The Agro walk-behind tractor is a multifunctional agricultural module for performing agricultural work on household plots and farm plots of small and large areas. The unit was specially developed in 1996 for a class of heavy agricultural implements called Agros (Russia).
The manufacturer of the Agro walk-behind tractor is constantly working to improve motor vehicles, modernize its individual assembly units and parts, increasing demand. The walk-behind tractor is included in the heavy category of professional units, characterized by high power, long-term operation and ease of use. Thanks to its large weight and increased traction force, the Agro agricultural mechanism performs all soil cultivation operations.
How to change the oil for an Agro walk-behind tractor
Auto mechanic, specializes in agricultural equipment.
Currently, various devices are used for soil cultivation. Most often, mechanized devices such as motor cultivators are used for plowing large areas. At the moment, there are different versions of this equipment, but each version provides for timely maintenance. Here we are talking not only about the engine of the installation, but also about the gearboxes. These elements on the Agro walk-behind tractor require appropriate control, otherwise they will have to be repaired. In this case, you will need to consider in detail how to properly change the oil in the popular Agro walk-behind tractor.

DIY repair
To repair the clutch of an Agro walk-behind tractor with your own hands, first of all, you should understand what kind of malfunction we are talking about, since a number of damages cannot be repaired at all and require replacement of the consumable element. Let's look at the main types of faults:
- the release cable has come off (to eliminate this breakdown, you need to check the device for integrity, and then fix it in the same place; you do not need to disassemble the mechanism for this);
- the basket is damaged (these products are made of steel or cast iron, so in case of minor deformations, straightening can be done; this requires completely removing the structural element);
- the release bearing is jammed (here you need to squeeze out the tension cable and try to return the device to its place, but there is no need to dismantle the entire mechanism).
If the ceramic disk is damaged, the basket bursts or is severely deformed, and the release bearing is worn out, then repairing the part is unwise, since the structural element must be replaced, but there is no need to completely change the clutch of the Agro walk-behind tractor.

Spare parts and repairs
The model has a reliable design and relatively rarely requires repairs. Repair in most cases comes down to preventive maintenance.
However, more serious damage also occurs:
- problems with the gearbox;
- consumption of lubricant in the ratchet;
- unsatisfactory condition of the cylinder gasket;
- fuel system clogged.
If necessary, such breakdowns can be easily eliminated by repair or replacement of components. The latter option is especially popular, since spare parts for the Agro walk-behind tractor can be purchased on the official website or bought used from unofficial dealers.
Possible alterations
Often, owners of such equipment want to modify it to better suit their needs. For this purpose, the Agro walk-behind tractor is most often converted into a miniature version of a tractor. This is due to the fact that this model combines wide functionality as well as small dimensions.
It should be remembered that the power indicators of the product will not change, which is why it will not be able to perform tasks of increased difficulty. The popularity of this type of modification is due to the simplicity and availability of components. It’s easy to turn a walk-behind tractor into a tractor using ready-made adapters. Similar units and other spare parts can be purchased at Agropoint in Ufa.

However, if desired, you can make it yourself, guided by ready-made drawings from an old car seat, as well as additional fasteners. In addition, device owners often make an electric starter for the Agro walk-behind tractor with their own hands, which is caused by poor performance of the standard ignition system.
Attachments
Motoblocks of the Agro brand can perform different work, such as:
- plow the land;
- cultivate;
- spud;
- make even beds;
- remove snow, sweep the area;
- transport construction waste, crops, snow, and much more.
Most often, owners purchase additional attachments for the Agro walk-behind tractor, such as potato planters and potato diggers. With them you can plant a crop very quickly and then dig it up. In this case, the percentage of damage to tubers will be minimal. You will need to collect potatoes from the surface of the ground.
Trailers allow you to transport different loads. The lugs create better grip on the ground and also make the equipment heavier. With the help of mowers, you can cut grass on lawns or make hay for animals for the winter. Keep in mind that mowers are different for different purposes.
The cost of a walk-behind tractor will depend on which attachments it is sold with. If you buy the unit itself, the price will therefore be much lower than with the included attachments. Many craftsmen, to save their money, make attachments themselves.
Using Attachments
This type of agricultural equipment is relatively rarely purchased in a standard modification, since attachments can significantly expand the functionality.
