knives are fixed on the disk by means of a movable swivel joint. The movable cotter pin when the disc moves allows the knives to turn around under the influence of centrifugal force and they cut the grass. At Zarya, the discs rotate towards each other, the width of the lawn is larger. The design of the rotary model is located on special skids, they allow you to adjust the height of the grass cut with a simple movement. Mowed vegetation is distributed in even shafts on two sides and is easy to collect with pitchforks.

Working with a rotary mower is simple, but once a day it is necessary to unwind the corner joints and coat the gears with lithol or machine oil. With proper care, equipment will last longer.

Consider the popular segment models for the Neva walk-behind tractor in more detail in the video and photo. In the video below you can see how the equipment works in the field and along the road.

Rotary "Dawn"

The official manufacturer of the Zarya rotary mower - Kadvi - is located in Kaluga. But there are many home-made and Chinese models on the market, made according to the schemes of the Kaluga Engine manufacturer. Outwardly, they differ only in color - in the Kaluga "Dawn" it is bright red, as in the video. But this is not the main difference. Chinese quality is worse, as low-quality material is used for manufacturing.

The official "Dawn" for the Neva walk-behind tractor proved to be good in use. Chinese and homemade mowers are just fakes, although among them you can find models of acceptable quality.

Characteristics of the Zarya mower for the Neva walk-behind tractor and the price of analogues and licensed equipment in the table:

You can buy cheaper directly from the manufacturer in Kaluga. The retail price is 10-15% higher and it is more profitable to buy in bulk. Spare parts from the domestic model are suitable for all Chinese counterparts, therefore, in some cases, you can not overpay. The price of used equipment starts from 5,000 rubles, but we do not recommend purchasing equipment older than 10 years.

Rotary mower KP-05

Officially, KP-05 is produced in St. Petersburg at the Krasny Oktyabr plant. The model is official for the Neva walk-behind tractor MB-1 and MB-2. It is impossible to find exact analogues on the market, but there are similar low-quality mowers. Many years of experience and advanced technologies have allowed the manufacturer to develop an optimal, functional and small rotary mower KP-05. More details of the model at work, the reader can see on the video.

The weight of the equipment is less than that of the Zarya model, so KP-05 is convenient for summer residents and farmers with small personal plots. Copes with any remains of cultivated plants, shrubs, stiff and dense grass. The power of the crumbs is sufficient to cope with tough vegetation.

KP-05 is used on an uneven surface, since the working body in the form of a large disk easily adapts to any irregularities. The mower is not afraid of small stones and branches. Around the disc is a metal casing that protects the operator from small particles of stones and vegetation.

Mower for walk-behind tractor - step by step instructions for manufacturing

The use of small equipment in agriculture greatly simplifies the hard work of the farmer and saves time. The mower is a hanging equipment for a walk-behind tractor. Depending on the variety, with its help you can get rid of weeds, any unnecessary vegetation on the site, prepare hay, cut the meadow in front of the house. The design of such equipment is ordinary, its assembly is within the power of everyone. Therefore, many people prefer to make the unit without the help of other parts available on the farm.

In order to choose the right equipment, you need to find its need and scope of work. Based on this, according to the technical features, find a suitable type of mower. For independent production, the front type is suitable, in which the cutting part is placed in front.

There are two main types of mowers. They are excellent not only in appearance, but also in features in work and purpose.

The rotary mower is used when mowing not only grass and shrubs, but also other vegetation on the field. It is able to manage its own task both in large areas and in small ones, it is applicable both on a farm and in a country house. Its 2nd title is disk. It connects to the walk-behind tractor in several ways:

• hinged;
• semi-mounted;
• trailed.

In turn, the knives of the suspended mower are placed either in front, or on the side, or behind.

The design is light - several disks with a sharp cutting surface, coupled with a support wheel, are mounted on one frame. The wheel drives discs with knives, they cut the vegetation.

The more disks are fixed on the axial frame, the huge area can be processed immediately.

The main disadvantage of a rotary mower is an increased risk of injury. Discs provide protection from above. But if for some reason the knives unscrew, then, having a huge rotation speed, they will fly to the side, as a result of which there is a possibility of injury.

