TOP 7 best models of Chinese walk-behind tractors: features of heavy devices and customer reviews

Just 20 years ago, in the minds of buyers, China was closely associated with something low-quality and cheap. But the country quickly realized that blind copying won’t get you far. Their own companies began to appear. The quality of goods has increased significantly, and famous brands from all over the world have gradually begun to move their enterprises to the Middle Kingdom. Today, a huge number of goods are produced in China, and companies do not hide this. In most cases, the quality is completely preserved, but the price drops, which is a definite plus for the end buyer.

Motoblocks were no exception. Some companies that previously produced goods in their homeland could not boast of an affordable price tag. True, the quality often decreases. It all depends on the brand holder. How well and responsibly does he approach monitoring the work process. We carefully studied the modern market and found several walk-behind tractors that can boast excellent build quality. Some of the brands presented below are purely Chinese. Others are only graduated in this country, having another homeland. In fact, the question of the initial place of origin of the company is not so important. Ultimately, the product is still Chinese.

The best Chinese walk-behind tractors with diesel engines

A diesel engine is considered the best option for such equipment. It is economical, easy to repair, has high efficiency and makes it possible to significantly save on fuel. There are also disadvantages associated with the overall weight and the difficulty of starting in cold weather. But we are talking about walk-behind tractors, and it is unlikely that you will start the unit in winter. Another disadvantage of diesels is the price. The product costs more than its gasoline counterpart, so the issue of saving on fuel is controversial. Considering the already low consumption of engines with power up to 10 horsepower, the purchase will pay off for many years. But you will definitely be able to save on maintenance. The diesel engine is more reliable and easier to operate.

Top 5. HERZ DPT1G-135E

Rating (2021): 4.06

11 reviews taken into account from resources: Yandex.Market, All Tools

• Characteristics

  Average price: 60,000 rub.

• Class: heavy
• Engine power (hp): 8.97
• Volume: 404 cubes
• Track width (cm): 100-135
• Number of speeds (forward/reverse): 3/1
• Gearbox type: gear-chain
• Weight (kg): 158

The Chinese manufacturer HERZ clearly decided to experiment and developed a walk-behind tractor with the most original layout. The engine is moved forward, which makes control somewhat difficult, since the weight is shifted and efforts have to be made to hold the unit in the desired position. The cutters are mounted directly on the power take-off shaft. Attachments are also installed there. This is quite convenient and expands the capabilities of the device, but due to the unusual layout, not all modules can be installed here. But it is possible to adjust the width of the furrow, and since the walk-behind tractor is heavy, it can be used to process even virgin soil.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Simple, maintainable design
• Easy maintenance
• Economical fuel consumption

• Questionable module layout
• Limited use of attachments

China has given us many brands that are now called the best. For example, Lifan produces excellent engines, both gasoline and diesel. They can be seen on a wide variety of equipment. Including on walk-behind tractors. The unit is entirely manufactured by Lifan, which, apparently, is what makes it so popular among buyers. And the brand lived up to expectations. The diesel engine has a long service life and produces enough power to process virgin soil and transport heavy loads. The disadvantage is the weight of the product, but, as users note, given its dimensions, it is maneuverable and easy to control.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Long engine life
• Protection of the motor and other modules
• High cross-country ability

• Volume: 296 cubes
• Track width (cm): 80-120
• Number of speeds (forward/reverse): 3/1

The Chinese walk-behind tractor belongs to the medium category, although its total weight without attachments is 147 kilograms, which is quite a lot with a 5-horsepower engine with a volume of less than 300 cubic meters. However, this also has its advantages. The unit is easy to handle and keep it in the right direction. When processing virgin soil, you may need a little help, but, judging by the reviews, the effort is not that great and is not always required. A big advantage is the connection of the awnings via the power take-off shaft. This system allows you to attach almost any equipment. In terms of versatility, this is the best walk-behind tractor, and the fact that it was developed by China does not detract from the advantages.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Universal mount via PTO
• Thoughtful ergonomics
• Adjustable furrow width

• Not the most powerful diesel engine

The most reliable engine The manufacturer uses a diesel engine of its own design, which is distinguished by reliability and high maintainability. The design is designed in such a way as to be able to get to most parts without completely disassembling the unit.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 82,000 rub.

• Class: heavy
• Engine power (hp): 9.5
• Volume: 418 cubes
• Track width (cm): 110
• Number of speeds (forward/reverse): 2/1

This is a heavy diesel walk-behind tractor that can be used with any attachment. It is capable of not only plowing the ground, but also mowing and pumping water. The set includes 8 cutters and a coulter. The rest of the equipment will have to be purchased. The 9.5 horsepower motor easily copes with heavy tasks, for example, processing virgin soil. At the same time, it does not have to be pushed; on the contrary, as users note, it is often difficult to cope with the unit and catch the desired direction. Even at first speed, the engine produces impressive results. The plowing width of 110 centimeters will also please you. Considering that we have a heavy walk-behind tractor in front of us, the issue of processing speed becomes extremely relevant.

