In the last century, Vladimir Dal in his dictionary gave this definition of shovel: “Lopaty shell for digging, vygreba, nawalka, dosing of bulk solids.” Since the shovel has remained the most reliable and perhaps the most popular instrument of the agricultural worker.SELF-PROPELLED PLOW
By itself, the plow actually riding. But it has become possible to plow without a horse due to all the same self-propelled chassis, which we used for the potato digger. This unit is convenient for the gardeners, naturalists, the owners of the gardens. As shown by tests, it can be a few hours to plow Read more…



We return to a universal small-sized agricultural machine WSM-2 “Cinderella”, designed and built by members of the primary organization of VOIR Seversk secondary school № 44, Krasnodar region (“M-K” №9 1980, №6, 1981). Designed for use on the school experimental plot, student production brigades, in the household plots, collective and state greenhouses, USM-2 can already carry more than a dozen kinds of operations. Nevertheless, Seversky, students continue to improve “Cinderella” — come up with new and new agricultural tools that extend its capabilities. Today we will talk about two such soil-cultivating aggregates: cultivator and mower.
Blessed be the day and hour when the person came up with the idea to put the cartridge for fastening the tool to the shaft of the motor. As a tool the drill has become a widespread tool. Why not just make a drill: drill, cut, grind, Polish, mix, mow, and plow … even now!
Garden cart with a wide, roomy basket and grates to build sides for a variety of work in the garden, on the plot. However, every one dealing with the earth, primarily digging, is engaged in planting, sowing. The cart is easily adapted to perform these functions: to collect on its basis the processor, combining a number of tech or other operations. Of course, you will get a non-motorized unit that is designed for your own power.
In the old days tresses are able to sharpen many, although it is not easy: before you bring the blade up to the ringing of the sharpness of the grindstone, it beat with a special hammer on a rounded anvil. Now, few people know the art of hitting. And it would be necessary. For example, in collective farm “Progress”, sponsored our Cuto, in the time of haymaking on the fringes of the forest and other uncomfortable for the Parking the grass mowed manually. KOs, of course, a lot, and the old man who knows how to discourage them, a few units do not have until the new dawn, the bot came to us farmers to help mechanize the process.
If you have a “no” trimmer, it will not break the neighbor… So, to paraphrase a famous song, you can start the story about the problems with manual lawn electromobility. Most of the models imported electrochimprom (from the English word trim — cutting, trimming) is clearly not designed for the Russian kolodong mowing lawns or weeds around fences.
In No. 6 1981 “M-K” talked about how the members of the design circle agricultural modeling of Chernigov obsut after the tour on the kolkhoz apiary has designed the installation for thermal tick treatment bees. Having built her, the guys undertake the following tasks. In the same collective farm apiary they watched as the beekeeper awl pierces holes in Ulevich the framework under wire to consolidate the honeycombs. The awl is the awl: some plank was cracked, the other hole was tightened and the wire did not protectives through them.
The naturalists and the growers, this set is for you! If before you were with him in the greenhouse a whole bunch of different instruments, but now they are all unified and United in a package that will fit in one hand. Each of the tools can be selected from the expanded fan package and used independently from the rest. What is included in it?
As evidenced by the mail, under the heading “Small mechanization” is very popular among people whose work directly or indirectly related to agricultural production. Of particular interest to readers are self-propelled mini-tractors — tillers. After “M-K” has published a description and drawings of “Vyatich” (see No. 7, 1981), built by engineer S. A. Ilyicheva, Amateurs agricultural design write and call the editor with a request to continue the conversation on this topic.
