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. Built because I needed a mechanical servant, able to perform almost all the agricultural work on the plot. Such “abilities”, in my opinion, has tractor T-25 vladimirets. He was the inspiration when building my mini. Hence the nickname — “little brother.”
YOUNGER BROTHER “OF VLADIMIR”
While still a student of the 3rd class of high school (20 years ago) persuaded the parents to issue an annual subscription to “modelist-Konstruktor”. Since then, and are a regular reader, cherish all the sent mail rooms favorite edition. The desire to build their own mini-tractor (MT) caught fire when in No. 12 of the journal in 1978 read the article about “Lukovichki”.
During the occupation of technical creativity in the home workshop, where a power drill with various bits are often the main instrument, can be very helpful homemade device with a flexible shaft. Especially in cases when you need urgent and high quality execution of drilling, grinding or grinding operations in confined spaces.
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.
Based on its first walk-behind tractor I took the “Vyatichi”, technical description, sketches, key components and parts of which were published in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”. However, my opportunities, logistical and industrial base differed from what had the author of “Vyatichi”. The result was a homemade, little resembling the original design. Collected, as they say, every little helps, a farm machine though and does not look flimsy, but in front of a heavy loam of our black earth gave in — slip and quickly buried in the ground. Was not helping, lightweight or powerful enough engine of the scooter “Electron” or “bus terrain” with studs, welded on lugs. Namayavshis with such would – be tillers in the seed, I had to disassemble it in order to fly to make yourself a stronger metopomancy, working equally well on different soils and under any weather conditions.
Technical solutions offered by one of the authors of our magazine, addressed to the owners of the garden and does not require for its implementation of high costs of labour, materials and cash. Perhaps the only thing you need is the desire to make everything better, sturdy.
