Reviews of the Virax mower "Wirax" 1.35 or Z-169

There are a lot of different attachments available for mini tractors.
Among them is a mounted rotary mower, Virax, which is produced in Poland. The mower is produced for different tractors in terms of power, therefore the cutting width is different. The greater the tractor power, the wider the mower's grip can be, which starts from 1.35 meters, then 1, 65 and 1.85 meters. The Virax mower has been in production for a long time and has proven itself to be reliable and of high quality, among other similar models. Virax 1.35 is produced for mini tractors with an engine power of 20 horsepower or more.

This mower is not suitable for all mini tractors, since its weight is 300 kg, but its reliability lies precisely in the use of cardans and bearings. Wirax – 1.35 is designed for mowing high-yielding and laid-down grasses and is mounted on the rear linkage of the tractor's hitch system.

When mowing, the grass is placed in swaths for ease of further processing. The mower is equipped with a protective cover and a cardan shaft.

However, let’s turn to the reviews of users of the mower, we offer a review from the popular Farmer forum:

“Yesterday I mowed with a Virax 1.35 mower on DF244. I mowed about 1.5 hectares in a day. The field was unfamiliar, weeds, hogweed up to 2 meters high, in some places it was taller than the cabin. I mowed in 3rd gear, but in 4th gear it was hard for the tractor, apparently because of the thick, heavy grass.

1. I confirm the recommendation to place knives with the ground side up - so /-. Less knife wear. Only 2 knives per plate, not 4. We move the knives from one plate to another - they begin to work with a different cutting edge.

2. Cloth protection gets in the way. I whipped up a frame, and a banner cover over it - it gets in the way, you can’t see anything what’s going on, and helps to pack thick grass between the drums - I understood this only by the black smoke from the chimney. I took the cover off, it’s good that I didn’t buy it.

3. On tall grass and an unfamiliar field, it is convenient to mow the first passes with the frontal - lower it down, push the bucket towards you as much as possible, crush the grass, if there are obstacles - you can immediately feel it. Then we drive in circles along the newly mowed strip.4. There were anthills, grass and earthen stumps from prairie dogs - they were blown to pieces. Bushes, birch shoots 1.5-2 centimeters in diameter - they cut without noticing.

5. The protection against obstacles (spring) must be tightened by 5 centimeters from the maximum free position - otherwise it often bounces off on small uneven areas in the field.

6. I was glad that I took the DF with a cabin. Without a cabin, mowing will be very inconvenient; grass pieces fly from the mower, and a lot of midges rise up. 7. The mower must be accelerated in neutral gear, smoothly, and then set off.”

“I also mowed 1.5 hectares each, under the same conditions, but I didn’t notice any difference in wear. But the turf and anthills noticed her. The anthills are still somehow not very good, they mostly fly back, but as soon as the knife reaches the ground, fountains shoot higher than the roof; in fact, on the roof there is the same layer of dirt as on the mower. He even manages to throw up the hood.”

“I hooked a kasarka and went to test it. I didn’t mow much, 50 meters there and 50 meters back, I wanted to mow more, and the time was 10:30 p.m., the overall impressions were positive. The downside is that if you drive on a flat road, it seems fine, but if you drive on bumpy roads, it’s hard, of course, a little hard, but I don’t have any weights in front, I haven’t installed them yet. You will have to rearrange the wheel because you have to drive along the edge of the windrow, swerve a little and you run into the windrow. Pros: It works quietly, the tractor does not shake like with a segment one, everything is perfectly mowed through the anthill without being a hindrance, perennial stubble mows through everything, the segment one could not mow an uneven area. I mowed on the first tr-or, I didn’t feel the load, but the load spins the drums is decent on an internal combustion engine.”

Design features of Wirax mowers

The main purpose of the equipment of the famous Polish brand Wirax is the regular mowing of lodged and dense high-yielding cultivated grasses. Models of this brand are installed on the rods of the rear standard linkage system of the tractor used, guaranteeing the strength of the connection and the balance of the agricultural machine. While working in the field, the mown grass is evenly and neatly laid in the swaths, which provides convenience for unhindered processing of the area.

The Virax mower consists of a supporting frame - a frame welded from durable steel pipes, sheets and profiles. The frame forms a movable, but quite strong unit, used to install the structure on a 3-point tractor mechanism. The mower frame has a 2-arm axle designed to activate the equipment and allow it to maneuver freely on uneven areas.

The factory assembly of each Wirax brand mower includes a beam, for the production of which metal pipes are used. They connect the supporting frame and the frame of the used hitch using a hinge joint. Another function of the beam is to fix the drive mechanism.