Advantages and disadvantages

• High power motor
• Compact, heavy unit
• Repairable engine

• Quite difficult to control, especially on virgin soil
• Unregulated plowing depth

Cultivators made in China

Many people are wary of Chinese manufacturers of any equipment.
Consumers have the impression that such companies save on literally everything: on parts, materials and components. As a result, you may encounter a problem when the equipment simply fails even before it has had time to be fully tested. The same opinion applies to Chinese-made cultivators. In this article we will dispel the myth that everything Chinese is bad. There are manufacturers who strictly monitor not only the quality of their equipment, but also the assembly process.

Top 1. PATRIOT Boston 6D

Rating (2021): 4.67

Best value for money Powerful diesel walk-behind tractor, capable of plowing both already cultivated land and virgin soil. The model combines high-quality assembly and an affordable price, which is approximately 20% lower than its closest competitor.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 54,000 rub.

• Class: intermediate
• Engine power (hp): 6
• Volume: 400 cubes
• Track width (cm): 105
• Number of speeds (forward/reverse): 2/1
• Gearbox type: gear
• Weight (kg): 101

Many buyers call the walk-behind tractor the best for their money. The unit is diesel, so the price tag of 54 thousand does not seem so high. The motor power is enough to process virgin soil, and the operator does not have to make any effort to move the block. Another advantage is the packaging of the product. In addition to the walk-behind tractor itself, you also get a coulter and 8 cutters of different sizes. Not without its shortcomings. As buyers note, the instructions for assembly and first launch are very uninformative. It is difficult to understand and a lot of information is simply not indicated. Fortunately, we live in the Internet era, which means the problem can be easily solved with a couple of clicks.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Powerful motor
• Possibility of processing virgin soil
• 8 cutters included
• Wide track processing

• Uninformative instructions
• The kit often does not include anthers

Rustic, daring, yours. The best walk-behind tractors according to users of the Onliner.by catalog

Potato fever is in full swing, and if you haven’t yet dug up juicy root vegetables that have absorbed the power of the earth, it’s time to take a closer look at motorcycle friends who will help you reduce all suffering and even enjoy the process.
For farmers with a sense of beauty, we have prepared the top 5 walk-behind tractors and cultivators, which were most often preferred by users of the Onliner.by catalog. The gold went to the FERMER FM-909MSL walk-behind tractor. Users unanimously praise it for its low gearing and comfortable operating speed. If you are tired of watching your neighbors run after their cultivators, then this unit is for you. It starts slowly and maintains a smooth speed, but it is not cheap at all - from 1,530 rubles. Power - 9 “horses”; this is more than enough to cultivate a standard plot of land around the estate or in the country. Plowing depth is 15-30 cm. Average weight for such characteristics is 121 kg. Reviews are almost flawless.

The Shtenli 1900 Pro walk-behind tractor took silver in user ratings. Its power is as much as 18 horsepower (however, they write that only 14 is indicated in the passport), and the price is slightly lower than the previous one. The weight of the unit is large - 175 kg, but it is not criticized for this, but for its low quality. They write that you can’t assemble a walk-behind tractor without a drill, an angle grinder and your own bolts, that everything is held together by snot and quickly breaks down: “The ignition switch immediately broke; there are many cavities, and indeed places that must be blown out with a compressor; after several engine starts, the starter failed (it was repaired independently); a little expensive for this miracle of Chinese engineering.”

Third place - FERMER FM-811MX motor cultivator. The suffix “light” would suit this walk-behind tractor. The engine power is 7 and a half “horses” with a weight of 90 kg, and the price is from 819 rubles, that is, in all respects, a lightweight version. At the same time, the cultivator has excellent reviews, and no one complains about the low power. Praised for reliability, compactness and quality.

The fourth most popular motor cultivator, Patriot Tesla-3 [460302115], is clearly loved for its low price - from 263 rubles. Unlike the rest of our top units, it is electric, weighs only 13 kg, and its power is 1400 W - less than two “horses”. But, judging by reviews from open sources, it is quite suitable for greenhouses and small vegetable gardens. People praise it for its value for money, but criticize it for its dull cutters and poor ergonomics.