A segmented mower for connecting to a walk-behind tractor is a frame with bars on which knives are fixed. In the process of reciprocating movements, they mow the grass. The cutting elements are mobile, they repeat the convexity of the soil, regardless of the difficulty, because the vegetation is cut "at the root". Advantages of a segmented mower over a rotary mower:

• 1. Works with both weeds and tall vegetation with thick trunks.
• 2. Used as a haymaker.
• 3. Ease of operation, repairs are required very rarely.
• 4. The ability to install the mower on the side or behind the walk-behind tractor - during operation, already mowed grass is not affected.
• 5. The knives are installed in a very balanced way, because the structure does not actually vibrate, it is easy to hold and control.

The disadvantages are the huge size and weight. It is difficult to manage, and for small areas, a segment mower is completely unsuitable.

It is not difficult even for a newcomer to design both rotary and segment mowers with their own hands. Specialists do not recommend assembling a massive front structure - it requires a wide knowledge of mechanics and the presence of a huge number of articulated parts and devices.

It is even easier to design small devices of the usual configuration, but according to the rotary or segmental principle. To create such structures, special equipment and mechanisms will not be needed.

The manufacture of any mechanism begins with a drawing. If there is no specialized knowledge, it will not work to draw without the help of others, you will have to learn ready-made ones.

The drawings should contain not only the appearance of the parts, but also their dimensions, methods of fastening to each other.

Step-by-step annotation of the construction of a rotary mower:

• 1. Pick up the details of the mechanism. You will need disks (2 pcs.) - taken from any other faulty or outdated mechanism; gear chain - remove from the chainsaw; reducer; knives (for 1 disk 4 pieces x 65 gr.) - hardened steel.
• 2. The axle is taken from carbon steel (size 1 cm in diameter).
• 3. Holes are drilled on the disks with a drill (4 pcs.), Knives are fixed in them with the help of a shank and a plowshare. Between the blade and the shank leave a space 2 mm more than the thickness of the blade. Knives have an angle of rotation of 360 °.
• 4. The frame is welded independently according to the drawing.
• 5. Discs with knives are fixed to the frame and connected to the walk-behind tractor drive. To do this, use gears with a gearbox from a VAZ.
• 6. A protective element is installed on the electronic drive.
• 7. They check - the disks with knives should rotate towards each other, so the plants will lie down in even rows.

The structure assembled according to this annotation occasionally needs repair or some additional maintenance.

The segmented suspended structure is made and assembled independently quite easily. For her take the following parts and tools:

• electronic drill;
• iron bars - length 1 m 20 cm;
• welding machine;
• Bulgarian;
• bolts/nuts.

Assembly step by step:

• 1. Holes are drilled in iron bars (12 pcs.), Bolt size M 8.
• 2. On the guide axle (89 cm), bars with teeth and knives are fixed.
• 3. Slides and clamps are installed at both ends of the axle.
• 4. A wheel is fixed from below (suitable for a stroller).
• 5. The mechanism is connected to the walk-behind tractor.

Both rotary and segment mechanisms, assembled and connected without the help of others, are great for subsequent models of walk-behind tractors equipped with a power take-off shaft: Mole, Cascade, MTZ, Zarya, Neva, Salyut, Centaur, MB - 1 and 2, Bison, Ural and rest.

It is not enough to simply design a device. In principle, it is correct to attach it and connect it to the walk-behind tractor. Do these actions in the following order:

• 1. The walk-behind tractor is switched to reverse mode, the mower is packed in a casing for safety. The kingpin, designed to lock the assembly for connection, must certainly be equipped with a spring.
• 2. Fix the tensioner (belt) from the completed structure.
• 3. The pulley located on the mower is put on the upper clutch. It is important to make sure that the front part of the hub is oriented towards the flange of the tensioner.
• 4. Screw fasten all available parts.
• 5. Secure the mower by putting on the tension strap. Fix it with pins.
• 6. Attach an apron to the walk-behind tractor. He will not let the weed get on the owner.

