UNIVERSAL FOR THE FARMER

UNIVERSAL FARMERSelf-propelled chassis, called the “Bull” that I built over ten years ago. For such a considerable time of operation the machine showed itself unpretentious, reliable and workable. The layout of its classic truck body front, the driver’s seat (in this case it is open) and the engine — rear; front axle — steering, rear — host. “Bull” is primarily designed for the carriage of goods weighing up to 500 kg with a speed of 35 km/h. But it is possible to work the ground. We only need, say, before plowing to replace the sprocket gearbox for a large, which will give increased traction, and attach the plow.

BEHIND TRACTOR-TRUCKOffer to readers design their new walk-behind. But before describing it, a little background. Village life is hard their daily monotonous work in summer and winter, rain and snow… Wanted to do something to alleviate all this work and care. I did a walk-behind tractor. And not generic, as usual, with a cart, because more needed in the vehicle. For the relative small size called it a “Humpbacked”.

HAND PUMP

MANUAL PUMP

Well — vital structure on the estate, even if a centralized water supply system. Design it can be any. We have, for example, the popular tube-wells, good bearing rocks occur close. And simple tool for drilling (drilling rig spoon, chisel, coil and bailer screwed on the extension tube-rod), it is easy to get. For water many people prefer to use a pump type BKF or BKF 2-4 prefabrication. I am also quite happy with a homemade design which is so simple that it is available for repeating any.

SHEARERS, AND NOT ONLY

Shearing machines МСУ200 with a built-in handle three-phase asynchronous motor (200 Hz, 36 V, 100 W, 12, OOO rpm) we have in the village is not uncommon. Though slightly modified, with a reinforcing grommet for the power cable. This technique is popular in neighboring areas, where used by shearers of sheep and camels, as well as professionals postconservatism skins Karakul smusic. As a full-time source of electricity for it is a three-phase network with voltage of 380 V, which МСУ200 connected through electric machines-nye converters ИЭ9401А and ИЭ9403.

HOMEMADE AUTOCLAVE

HOMEMADE AUTOCLAVE

Real benign stew without autoclave do not like, however, and other canned goods. However, the production of inexpensive home-autoclaves our industry, it seems, a long time will not be adjusted. Imported equipment, most people can not afford. Has to settle for a canned food factory production. But why not make the autoclave with his own hands? As a basis we can take the industrial analogues or the development of Amateur designers (for example, mini-mill V. Starostina, published in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 4, 1998). You can use my design, which I think is more reliable and productive.

Going to put the hives in your apiary improvised electronic thermostat — you will not regret. Because it is simple, in General, the device will create for bee colonies conditions, like the comfort, the economic feasibility of which has been repeatedly pointed out, and the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor” (see for example, №10’93, 12’96, 1’2000). The use of a controller leads to decrease almost two times the previous costs feed — sugar or honey because the bees do not have to spend energy to maintain the desired temperature.

THE VENTILATION IN THE GARAGE

The garage, which was built in the time of my neighbors, so appealed to me that his project was taking advantage of me. Considering his opportunities, the need for ventilation and fire safety requirements, introduced the necessary adjustments. It turned out well.
