YOUNGER BROTHER “OF VLADIMIR”
Mini-tractor must admit, I’ve built without any drawings (except the sketches of parts that he had ordered Turner), so to speak, to the eye, intuitive, having all components and assemblies as compact as possible and easier for the tractor. Then, the accumulation of operating experience, many times altered it. But more on that below.

He was the inspiration when building my mini. Hence the nickname — “little brother.”

Especially in cases when you need urgent and high quality execution of drilling, grinding or grinding operations in confined spaces.
THE FERTILIZER FACTORY
A good harvest in garden plots, which were allocated mainly for some reason on marginal land, with no organic matter will not succeed. Need compost! But that’s the pits to get it though recommended agricultural science, welcomed by environmentalists, but do not decorate the landscape. There is a conflict between production needs and beauty, to a resolution which is intended my proposed structure, it rightly can be called a fertilizer factory.