There are recognized safety tips that even specialists are not recommended to bully:

• 1. When working with a mower (homemade or factory), it is often necessary to take breaks for a technical inspection of the mechanism. Fasteners and a tension belt require special attention.
• 2. If there is a need to replace a part or a complete structure, the entire mechanism should be de-energized.
• 3. When working, wear special clothing and goggles.
• 4. If the front or side mower is running, it is only bypassed from behind.
• 5. Do not increase the speed, it will affect the quality.
• 6. Do not touch the cutting elements even in the off state, only the de-energized mechanism.

The final step is to test the mower in small terrain and at the lowest speed by engaging the clutch. Before work, all loads are removed, so the performance of the motor increases, it does not overheat.

With self-assembly of the structure, the main thing is to comply with safety measures. All parts are firmly fixed, because the mower is a means of an overestimated threat. Therefore, if the ability to control the mechanisms is not enough, it is more reliable to purchase ready-made outboard equipment.

Homemade designs

Given that there are several varieties of mowers, we present several options for home-made designs. Let's start with a simpler rotary version.

The rotary mower is used for mowing tall grasses. Such a model does not mow small shoots, but grinds. To make this model, you will need two disks. These will be the rotors on which the cutting elements are fixed.

Homemade mowing equipment for walk-behind tractor

For rotors, it is better to use hardened metal discs. Four knives are installed on each rotor. Please note that the knives must rotate around their axis by 360 degrees. Therefore, calculate the ratio of the mounting holes in the rotor and the length of the cutting elements.

The knives are attached to the discs by means of a shank. The distance from the plane of the knife to the shank should be slightly greater than the thickness of the cutting element. Such a scheme will provide the knives with free rotation due to centrifugal force, and will prevent mechanical damage to the elements in a collision with a solid object.

The rotors are mounted on shafts made of high carbon steel. The shafts themselves are mounted on a welded frame, and aggregated to the walk-behind tractor by means of a power take-off shaft. Please note that the rotors must rotate towards each other, this will allow the bevel to be formed into swaths.

A homemade segmental mower is made somewhat more complicated. You will need a metal bar, about 120 centimeters long. Here, at equal distances, you need to drill holes for the mounting bolts.

By means of threaded connections, a guide rail (length 90 cm) and knives are installed. The cutting elements are installed bilaterally, on both sides of the bar. Skids and clamps are installed on the base. The mower is powered by a walk-behind tractor engine, the force is transmitted through the power take-off shaft.

Homemade segment mower

Please note that mowers, homemade or factory, must be able to be connected to a walk-behind tractor. It is done like this:

• The walk-behind tractor switches to reverse mode.
• Before connecting the power take-off shaft, a docking unit is installed in the coupling connector.
• After installing the PTO, the clutch is fixed with a pin equipped with a spring. Please note that the presence of a spring is mandatory, otherwise the hitch may not withstand the loads.

Please note that the wheel pairs of walk-behind tractors have weighting elements that provide reliable grip when cultivating the ground. When mowing the grass, the loads can be removed, this will remove the load from the engine, and the productivity will increase accordingly.

Please note that when manufacturing a rotary mower, you need to install protective covers

When mowing grass, loads can be removed, this will relieve the load from the engine, and productivity will increase accordingly. Please note that when manufacturing a rotary mower, protective covers must be installed.

Consider a model made for the Neva motor block and similar models. From a seeder we use two disks, and from a chain saw. chain and gearbox. One blade requires four knives. They are made from hardened metal. To install them, holes are drilled on each disc with a carbide drill with a diameter of six millimeters. Using shinku, we fix the knives on the disks. Also keep a gap between the knife and the chopper, which is 1-2 mm larger than the thickness of the knife itself.

Thanks to this centrifugal force, during rotation, the knives will be distributed from the disk, and they will mow the grass. In this case, the ability to rotate the knives 360 degrees must be preserved, which is done to ensure that the knives are more secure when they collide with something hard.

How to connect a homemade mower to the engine block

The hand mower assembly does not produce the desired result if it is not correctly attached to the engine block. When installing a lawn mower, certain rules must be observed.

