Reviews

Anton:

“I have been using the Texas TX 602B cultivator for two years now. No complaints, very satisfied. I didn’t even expect that everything could work so smoothly. I changed the filter in a timely manner, and the car was back in service. The Briggs & Stratton engine is reliable.”

Valentin:

“Our Texas 534 cultivator was digging in, we saw in the video that the loads were getting caught. We tried it too, but it’s another matter, the work went as expected. Another time we tried placing three cutters on each side, and it got better. We are happy with the car, it is powerful and reliable. We do all the plowing in the spring. We transport loads in the fall during harvesting, 300 kg can be easily pulled.”

Basil:

“In our area, walk-behind tractors are more common. But, if the plot is small, 30-40 acres, then you can get by with a cultivator. The Texas 601 with the American Briggs engine has been running for two years now. 5.5 horses is enough power to easily do everything on the site without overworking too much. I have wanted such a unit for a long time, and now I don’t regret it. There were minor breakdowns, but the spare parts were inexpensive, I replaced them myself, everything was fine.”

Operation and Maintenance

Run-in

To extend the life of Texas motor cultivators, reduce breakdowns and unproductive downtime, first of all, you should run in the machine. At the beginning of the break-in procedure, the engine should be idled, then gradually begin to work in a gentle mode - up to 50% of the load for 10-13 hours, various types of soil cultivation are allowed.

At the break-in stage, the main components and mechanisms of the machine are broken in, so you should pay attention to their functioning: the clarity of gear shifting, the condition of the moving parts of the structure, chassis, wheels, the presence of noise. Upon completion of the break-in, change the oil and perform a technical inspection of the cultivator again.

Fuel, oil

Gasoline cultivators Texas consume unleaded gasoline AI-92, fuel consumption is quite economical - 1 l/h, with increasing load, gasoline consumption may increase. The recommended oil grade is SAE 30.

User manual

Recommendations for the use of Texas motor cultivators are similar to the operating rules of other similar units; they are set out in detail in the instructions for each cultivator; we outline the basic requirements:

• You should thoroughly study the instructions and specific features of the model, its technical characteristics, especially methods for emergency stopping of the machine.
• The use of the cultivator for work that is not provided for in the instructions, or exceeding the maximum loads, is prohibited.
• It is prohibited for persons under 16 years of age to operate the cultivator, persons not familiar with the instructions, those in a sick state, or those under the influence of alcohol.
• When working, it is necessary to maintain a safe distance of 20 m from nearby people, animals, and property.
• A thorough inspection of the equipment should be performed before each use.
• Perform preventive maintenance as scheduled.

Basic faults

The most common failures of the cultivator motor and problems with the gearbox. Engine problems (won't start) can occur due to a clogged air filter, muffler, carburetor contamination, and spark plug combustion.

Noise in the gearbox occurs due to lack of oil, oil leakage - in this case, the seals will need to be replaced.

Significant vibration of the cultivator can be caused by improper installation of attachments. If the cutters stop rotating, the clutch cable may not be adjusted or the fasteners may have become loose.

The key to the longevity of any equipment is its proper operation. To extend the life of your assistant and avoid breakdowns, you should follow certain rules:

• It is necessary to make sure that the treated area is not littered with stones, metal objects, or pieces of brick.
• Care should be taken when working near trees to avoid the cutters becoming entangled in the roots. You can’t loosen the ground after cutting it down; the knives will definitely break on the roots.
• A proven method of prevention is to always have a small amount of gasoline in the fuel tank, this will help avoid rust and condensation.
• In case of malfunctions of the cultivator automation, it is highly recommended not to troubleshoot the problems yourself; it is wiser to use the services of specialized centers.

Technical characteristics of Texas TX 601

Scope of delivery of the Texas TX 601 TG cultivator:

• cultivator;
• 6-mills;
• user manual;
• boxes

The company was founded by Andreas Petersen in 1960 in Denmark. At the initial stages of its formation, the company produced its agricultural machinery based on foreign analogues, thereby borrowing all technologies and production methods.