Be sure to read: Motoblock Neva and attachments for it
The following types of equipment are most popular among consumers:
- plow model PN - designed for loosening various types of soil;
- unit ANM-4 - with its help it is possible to convert the device into a small tractor;
- tillers - for arable work;
- mowers modifications KN-1, KM-0.5 - for removing unwanted plants and weeds;
- brush ShchP-09 - used for cleaning road and other surfaces;
- trailer PTM-500 is a universal device that allows you to move cargo over fairly long distances;
- specialized models designed for collecting and processing tuberous vegetables;
- snow blower modification SB-2B - allows you to effectively clear the territory of snow, up to 1-meter snowdrifts.
Owners of such a unit have the opportunity to use a universal mechanism that allows them to attach a harrow, plows and other devices of a standard design to the device.
Typical faults
Despite today's variety of brands and modifications, they all experience common, typical malfunctions of walk-behind tractors, which can be roughly divided into;
- Starting problems and engine malfunctions;
- Problems with the chassis;
- Gearbox malfunctions;
- Incorrect clutch operation;
- Malfunctions in the operation of cooling systems, lubrication, etc.
It’s worth mentioning right away that the repair of a diesel and gasoline walk-behind tractor differs significantly. Failures of the diesel engine of a walk-behind tractor are much less common, but they are much more serious than those of its gasoline counterpart. Therefore, in most cases, it is better to entrust troubleshooting of a diesel walk-behind tractor to a specialist, and at home you can only perform its adjustment, adjustment and elimination of minor faults.
Breakdowns and repairs
The Agro unit differs from other heavy-duty models in its long service life and reliable operation.
The operation of the walk-behind tractor is influenced by operating conditions, proper running-in after purchasing the factory unit, and timely maintenance and care.
If the unit is under warranty, then all repair work must be carried out by the module manufacturer. The owner has no right to open the seals and repair it. If the malfunctions of the walk-behind tractor are minor, then you can adjust its operation yourself.
Possible breakdowns and damage are presented in the repair instructions for the Agros walk-behind tractor and have a general appearance. Among them are the following:
- problems with starting and engine malfunctions;
- The chassis does not work;
- malfunctions in the gearbox (gearbox);
- clutch failures;
- the lubrication and cooling system is broken.
If the engine does not start, the reasons and solutions are as follows:
- There is no fuel in the fuel tank. Fill the tank with fuel.
- The hole in the gas tank cap is clogged. Open the tank cap, clean the hole and reinstall.
- Fuel is leaking from the carburetor. It is necessary to adjust the carburetor of the walk-behind tractor.
- Fuel system clogged. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank, rinse with gasoline and blow out the carburetor jets, inspect the spark plug.
- Filter clogged. Replace or clean the filter.
If the engine operates with noise, knocking or jerking, it is necessary to adjust the valves on the Agro walk-behind tractor using special probes.
If the idle speed is unstable, the gap in the gearbox cover may be too large, so it is necessary to adjust the gap to 0.2-0.5 mm.
A decrease in the power of the walk-behind tractor is possible in the following cases:
- clogging of the carburetor, gas hose, air filter;
- crankcase cuff failure;
- carbon deposits in the combustion chamber.
Elimination methods include inspection, cleaning all parts, and blowing off the hose.
If the starter of the Agro walk-behind tractor fails or the fuse blows, the best solution is to replace unsuitable parts.
Malfunctions of the gearbox chain appear as a result of its jamming. The clutch can be damaged if the chain breaks, so it needs to be replaced.
The following failures and breakdowns are possible in the gearbox:
- the kinematics inside the gearbox are disrupted;
- spontaneous gear changes or their complete absence;
- oil leak on the shift shaft.
It is better to repair the box in special workshops. A gearbox is a complex unit, and you can’t do it without knowledge of mechanics.
Ignition system
In the “why there is no spark” problem, the reasons for the breakdown lie in the details, such as:
- candle;
- magneto;
- cap;
- high voltage wire.
If there is no spark or sparks weakly, it is necessary to adjust the intermediate gap and check the condition of the electrodes. The gap norm is 0.8 mm.
When there are changes in the gap between the intake and exhaust valves on the engine, they are tightened or relaxed to the permissible value.
A low compression ratio has been detected in the cylinder. All worn parts are removed and replaced.
Cleaning the muffler will also help get rid of the spark problem.
Engine replacement
If the engine for an Agro walk-behind tractor breaks down and needs to be replaced, use an adapter kit. Instead of a native motor, imported ones with a cylindrical shaft with a diameter of 25 mm are suitable:
- Weima - with a power of 13 hp. With.;
- Subaru EX 27 - 9 l. With.;
- Honda 9 - 13 l. With.;
- Lifan 9 - 13 l. With.
