Cultivator Kraftsman 900 series - garden and vegetable garden

Lawnmowers

If you have to process large areas with an area of 20-30 acres, then performing this work with a trimmer is very problematic.
After all, it must be constantly carried on the shoulders and because of this, rapid fatigue sets in. In such cases, it is recommended to use a self-propelled lawn mower. Operators only have to point the device in the required direction. All Craftsman lawn mowers can operate in three modes: collecting vegetation in the grass catcher, side discharge of grass and mulching. The latter mode has two advantages: there is no need to collect grass (as after side discharge) and there is no need to empty the grass catcher.

The tank for collecting vegetation is made of light and durable nylon thread. Craftsman lawn mower blades are made of high-quality steel that will not break off when hitting hard ground.

User manual

The operating instructions for the Kraftsman walk-behind tractor provide the following rules:

The cultivator is controlled not forward, but backward; the operator walks backward and moves the walk-behind tractor behind him. Therefore, you need to be careful during the process to ensure that no damage occurs.
You must first inspect the area where the work will be carried out. It is necessary to remove stones and various objects that may interfere with the functioning of the walk-behind tractor.
There should be no other people or animals in the field while cultivating the soil.
You cannot drive a car while drunk.
The operator must be dressed so that clothing parts cannot get under the cutters.
Because the machine vibrates strongly, the operator must wear gloves.
Before work, it is necessary to check the strength of connections and assemblies. If necessary, tighten the bolts.

Do not work on steep slopes. After work, you need to clean the unit from dirt and grass residues. The walk-behind tractor must be stored in a dry place. Since gasoline is highly flammable, place the vehicle away from open flames and flammable objects.

Review

The best middle-class gasoline cultivator, according to many users, is TARPAN TMZ-MK-03. It not only fully meets the requirements for units of this type, but also significantly exceeds them, approaching the performance of heavier models. The petrol cultivator Tarpan TMZ-MK-03 combines relatively low weight with a fairly powerful engine. This option is excellent for processing developed, soft soil. But on hard ground, the model has difficulty going deep due to a lack of downforce. A wide plowing strip allows you to prepare a full-fledged bed in one go.

Minuses

too light for heavy soil, additional weight required;
Quite large and not suitable for transportation in the trunk of a car.

Review from a real buyer

A very easy to operate domestically produced cultivator. You can store it anywhere - it will fit anywhere. Inexpensive, but very reliable. I can give practical advice: do not overload the gearbox - this is the weak point of the model. A nice bonus is that the cultivator works quite quietly.

The best inexpensive gasoline cultivator

The budget compact cultivator Champion GC243 allows you to effectively cultivate the soil in limited space. The model is equipped with a 1.7 l/s two-stroke gasoline engine and a friction clutch.

Smooth running is ensured by two wheels made of cast rubber, and the work is performed by means of two cutters capable of plowing strips of soil 24 cm wide.

The low weight of the cultivator ensures ease of operation, and the installation of a 1.3-liter fuel tank eliminates the need for the owner to frequently refuel the unit. Another feature is extremely simple controls. The Champion GC243 model is widespread on the Russian market and is popular among summer residents.

Caiman

If you decide to purchase a cultivator, we advise you to pay attention to equipment from the manufacturer Cayman. This is a reputable company that creates cultivators and other units for farmers

The production of equipment takes place in France, which in itself is a guarantee of quality.

A distinctive feature of this company’s cultivators is that they are not only highly productive, but also very convenient. The technique is specially designed to relieve the farmer's spine from the load. The cultivators Mantis, Viking, Texas, Champion, Patriot, Loplosh, Tarpan are also convenient.

Caiman

Therefore, you can forget about pain in the lower back and back, which often accompanies farmers even after working on the most modern equipment. After all, Cayman does everything for your comfort.

The real calling card of this manufacturer is that the Cayman cultivator is equipped with a powerful, reliable and easy-to-service Subaru engine. There are several models on which this particular motor is installed.

This Japanese engine is known throughout the world and is rightfully considered one of the best.

The main advantage of this motor is that it is capable of providing the necessary power not only to the unit itself, but also to additional devices.

Therefore, if you want to make your Cayman cultivator with a Subaru engine as functional and useful for the farm as possible, attachments will be the addition that can significantly expand the capabilities of agricultural machinery.

After all, various accessories will turn your cultivator into a truly universal assistant on the site. Among the most common attachments are the following:

A plow that serves to soften hard layers of soil, making the land as convenient as possible for cultivating and planting all kinds of crops;
The hiller, who prepares the soil for planting, hills it so that the soil absorbs moisture well;
To weed the ground from unnecessary plants and weeds, it is best to use weed weeds;
A potato digger is ideal for extracting root crops from the ground;
Rippers, which serve to effectively loosen even the most durable and dry soil;
Various cutters with which you can perform a fairly large amount of various work;

Hitches and adapters so that you can connect a trailer or any other additional equipment to the cultivator;
Adapters for easy and convenient control;
Carts to transport any additional cargo around the site;
Grousers, which serve to remove excess soil from the furrow.

