Walk-behind tractors Salyut - technical specifications, operating instructions

Salute walk-behind tractors, according to Yandex query statistics, rank second in popularity among Russian users, second only to Neva in leadership.
There are two main varieties of the Salyut walk-behind tractor: - Salyut-5 was developed and produced since the early 90s by the Salut MMPP, the predecessor of the current Moscow enterprise JSC Salyut Gas Turbine Refinery, and for more than 20 years of history has become widely known throughout the country . The walk-behind tractor is entirely manufactured in Russia, with the exception of foreign-made engines, which have recently been installed on Salyut-5. From 2002 to 2012, Salyut placed an order for the assembly of the model at , after disagreements among the management, the order was canceled and Agat began to produce its own walk-behind tractor under the Agat brand, while according to representatives of the Salyut plant, the famous Omsk gearbox on Agat was not supplied.

— Salyut-100 was developed by the Moscow enterprise JSC NPC Gas Turbine Construction “Salyut”, its release was timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the plant, and is a logical continuation of the Salyut-5 walk-behind tractor, or its deep modernization. It was first presented to customers at an exhibition in 2013. Representatives of the company are not shy and do not hide the fact that Salyut-100 is entirely produced and assembled in China, under the control of JSC NPC Gas Turbine Construction Salyut, which bears all warranty and post-warranty obligations for this product as a manufacturer.

The Salyut-5 and Salyut-100 walk-behind tractors use engines from the best domestic and foreign companies with high technical and economic indicators. The engine type is indicated in the passport for each specific walk-behind tractor.

Motoblock "Salyut-5" - design features.

Thoughtful design solutions from domestic aviation industry engineers allowed the walk-behind tractor to take its place in the market, winning the trust of consumers. They are in demand both on a personal plot and in a small farm; they are designed for cultivating small and medium-sized areas.

The main advantage is the use of a gear reducer. Typically, these are used on heavier machines, and in walk-behind tractors of this class they mainly use chain drives. Such a gearbox is not afraid of heavy loads, including impacts from stones. found in the soil. The grip is provided by the tension of the belts. The Salyut-5 walk-behind tractor has two forward gears and one reverse gear; by rearranging the belt, you can get two additional forward gears and one rear gear.

Power take-off from the walk-behind tractor to drive mounted implements.

The power take-off for driving the attached implements of a walk-behind tractor is carried out, as a rule, from the middle groove of the driven pulley. To drive stationary mounted implements (woodworking machines, feed choppers, etc.), you can use the shaft located on the right side of the walk-behind tractor gearbox. A pulley (sold separately) with a protective cover is attached to the shaft, and a V-belt for driving attachments is included in their replacement parts kits.

The Salute walk-behind tractor is resistant to tipping over, thanks to its forward and low center of gravity. The steering column is height adjustable and rotates 180 degrees, which is very convenient for the operator. The steering wheel and wheels of the walk-behind tractor are very easy to remove, this helps to quickly put it in a state for transportation.

The advantages of the Salyut-5 walk-behind tractor include a wide range of attachments and trailed units. In addition to the official manufacturer of the walk-behind tractor JSC NPC Gas Turbine Construction "Salyut", additional equipment for this equipment is also produced by other manufacturers in Russia. Work on cultivating the soil, mowing grass, watering and spraying plantings, cleaning streets and sidewalks from debris and snow, transporting goods and other work is carried out using various trailed implements: rotors with specially shaped knives (mills), plow, hiller, mower, pump , snow blower, brush, sprayer, cart, etc., installed on the Salute walk-behind tractor.

Motoblock Salyut-100 - design features

All the best developments are embodied in this product. In some respects, Salyut-100 is superior to its predecessor, the legendary Salyut-5. The most important difference is that the gear shift is moved to the steering wheel; you don’t need to bend over to engage the required gear.

The clutch handle is of a modern type, with variable force: when pressed, resistance is felt, and when pressed to the handle, the holding force is minimal. The steering wheel is reliable and adjustable in all directions, which expands the functionality of the walk-behind tractor when using the front and rear hitch. Both couplings are very strong and reliable. The frame is also robustly constructed.

The gearbox is geared, which means it is reliable, durable, requires virtually no maintenance and allows the use of engines of various power levels. The motor life of the gearbox is more than 3000 hours. The use of such a gearbox is one of the most important advantages of Salyuts.

The configuration of the Salyut-100 walk-behind tractor also refers to its advantages.

A special pride is the three-row cutters with forged sickle-shaped knives made of 65g spring steel of the highest quality, with disks for plant protection. There is also an additional bracket for attaching attachments, expansion bushings for wheels, and a dipstick for checking the oil level in the gearbox. a set of keys

Repairs and malfunctions

Despite the fact that walk-behind tractors of the Salyut model range are reliable, in some cases malfunctions occur in the gearboxes. Let's look at the main problems you may encounter and how to deal with them:

1. Weak return after oil change (no sealing, the oil seal needs to be reinstalled and sealant applied).
2. A metallic noise is heard (usually due to lack of lubrication, service should be carried out immediately).
3. The mechanism hums (there is an excess of mixture in the gearbox, the excess liquid needs to be drained).

This is interesting: repair of the gearbox of the Neva MB 2 walk-behind tractor.
Other malfunctions may also occur related to the breakdown of bearings or gears, as well as anthers; here it is necessary to immediately replace worn parts.

Important! If the device is non-separable, then if there is a serious malfunction, you will have to buy a new one, which is why, in order not to encounter unnecessary costs, the oil fluid on such elements is replaced more often.

