Operation and maintenance of Neva MB-1 MultiAgro walk-behind tractors

What oil and fuel is best to use?

Filling volume l., 1.5.
Type of engine oil: in summer it is better to use SAE 10W-30 oil, in winter - SAE 5W-30.
Fuel type recommended by the manufacturer: pure gasoline AI - 92, AI - 95.

Add oil only when necessary.

It is recommended to change the oil in Briggs & Stratton engines for the first time 5 hours after the first start of the walk-behind tractor; in the future, in these engines it is recommended to change the oil every 8 hours of operation and before the change of season (spring-summer and winter-autumn).

In Honda engines, the oil is changed within the first 20 hours of operation after the first start, and then at least once every six months.

Tips for the first start-up and running-in of Neva MB1 MultiAGRO walk-behind tractors

First launch walk-behind tractor must be carried out adhering to the following rules:

check the complete set of the walk-behind tractor;
start the engine only when the walk-behind tractor is on a flat surface;
check that the fuel and oil levels are sufficient;
make sure that threaded connections securely fastened;
start the engine, turning on the ignition smoothly;
let the walk-behind tractor run idle for 5-10 minutes;
get moving and start working.

Run-in- this is the period of the first 20 hours of operation of the walk-behind tractor.

do not load the walk-behind tractor at full capacity;
do not cultivate virgin soil with a new machine - let the equipment “go into operation”, run-in on pre-cultivated land;
Do not equip the walk-behind tractor with additional cutters, use only the supplied ones;
change gears only after the rotation of the main pulley has stopped;
Change the oil after 20 hours of operation.

Shifting gears

To correctly change gears on a walk-behind tractor without shortening the “life” of your walk-behind tractor, follow these simple recommendations:

Stop the walk-behind tractor to change gears - do not remove the shift knob while the machine is moving!
The start of movement is made by moving the engine to ½ of the maximum, then the required gear is engaged. By pressing the clutch smoothly, you will ensure that the walk-behind tractor starts moving. After this, you can gradually increase the number of engine revolutions to give the equipment the required speed.
To change gear, release the clutch lever. Make sure that the gear pulley does not rotate, change gear. Resume driving by pressing the clutch. Make all shifts smoothly, without exerting effort or jerking the levers or handle.

Replacing drive belts

NEVA MB-1 walk-behind tractors and their modifications have a built-in front-rear V-belt drive.

To replace the belt in a walk-behind tractor, you need to know the type of belt, its length (you can simply measure it manually), and the degree of tension.

Before replacement, the casing is removed from the V-belt mechanism, and then the back bar is removed from the pulley. The key is used to loosen it, and then the spring-loaded roller is removed. Next, a new belt is tensioned, and those parts that were removed are put back and strengthened.

Belt type suitable for these types of walk-behind tractors: forward drive belt A-1213.

Carburetor adjustment

You can adjust the carburetor yourself only if you already have experience in such repair work.

To adjust you need:

Unscrew the low and full throttle screws as much as possible;
start and warm up the engine;
turn the engine to the lowest speed;
then achieve stable idle operation and set the maximum idle speed;
Next, the minimum engine speed at idle is adjusted, alternating with the maximum. This is done until the engine starts to idle stably and without any extraneous noise or knocking.

Valve settings

Setting or adjusting the valves is done using wrenches, a screwdriver and a feeler gauge. The essence of the adjustment is to set the standard clearances between the valves, then the engine will operate properly.

To adjust, remove the engine casing, and then the valve box cover, adjust the clearances using a feeler gauge, then replace the box cover and casing.

Changing the gearbox oil of a walk-behind tractor

One of the most important points Maintenance of the walk-behind tractor gearbox means timely oil changes.

Replacing oil seals

The most common problem with oil seals is their leakage. If you notice that oil is leaking, it is better to replace the seals.

This is quite simple to do: you need to remove the seals, clean the shaft from any remaining oil and debris, replace the seals with new ones and install the cover in place, securing it with bolts.

Possible ignition problems

If the ignition is acting up, you probably need to reset it. To do this, remove the spark plugs, wipe the electrodes and, if necessary, clean the spark plugs from carbon deposits or replace them, then set the gap between the electrodes. Next, the spark plug is fixed in the cylinder head, and the crankshaft is rotated.

If the ignition is properly ignited, a white-blue spark will appear.