As you can see, the “arsenal” that Cayman cultivators have is large enough to replace a number of different other devices, so if you are looking for truly universal agricultural equipment, you can trust this manufacturer.

Subtleties of choice

When choosing a Craftsman motor-cultivator, you need to be extremely careful, because only with proper selection will the device fully cope with its tasks.
First of all, you should pay attention to the width of the cutters, which can be in the range of 20 cm. This is an extremely important parameter, as it has a direct impact on productivity

If your summer cottages are of different sizes, then it is best to give preference to collapsible cutters. They boast their versatility and allow them to process almost any area. The second parameter that needs to be taken into account when choosing a Craftsman tiller is the gearbox. The presence of such an element allows you to select a certain speed during operation. The ability to change gears will also be relevant if it is necessary to use attachments. As for attachments, not all presented models can boast the ability to connect them. This function greatly expands the capabilities of the cultivator, with which you can plow, cut and even hill up crops.

History of creation

Craftsman Corporation was founded in 1926. This event took place in the United States of America, where the main production line is located to this day. Initially, the company specialized in the production of garden tools and construction tools.

In 1948, the company changed its specialization, launching the production of lawn mowers. Currently, Craftsman supplies all types of garden tools to the world market, including mini tractors and snow removal equipment.

Garden unit from

The Kraftsman cultivator also takes a worthy place in this series. The quality of the products is evidenced by the fact that the company's equipment has been kept in American families for generations. At the same time, the quality of the instruments does not suffer over time.

General information, purpose and design features

Craftsman Corporation was founded in the mid-1920s in the United States. Initially, the company produced construction tools, and then gradually switched to the production of garden equipment. At the end of the 1940s, the manufacturer announced a change in specialization in favor of the production of lawn mowers. Today, the Craftsman brand is one of the leaders in the production of gardening and cultivation equipment. In addition to cultivators, the company produces high-quality mini-tractors and snowblowers.

The Craftsman 900 Series 24 is ideal for developing virgin lands. For this, it has sufficient weight and a powerful motor. Thus, the equipment is able to fully reveal its capabilities when working with heavy soils. Ergonomics and ease of use are ensured by the function of adjusting the width and depth of the grip. It is also possible to install a variety of attachments to significantly increase the already high productivity of the cultivator.

The cultivator is quite powerful and unpretentious in operation. In addition, it is easy to operate thanks to its relatively low weight, as well as an adjustable handle. By the way, the latter can be adjusted to suit your height. Thus, the operator will feel comfortable and will not get tired during long and painstaking work.

It is worth noting that the Craftsman 900 Series 24 is primarily designed for topsoil cultivation. A plow is used to cultivate virgin soil. The cultivator has proven itself well in cultivating open areas, as well as limited spaces with obstacles that must be constantly avoided. At the same time, you can check the very commendable maneuverability of the device.

Craftsman 900 Series 24 is extremely easy to use and does not require professional operating skills. All you need is the user manual or watching video reviews on the Internet. As a rule, many owners now choose the second option - it is faster and more entertaining.

It is noteworthy that the car is equipped with a primitive transmission consisting of only three speeds - two forward and one reverse gear. The gearshift lever is placed on a special handle. By the way, the handle has a comfortable ergonomic shape. Other controls for the walk-behind tractor are also located on it - in addition to the gearbox, these are gas and clutch.

Installing additional cultivation cutters allows you to select the optimal operating mode depending on the type of soil.

Among the other advantages of the walk-behind tractor design, we highlight the following:

A thoughtful design and convenient control system ensure a long service life and eliminate any inconvenience in operation. The car is equipped with an automatic clutch and throttle handle.
High-quality steel is used in the manufacture of elements, which significantly increases endurance
The cultivator is equipped with a powerful 4-stroke gasoline engine that provides decent performance throughout its service life.
The power plant is coated with Nikasil. This special substance serves as a support to protect engine elements from external influences, and thereby reduces wear of parts under peak loads.
The ability to install additional options significantly increases the capabilities of the cultivator and makes it a multi-purpose device, suitable for most tasks that lower-class equipment is unlikely to cope with.
The model is equipped with sharp cutting blades - cutters, which can be adjusted in height and also adjust the rotation speed. It is recommended to set it to the minimum values - this way you can achieve acceptable fuel consumption.
The existing safety shield prevents soil from entering the operator
Built-in security system. Responsible for automatically shutting down equipment in case of loss of control
Low octane fuel support. In particular, AI-92 fuel is considered the most popular for this model.
The basic package includes four tillers. They are four-section, designed for processing large areas.