Replacing the engine is as follows:
- remove the motor from the cultivator and dismantle the clutch mechanism;
- remove the drive cup under the conical shaft and replace it with one machined under the cylindrical one;
- A walk-behind tractor clutch is installed on the imported engine and connected to the transmission.
Spare parts
With constant use of the machine, spare parts may wear out. Most often, parts of the clutch mechanism and bearings need to be replaced. There are no problems with choosing parts for Agro. They can be purchased both from official dealers of the company and in the open market.
Description of the brand "Agro"
is a Ufa enterprise - UMPO, specializing in motor industry. The production of walk-behind tractors in this series began in 1998, and the model itself appeared in the project back in 1996. Since that time, “Agro” walk-behind tractors (or “Agros” - the original name) have gained enormous popularity.
More than forty thousand cars rolled off the plant’s assembly line. From 2008 to 2011, Agro production was suspended, and then it was restored and continues to this day.
The popularity of the walk-behind tractor both in the first years of production and today is due to the high quality of spare parts, build quality, and the power of the unit.
Despite the fact that other Russian manufacturers produce equipment with more horsepower, Agros has not yet given up its leadership position, receiving the most positive reviews from owners.
Areas of application and design of the Agro walk-behind tractor
The Agro walk-behind tractor belongs to the class of heavy agricultural equipment. The model is intended for active use in both small and large areas.
The tasks that the Agro walk-behind tractor successfully copes with include:
- effective cultivation of the site, regardless of the type of soil and the number of weeds;
- hilling beds planted with root crops and other agricultural crops;
- weeding between rows and beds;
- mowing vegetation of different heights and thicknesses;
- clearing the area of snowdrifts;
- planting and harvesting potatoes;
- harrowing or plowing areas with virgin soils;
- transportation of luggage and gardening equipment with a total weight of up to 500 kg.
One of the main advantages of the Agro walk-behind tractor is its impressive weight. Thanks to the large mass, the equipment is pressed more tightly to the ground, which allows it not to slip and loosen the soil better, and also completely eliminates the unit’s sliding on the ice surface.
To manufacture the Agro walk-behind tractor, a standard single-axis design is used. The design of the model includes a power take-off shaft. In order to increase productivity, the manufacturer included a differential with manual locking in the walk-behind tractor configuration. This design feature allows the power of the unit to be evenly distributed on both wheels to improve maneuverability when moving up and driving in hard-to-reach places. A well-designed transmission of the walk-behind tractor allows it to move at any of four forward and one reverse speeds.
The engine of the Agro walk-behind tractor is equipped with a large fuel tank with a volume of approximately 5 liters. The large capacity of the tank in the design of the unit is due to its consumption of a significant amount of fuel - on average this figure is 2 l/h. work. All motor parts are made of durable metal alloys that are highly resistant to wear and corrosion.
The steering wheel of the Agro walk-behind tractor can be adjusted to the height of the operator. If necessary, it can be shifted relative to the original position in the vertical and horizontal plane by 30 ⁰. This feature significantly increases control accuracy when moving in hard-to-reach places.
Transmission malfunctions and ways to eliminate them
Every modern mechanized device has a transmission, and if there are certain malfunctions, it is not at all necessary to immediately buy a new element and change the transmission. In practice, there are a lot of mechanism malfunctions that can be eliminated without replacement. Let's take a closer look at the most common types of breakdowns:
- A hum when operating at high speeds or a metallic rustle (here you need to immediately change the oil for the Agro walk-behind tractor in the gearbox).
- Intermittent movement and kicks when shifting gears (it is necessary to replace the oil filter and add fresh oil).
- A strong metallic crack and a subsequent jolt with the cessation of independent movement (the clutch fork is being changed).
- Gears do not shift (there is a malfunction in the clutch, which requires its overhaul or full replacement).
- A strong metallic crunch while moving (lack of oil in the box, and in addition the need to completely overhaul the unit and change the lubricant).
In practice, there are still a lot of faults that you can fix yourself, but correcting them requires a lot of physical effort, as well as the necessary knowledge and skills, which is why it would be better to take the device to a service center, where specialists will carry out full diagnostics and repairs.
In this video you will learn how to change the oil:
What if the gearbox chain fails?
Such a breakdown will be indicated by stopping the rotation of the power take-off shaft of the walk-behind tractor, and the gearbox itself will simply jam. It is possible that the chain itself has burst, then it just needs to be replaced and the PTO will resume its operation. Also, very often owners of walk-behind tractors have problems with adjusting attachments. For example, adjusting a plow on a walk-behind tractor involves the following actions:
- We secure the hitch with 1 kingpin, where the play in the horizontal position should correspond to 5° - 6°.