This continued until 1966, when the company released its first cultivator, produced entirely using proprietary technologies, which marked the beginning of the formation of a large company.

In addition to the manufacture of walk-behind tractors and cultivators, the company’s specialists are engaged in the production of a wide variety of equipment for the agricultural sector:

• lawnmowers;

For more information about the operation of the Texas lawn mower, watch the video:

• wood splitters;

• trimmers;

• sweepers, etc.

In addition, various engines, generators, as well as high-pressure washers come off the plant’s assembly line. The company sells its products through numerous distributors around the world, which allows it to be quite popular, and the brand itself is recognizable among potential buyers.

Terms of use

Thanks to a similar design, the Texas series of walk-behind tractors has interchangeable parts, which significantly speeds up the process of finding parts and repairs. Despite this, each modification has its own technical features. But in any case, there are approved standards that must be followed during the first and subsequent use of this type of equipment. Let's consider the basic rules for using the Texas 532 walk-behind tractor:

The owner is required to read the instructions for the walk-behind tractor. Although, it must be admitted, the user manual is in many ways similar to the rules for using competing walk-behind tractors. So, after competently studying the instructions, you can begin to start the power unit for the first time. During this procedure, you should try to use different ways to stop the engine, so that later you don’t have to look for the right button again in a critical situation. The power unit for the Texas 532 walk-behind tractor is used strictly for its intended purpose. In other words, it cannot be used in areas that are not described in the user manual. It is strictly forbidden to allow people who have no idea what a walk-behind tractor is to operate a walk-behind tractor. For example, these could be children under 16 years of age. Before starting the walk-behind tractor, you need to make sure that there are no people or animals around it. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the distance between a person and a walk-behind tractor should be 20 meters. Due to the presence of cutting elements, the walk-behind tractor has high safety regulations. This means that a person who gets behind the wheel of this car while drunk will be immediately fined. Texas 532 has great potential, but only if you install additional equipment. The walk-behind tractor has proven itself well on the specific road surface for which it is adapted. Here everything depends on the performance and design features of the walk-behind tractor itself. For efficient and reliable operation, the walk-behind tractor operator must be dressed appropriately: for example, he must have boots with non-slip soles. In addition, long parts of the wardrobe will have to be laid out. Otherwise, there is a risk of them getting under the cutting elements of the walk-behind tractor. After inspecting the area being treated, only then can you begin to work. To ensure that nothing interferes with your work, it is necessary to remove all unnecessary objects to prevent them from getting under the cutters. The power plant of the walk-behind tractor, like all its component parts, requires timely maintenance. Regular inspection never hurts. Moreover, there is a high probability that after long-term use you will have to adjust the connections yourself and tighten the bolts so that the structure does not fall apart. Texas 532, despite the presence of one headlight, is usually used during the daytime

This will avoid sad consequences. It is important to remember that checking the level and replacing all consumables on the Texas 532 walk-behind tractor is a necessary procedure, but before doing this, do not forget to turn off the engine and other elements that require power from the battery. The version of the walk-behind tractor with a gasoline engine is not recommended for use in enclosed spaces to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. The fuel tank should not be filled to the full, otherwise it will spill out during operation, which can result in contact with various important elements, such as the power supply.

How to use?

The Texas technique is quite easy to use. Before starting the engine, you must carefully study the instructions. Do not use the machine in an area that is prohibited by the instructions. The area to be processed must be examined for the presence of foreign objects; under no circumstances should they fall under the cutters. The equipment requires regular inspection of its condition, adjustment of connections and tightening of bolts. Do not forget about changing the oil in the gearbox.

Walk-behind tractors should only be used during the day. Repair work must be carried out with the engine turned off and the machine parts stopped. Breakdowns of walk-behind tractors can occur for the following reasons:

• the treated area is littered with debris and stones;
• when working near trees;
• when parts fail.

In order to avoid unexpected breakdowns, it is worth taking preventive measures, as well as preparing the equipment for operation. To do this, the unit must run idle for some time, and then it should be tested on light soil. Another important measure is monitoring the presence of fuel in the tank. This procedure will eliminate rust and condensation.
