I set myself the goal of making a nimble, reliable, and compact walk-behind tractor. So that this mechanical assistant would work in the garden, plow the vegetable garden, cut beds, plant potatoes in the home field, weed seedlings, and harvest… And most importantly, so that I could operate this equipment while sitting in a comfortable Read more…
More than once I tried to build a simple, convenient, and compact micro-motorcycle. However, after building and testing several such machines with a D6 engine, shortcomings emerged that were stereotypically repeated in all of them: uncomfortable riding position (especially for tall riders), lack of auxiliary pedal drive, the need to start, as they say, “by Read more…

With its help, they cultivate potato plots, mow grass, and transport cargo. The walk-behind tractor’s layout is traditional: frame, engine, and two-wheeled running gear. As needed, the following are attached to Read more…
I started designing this car a long time ago – maybe ten, maybe fifteen years ago. But this does not mean at all that I stood at the drawing board for all ten to fifteen years. No, I just bit by bit, in the mass of what had already been created and worked out, I Read more…
I made a root vegetable chopper, so necessary for providing home livestock with vitamin feed (“chopped feed”), based on a decommissioned ATD2—a disc fertilizer spreader that I managed to find among the collective farm scrap metal. Both the metal cylindrical hopper with a lid and lower band, and the working seeding organ itself (simply put, Read more…
The age of the members of the “Planeta” young technicians station varies greatly: from elementary school students to graduates.
