We have already talked about the agricultural arrangements, where the engine used electric mowers — rotary and shearers knife (see No. 9 of 1980, No. 2, 1981), plough on electric (see # 9 in 1981). Now offering new construction on the same basis — the cultivator of the soil. First, obviously, you need to explain why I designed the mechanism, the main purpose of which is plowing and this scheme — in the form of electrodyalisis. Why not go for more or less beaten path, taking up a walk-behind plow. First of all, it dictated the small size of the treated area and high density of planting tillers are simply not to turn around. Then had to take into account the weight of the guns and power, developing a medium amount of torque just 3 kg. With this machine will easily cope and teenager and woman, and elderly people.
Now, after a dozen years of operation Ripper, you can transfer a number of its advantages.-For example, were preparing the soil so that it does not require weeding at the same time, the upper fertile layer of the earth is not dug down, but remains on the surface. Guide cone deepens below the ploughing of inches, where he passes better hold moisture. You can work on steep slopes, in greenhouses and greenhouses, under fruit trees and around shrubs, the degree of soil moisture does not influence the quality of work. Entire growing period inter-row cultivation can be carried out without damaging the roots of the plants. And the last one. This weapon replaces the cultivator, a harrow, a mouldboard. The performance of the mechanism when the ploughing depth of 25 cm on the hard loamy soils 70—80m2/h.
Electrotechnical consists of a working body drive and chassis-frame with the thrust wheel. Drive-drill has two side handles. The clutch is of the cone facilitates the replacement of a support rod in the lower part of which is screwed a tip welded to it with knives. By the way, about the size of knives: for heavy soils them Ø 220 mm, when working on the lighter lands it can be increased.
