Small-scale mechanization

For soil cultivation, many mechanical devices have been created to greatly facilitate this process. There are motor-ploughs, micro-tractors, and mechanized hoes… Of course, each such unit is designed for processing certain areas: a motor-tractor, for example, is convenient for fairly long runs, a motor-plough is more suitable for smaller plots, but it’s best not to Read more…

The all-terrain vehicle is made according to a design that has proven itself well on the Kirovets tractor. It has the same “breakable” frame and drive on both axles. What does this give? Firstly, cross-country ability. The frame, constantly bending, seems to follow the terrain. All four drive wheels are constantly in contact with the Read more…

The idea to create a mechanical four-wheeled assistant came after several years of cultivating a summer cottage with a homemade walk-behind tractor, which turned out to be very heavy and difficult to control and was quite exhausting during the agricultural work season. And on top of that, I wanted to have a universal machine that Read more…

A thrifty owner, especially a rural resident, does not have too much household equipment. So I got another mini tractor. As usual – homemade (you can see about my previous work in “M-K” No. 1-2023 ). This time, in addition to functionality, increased attention was paid to aesthetics and ergonomics. I wanted to get not Read more…

“Hello, dear editors! I have been prescribing M-K since 1969. I made a number of homemade projects based on the magazine’s drawings. I am, as they say, one hundred percent happy with them. I am especially pleased with the Amurchonok microtractor, which has become my reliable assistant. He will plow the ground and do the weeding, Read more…

The proposed development is intended for plowing a small garden plot with a mini-plow, loosening the soil using a rotary tiller. Additionally, this motor block can be used for planting and hilling potatoes. The “heart” of the mechanical assistant (power unit) is the engine from the “Electron” scooter with forced air cooling and handles for Read more…

Universal walk-behind tractor designed by V.N. Arkhipov is simple to manufacture and convenient to use. Use our drawings, and a small metal plow will take on the most labor-intensive work in your suburban area. As evidenced by the mail, the “Small Mechanization” section is very popular among people whose work is somehow connected with agricultural Read more…