- We adjust the plowing depth. The norm would be somewhere deep into the ground by 5 - 7 cm.
- Adjusting the angle of attack. Place the walk-behind tractor with the plow on a flat surface. We unscrew the adjusting screw so that the plow touches the ground. And unscrew the screw back until the back of the canopy rises 2.5 cm from the ground.
These are the main points of plow adjustment that need to be made when installing it. Of course, this kind of breakdown of the Agro walk-behind tractor, such as turning on the power take-off shaft or adjusting the clutch, can be eliminated with your own hands without much difficulty. Also, if the Agro walk-behind tractor malfunctions, you should contact its instruction manual, where all problems with such equipment should be described in more detail. If you still understand, for example, that you need to disassemble the imported engine of your unit, that you are not sure that you will do it correctly, then it is still better to turn to specialists. Still, service centers can do detailed diagnostics and determine where the problem is with 100% accuracy. So, when in doubt, it is better to turn to professionals.

User manual
Before using the Agro walk-behind tractor, you should read the instructions for use. It describes all the nuances of maintenance and operation of equipment.
Fuel and oil
A clear advantage of the unit is its unpretentiousness in choosing fuel. For these purposes, 80, 95 and 92 gasoline are used. The main thing is that the fuel is clean, without any impurities. Otherwise, the system may become clogged. The main nuance of the design is that the fuel tap is located at a height of 1.5 centimeters from the bottom of the tank, and if the gasoline in the tank is less than this mark, it will not flow into the carburetor.
In the description of the instructions for the Agro walk-behind tractor, it is recommended to use M-BZ/12G1 oil in the summer, and M-5Z/10G1 oil in the winter. If you don’t want to worry about changing the oil seasonally, then use a 15W-30 or 10W-30 series fluid. The lubricant should be changed every hundred hours of operation.
Run-in
This process should be given special attention, since the life of the machine depends on it. Before using the walk-behind tractor for the first time, you should fill it with oil and gasoline.
Next, let the device run for some time at medium power. It is better to use an empty cart for this.
Important! The procedure simply needs to be carried out so that the structural parts fit securely into the grooves. Don't forget about engine break-in
Don't forget about engine break-in
Attachments for the Agro walk-behind tractor

Technical characteristics of Agro walk-behind tractors
The official website of the Ufa manufacturer contains detailed information about the technical characteristics of such units, for example, the size of the hub and other components. To expand the functionality of the cultivators, it is possible to install attachments, which allows you to perform a wide range of tasks.
Among the most significant indicators, it is advisable to mention the following characteristics of the Agro Motoblock:
- UMZ-341 engine;
- weight 160 kg excluding additional equipment;
- dimensions 1.7x0.8x1.1 m;
- 6-speed transmission;
- maximum speed - 15 km/h when transporting goods on a trolley;
- permissible operating temperature is from -20 to +40 degrees.
Equipment for walk-behind tractor
The engine of the device is a 4-stroke carburetor type and is equipped with an air cooling system. Its power is 8 hp, and the total volume reaches 333 cm3. The design of the unit is borrowed from the Honda GX240, but unlike its Japanese counterpart, it differs in the ability to use low-quality fuel - A76 - AI92.
At the same time, adjustment of the carburetor of the Agro Motoblock is required relatively rarely due to the high-quality and reliable mechanism for controlling the saturation of the fuel mixture. This unit is equipped with convenient steering, but due to its heavy weight and design features, it has reduced maneuverability.
The clutch of the device deserves special mention, which often requires repair as a result of overloads or wear caused by intensive use. The model is equipped with a 5-liter fuel tank, which allows you to solve even long-term tasks without refueling.
Setting up components and mechanisms
How to determine for an Agro walk-behind tractor that the diesel engine does not start due to malfunctions of components and mechanisms. Everything is very simple, if after the following series of operations the engine fails when starting, then the problem is in the mechanisms:
- prepare fuel;
- feed it into the cylinder;
- turn on the ignition;
- we release all exhaust gases.
To determine the cause of failure in the nodes, you must first conduct a detailed diagnosis. The diagnostics performed will be able to identify the true cause of the malfunction, and this could be:
- the fuel supply path may be clogged;
- carburetor is broken;
- the air filter may not let air in;
- The hole in the gas tank cap is clogged.
It is also important to pay attention to the spark plug; if it is dry, it means that fuel is not entering the combustion chamber. What we do in this case:
- Completely drain the gasoline.
- Clean and rinse the tank.
- Clean the filter.