First of all, you need to move the tractor in reverse mode. Before connecting to the PTO, the connecting unit is placed in the hitch. Using a pin with a spring, it is necessary to stop the connection. The absence of a spring will cause a malfunction of the rear mechanism.

For more must be covered with a protective cover. Motorcycle wheels contain weights that help in growing the soil. Since they are not needed for mowing grass, they should be removed. Mowing the mower should start at minimum speed. In the corners, do not rush and do them smoothly. If you have assembled a mower for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands, first of all, its operation must be safe.

When the home lawn mower has been connected to the motor unit and it is running, a fairly high blade speed with knives is achieved. In the event of a breakdown uphill, you may be injured by yourself or people around you. Therefore, first consider whether you have sufficient skills to create such a device. It is much cheaper to buy a complete mower for a motor block than drugs and treatment for damaged organs or nerves.

Characteristics

The mower for a walk-behind tractor is a mechanized device connected to the power take-off shaft of the unit by means of a belt drive. The device is easy to use, easy to mount on a walk-behind tractor, quite maintainable, has no problems with spare parts and does not require special maintenance. In addition, the mower is convenient for transportation and does not take up much space when stored. Due to the well-thought-out design and the absence of complex components and assemblies, the device rarely breaks down and has a long service life.

Despite the fact that the mower is a narrow profile device, its scope is quite wide. The device is used for mowing weeds, removing beet and potato tops before harvesting the root crops themselves, as well as for harvesting feed for cattle and leveling the lawn in the yard or on the site. In addition, with the help of a mower, you can harvest cereals, cut small shrubs and cultivate an area heavily overgrown with weeds.

In the modern market of small agricultural machinery, mowers are presented in a wide range. This greatly facilitates the choice of the desired model and allows you to purchase both an expensive multifunctional device and very simple budget items. The cost of new mowers starts from 11 thousand rubles, while a used unit can be bought for only 6-8 thousand rubles. For more serious samples of new technology, you will have to pay about 20 thousand rubles, and when buying the same model, but with a small operating time - about 10-12 thousand rubles. In any case, buying even a new model will cost much less than the cost of the popular Czech MF-70 mower, the price of which reaches 100 thousand rubles.

What is a segment mower

This is a device designed for hanging on mini-tractors and walk-behind tractors, which got its name due to the cutting elements - they are presented in the form of large and sharp triangles. This lawn mower can be used for mowing hard and soft grass and stubble. It copes with mowing both on a flat area and on a complex terrain of fields. The cutting elements evenly cut vegetation even in heavily overgrown areas.

Segment mower on the drawing

Segment mowers for walk-behind tractors have a relatively simple design. Due to this, they break less often and do not require special knowledge from the operator. The segment device consists of a frame and cutting elements fixed between a pair of bars. Knives, making translational movements from the drive, cut vegetation like scissors. One segment of the mower with cutting fingers moves constantly (left and right), while the second remains stationary.

Due to the streamlined device, cut stems are evenly distributed on both sides of the walk-behind tractor. The segmental design is located on wheels. It is attached to the MTZ mini-tractor or walk-behind tractor in front. Along the edges are special skids that make it possible to adjust the mowing height. Such a mower is not suitable for working on large tracts, but it can tidy up a suburban area and store hay in a private courtyard.

Segment mower with walk-behind tractor

The difference between a segmented mower and a rotary mower lies in its working body, i.e. fingers. Due to its design, such a device is suitable for working in areas with difficult terrain. The deviation of the knife part in relation to the walk-behind tractor can reach 20%. With such a mower, you can mow grass with a stem thickness of up to 2-3 cm.

Segment mowers for MTZ

One of the types of frontal mowers are segment devices that do an excellent job of mowing any grass on various surfaces. Such a mower can be used for mowing vegetation even on hilly terrain, as the design allows you to freely go around all obstacles. The grass is cut at the root, so it can also be used to eliminate weeds.

According to the method of fastening, they distinguish:

• Front, when the three-strand pulley is activated;
• Rear, when using PTO and adapter.

Mowers are characterized by a simple design and low maintenance requirements. The basis is a rigid frame, to which bars with knives are attached, working on the principle of scissors. One row is stationary, while the other rotates and thereby cuts the blades of grass.