Currently, special equipment includes many high-quality structural elements. However, even despite this, it can be subject to breakdowns. Often the failure of components is associated with a lack of lubrication, which has an extremely detrimental effect on the metal. That is why, in order to avoid unnecessary waste of funds, it is recommended to carry out maintenance in a timely manner. In this case, the working apparatus will perform all the duties assigned to it for a long time.

Advantages and disadvantages

Firstly, as said earlier, its size is very convenient to use. A plus will be a gear reduction, with which you can change the speed to a suitable one and there is also a belt drive.

It is important to know : original belts can hardly withstand a long time, so experienced walk-behind tractor users advise immediately replacing them with more durable ones.

A plus is also the control of the gearbox using the steering wheel. There is no need to bend and break your back; you can safely use it without causing problems to your spine.

The control levers now have a plastic handle, which is convenient, since previously the handles were made of metal and could pinch your hand.

The only drawback of the walk-behind tractor can be considered the belts, which, as we already know, should be replaced immediately.

Maintenance

Manufacturer's recommendations are important when using any tool, but it is extremely important to know how often and what kind of oil to fill.

It is advised to change the oil for the first time after the first 25 hours of operation, but this is only the first time. With further use, the oil can be changed at 90 - 100 hours of use of the unit.

You can act in stages:

• To remove the turf, remove the crust from the top layer;
• Go deeper to lift lumps using 1st gear;
• Change direction frequently;
• Work on dry ground.

Owner reviews

There are a lot of positive reviews about these walk-behind tractors on the Internet.
Pavlovsky Oleg, Krivoy Rog
“If anyone still doubts the Salyuts with the Chinese Lifan engine, I can say with confidence that it is in vain.
The Chinese, just like ours, know how to make anything - both high-quality goods and disposable junk. I have had my assistant for four years now. The only problem is the belt. The neighbor advised me to immediately change it, but not with the original one, but to pick up a similar one, otherwise it will simply start to slip off over time.” Alex Stroev, Voronezh
“I’ve been working with a Salyut 5 walk-behind tractor since 2006, still an Agatov one. We got used to each other and worked together. I don’t advise you to think too long about choosing a walk-behind tractor. Over time, new models will appear, and perhaps they will have some shortcomings. Just choose a model whose shortcomings will not bother you too much and work for your health.”

• Maximum power – 4.8 kW.

The equipment uses about 1.5 liters of fuel per hour of operation, so it can work for a little more than 2 hours without refueling. For gasoline walk-behind tractors, this indicator is very good.

Object structure

The walk-behind tractor itself has a fairly standard device, which is shown in detail in the following schematic photo:

As stated earlier, the Salyut 100 walk-behind tractor is equipped with a 4-stroke Lifan 168F-2B unit. This development from the Middle Kingdom has proven itself to be excellent thanks to the presence of air cooling. The owner of the device does not have to worry about overheating of the internal parts and continues to work for quite a long time.

The Lifan 168F-2B engine is a representative of the OHV engine category and is complemented by a special system that protects against dust and dirt. The machine is started manually. The working volume reaches 0.196 l, and the rotation speed is 3600 rpm. Individually, the part weighs about 16 kg. The design features of the motor itself are shown in the following diagram:

As for the clutch handle, it is made according to current requirements with variable force. The point is that during pressing there is practically no resistance felt.

The steering wheel is made of high-quality materials and shows its reliability even in the most unexpected situations. It can be easily adjusted in any direction, which is especially important when working with the rear and front hitch.

The gear reducer does not require constant maintenance and will allow the use of engines of completely different power. It is no secret that the motor life of the gearbox exceeds 3 thousand hours.

Reviews from owners of the Salyut 100 walk-behind tractor

Many people noted the compactness of the unit, which allows the “assistant” to be transported in the trunk of a regular passenger car. The performance was also quite surprising, because with a power of 6.5 liters. s., in an hour of use the owners managed to process about 3 acres. Naturally, when working with virgin soil, the speed decreases.

In cases with particularly heavy soil, the cutters included in the kits turned out to be absolutely powerless, so people had to buy an additional plow. Owners constantly note the versatility of the model, and it performs well in literally all areas. The reliable gearbox copes even with complex tasks, and the seals are protected by metal rings.

But even such a seemingly ideal unit has its drawbacks. Owners talk about significant vibration that is felt during operation. Often you have to wear special gloves. Experts explain the occurrence of such a problem by poor engine balancing characteristic of Chinese products.

The inability to see the oil level in the tank can also be considered a problem, because to determine it you have to completely drain all the contents and refresh the substance. To see the process of working with the Salyut 100 walk-behind tractor, you can watch the corresponding videos.

How much to pour the mixture

The amount of liquid that is poured into the mechanism directly depends on a number of factors, namely:

• the volume that is set directly by the manufacturer;
• recommendations regarding the amount of oil;
• design features of the mechanism;
• the amount of liquid drained from the device.

Taking into account all these nuances, you can choose the optimal value at which the device will work best. As a rule, about two liters of transmission fluid are poured into this part of the walk-behind tractor. To determine the reliable amount of this component, you can take a wire 70 centimeters long, and then bend it and insert it into the mechanism. As a result, at least 30 centimeters should be smeared on it (this is considered the norm). If the indicator is less, then you need to add fluid.

Important! If maintenance is performed, it is necessary to fill the liquid to the level, otherwise rapid wear of a part such as the gearbox will be observed.