And the honorable fifth place went to the domestic heavyweight “Belarus 09N” with Japanese roots. 176 kg, 9 “horses” under the hood and a very low-budget price - from 2726 rubles per piece. This titanium is good for large areas, but thanks to the differential it is also suitable for summer cottages. Users are ecstatic about the powerful engine of the Honda GX270, but complain about the Belarusian clutch and gearbox. In general, the device is good, but not without nuances characteristic of domestic technology. Here's what catalog users write about him (spelling and punctuation are copyrighted):

“The Honda engine is beyond praise, and (((clumsy Belarusian clutch. "

“The engine is made in Thailand, the quality is good, the clutch from a Minsk motorcycle, no matter how hard I try to adjust it, is enough for 2 hours of work.”

“I don’t understand why, having bought this not very cheap unit, I should think that if I work with a cutter, then the clutch should “drive” a little, and if I don’t work, then it shouldn’t. (This secret information was given to me at the service center).”

The best walk-behind tractors with a gasoline engine

The gasoline engine in walk-behind tractors is used more often than its diesel counterpart. And this is despite the fact that to produce the same power, a gasoline engine requires much more crankcase volume, and fuel consumption increases. But the manufacturer can significantly reduce the weight of the device. For example, there are often models weighing less than one hundred kilograms. There is practically no such thing among diesel engines. In addition, the gasoline version will cost less, which becomes the main and fundamental argument when choosing a walk-behind tractor

• Volume: 196 cubes
• Track width (cm): 73
• Number of speeds (forward/reverse): 1/1
• Gearbox type: gear
• Weight (kg): 82

This Chinese walk-behind tractor is worth buying only if you need to process an area with difficult terrain. It has a 6.5 horsepower motor on board, which is applicable to medium-sized devices for 10 acres or more. In fact, it is better not to take on such work. There is only one forward speed, and the width of the plowed furrow is 73 centimeters and cannot be widened. The performance of the device is very low, but it has better maneuverability. With it you can easily bypass any unevenness and not a single piece of land will remain uncultivated. In addition, a power take-off shaft is installed here, which expands the capabilities of the walk-behind tractor, which can be used, for example, for pumping water or mowing.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Better maneuverability

• Poor performance
• Very small track
• Few speeds

• Volume: 270 cubes
• Track width (cm): 80-120
• Number of speeds (forward/reverse): 2/1
• Gearbox type: chain
• Weight (kg): 143

Looking at the characteristics of this walk-behind tractor, you can’t help but wonder why it has such a low price. On board the unit there is a 9-horsepower engine with a volume of 270 cubic meters. This partially corresponds to the heavy class, as does the weight of 143 kilograms. A separate advantage will be the expandable track. You can increase the distance between the discs up to 130 centimeters. And all this for a price of 25 thousand. The answer to the question about price can be easily found in user comments. The device has a number of shortcomings that you will have to eliminate yourself. For example, weak attachment of the handle to the body. They also note unreliable crankcase protection. All this can be removed, but you will have to put in some effort and time.

Advantages and disadvantages

• The best characteristics for its price
• Furrow expansion by 30 centimeters

• Weak design
• You will have to fix the defects yourself
• Manufacturer's warranty is only 3 months

High maintainability The unit is equipped with an engine of the brand’s own production, but its design is almost completely identical to the more popular model from Lifan. This makes the motor as repairable as possible, and finding spare parts for it is not difficult.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 29,000 rub.

• Engine power (hp): 6.5
• Volume: 196 cubes
• Track width (cm): 70
• Number of speeds (forward/reverse): 3/1
• Gearbox type: gear-chain
• Weight (kg): 65

Here we have a medium-power walk-behind tractor, designed for processing plots of up to 15 acres. A motor of CARVER’s own design is installed on board, but, as the manufacturer itself states, the design is in many ways similar to the Chinese Lifan unit. It is suitable for spare parts and even entire modules, which is very convenient for repairs, since Lifan is more popular and is easy to find in almost any store. As for the advantages of the model itself, users note better maneuverability and the ability to process areas with difficult terrain. However, this is not surprising, given the closely spaced wheels and the width of the plowed furrow of only 70 centimeters.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Interchangeable engine parts
• High maneuverability
• Convenient control

• Narrow furrow
• No power take-off shaft

Russian walk-behind tractors

Motoblocks from famous foreign manufacturers, although they have better reliability and quality compared to ours, still this does not justify their high price. Often their design and engines are technologically noticeably more complex, which in turn requires qualified service, original, expensive spare parts and consumables. And besides, it is very difficult to modify them even slightly with improvised means to perform certain tasks.

Russian walk-behind tractors are largely aimed at the Russian consumer, with an excellent price-quality ratio, easy to use and maintain. Yes, and you can improve them with your own hands using improvised means.