Maintenance

According to the standard, the state of operation of the equipment is checked every 5 hours of operation. If the intensity is higher, then you also need to check more often. Service times for different options:

• when running the walk-behind tractor, the mower is installed and checked for proper operation;
• with prolonged downtime of equipment;
• when replacing any parts (most often problem areas are discs with knives and belts, less often a gearbox system);
• annual inspection and full maintenance.

If there was a change in the walk-behind tractor of important elements, then you will have to attach the mower and look at the serviceability of the whole process with work. In such a case, it is necessary not to use intensive operation or long-term operation.

During a routine technical inspection, the tightening of the fasteners, the frame for cracks and chips, the condition and tension of all types of belts, as well as the sharpening of knives and their freedom of rotation are checked.

Do not forget about the maintenance of this mower

Every 50 hours of normal operation, the oil is checked and replaced. If the operation is carried out in difficult or difficult conditions, then it is advisable to check the oil every 25-30 hours.

Litol-24 is often used as a lubricant. The rotary gearbox has a need of 100 cubic centimeters, and the upper and lower gearboxes at angles of 50 each.

Lubrication in angular gearboxes is changed with their complete removal in conjunction with the drive system from the driven pulley. After pouring, they are installed back. The rotary gearbox has the need to unscrew the castellated nut. After that, you will need to remove the closure and the rotor. Next, the four bolts are unscrewed, and the spring-type washers are removed. Only after the procedure, the gearbox cover is removed and oil is poured. After pouring, reassembly is performed.

The main failures are the wear of the belts. This is due to incorrect tension. In the absence of the required experience, the best option is to contact a specialist or service center.

For Favorit, a rotary version of the mower from the KP series is used. The most advanced option is considered to be KP 3, which has all the qualities that allow you to perform any amount of work with proper maintenance. It must be remembered that technical inspection and oil changes should be carried out regularly, as this will allow you not to worry about problems. After any repair, the equipment must again be set to all settings that correspond to the characteristics specified in the instructions.

Design features

Devices manufactured by different companies may differ in external and some technical data. The principle of operation of such units is identical and dictates an integral list of key blocks included in the design.

Standard rotor scythe is made of:

• frames;
• stretcher;
• balancing mechanism;
• cutting apparatus;
• field divider;
• traction fuse;
• racks;
• cutterbar protection.

Frame - an element designed to attach the nozzle to the walk-behind tractor. It has two axes facing the sides. One of them serves to fix the frame on the lower rods of the drive unit. The second is attached to the thrust overload fuse, which is held by bolts and two nuts. An element with a bracket will be attached to the frame, which allows you to install a subframe.

The subframe is a welded part that connects the frame and the cutting element. It consists of a rectangular body. On one side, a tube with bushings embedded in it is welded. In the middle there are "ears" designed for attaching transport traction and a device that adjusts the height. A bracket protrudes from the side, on which the traction fuse is attached. The drive itself and the protection of the belt drive are fixed on the subframe.

The balancing mechanism is designed to ensure that the cutting unit follows the terrain. Thus, the best mowing of vegetation is achieved. With the help of this mechanism, the mower is also transferred to the transport mode. Its adjustment is carried out by special tension bolts.

The cutting unit is cutting. Its body is an all-welded crankcase. The cutting elements rest on the ground by means of a special pallet installed from below. The cutting device can have several rotors on its body. In the motoblock modification, there are usually two of them. The rotors are equipped with two knives. The transmission of mechanical force from the motor to the knives occurs through a belt drive, gear units, a series of shafts and gears.

The field divider helps to separate the cut and uncut grass. It consists of a shield, a spring and bolt fasteners. The spring mechanism allows the divider to move back at the moment of overflowing with cut vegetation.

During mowing, the cutting unit may encounter an obstacle. To avoid damage in this situation, the rotary mower is equipped with a traction fuse. Using this node, the scythe can deviate from the working position up to the moment set by the user.

The stand helps to keep the mounted unit in a comfortable position at the time of its attachment to the walk-behind tractor.

The knives of the unit rotate at high speed. For the safety of the person using the equipment, they are placed in a protective casing. It can be made of light metal or tarpaulin.