It is also recommended to check the flywheel and stator; the normal gap between these parts is 0.10 - 0.15 mm. Using a feeler gauge, this gap can be increased. If you don't have a probe, use a razor blade or a landscape sheet folded into four.

No spark

If there is no spark, the problem is most likely carbon buildup. Cleaning off carbon deposits and wiping the electrodes will help here.

If the spark plug is working properly, the spark will be produced and will have a light blue color. If there is an ignition fault, the spark will be light yellow.

Changing spark plugs

The manufacturer emphasizes that you can remove and install the spark plug on the walk-behind tractor only after the cylinder head has cooled.

If you remove the spark plug and exceed the tightening torque by more than half, you can no longer use the spark plug.

Spark plugs recommended by the manufacturer for walk-behind tractors of this model and their modifications: spark plug A11P (made in Russia) - gap 0.5÷0.6 mm. Wrench dimensions 20.8 mm; spark plug NR17С (BRISK) - gap 0.5÷0.6 mm. Wrench dimensions 20.8 mm; spark plug WR8AC (BOSСH) - gap 0.5÷0.6 mm. Wrench dimensions 20.8 mm.

Weighing 75 kilograms, the MB-1 walk-behind tractors are highly maneuverable and easy to operate. Their main purpose is to cultivate land plots with medium-heavy soils (mainly loam, including those that have not been cultivated for a long time). The unit of this line will be useful in small, especially reclaimed, areas.

Neva MB-1 is equipped with four engine options:

MB1B MA (RS950)– The 4-stroke power unit “RS950” from the American company “Briggs & Stratton” has a maximum power of 6.5 hp.

MB1B-6.0FS– here is a motor (of the same brand) “I/C6.0” with a power of 6 hp. and is equipped with an electric starter.

MB1N MA (GP200)– here is the Honda GP200 engine, which has a power of 5.8 hp.

MB 1S-6.0– the fourth modification is equipped with a 6-horsepower engine from Subaru.

Among the advantages of all these power units is quick starting, including cool weather, stable operation across the entire speed range and efficiency.

The engines run on 92 and 95 gasoline (the fuel tank capacity is enough to cultivate several hundred square meters of land).

The maximum speed of a walk-behind tractor placed on a support wheel or aggregated with a trailer can reach 11 km/h.

The difference between the MB-1 MA and other modifications of this line is the MultiAGRO gearbox - an in-house development of the manufacturing company’s engineers. Thanks to him, the walk-behind tractor has an expanded range of gears: three forward gears at once. For some types of work, a second set is provided, which is connected by rearranging the belt on a double-strand pulley. Thanks to the wide selection of gear ratios, it is possible to select optimal mode operation of the unit for any task.

We note the convenient control of the walk-behind tractor using a simple but functional steering wheel. There is also a gear shift lever on it. The steering wheel is adjustable both in height and in angle of rotation.

The set of attachments with which the Neva MB-1 can be used is extensive. When cultivating a plot, the working width is adjustable from 86 to 127 centimeters. The plow can cultivate the ground to a depth of 20 centimeters. Hiller, potato digger, mower, and other equipment are also available. As an additional option, you can purchase a support wheel, which greatly facilitates working with the walk-behind tractor.
Through an adapter, a trolley with a carrying capacity of up to 500 kilograms is attached to the MB-1. The procedure for mounting the canopy, as well as replacing wheels with cutters, is simple and not labor-intensive.

The walk-behind tractor can also cope with clearing a small area of snow - for this purpose, the list of attachments includes a snow blower, a brush and a blade.

There is a complete set with a powerful headlight for working in the dark.

On the Russian market, Neva MB-1 walk-behind tractors in 2017 are offered at prices starting from 36,500 rubles.

Earth and hard work- here are the symbols agriculture. It is no longer necessary to cultivate the land manually in the twenty-first century. Everyone knows that there is no need to dig up the garden or harvest the crops yourself. For this purpose, machines have come to the rescue, making life easier for many small farmers. These machines are walk-behind tractors.

Unfortunately, the manual labor of one person (removing weeds, plowing the land, harvesting crops, and much more) is inferior to mechanized labor. So walk-behind tractors are the way to a prosperous economy.

What is a walk-behind tractor?

A walk-behind tractor is a very useful unit that helps a person replace manual labor with mechanized labor. It will always come in handy on the farm. Versatility and compactness are the main qualities of the walk-behind tractor. In terms of its working characteristics (and appearance), this unit resembles a mixture of a lawn mower or verticutter and a small tractor. Not too typical for him high power, which is quite enough for him, and the versatility inherent in the tractor.

