Feed the dirty beets, potatoes and other root vegetables and even pigs, they say, is impossible. And to wash manually — it is tedious and to be rather still troublesome. As, however, and no mechanized sorting of tubers. And it should have two fairly simple devices, and the old problems will be solved, that is, themselves.Based on the first one are “squirrel cage” of metal rods, inside of which laid the “ill-fated” roots. This latticed drum mounted NV the frame and provided with a handle. He lowered into a container of water. 30-50 seconds rotating them, and the tubers clean. Drum diameter and length can be very different. As they say, depends on who needs what. For example, I made a drum diameter of 600 and a length of 600 mm, which includes 6 buckets of potatoes. To spin such a device a few dozen rpm — and it’s done.
Winch, in combination with a plow, not news. Especially for owners of small plots of land on which these pretty simple and reliable konstruktsii a great way has already established itself. Unlike the mini-tractor winch not compacts the soil. And not stalled, as the tillers. But almost all traction motor power goes into useful work — plowing the earth towed plow. The winch is held securely in place by anchor legs which, with a kind of bayonet shovels, lengo deepened into the ground. Plowing are together, making a furrow for furrow. With a partner, the duties of which include the return of the plow n the beginning of the furrow may be 10-year-old child. High kachestvo spalni is guaranteed even at extremely inconvenient uchastkah (slopes with a profile like a “washboard”) and heavy soils.
When creating mechanical prepolitical, tillers and other small tools, the tinkerers are facing a number of problems: from the study of kinematics (reliability, compactness, and originality of technical solutions), acquisition for the planned machines of the nodes of parts (cheap motor, for example) and ending with the Assembly and debugging of the whole structure. How to overcome the most common difficulties and become the owner of a quite workable tiller, is published below material.
A zealous owner-samodelka all always there. Even his mini-tractor at times there, not to mention the mower-threshers, other motorcycle and electropolishing. And that’s very understandable with this equipment really is never ever lost. A worthy place is occupied, helping to maintain the farm in good condition, manual tools and simple (but highly effective in fact) fit. Some of them, the magazine has told its readers. Basically, it was more design and technical solution “for the garden” (“modelist-Konstruktor” № 6’91, 9’93, 5’95). The following publication on a makeshift structures, the scope of which focus on a personal farmstead. They are made from so-called scrap materials, “home” technology accessible and understandable to any beginner. At the lowest cost possible to get the maximum result.
Everyone who decided to deal with bees, one has to prepare oneself to much. Including to what happen alone, “remove” ROI. The point is, I know for myself, is not simple. After all, bees are “grafted” (sit down when swarming) often where a person (without appropriate training, equipment) and get something easy. The situation is compounded by the strict time limit due to the impatience of the swarm, ready to “depart in an unknown direction”…
The design, which will be discussed, could be called a potato harvester as it consists of several relatively independent units. The potato is intended to be coupled primarily with a mini-tractor “Ocarinas”, whose description is published in the “Modeller-designer” № 12 in 1996, But since it has a standalone engine, it can be paired with any truck, regardless of, he has a PTO or not. A horse harnessed! I think that the concept of my machine will be useful for other Amateur designers who create their own agricultural machinery.
We are not talking about dancing on beds, and about the original garden tool with which time-consuming, running from time immemorial bayonet shovel (in the best case — the special fork) work on the “home” plots become even elderly people (author and tester this design is over seventy).
Aircraft mechanic M. A. Masters is one of the remarkable constellation of Amateur designers, which has always been proud of the Udmurt ground. He has such serious works as Delta – and paragliders, airplane of his own design and restored Yak-18T, various tools and much more. Today all the works of the craftsman directed to complete the Assembly of a small wheeled tractor, and we invite readers to get acquainted with one of his developments — motoliberty “Mole”. On the pages of our magazine this issue was raised several times, but still remains relevant, as in most of the regions and cities of Russia, the administration is going to meet the residents, allocating land for farming. I think, this versatile unit is indispensable in many cases.