Various modifications of rotary mowers may differ in the presence of certain parts. Some of them you can buy, while others you can make yourself.

How to make a rotary mower with your own hands

The rotary mower is selected taking into account the characteristics of the cultivated land. Models for walk-behind tractors and minitractors differ in transportation methods, dimensions, and functionality. No matter which rotary lawn mower is designed for mowing grass.

Model range of units

A rotary mower for a walk-behind tractor can be presented in the form of the following models:

• "Dawn". installed with a gearbox and additional fasteners. The device is used for mowing grass, small shrubs and cereals. The width of the structure is 70-80 cm. As needed, the device is used in the processing of rocky soil;

Additional work

To improve the walk-behind tractor, you can make an adapter without the help of others. This small trailer does the functions of a cab with the possibility of mounting a suspended rotary mower. The walk-behind tractor is controlled by turning the handles. Before creating an adapter, the length of the handlebar is taken into account. The axle of the trailer is made from parts of the sidecar suspension from the bike. Specialists advise to make an axis from an iron corner 40x40x2 in size. To strengthen the adapter, square pipes are welded.

A homemade rotary mower for a mini tractor is made by hand using old steel batteries and a barrel. The device consists of cutting parts, casing and frame. The rotary mower slides on the ground with the lower discs.

In the photo Do-it-yourself mower for a walk-behind tractor

To make a frame, use corners of 40 cm. The unit is equipped with knives from an old rotary mower. If the Polish model is used, then you need to reproach it by 3 cm. Otherwise, there will not be enough traction from the minitractor.

From an iron sheet 4 mm wide, 2 disks with a diameter of 39 cm are cut out. Knives are fixed to them (they should spin freely). In the process of movement, under the influence of centrifugal force, the cutting elements will mow the grass.

For the production of lower supports, discs from a cultivator are used (diameter 45 cm). Shafts can be made from an iron pipe with a diameter of 30 mm. The device is equipped with 2 bearings:

• the first is installed in the pipe;
• 2nd. into the welded pulley.

A disk and knives are put on the shaft. The pulleys are welded to the pipe. The acquired design allows you to capture a section with a width of 110-115 cm. With all this, the shaft revolution is equal to 1400. A casing is installed on the device. It is recommended to install a bearing at the junction of the mower with a minitractor in order to extend the life of the belt. To simplify the design, specialists recommend welding the lower disk to the frame. The speed of the unit. 10 km/h With all this, grass is cut 5 cm high. The purchased rotary mower is used for harvesting corn.

Classification

Note that various types of structures are known, and their list is not limited to the three listed. However, it is the rotary and segment type mowers, as well as the “carriage” type, that are not only the most popular, but are also easily available for assembly at home. Each type of construction has its own characteristics and its own advantages and disadvantages, which are significant in some working conditions and insignificant in others.

Rotary

Equipment of this type is intended primarily for cutting weeds and thin shrubs. Having a rotary-type device on the farm, you can effortlessly remove grass over large areas. The second name of this mower is a disc mower, since the design of the device involves discs, inside of which moving knives are located. The number of disks varies depending on the design, but usually there are two or three. Installing a rotary mower on a walk-behind tractor usually involves front mounting, but there are varieties of disc devices that are mounted on the side or rear, being semi-trailed or trailed.

The principle of operation of this equipment involves the transmission of torque from the support wheel to the discs. The discs themselves are mounted on a frame supported by skids. Thanks to the same slide, the cutting height of plants can also be adjusted. The disks are arranged in a row, and the more of them, the wider the capture band. Such mowers are used both on pastures and on large garden farms.

Segment

The design of the segment mower is extremely simple. It includes a frame and bars fixed on it (as a rule, there are two of them). Between the bars are placed knives that perform reciprocating movements according to the principle of scissors. Moreover, the work of the segments alternates - while one is in motion, the other is stationary. Grass cutting is carried out quickly and evenly, and the design features of the device allow it to be successfully used for mowing on surfaces with difficult terrain.