What a walk-behind tractor is capable of

Any such unit, in particular the very common MB-1 walk-behind tractor, should replace manual labor with mechanized labor in order to increase the productivity of an enterprise or just a summer cottage.

What functions does it perform? First of all, it’s worth remembering that a walk-behind tractor is universal machine. He alone can cultivate the land: plow, loosen, weed, rewild, clear the area of snow, work with a rake, and so on, harvest (dig up root crops). The MB-1 walk-behind tractor can transport heavy loads, water and tools; it can load up to three hundred kilograms if there is a special trailer for walk-behind tractors. As you can see, its functions resemble a tractor.

Description of MB-1

The MB-1 “Neva” walk-behind tractor is produced by the Red October CJSC plant, which remains and has changed little since Soviet times. This factory is the leader of everything Russian production not only walk-behind tractors, but also another walk-behind tractor MB-1 - the predecessor of the Neva MB-2 walk-behind tractor. They are similar in many ways, but in appearance they are almost indistinguishable.

Marking

Everything is very simple here. “MB” is an abbreviation of the word walk-behind tractor. The same plant has motor cultivators, which, in turn, are designated “MK”. So as not to confuse these a little different types agricultural machinery, and came up with short notations.

Who should buy MB-1 (motoblock)?

To make your farm prosper and become more efficient, it is better to buy a walk-behind tractor. Who exactly will need the MB-1 (walk-behind tractor)? Of course, you can’t dig up huge fields with one such unit, but you can dig up a large vegetable garden. A large plot of land is a niche in which the MB-1 walk-behind tractor thrives. It doesn’t have enough power to plow the fields, but it doesn’t need it. It’s difficult for one person to dig up twenty to thirty acres of land, but with a walk-behind tractor it’s still easier. This unit is designed for private gardens or small farms. These are the ones he should serve first. Every small farmer definitely needs a walk-behind tractor, as this machine is very useful on the farm, and it will definitely come in handy.

More about the MB-1 model

Since this unit is assembled at a domestic plant, the MB-1 and, accordingly, the purchase of spare parts will be cheaper than for imported models. It should be noted that sometimes very good imported engines (mainly from Japan) are installed on a walk-behind tractor. Such units have a good reputation among summer residents due to their high-quality and powerful motor.

Motoblocks "Neva" are very widespread. Their main qualities are reliability, durability and availability. It is because of this that “Neva” has become so popular. The most common model is MB-2, but the earlier-produced MB-1 unit is also widely used. In principle, in terms of basic technical characteristics it is not inferior to more new version. MB-2, of course, is more convenient and aesthetically pleasing, if one can say so about a walk-behind tractor.

The engine power of the Neva MB-1 walk-behind tractor reaches six horsepower. As they say, just right for such a unit. Thanks to its versatility, you can hang a lot of useful equipment on it that is designed for such machines. Comfortable long handles help with control.

The car itself sits on fairly large, seemingly out-of-place wheels. These powerful wheels help the walk-behind tractor navigate difficult places and on wet soils. After all, it should serve in any weather.

The MB-1 has a manual transmission. The MB-1 walk-behind tractor has a chain gearbox, like almost all domestic inexpensive units. There are only two speeds: forward and reverse. By the way, not all walk-behind tractors have reverse stroke. During operation, the device picks up speed from six to twelve kilometers per hour. Due to its reliability, the unit is used in the most harsh conditions, which he doesn’t care about. If you follow all the rules of use, the MB-1 walk-behind tractor will last a long time, helping you cope with all difficulties.

Hard rural work can be greatly facilitated by the Neva walk-behind tractor. The wheel mechanism for tillage is equipped only with a cultivator. But a device with a powerful motor is designed to work with mounted implements for cultivating the land, mowing grass and even a cart for transportation.

Advantages of a walk-behind tractor

The spring working day in a peasant farmstead becomes almost around the clock. Heavy handmade Digging up an area for sowing takes up most of the time. By the way, mechanical horses appeared - Mole, Neva and the like. In 2 hours on a Neva walk-behind tractor you can dig up 10 acres of land, freeing up 3 days for others. The mole is small and nimble, he can even female hands, but low-power, rather weak traction. A gift for the villagers was a more powerful universal unit.