The main frame is shaped like a box made of profiles, sheet steel and pipes. Inside it there is a bevel gearbox designed to transfer the drive from the tractor’s cardan shaft to a drum equipped with cutting blades. The intermediate links in transmitting force are the middle shaft and the built-in V-belt drive.

Tools

Unfortunately, most owners of walk-behind tractors and mini tractors do not always use them to their full potential, and in order to mow the lawn or field, they hire other equipment. Although, it is quite possible to do this with a rotary mower. The cost of such a tool is prohibitively high, so it is much more profitable to build it yourself. Let's look at how to make a rotary mower from available materials below.

The cost of a rotary mower primarily depends on its working width. In addition, the price is affected by:

number of rotors;
the quality of the material used in the manufacturing process;
company manufacturer;
appointment;
availability of additional functions;
mower type;
rotational speed;
the height of the grass she mows;
weight, etc.

The cost of a rotary mower for a mini tractor starts from 300. At the same time, it has a slightly larger grip and dimensions. Also, such mowers are characterized by higher productivity and are suitable for processing medium-sized areas.

A rotary mower for a tractor is much more expensive, its average price is 1500. At the same time, the working width doubles or even triples. This equipment is designed to work on large areas of land.

Operating principle

Rotary mowers operate on the principle of cutting grass by starting the machine on which the mower is mounted. The description is very schematic, but the principle of operation of a rotary mower is not very complicated. But this simplicity is misguided because the results it produces are truly astonishing in terms of quality and scale of execution.

This type of equipment is very popular among farmers, after all, it allows you to process many hectares of area , mowing various grass surfaces. Here I want to mention a mower for tall grass and uneven areas, which will delight you with high-quality lawn mowing.

Device Features

The Lisicki company produces agricultural equipment that is durable, reliable and of high build quality. The main specialization of the company is rotary mowers designed for processing large areas. The equipment is attached to small wheeled tractors. This allows you to save on fuel when making hay, mowing weeds and tops. The mower is based on a durable frame on which the cutting device and working units are installed.

The product consists of the following parts and assemblies:

paired discs, the moving parts of which are located under a casing that protects the operator and guides the movement of the mowed grass;
a hydraulic system that provides lifting and lowering of the unit for transportation and operation;
distribution mechanism, including a shaft, pulleys and drive belts;
fastenings and ties that give the frame the desired position in space.

The main feature of the Lisicki mower is the absence of a chassis. Thanks to this, the designers managed to reduce the weight and dimensions of the machine, reduce its cost and increase mobility. The force is transmitted to the gearbox via 3 belts, which reduces the likelihood of them breaking and helps to extend their service life.

Bringing the equipment from the transport position to the working position is not difficult; it is done manually and takes only a few minutes. It is enough to attach the frame of the product to the tractor brackets and connect the hydraulic system hose to the fitting. After this, several movements are used to set the position of the frame and the height of the cutting knives. The transfer to the stowed position is carried out in the reverse order and does not require much time.

Reviews and prices

Depending on the modification and cutting width, the cost of new Lisicki lawn mowers made in Poland varies between 70-95 thousand rubles. Transportation costs and the purchase of spare parts (belts, knives) can add to this indicator. Used equipment, depending on the configuration, model, technical condition and degree of wear, is sold for 30-45 thousand rubles. Renting agricultural machinery will cost the customer 500-750 rubles per day. In case of leasing, the cost of use can be halved.

Anton, 44 years old, Stavropol.

I run a farm that raises cattle for milk and meat. For some time I used segment mowers, which skipped and often broke. I compared the equipment by price, consulted with colleagues, studied the opinions of experts and decided to settle on Polish equipment. The mower performed well in practice - it easily copes with dry and fallen grass and cuts off bushes. Productivity is high; under good conditions, it takes about an hour to process a hectare. I use the product not only for the field, but also for mowing the lawn.

Vasily, 34 years old, Voronezh.

He inherited a dacha with a large plot of land overgrown with grass. There was an old but working tractor in the barn. I decided that I could make a profit from the field without much effort by selling cut grass to farmers to feed cows. I bought a Polish Chanterelle mower with a working width of 135 cm. The attachment works without problems, quickly and efficiently. After passing, it leaves behind even swaths of grass, which are then easy to collect. I help my neighbors mow their lawns and clear their neglected gardens of weeds.

Brand history

The company began its formation in 1994, when they began to produce the first models of various agricultural machinery. It was this vector of development, aimed at farms and their support, that was approved, which was the right decision at that time.

With time and production growth, the company began to open its business in other parts of Europe. This decision not only increased the production of equipment, but also provided a significant number of jobs where these factories are located.

In 2012, Wirax merged its two subsidiaries, located in Turkey and Romania, into one large corporation. The company cooperates with many Turkish manufacturers of equipment and related components, which allows timely response to constant changes and new trends in this market segment .
