Homemade mini tractors - an alternative to branded ones

Farm and home equipment is becoming increasingly popular, but for most owners of earthen allotments, purchasing branded loaders, conveyors and tractors is overwhelming. On the network you can find homemade versions of a mini tractor, assembled from a cultivator. For example, a kit for converting a walk-behind tractor into a tractor will cost about 10-13 thousand UAH. Which is also a lot.

The manufacturer of such mini-tractors is the Ukrainian company Agromarka, you can also find Yarilo adapters on sale. They can also be found under the name KIT-sets.

Do-it-yourself tractor

Despite these proposals, many farmers are thinking about self-assembly of agricultural vehicles. Welded chassis, wheels from cultivators or wheelbarrows, engines from cars or home appliances are used as spare parts.

Here, according to the experience of one "Kulibin", a dump tractor with your own hands can be assembled from the following components and spare parts for farm equipment. This set of equipment is used in a real build experience and will help you push off to solve your problem.

Spare parts for assembling a mini tractor with your own hands:

• gasoline engine "Sadko" with a capacity of 6.5 hp (single-cylinder, air-cooled);
• the rear axle and wheels are from UAZ, it will need to be shortened to the desired track (usually 70 cm). It is quite possible to weld the chassis yourself, but you will have to tinker;
• front suspension, hubs, wheels and steering from the SMZ motorized stroller;
• channel and sheet metal.

Homemade mini tractors are in great demand. They can be equipped with a dump or cargo body, use tools for tillage. So the test is worth the candle. Many spare parts can be purchased for a penny or you can disassemble an old car that cannot be restored. On sale you can buy a homemade mini tractor, but its price will be at least 10-12 thousand UAH. and more, and the condition is unknown.

For this money, you can assemble excellent agricultural equipment that will last for many years. However, the minimum assembly package of new equipment and kits will cost about UAH 10,000. cultivator and 13 thousand UAH. KIT set. That is, the tractor will cost about $ 1,000, and it can be assembled using ready-made devices and a “constructor”. At the same time, it is profitable, since a finished tractor (though more powerful and more attractive) will cost 40 thousand UAH. and more.

Tractor homemade, do it yourself, video

Homemade mini tractors are good for the household, even if you have a small plot, only 12-15 acres. With it, you can significantly reduce labor costs, go for hay, to the store and even to the city.

When estimating the cost of spare parts, most farmers will forego the task of self-assembly. But, for example, the rear axle from UAZ is more preferable. If you have assembly experience, then you are well aware of its rather complex design. To simplify the task, you can make the rear axle of a cargo bike.

Experiments are good because thanks to them you can make more complex equipment, for example, as shown in the video.

Homemade tractor (design)

Of course, offering you a chassis from a bicycle for a tractor, we were cunning. But you need to understand that the complexity of the design and the increase in the cost of farm transport will depend solely on you. Therefore, it makes sense to take up and understand the problem. We invite you to familiarize yourself with several design drawings of a mini tractor, which indicate the necessary spare parts.

A homemade tractor from a walk-behind tractor is made from a KIT kit, you can find all the suitable components in it, and also see how they are made for the purpose of self-rework.