The Neva walk-behind tractor is the brainchild of St. Petersburg machine builders. It was created at the Red October - Neva enterprise. Manufacturers have created a simple, unpretentious all-season machine for rural work. Engine power 5.5-7.5 liters. With. provided by reliable engines

American model “Briggs&Stratton”;
"Honda"
Subaru.

The walk-behind tractor is equipped with double air filter, which makes the work more stable. When turning, the drive of one wheel is turned off and turned “on the heel”. The ability to use other implements for agricultural work makes the walk-behind tractor a universal assistant for a rural resident.

The unit can be purchased and repaired in the most remote regions. The price of the Neva walk-behind tractor is affordable even for people with low incomes. There are 250 stores selling agricultural machinery and 160 service centers. Online stores deliver purchased goods to any corner of the country using mailing lists. Manufacturers produce equipment with a guarantee, but 1% of defects is still inevitable, then the equipment is replaced or a unit is sent for installation. There are no problems with purchasing the necessary spare parts for the Neva walk-behind tractor.

Models of walk-behind tractors

The first unit was assembled with the domestic model of the DM-1K engine. The engine cylinder liner was cast iron, which significantly increased the service life of the engine. The apparatus was capable of developing heavy soils and even virgin lands. You can still find the Neva MB-1 walk-behind tractor in a rural farmstead.

The modernized walk-behind tractor model is in great demand. Changes:

a gear-chain reducer is installed;
imported engine used;
the ability to unlock the left wheel for easy turning on a small area;
increased idle speed to 12 km/h.

The load capacity of the Neva MB-2 walk-behind tractor became 300 kg, and this made it possible to use a trailed trolley. After modernization, the walk-behind tractor began to be in increased demand, despite a significant increase in cost. Experts appreciated the improved performance of the model:

increasing the strip processing width in one pass;
gearbox with gear shift - 4 forward, 2 reverse;
pulley for transmitting power to attachments;
presence of a steering wheel;
increasing the load capacity on a dirt road up to half a ton.

The main tool that comes with the block is reciprocating cutters for loosening the top layer of soil. With increasing power, their grip will double with a loosening layer depth of 35 cm. See how easily the Neva walk-behind tractor works in the video:

There are models MB-23 and MB-3. Model 23 performs the same functions as the MB-2, but has a 10 hp engine. With. and the body became heavier. MB-3 is a light cultivator without mounted implements.

The first model has been discontinued. Which of the proposed assistants the tiller should choose depends on the area of land and the nature of the work.

Various attachments for the Neva walk-behind tractor

Initially, the product represents a frame structure. It is equipped with rubber wheels with a deep and textured tread for good grip on slippery surfaces. The kit includes saber-shaped cutters on an axle, which replace wheels during cultivation. For year-round use, various attachments are offered for the Neva walk-behind tractor.

That’s why the equipment is called a block; with the help of canopies, it replaces a haymower and hiller, a cart for transporting up to half a ton of garbage, and in winter it turns into a snow blower. Additional canopies can be purchased individually or as a set.

Hay and lawn mowers

Using an attachment instead of a hand scythe will save effort and time. Depending on the profile and levelness of the area, choose a segment or rotary mower.

The segment mower for the Neva walk-behind tractor has a frame equipped with cutting knives. Knives in the form of two plates with teeth receive an oscillating motion from the drive and work like scissors, cutting grass in a horizontal area. The working width is 110 cm, the speed of the mower is 4 km/h. The technology will provide invaluable assistance

The device has teeth made of hard alloy and even bites occasionally twigs up to 1 cm in cross-section. For safety reasons, the instrument belt is covered with a cover. You can quickly remove and install the canopy, and it is also not difficult to replace the plate with teeth in the event of a breakdown of the cutting device.

It is important to note that the mowing is of high quality even in uneven places, since the field is cleared in two passes. There is a slide at the end of the console that prevents the mechanism from lowering to the ground. Rotary mowers for walk-behind tractors are produced by several factories in the country, type KN 1.1.

Rotary mower for the Neva walk-behind tractor rural areas became more widespread. The device consists of a disk or two mounted on a frame in the center. When the cutting surfaces of the disk rotate, everything that gets in the way is demolished. The device is intended:

mow thick grass;
work on uneven surfaces;
mow overgrown bushes, inconveniences.