The frame is placed on support wheels, which makes it possible to place it both frontally and behind the walk-behind tractor. As with the rotary type, the design includes skids that allow you to adjust the cutting height of the grass. Thanks to the peculiarities of the principle of operation, devices of this type cope well with weeds with thick stems, successfully mow dry plants and are very effective in harvesting green fodder.

One of the main advantages that users note is the availability, ease of use of devices of this type and rather rare breakdowns. However, segment mowers also have disadvantages. These include low productivity, in addition, equipment of this type is not very suitable for mowing low plants.

Wagon mower

Equipment of this type is usually aggregated with heavy walk-behind tractors equipped with water cooling systems. Carriage mowers are designed for large-scale work - cutting large quantities of tall and thick weeds and shrubs, large hay harvesting. Sometimes the design is equipped with a rake, which greatly simplifies the assembly of mowed grass. As with other types of designs, there are skids for adjusting the cutting height.

How to properly install a mower on a walk-behind tractor

Versatility. distinctive feature of motoblocks. They will help to do a huge number of various works that owners of summer cottages and rural houses have to face. The implementation of various functions to your liking is provided by countless devices for a walk-behind tractor. Plowing, hilling, planting and harvesting potatoes and other root crops, weeding, grass mowing. these are only the main works that these functional machines, indispensable in personal subsidiary plots, have to do.

The first thing to do ahead of time before plowing with a walk-behind tractor is to install the necessary equipment at this address. iron wheels with lugs, hitch and plow.

Iron wheels serve to ensure the grip of the walk-behind tractor with the ground; in their absence, it will not develop the traction force necessary to pull the plow. Good wheel sizes for plowing are the following: diameter. 50-60 cm, rim width. 18-20 cm. The smallest diameter will not provide the necessary clearance under the walk-behind tractor gearbox and the soil, and with narrower wheels, the walk-behind tractor will “walk” along the furrow. With all this, it is better that the rim of the metal wheel is not solid, since even then the earth will fill up between the lugs and the walk-behind tractor will begin to slip.

The wheels are the most languid. Practice shows that high-quality plowing with a walk-behind tractor weighing less than 70 kg is impossible, the machine simply slips. The heavier the walk-behind tractor, the deeper and more efficiently it plows, and the easier it is to work with it. Additional loads must be attached to the wheels or to the front of the walk-behind tractor.

The distance between the wheels (track width) will be about 60 cm. This corresponds to a good plow width of 19-21 cm.

After installing the wheels, you need to install the hitch. There are a huge number of hitch designs, both specialized, suitable only for certain models of walk-behind tractors, and universal. It doesn’t matter what design the hitch will be, the main thing is that it ensures the installation and adjustment of the plow position in terms of depth, track width and angle of attack.

Setting the plowing depth

. This adjustment is best done with an assistant. To set the depth of plowing, it is necessary to put the walk-behind tractor on a flat place, driving the wheels on stands (made of wood, boards, bricks) 13-15 cm high. The plow for the walk-behind tractor must be placed on the ground in such a way that it touches the base with the entire edge of the coulter, then connect it to the hitch.

When plowing, the plow leg must always be in a vertical position. Even when the right wheel of the walk-behind tractor goes along the bottom of the furrow. To fulfill this condition, arcuate adjustment slots are provided in the plow hitch for tilting the plow body to the right or to the left. Therefore, after the first two or three passes, when the walk-behind tractor leans to the right and the right wheel goes along the bottom of the furrow, you need to loosen the groove nuts, turn the plow body counterclockwise (when looking at the walk-behind tractor from behind) and set the plow stand vertically. Please tighten the nuts.

Setting the plow according to the track width

. To set the plow according to the track width, the right edge of the coulter should serve as a guide. It should be placed on the same lane as the left (inner) edge of the right wheel. This will ensure complete undercutting of the earth layer and an easy dumping of the earth, which will reduce the required traction force for plowing.

Setting the angle of attack

. The plow should stand on the base at once with both the heel and the toe. If he only touches with his heel, he will be pushed out of the ground, if with a toe. it will go very deep. It may be necessary to make adjustments during work, tilt the plow forward or reverse. An indicator of the initial correct installation is usually the verticality of the plow tine.