- Blow out the fuel supply hose.
- We blow out the jets in the carburetor.
- We fill the tank.

It is also important to pay attention to the spark plug; if it is dry, it means that fuel is not entering the combustion chamber. What we do in this case:
- Completely drain the gasoline.
- Clean and rinse the tank.
- Clean the filter.
- Blow out the fuel supply hose.
- We blow out the jets in the carburetor.
- We fill the tank.
- Open the faucet.
- We are cleaning the respiratory canal.

Engine of the Agros walk-behind tractor
The Agros walk-behind tractor is equipped with a 4-stroke single-cylinder carburetor gasoline unit of the UMZ-341 model with a power of 5.9 kW (8 hp) at 3600 rpm, with a forced air cooling system. In its design, this engine, developed in Ufa, is close to the Japanese Honda GX240 engine. The reduced compression ratio allows it to operate on gasoline of various classes (from low octane to high octane).
The location of the cylinder in the engine is inclined, at an angle of 25 degrees to the horizontal. The direction of rotation of the output shaft is left (counterclockwise), according to GOST-22836. A special feature of the UMZ-341 engine is its modernized lubrication system. The oil does not splash, and after filtering in a replaceable automotive-type filter, it is supplied under pressure to the rubbing elements through an oil pump.
Other characteristics of the UMZ-341 engine:
- Overall dimensions – 490 x 440 x 375 mm;
- Working volume – 333 cm3 (0.333 l);
- Maximum torque – 17.2 Nm;
- Compression ratio – 7.4;
- Cylinder diameter – 79 mm; piston stroke – 68 mm.
The K-45R carburetor is a float-type carburetor with a horizontal diffuser. Ignition system - “MB-23U”, contactless magneto. The engine is started by a manual starter with a self-retracting cord. The power of the built-in electric generator for UMZ-341, at a rotation speed of 3600 rpm, is at least 25 watts. The engine weight is 35 kilograms.
The fuel tank capacity of the Agros walk-behind tractor is 6 liters per hour. In this case, the nominal fuel consumption is 390 g/kW per hour (287 g/hp per hour). On average, this equipment consumes about 2 liters of fuel per hour of operation. Two types of oil are required - motor (1.2 liters in the engine crankcase) and transmission (2.5 liters).
Initially, the engine of the Agros walk-behind tractor was intended to work with low-octane gasoline - A-76 and A-80. But to convert the engine to AI-92 gasoline, the manufacturer recommends replacing the A11-3 spark plug with an A17B spark plug, and adjusting the ignition timing, shifting it by two degrees, counterclockwise.
Transmission
The Agros walk-behind tractor has a strong and reliable transmission, which includes a gear reducer, a dry cone clutch and, as already noted, a differential with forced locking, which provides improved maneuverability. The walk-behind tractor is equipped with four gears with reverse. (Total – four forward and two back). When reverse gear is engaged, only second and fourth gears are available, operating in a “lower” version - when their rotation speed is approximately halved.
The gearbox, final drive and differential are housed within one housing. In addition to these elements, it also houses the power take-off shaft and the entire gear shift mechanism. The use of the differential ensures rotation of the drive wheels at various angular speeds, and this plays a beneficial role when turning the walk-behind tractor, or while moving the Agros on uneven surfaces.
Technical features of transmission components:
- Clutch – friction, conical “dry” type, permanently closed, with manual control;
- The main gear is a pair of bevel gears with circular teeth;
- Differential - gear, bevel, with two satellites with forced locking;
- The final drives are single-stage, with spur gears.

Product replacement
Changing this device is the most expensive process by financial standards. Although it is not necessary to change all components, experts recommend doing this at the same time. Let's look at how the procedure is performed:
- First of all, parts are purchased.
- Next, you need to completely dismantle the old product.
- All clamps are completely removed and the tension cable is removed.
- After this, you need to clean the landing site.
- Next, the new parts are assembled into a single mechanism.
- The device is mounted on the seat.
- The tensioner is connected to the release bearing through a spring.
- The entire structure is fixed using fasteners.
At first glance, there is nothing complicated about this, but the process is complicated by the fact that it is necessary to remove the clamps, which also partially hold the transmission.

Disassembly and assembly
In order to disassemble and subsequently reassemble the transmission, it is recommended to adhere to the following series of tips:
- The mechanism is first disconnected, and in addition all the oil is drained from the device;
- the next step is to unscrew the oil filter, and also completely dismantle the clutch and gearbox;
- Next, the protective box is removed and the transmission unit is subsequently disassembled with the removal of gears and shafts;
- then the device is thoroughly washed using a special composition;
- subsequently, after drying, a full assembly is carried out, and in addition, damaged elements are replaced if necessary;
- At the final stage, the device is mounted in place, after which fresh oil is poured.