The cutting mechanism consists of 4 knives secured to the disk with cotter pins. The knives come out of the disc slot under the influence of torque and are retracted when stopped. The grass is laid in even swaths. The mower for the Neva walk-behind tractor of the Zarya type is equipped with two discs rotating towards each other. The swath height is adjustable. But knives quickly become dull or fly out when they hit the terrain. The productivity of rotary tools is lower, the swath width is 80 cm.

For use on summer cottage in cramped conditions, the Neva-KR-05 mounted rotary mower for a walk-behind tractor is more suitable. The equipment for its own walk-behind tractor is produced by the Red October plant. The cutting width of only 56 cm allows you to tidy up boundaries and mow the tree trunks.

The use of any type of mower imposes responsibility on the worker for the safety of others and his own. Therefore, it is necessary not only to check the strength of the cutting tool and the tension of the belt, but also the condition of the mowed field.

Cans, stones and other foreign objects can damage the blades and cause injury to the mower operator. Care must be taken to remove children and animals from the risk zone. Work in closed clothing and safety glasses.

During work, you should periodically check the condition of the fastening and tension of the belts. If it is necessary to repair or replace the blade, knife, walk-behind tractor, you must turn off the power.

Why do you need an adapter for a walk-behind tractor?

The adapter for the Neva walk-behind tractor is a frame design with a trailing mechanism. A seat for an employee or a box for transporting cargo can be installed on its upper part. With front driving rubber wheels and driven rear wheels, you get a controlled self-propelled mechanism on 4 wheels. The mini tractor can be used for various household works.

Since the Neva walk-behind tractor has 2 hitches, a driver’s seat is attached to one of them. Another unit may be equipped with a hiller or other similar tool. Garden work can be carried out in more convenient conditions.

Varieties of the adapter include the AM-2 model, equipped with a special frame and mechanism for awnings with a lifting lever. The result is a mechanism with a driver, moving at idle speeds up to 10, in the working position - 3 km/h.

Other options:

assembled dimensions – 1600*750*1270 mm:
adapter weight – 55 kg;
wheel track – 65 cm;
clearance – 27.5 cm.

The APM-350-1 model is used as a seat, or another set of equipment is installed instead of a chair. And then the land can be cultivated with two hillers and two plows at once. It is on this adapter that the body is secured for transporting heavy compact units.

Hillers used in canopies for walk-behind tractors

The most time-consuming work is cutting furrows for planting and growing plants. A hoe in the hands of a gardener is a universal tool. The hiller for the Neva walk-behind tractor was created before other mounted implements. The difference between a disk and a plowshare hiller used in a canopy lies in the principle of their operation. The hiller, created from shaped parts connected to each other as an arrow, allows you to spread the soil on both sides with a sharp end with an oval through a curved profile. The devices are distinguished:

unregulated;
adjustable;
Dutch.

A non-adjustable hiller is a design with a fixed working width. This is the simplest device that creates a uniform camber during operation due to the fixed wings. Such a hiller can work on furrows where the planting was carried out taking into account its profile. This tool works in furrows up to 30 cm wide and is not capable of hilling rows of potatoes. They use sheds with light cultivators on rods up to 12 mm thick. The device is energy-intensive due to its profile, used only moderately wet soil. Its use on a powerful walk-behind tractor is unjustified.

Hillers with variable grip are the most common tool on personal farmsteads, since the principle of its operation resembles a hoe. This tool can be adjusted to fit any row spacing. A double hiller is also used. When passing, part of the soil is rolled back into the furrow, making the ridge lower. However, not only the camber is regulated, but also the hilling depth.

The Dutch type hiller is a compromise between the first and second options. The height of the stroke and the narrow furrow are obtained by raising the flaps to the desired height. When folded they are almost double. They rise up like the wings of scoop butterflies. Due to the high wing, the earth does not fall into the furrow, the ridge is high.

For the Neva walk-behind tractor, the disc hiller is considered the best canopy. Two disks installed at a certain distance are set at the desired angle of escape. The fastening system is adjusted, forming right size row and stroke height. Such devices cost several times more than wing-type ones, but they work more efficiently and place less load on the walk-behind tractor.

When working with a hiller, you should use a reduced speed and replace rubber wheels with metal ones for better traction with the soil. After work, clean all fastening parts from the earth and lubricate them with thick lubricant - lithol or grease.

Using a potato digger with a walk-behind tractor

The operating principle of potato harvesting equipment is based on removing tubers from the ground and sifting. Harvesting is done manually. For each pass of the walk-behind tractor, potatoes are removed from one row.

