It is possible to invent in all spheres of human activity. And agriculture is no exception. It is known that potatoes are best grown in sandy soil: and plant it well and harvest easy to mechanize. Well, if the soil is solid clay, weather – rain, rain, revocable, and agricultural equipment available? Grow crops in this case, the farmer helps his fiction. To trace the course of thought of the inventor, as a rule, difficult. But by and large, useless. Much more important is the result of the thinking process. In the case of potatoes, in relation to my humble experience since 1991, it can be so.
Small-scale mechanization
SPRAY? DISK!
For chemical protection of agricultural crops from pests and diseases, and in making micronutrients during weeding chemicals are usually converted into coarse aerosol, which is directed to plants or soil. At the same time seeking to labor costs were minimal, and spraying the preparations were used, if possible, without losses. And fractional composition of the droplets, the content of active substances try to make optimal.
SELECT THE KRUPORUSHKA
Have in the farm or on a personal farmstead of a good high-performance kruporushka not a fad, but rather a vital necessity. Especially when you consider the high cost of ready to “purchase” animal feed and often inconsistent quality of the advertised. However, some specific designs of existing diversity of shredders (including home-made developments, published at different times in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”) to choose?
A RAKE WITH WHEELS
An ordinary hand rake for harvesting hay is a tool the ancient and familiar to every villager. As a rule, all parts of this instrument from wood, that was easy, after all, to keep his accounts at work is almost always on weight. The width of the grip hand rake is small, accordingly, the performance of the small, even the enthusiastic collector.
GARDEN CART – FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE
Over thirty years ago fate would have it, so I went into the house of Fyodor Nikitovich, Kuhtenko. This man’s life was not easy. The dispossession of the family of the parents in the period of collectivization, war, captivity, escape, the Soviet camp, the work of a master in a munitions factory, once again the repression and return in the defense industry. In short, learn it once, and the birthplace of required full-time commitment. Helped natural diligence and, most importantly, the talent of the master on all hands.
“SWEET” AUTO-TRAIN
Not so long ago, with retirement, I seriously take up beekeeping. But our region is not rich in melliferous plants, so during the season we have to move with the whole apiary from one place to another six or seven times. To transport hives I to their pickup IZH-27151-01 produced a trailer which you can install eight buildings. This capacity is provided by the fact that for a passenger car trailer is quite unusual — it is biaxial. In the manufacture of many trailer parts and components used from the disused vehicles and agricultural equipment. Given the time developing designs and search of the necessary parts and materials trailer I did for two months.
WALL… CELLAR
Despite the widespread use of electric refrigerators, such as the construction of the cellar maintains its position. Especially in rural areas and in suburban areas, where in these, prudently organized, compact storage with a good waterproofing and ventilation that supports the required temperature and humidity conditions, keep foods that do not rot and do not shrink, do not lose their taste and smell. However, if used, the most common were detached cellars, today in order to save area, many prefer the compact storage of vegetables, fruits and homemade food, is equipped with a summer kitchen, a barn, a garage…
ONCE AGAIN THE SHOVEL
A reader, after reading the title, will exclaim: “What can still come up, because the shovel, and wheel has upgraded to the limit!” It turns out that you can. Absolutely unexpected application of the digging tool was published in the newspaper “Belarusian hour”. The author of the “open” wished to remain anonymous, but there are innovators, dorabotali design a one-wheeled carts, resembling a wheelbarrow.
UPGRADED RAKE
A lever mounted on the rake (figure 1), will greatly facilitate the work of the gardeners when released from the teeth of grass or foliage. Make it from steel wire diameter 6 … 8 mm. When upgraded rake clogged with grass, it is enough to click on the handle and continue working.
COUNTRY ASSISTANT
For cultivating soil in garden plots most appropriate mechanism to consider a walk-behind tractor. It has a small footprint and consumes few fuel, has the necessary agility and sufficient performance. The possibility of a quick change to some tillers tillers for others (e.g., plow cultivator, cultivator or Hiller), makes this mechanism almost universal. If necessary it can adapt even under the vehicle to transport goods for short distances on farm roads.