At the very end, the oil filter is installed, and it must be tightened accordingly, but before that, install the gasket so that subsequently the lubricant does not leak out of the transmission device.
What if the gearbox chain fails?
Such a breakdown will be indicated by stopping the rotation of the power take-off shaft of the walk-behind tractor, and the gearbox itself will simply jam. It is possible that the chain itself has burst, then it just needs to be replaced and the PTO will resume its operation. Also, very often owners of walk-behind tractors have problems with adjusting attachments. For example, adjusting a plow on a walk-behind tractor involves the following actions:
- We secure the hitch with 1 kingpin, where the play in the horizontal position should correspond to 5° - 6°.
- We adjust the plowing depth. The norm would be somewhere deep into the ground by 5 - 7 cm.
- Adjusting the angle of attack. Place the walk-behind tractor with the plow on a flat surface. We unscrew the adjusting screw so that the plow touches the ground. And unscrew the screw back until the back of the canopy rises 2.5 cm from the ground.
These are the main points of plow adjustment that need to be made when installing it. Of course, this kind of breakdown of the Agro walk-behind tractor, such as turning on the power take-off shaft or adjusting the clutch, can be eliminated with your own hands without much difficulty. Also, if the Agro walk-behind tractor malfunctions, you should contact its instruction manual, where all problems with such equipment should be described in more detail. If you still understand, for example, that you need to disassemble the imported engine of your unit, that you are not sure that you will do it correctly, then it is still better to turn to specialists. Still, service centers can do detailed diagnostics and determine where the problem is with 100% accuracy. So, when in doubt, it is better to turn to professionals.

Guidelines for converting the UMZ-341 engine and its modifications to AI-92 / AI-80 gasoline download
The universal heavy-class walk-behind tractor "Agro" produced by the Ufa Engine Production Association is a professional type of walk-behind tractor. The weight of 160 kg and the eight-horsepower engine and gear reduction speak for themselves.
The walk-behind tractor is made according to the classic single-axle design with a power take-off shaft. The domestic engine UMZ-341 is gasoline, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, with a power of 5.9 kW (8 hp) at 3600 rpm.
The engine lubrication system is such that the oil does not spray out, but, after being filtered in a replaceable automotive-type filter, is supplied under pressure to the rubbing parts by an oil pump. Two types of oil are required - motor (1.2 liters in the engine crankcase) and transmission (2.5 liters). Initially, the engine was designed for 76 gasoline, but there are guidelines from the manufacturer on how to convert the engine to 92 gasoline.
Detailed technical characteristics of the UMZ-341 engine
The transmission includes a dry bevel clutch, a gear reduction and a positive locking differential, which provides this heavy machine with excellent maneuverability. The gearbox, final drive and differential are housed in one housing. In addition, a PTO and gear shift mechanism are also mounted in it.
Engaging the differential ensures rotation of the drive wheels at different angular speeds, which is necessary when turning the walk-behind tractor and when driving on uneven roads.
The gearbox is four-speed, with reverse. It withstands heavy duty and shock loads well and has a power take-off shaft. True, when reverse gear is engaged, only second and fourth gears are available, but they operate in a “lower” version - the rotation speed is approximately halved.
The steering column can be easily installed at various angles, both vertically and horizontally (plus or minus 30 degrees) and can even be rotated 180 degrees, which allows you to conveniently control the walk-behind tractor when moving “back to front” - for example, when mowing or clearing snow.
When cultivating, an active rotary rotary cutter (122 mm in depth and 440 mm in width) or a special mounted harrow-type ripper with four long blade teeth is used. The plow allows plowing to a depth of 200 mm. Track width - 500-700 mm. With a transport trolley, the walk-behind tractor can transport 500 kg of cargo at a maximum speed of 15 km/h.
But the dimensions of the “Agro” are not small - 1700x850x1100 mm, however, for its class - a heavy, professional walk-behind tractor - they are quite acceptable.
Attachments for the Agro walk-behind tractor.
This machine is for large farms or public utilities, capable of cultivating, plowing, cutting ridges, hilling, harrowing, transporting cargo, cutting grass, throwing snow.
