Small-scale mechanization
… INVENTED THE SHOVEL
This, according to the apt definition of “dictionary” V. dal “lopaty shell pick, vygreba, nawalka and suction loose bodies” is one of the most ancient instruments. Its history began in ancient times, when our distant ancestor, for the first time armed with a digging stick.
WAS THE FRIDGE… HEN
Folk wisdom urges you to count your chickens before they hatch. Unequivocally, we should note, however: in the period of shortages that swept the country, it is impossible not to take care of advance purchase of “source material” — those living fluffy lumps that will turn into future, kvacek. In the spring they weight in gold. Nights are around the walls of the hatchery in the queue, wondering: will carry — will not carry them with chickens.
HYDRAULICS IS THE TRANSMISSION
No short supply differential or planetary rotation mechanism, able to somedelicious nor difficult to manufacture the overrunning clutches is not required for the mini tractor (MT). The torque here is transmitted to each of the drive wheels regardless of their… of the motor. Moreover, the design of the machine is that allows you to change the ground clearance and track.
CUT THE BUSH WITH A DRILL
Hand tools for mechanical cutting of bushes etc. green spaces developed a lot. Including Amateurs samodelki (e.g., see the publication “M-K” № 6, 1985 on universal electrocasnice ESC-1). But in all designs I’ve ever seen, their engines, fitted, which, of course. can impact the cost of the manual tool.
WINDROLLER IS A SAILING TRICYCLE
Sailing has always been considered a true male. And not by accident: this sailor has the necessary power and speed of reaction, physical endurance, ability to keep calm in even the most difficult circumstances. However, sailing there are two significant negative First — seasonality in our mid-latitudes means to do it can be no more than five months in a year. And second, the need fairly large areas.
PLOW: LOOK FORWARD AND MAKE OURSELVES
“The walk-behind paired with the transport carriage (thanks to “M-K”!) made. And now to get-to bring something on the farm for me, as they say, no problem. But good plow still on the road. Wait till the pages so my beloved journal will appear in-depth material on how this plow to calculate and do it.” Similar requests requests come to the editor a lot. Apparently, from those subscribers who failed to see the previous performances of the journal on particular topics (see, for example, “M-K” 1’88, 3’89, 9’90, 5’91, 10’91). And so — a new publication dedicated to the ancient and, as evidenced by life itself, timeless tool of the husbandman.
TRACTOR “WORLD ON A STRING”
MINI TRACTOR STUDENT
No, the headline is not a hoax. And not even the “joint work of members Kota, led by a talented teacher and organizer of technical creativity of rural children”. It is a workable mini-tractor is really created (and after extensive field testing has sent explanatory material about their design in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”) 16-year-old Sretensky guy — Andrey Bobkov.
PLOW MOTOLIBERTY
Now an extremely acute problem of processing individual land plots. The horse would plough the field! But where are these loshadke? Motor-block to replace? Well, if you believe the advertising avenues, such a solution seems quite reasonable. But in fact, alas, it turns out that not all can praise MB. Not to be unfounded, I will refer to the neighbors of tests of MTZ-0.5 plowing. So: we have a heavy soil (clay mostly). They advertised this walk-behind… takes 5-7 cm in depth. And this is with the suspended cargo, and special plough-wheels. Crop after such “processing” of the soil, as they say, never gonna happen.
