There are two diesel modifications of the Patriot Boston available on the agricultural market, which have several differences - the Patriot Boston 6B and the more powerful Patriot Boston 9DE. The Boston 6B model has a diesel engine with 6 hp, and the Boston 9DE, respectively, with 9 hp. Another important difference is that the Boston 9DE has, in addition to a manual starter, an electric starter, which makes starting the engine much easier.

Externally, the models differ not only in size, but also in weight - the Boston 9DE is heavier than its younger brother. It is mandatory to have protective wings that prevent dirt and clods of earth from getting on the operator. An arch is securely attached to the frame, which not only serves to help transport the walk-behind tractor, but also plays a protective role. Wide pneumatic wheels provide stability and good maneuverability on any ground.

• The weeder will help in weeding the rows and rid the crops of weeds.

Tips for choosing

To choose the right walk-behind tractor, you must consider the following criteria:

• weight of the structure;
• cutter rotation method;
• motor power.

For small plots and personal gardens with an area of ​​no more than 20 acres, ultra-light mini-tractors are preferred. Such devices can even be transported in the trunk of a car. System control is available for both teenagers and elderly people. For ultra-light walk-behind tractors, fuel created from a gasoline-oil mixture can be used. But professional machines, such as Patriot Ural, are much better suited for processing large farm plots.

Features of operation of Patriot Boston