This positioning is also facilitated by a wide range of attachments - these are wheels with pneumatic tires (supplied as a set, which is natural for such a heavy machine), as well as a rotary tiller, a front mower (two modifications - KN-1, KN-1.5), plows - dumps (of various sizes), NPD digger, double-row plow-hiller STV, harrow, harrow-cultivator, several types of lugs, transport cart PTM-500 and snow thrower, which can be purchased additionally. In addition, there is a universal hitch on sale - it allows you to use attachments from other manufacturers on the Agro.
Ufa, September 19, 2013
A cooperation agreement signed between the Ufa Engine Production Association, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Bashkortostan and.
Motoblocks "Agro" have been produced at OJSC "Ufa Engine Production Association" since the late 90s. However, due to the increase in the volume of work of UMPO in the main - aviation - direction, the production of walk-behind tractors is planned to be transferred to another enterprise in Bashkortostan - Ufa-Mechanika LLC. “The transfer of the production of consumer goods (consumer goods), which includes the Agro walk-behind tractor, to production is due to the need to streamline the enterprise’s product line by excluding non-core products.
Since the heavy Agro walk-behind tractor is in great demand on the Russian market, a decision was made not to stop production, but to transfer it to partners in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.”

Setting up components and mechanisms
How to determine for an Agro walk-behind tractor that the diesel engine does not start due to malfunctions of components and mechanisms. Everything is very simple, if after the following series of operations the engine fails when starting, then the problem is in the mechanisms:
- prepare fuel;
- feed it into the cylinder;
- turn on the ignition;
- we release all exhaust gases.
To determine the cause of failure in the nodes, you must first conduct a detailed diagnosis. The diagnostics performed will be able to identify the true cause of the malfunction, and this could be:
- the fuel supply path may be clogged;
- carburetor is broken;
- the air filter may not let air in;
- The hole in the gas tank cap is clogged.
It is also important to pay attention to the spark plug; if it is dry, it means that fuel is not entering the combustion chamber. What we do in this case:
- Completely drain the gasoline.
- Clean and rinse the tank.
- Clean the filter.
- Blow out the fuel supply hose.
- We blow out the jets in the carburetor.
- We fill the tank.
- Open the faucet.
- We are cleaning the respiratory canal.
Adjusting the fuel system of a walk-behind tractor
If fuel is not supplied to the cylinder, then, first of all, you need to check whether there is enough fuel in the tank. You also need to check whether it is supplied to the carburetor. To do this, remove the hose from the inlet fitting of the device. If we are talking about a K45 type carburetor, you should press on its quencher so that fuel begins to pour out through the drainage hole.
If fuel does not enter the carburetor, then you need to turn off the fuel supply valve, completely disassemble it and remove accumulations of dirt from the mechanical cleaning filter. To achieve maximum purity, all components must be treated with gasoline. The fuel valve is reassembled and returned to its original location.
If fuel enters the carburetor, but is not supplied to the cylinders, it is necessary to check the correct operation of the fuel valve, as well as the presence of dirt on the jets.
To deal with the carburetor of a gasoline walk-behind tractor of the KMB-5 type, you need to remove it from the engine and empty the fuel from the float chamber. Through the fitting (see figure), through which gasoline is supplied, it is necessary to supply the air mixture, having previously installed the carburetor in the working position. The passage of air should proceed unhindered, and when the carburetor is turned over, it should stop completely. These features indicate the full functionality of the part.
Rice. 2. Carburetor KMB-5
Details in the figure: 1 – fuel supply fitting; 2 – upper body; 3 – throttle valve; 4 – idle needle; 5 – jet; 6 – lower body; 7 – air damper; 8 – screw fixing the tie; 9 – maximum throttle needle; 10 – spray element; 11 – float; 12 – fuel supply valve.
The fuel level inside the float chamber can be adjusted using the float tongue. Ideally, it should vary from 3 to 3.5 centimeters.
To purge the jets, you need to unscrew the screws responsible for full and low throttle. Cleaning the carburetor parts begins by unscrewing the screws holding the upper housing. The lower housing is removed, the fuel supply valve is washed with gasoline, and dirt is blown out of the nozzles with a pump. It is necessary to check whether the float is intact. It is strictly forbidden to use rags during the cleaning process.
After cleaning is completed, the housings are connected. It is necessary to ensure that the spray tube fits clearly into the hole located on the upper body. Open the throttle valve and check how well the assembly is completed. The screws securing the upper housing are tightened tightly. After the assembly process is completely completed, the carburetor should be adjusted. This will significantly improve the performance of the walk-behind tractor with attachments, since correct operation requires ideal adjustment of all its parts.
If a DM 1.08.100 carburetor is installed on the walk-behind tractor engine, then the method for adjusting it will be as follows:
- You should tighten the low throttle screw 10 (Fig. 3) all the way and turn it away from you half a turn.