Craftsman cultivators

The company was founded in the first quarter of the 20th century, but began supplying its products to the CIS countries only at the beginning of the 21st century. In addition to motor cultivators, production lines produce a lot of other garden equipment, lawn mowers and hand tools.

Advantages and disadvantages

Craftsman equipment has the following positive qualities:

The cutters installed on motor cultivators are made of especially strong steel and are specially hardened.
The cultivator elements have a reliable protection system that protects the working elements from solid soil fragments or rocky formations.
Large wheels with a deep tread pattern provide a high level of maneuverability and ease of movement even on soft ground.
The ergonomically shaped handles are covered with rubberized pads, which ensure reliable fixation of the equipment in the hands.
The handles are height adjustable, allowing the cultivators to be used for any operator height.

The disadvantage of the machine is its relatively high cost.

Tractors

If you need to work on large areas (golf courses, large parks and garden areas), then you can use a Craftsman brand garden tractor. There are two options:

Craftsman 27394

This tractor has a B&S Platinum V-TWIN engine with 24 horsepower, which is driven by an electric starter. The single grip width is 137 cm.

The grass is mowed using three knives at a height of 2.5 to 10 cm. The fuel tank holds 11.35 liters of gasoline.

Craftsman 27390

There is a Briggs&Stratton Platinum engine with 20 hp. Kraftsman 27390 has only 2 knives, and the bevel height remains the same - from 2.5 to 10 cm. The weight of the model is 234 kg.

The highest grass cutting speed forward is 8.3 km/h, and backward - 4.6 km/h.

Advantages and disadvantages

In the manufacture of soil cutters, high-strength hardened steel is used, which increases the wear resistance of the cutting elements. In addition, it prevents mechanical damage from stones and tree rhizomes.

The cultivators of this series are equipped with large diameter wheels, which are supplemented with lugs. This has a positive effect on the cross-country ability and maneuverability of the vehicle.

According to farmers' reviews, the cultivators do not have mechanical or structural defects. Dissatisfaction is caused by the high cost of equipment and problems with spare parts.

Model 29932

This cultivator model is considered one of the most popular. A distinctive feature of the equipment is that it is designed to work with the soil before planting various crops. The cultivator boasts several transport wheels, providing a high level of maneuverability and safety.

Model 29802

The Craftsman 29802 motor-cultivator is an innovative model, which is a modernized version of the previous one. A distinctive feature of the device is its durable blades, protective shields and wheels for transportation. This model turned out to be very powerful thanks to a four-stroke gasoline power unit that produces 5.5 liters. With.

Basics of Correct Use

The technology in question is, without any doubt, very reliable, regardless of the intensity of use. The manufacturer tested the device under the most difficult conditions. Thus, the developers were able to officially confirm the high strength of the equipment. Based on this, you can be sure that not only theory, but also practice makes it possible to determine the reliability of a cultivator. In this regard, the manufacturer recommends running in the walk-behind tractor to give the internal parts the opportunity to break in, and thereby adapt to local conditions.

Let's consider several stages of running in:

Check the engine and other components of the cultivator before the first start. If necessary, you can add new oil and gasoline
When first started, the engine should run for 40 minutes. Initially, idle speed will be sufficient, then you can gradually increase it
Checking the clarity of gear shifting. This will enable the operator to understand the principle of operation of the gearbox, as well as select the appropriate mode for himself.
Moving the cultivator onto the ground. This is one of the most important procedures in which you can fully evaluate what a walk-behind tractor is in principle capable of in a new state.
During cultivation, transportation of goods, hilling and other types of work, the load on the cultivator should not exceed half of its maximum capabilities. For example, when transporting goods, their weight should be 200-300 kg out of the maximum permissible 600 kg.
After 15 hours, the running-in can be considered complete. Before full use, it is recommended to carry out a repeated technical inspection, as well as change the oil and fuel.

Malfunctions and their elimination

The Kraftsman cultivator is highly durable and reliable. But after some time of operation, malfunctions may occur. Some of them can be eliminated on your own, while more complex ones require the intervention of specialists.

If the walk-behind tractor does not start, there may be several reasons:

The switch is in the wrong position, then you need to switch it to the “I” position, not the “O” position.
There is not enough fuel in the tank - you need to add fuel to the required volume.
The fuel filter is dirty - it needs to be changed or cleaned.
The spark plug is faulty - the part should be replaced.
The fuel supply line is clogged and needs to be cleaned.
