In the treasury of DIY: mini tractor with big possibilities

How to build a homemade Universal mini tractor, how much it costs, and what tools are needed for this

Sooner or later, any person living "on the ground", attends the thought of having to use the farm mechanical assistant. Plow or smoothed portion uproot stumps, cement carry multiple bags, and so to dig a ditch. D. - overwhelmed with work. That's just the price of tillers, cultivators, garden tractors and snow tools of industrial manufacturing "bite", and each time to take them out - "toad strangling". Therefore, "Kulibin" portal FORUMHOUSE choose to roll up their sleeves and do the right machine or mechanism of its own. It is about such a sample, the ability to give a head start brand counterparts, and will be discussed in this article.

The content of the article:

• How to make a universal bortopovorotny minitractor on hydraulic drive
• What tools are needed for the manufacture of home-made mini tractors
• How much does the construction of homemade mini tractors

Bortopovorotny kid on the hydraulic drive

Subject portal user with the nickname RoteRatte how he made the universal bortopovorotnuyu hydraulic platform on wheels go, I caught many. Still, "kid" in the photo below is capable of much.

To lift and carry the blocks PBS weighing 200 and 500 kg.

Uproot the stumps.

Remove the area fertile soil.

Clean bucket in the winter snow on the roads in the CHT.

Moreover, as the production of various attachments, the range of tasks that can solve the truck-minitractor significantly expand.

About a year ago, I took up the improvement of your site. Cases had to do a lot - to align the section, pull the old CFC blocks, on which stood an old house, uproot stumps, etc... Thought order compact tractor to remove the fertile layer, but the price list for the work at two sites with a total area of ​​about 250 sq. m I have charged a 30-thousand. rub. And "firmachi" More and promises 2 weeks fed. Therefore I thought and thought and made mini tractor, and drive then this work for 2 days.

Rental mini technique - small tractors, mini-excavators, svaekrutov, etc., which can enter the site to perform excavation and havoc do not have sanitized area - a very popular service.

From idea to implementation in a metal mini tractors at RoteRatte It took about 7 months. The key to success - a careful calculation, planning, as well as the maximum utilization of the factory finished units and parts of motor vehicles.

After developing the concept of the device, the user has ordered and purchased units that can just put the house and not to think that their prices will rise. This engine ( "390 minutes» Champion with the electric capacity of 13 liters. s.), hydraulics (hydraulic pumps, hydraulic cylinders) and drives the wheels.

On "then" left metal. Also RoteRatte I thought out layout mini tractors, so as to minimize turning works.

High-quality machine tool operation are expensive and difficult to find adequate turner, which leads to an increase in the construction cost estimates "helper" in the house.

Of the main instruments RoteRatte I used:

• Angle grinders (angle grinding machine);
• Household inverter welder;
• simple drilling machine;
• drill;
• hammer.

The main technical characteristics of mini tractors:

• length - 2050 mm;
• width - 1100 mm;
• height - 1400 mm;
• Speed ​​- 3-4 km / h;
• weight - 400 kg.

Tractor can go forward, backward and turn on a dime. Tipping load on level ground is three quintals.

Although you expected different parameters of the hydraulic system and drives on special calculators, "kid" was stronger than intended. For example, minitractor can easily lift and drag of a concrete foundation blocks, weighing 200 kg.

weighing half a ton block "baby" drags a small slip, because of the smooth tires planted on "gazelevskie" rims 16th radius.

Also, the user has made a set of attachments. These are two of the bucket.

The first volume of 250 liters - for lighter materials and a second volume of 170 liters - heavy and chain with a hook and minipritsep.

Interestingly unusual way "vykorchovyvaniya" from the land of heavy FBS, which came up with the user. In the photo below the demonstration of "know-how" RoteRatte using circuits and minipritsepa.

minitractor control, through the pump and valves 2 is performed as follows: the left side - + stroke hydraulic tilting bucket, right - + stroke hydraulic lifting / lowering the boom. To simultaneously operate normally swing, boom and bucket control lever is needed and distributors with the electric. This complicates and increases the cost of construction.

Tractor aroused great interest among the participants of the portal, and users have questions on how constructive and operating features "baby". We present the most interesting of them. Member portal serg1740 I asked why RoteRatte not used crawler drive: stability and higher due to the low center of gravity, and the permeability of the ground larger.

I thought about the caterpillar drive, but after weighing all the "pros" and "cons" refused. It is more expensive and much more complicated due to the presence of rollers, shafts, etc. If you use a self-made Caterpillar made of conveyor belts or cut from tractor tire obtain unpredictable result. Normal quality, brand caterpillar that will pull the hard work on asphalt, soil with rocks, not just snow, did not fit into the budget.

We add that the first user is believed that after the test run, put on a mini tractor tires-herringbone with developed cleats, but abandoned the idea. Traction tires, wheels with smooth enough, but other than that they are less spoil the lawn and the area that tractor tires simply tear.

Another issue where mini tractors hidden oil radiator. According to RoteRatte it is not needed, ie. k. at 25 ° C in the oil tank is not heated above 40-45 ° C. At lower air temperatures, e.g., about 0 ° C, the oil tank remains cold, even if the machine works hard day.

An important tip from the participant with the nickname of the portal Alex9999.

I do not advise Homebrew tractor driver when lifting and dragging cargo carried away slings made of chains. They certainly are inexpensive and convenient to work, but at excess of allowable load circuit once torn. Better to take the slings of textile or steel. Economy version - the tow rope, which is sold in any auto. If use chains that constantly monitor their condition. If there is one thing the damaged link - the chain needs to be changed.

 Important: when lifting or dug vmorzshego block PBS load in static jerk exceeds 10-15 times. When the block is pulled out weighing 200 kg tensile load Chalkov exceed 1 ton. Therefore, there is a ban on the rise entrapped cargo.

 And at the end of Article approximate budget homemade.

RoteRatte

Details I only buy new. Especially not count conducted, but spent about minitractor about 150-200 thousand. rub. True expenses were not single, but gradually, t. E., Something dokupal until he designed and built, so the burden on the family budget is not so noticeable.

can be found in this thread more about form factor and features of operation bortopovorotnogo mini tractors, and ask questions of its developer. On the topic of interest another version of the self-made tractor with a dump trailer.

article is also recommended, which tells how to work with welding inverter, And what you need to know to choose a quality tiller and walk-behind tractor.

In the video - cheap barn, greenhouse and woodsheds own hands.