Potato digger for the Neva walk-behind tractor of the KKM-1 vibration type is used on light, dry soils with low humidity. At the same time, there should be less stones in the ground than 9 t/ha. The device consists of a plowshare and a grid on which the soil is separated and the potatoes remain on the surface. The device is single-row, with a productivity of up to 0.2 ha/hour. A strip 37 cm wide and 20 cm deep is grabbed, trimmed and passed through the grate. There are other modifications based on the same principle of vibration screening of the cut stroke.

A vibration device called Poltava has a similar effect. The potato digger has a larger grip, but a smaller recess. The device is designed to work in soil with average humidity and composition.

Review of the Neva walk-behind tractor - video

One of largest manufacturers motorcycle equipment for gardeners and gardeners in Russia and the CIS countries is the company "Red October - Neva". The company owes its leading position in the market to the Neva walk-behind tractor, the assembly of which the company mastered more than 10 years ago.

During its existence, “Neva” acquired a number of modifications and acquired a variety of attachments. Thanks to this, the walk-behind tractor is able to perform wide range work, both in soil cultivation and in livestock farming, on a small scale. It does this type technology is very popular in private farms.

The history of the creation of the Neva walk-behind tractor

The company "Red October - Neva" was founded in 2002 and is a subsidiary of OJSC "Red October". This machine-building plant begins its history back in 1891 in St. Petersburg.

At that time, the company worked in a young, developing industry, electrical engineering. Participated in the construction of the first power plant of the same name in the union. At the end of the 20s, after a merger with the Zinoviev motorcycle plant, the production of automobile spare parts and L-300 motorcycles began.

Since 1940, “Red October” began working for the aviation industry, and the company continues its activities in this direction to this day. Aviation and rocket engines, as well as their components, for such famous machines as the Yak series of combat aircraft, K-50 and K-52 helicopters were and are produced in the workshops of this enterprise.

In parallel with the aviation industry, the plant over the years of its existence has developed and produced more than 10 million engines for mopeds and motorbikes. In 1985, he mastered the production of mini agricultural machinery represented by the hero of our story, the Neva walk-behind tractor.

The walk-behind tractor received its modern rebirth in 2002, when a specialized subsidiary, Red October - Neva, was created. Now the company is engaged in the development and production of 4-stroke engines, walk-behind tractors, cultivators and attachments.

Technical characteristics of the Neva walk-behind tractor

Motoblocks "Neva" have gained popularity among the population, primarily for their reliability and build quality; the percentage of defects at the enterprise does not exceed 1.5%. The machine has good stock strength, thanks to high-quality materials and high-tech processing methods.

The device has 2 forward speeds and 1 reverse, there is also a lower row, for this you will have to transfer the belt to another pulley. Travel speed from 1.8 to 12 km/h. The heaviest model produced weighs 115 kg, and the weight of the transported cargo can be up to 400 kg.

Engine of the Neva walk-behind tractor

To complete its walk-behind tractors, the Red October – Neva company uses DM-1K engines made in Kaluga and engines of famous world brands “Honda”, “Subaru”, “Briggs&Stratton” of various power.

Gearbox of the Neva walk-behind tractor

The Neva gearbox is gear-chain, sealed, in an oil bath, and is distinguished by its reliable design. Lightweight and durable body made of aluminum. Such a gearbox develops a force exceeding 180 kgf and is capable of ensuring reliable operation on all types of soils.

A nice addition is the axle decoupling mechanism, which allows you to direct the drive to only one wheel, thereby greatly facilitating control.

Transmission of the Neva walk-behind tractor

Torque from the engine to the gearbox is transmitted using a V-belt drive with a tension roller. This design is time-tested, inexpensive to implement, simple and reliable. If the walk-behind tractor during operation encounters an obstacle with the working elements of the hitch, the belt will simply begin to slip, thereby protecting the engine and gearbox elements from damage.

Review of models of walk-behind tractors "Neva"

All modifications of the MB-2 walk-behind tractor differ essentially only in the installed engine. Otherwise, the design remains unchanged, only minor modifications are possible.

