Trailers for passenger cars that turn them into small trucks are especially popular among rural residents and owners of country houses. And that’s quite natural — they make it much easier to transport a variety of loads such as sand and peat, cement and manure, bricks and gravel. The only downside is that loading and Read more…
The tank from an old activator-type washing machine, the driven drum of the control clutch from a decommissioned T-74 tractor, and a three-phase electric motor — this is the basis for a homemade grain grinder. Its design is portable, which is very important for use on small farms and in private households. The main part Read more…
Do you know, sometimes the craziest ideas are born not from an excess of free time, but from the desire to prove to yourself that the impossible is actually quite real.

Finally, my dream has partly come true (or rather, I made it happen myself) — and now I own such a machine. It may not be a full-sized chopper, Read more…