Main modifications:

MB-2K– the letter K in the name means that this model is equipped with engines of domestic Kaluga production “DM-1K” of various powers. Semi-professional 6.5 hp and professional with a cast iron sleeve 7.5 hp.
MB-2B– here the letter after the two indicates that the walk-behind tractor is equipped with professional power plants Briggs & Stratton. These engines are also divided into semi-professional and sleeved professional with the prefix PRO in the name. Models power 6; 6.5; 7.5 hp
MB-2S– this modification is powered by engines from the famous Japanese company “Subaru”. These are reliable, professional, overhead camshaft units EX-17D 6hp. and EX-21D 7hp
MB-2N– with a Honda engine with a power of 5.5 and 6.5 hp. These engines use the most modern developments of the legendary Honda, have excellent efficiency and high torque. Thanks to this, despite the low power, they ensure durable and reliable operation of the entire unit.
MB-23- a series of heavy walk-behind tractors with powerful power from 8 to 10 hp. engines. In the name, the letter after the numbers, just like the middle ones, indicates the engine manufacturer - “Subaru”, “Honda”, “Briggs & Stratton”. The machines are designed for long-term, intensive work on any type of soil, the cultivation depth of which, on these machines, is increased to 32 cm.

Particularly noteworthy is the only model MD-23SD with a Subaru diesel engine with a power of 5.5 and 7 hp. Despite the low power, due to the fact that it is a diesel engine, the model is the most powerful among the MB-23 line.

Attachments for walk-behind tractors "Neva"

For soil cultivation cutters are installed on the Neva walk-behind tractor instead of wheels. Their number, depending on the type of soil, can reach eight pieces. IN basic kit Includes 4 cutters, additional cutters must be purchased separately.

For plowing using a walk-behind tractor, you will have to purchase a plow and a special hitch-mount. You will also need metal wheels with lugs for better traction with the soil.

For hilling single-row and double-row hillers are used, which can also be divided into unregulated and adjustable. It is necessary to choose a hiller based on the quality and composition of the soil. Metal wheels of increased diameter with lugs are used with hillers; this allows increasing the agrotechnical clearance.

To mechanize potato planting using the Neva walk-behind tractor, it is recommended to use potato planters KS-1, KS-1A, KST-. This not only facilitates the planting process itself, but also creates necessary conditions for further inter-row processing and harvesting using attachments. This is facilitated by an even planting and fixed row spacing. The average productivity of such planters is 0.2-0.25 hectares per hour, the distance between tubers is maintained at 25-30 cm, and the width between the rows is adjusted by the track of the unit within 60-70 cm.

There are two types of potato diggers for the walk-behind tractor we are considering:
fan and vibrating (screen type). The use of both is quite justified in small areas and fully cope with their responsibilities.

Fan diggers for deepening and cutting the soil have a solid metal knife at the base, and metal rods fan out from the knife. The layer of earth raised with a knife is sifted through the rods, and the potatoes are retained and rise to the surface. The productivity of this type of digger is approximately 0.15 hectares per hour.
Vibrating or screening potato diggers. The main working elements of such a mounted machine are: a ploughshare and a vibrating grid for sifting the soil. The ploughshare lifts the soil with potatoes onto the grid, and the grid with a belt drive from the walk-behind tractor sifts the soil, leaving clean potatoes on the surface. For Neva it is recommended to use models KKM-1, KMU-3, KK-6 and others. The average productivity of such equipment is approximately 0.2 hectares per hour.

Mowers for the Neva walk-behind tractor also come in two types:

Segmental, with cutting knives made of hardened durable steel, moving forward in a horizontal plane. In the best possible way work on flat surfaces, with cereals, evenly standing grasses. For example, the KN-1.1 mower, the cutting width reaches 110 cm, and the productivity is approximately 0.35 hectares per hour.
Rotary- V lately are becoming increasingly popular, displacing segmented mowers from the market. The working elements here are knives mounted on a rotating disk. Such mowers are not afraid of small uneven surfaces, and thick grass and small bushes are also not an obstacle. Kaluga mower "Zarya" and "Neva-KR-05" produced by the company "Red October - Neva" vivid examples of this family.

Especially for the Neva, the SMB-1 auger snow blower is produced at the plant that is native to the walk-behind tractor. The auger is designed in such a way that snow moves from the edges to the middle, to the nozzle. The direction of snow ejection is adjusted by turning the snow blower screen, and skids on the body adjust the cleaning height.

The utility rotary brush is used primarily for removing debris. The 90 cm wide gripper can be installed at an angle of up to 90 degrees. Maximum productivity up to 2200 m/2.

Cart trailer – the load capacity of such a cart reaches 400 kg. Equipped with a driver's seat, brakes and a reliable hitch.