- Then you need to tighten the full throttle screw 9 and unscrew it completely by 2 turns.
- Unscrew screw 4 (Fig. 4) for minimum engine speed right up to the lever stop in the boss of the carburetor body and tighten it 2 turns.
- Start the walk-behind tractor engine, then adjust stable operation at maximum speed after warming up with screw 9.
Do not allow the engine control lever to be turned off, move it to the minimum throttle (speed) position and, by unscrewing screw 10, set a stable idle speed.

The structure of the walk-behind tractor and the engine
The walk-behind tractor consists of a single-axle chassis with two wheels. It is equipped with a 4-stroke Lifan or UMZ-341 engine, a power transmission and a transfer rod for control. A control mechanism is connected to the engine.
Directly behind the engine are installed: transmission, clutch, gearbox, differential locking and power take-off shaft.
How to replace the engine on Lifan:
The wheels are connected to the final drive shaft. They are equipped with pneumatic tires with a pressure of 0.8-0.12 kgf/cm2.
To aggregate the hitch, a bracket with a width of 72 mm with special holes for the clamp and the pivot is used.
The steering rod is attached to the transmission where the main control levers are located.
It is important to study the operating instructions for the Agro walk-behind tractor in order to know the diagram, details and be able to carry out repairs yourself.
Carburetor
The carburetor is responsible for preparing the fuel mixture. And if his work is incorrect, the result is immediately visible. It is recommended to adjust the carburetor before starting agricultural work.
To adjust the carburetor, follow these steps:
- Unscrew the screws that regulate the minimum and maximum throttle as much as possible, and then screw it back about two turns;
- The engine is allowed to warm up for 10 minutes;
- It is necessary to set the lever that controls the operation of the motor to the minimum position. The engine operation should not stop;
- Set the minimum idle speed using the throttle valve. The engine should run smoothly, without any extraneous noise or wheezing.
- We adjust the position of the screws to create an accurate fuel mixture (when tightened, a large amount of gasoline flows in; when loosened, it decreases)
Carburetor K45P for engine UMZ-341 (Agro)
Basically, carburetor malfunctions can be resolved by adjusting it. If this does not help, then you need to remove it from the engine. Then carefully disassemble and wipe with a soft cloth moistened with gasoline to remove carbon deposits. Afterwards, you should dry the K45R carburetor for the Agro walk-behind tractor and only then reassemble it in the reverse order.
If during disassembly you notice a chip on the carburetor, then you cannot repair it. It is recommended to replace the device with a new one.
Reducer and gearbox
Here are the main malfunctions that arise from the gearbox and gearbox:
Oil leaks
This behavior is typical when the seals on the bearings are worn or incorrectly installed, the gaskets under them are damaged, the cover is not tightened, the air valve is clogged, or there is an excess amount of lubricant in the tanks.
Depending on the reason, certain actions must be taken:
- Adjust or replace oil seals;
- Replace gaskets;
- Tighten connections;
- Clean the breather;
- Drain off excess oil.
Difficulty shifting gearbox
This behavior of the Agro walk-behind tractor manifests itself in many owners of this equipment. Here are the main reasons and ways to repair them:
- Due to wear and tear of parts that take part in gear shifting. Most often, the ends of the gears wear out. The consequence of this is involuntary gear shifting or difficulty in locking. In case of such a breakdown, you should disassemble the gearbox and grind the ends of the teeth. In situations where this is not possible, a complete replacement of the gears will be required.
- Shaft splines are worn or misaligned. This failure occurs due to wear of the friction bearings or retaining rings. In order to adjust the correct position of the Agro walk-behind tractor shaft, additional locking rings should be used. If the bearings are worn out, they should be replaced with new ones.
- Incorrect clutch adjustment can result in difficulty shifting gears. That is, you cannot lock the clutch lever in its final position. Most often, this happens when the owner is inexperienced and releases the lever too early during a shift. The solution is to adjust the clutch and change the position of the lever correctly.
The gearbox is a complex junction. If you do not understand the principle of the gearbox, then you should not repair the Agro walk-behind tractor yourself. In this case, it is better to contact specialists.
Clutch and transmission
A transmission is a system that serves to transmit torque from the engine to the shaft.
In an Agro walk-behind tractor, the transmission consists of the following parts: clutch, gearbox, final drive and differential.
Clutch design
The most common repair of the Agro walk-behind tractor transmission involves adjusting the clutch.
In cases where the clutch “drives”, that is, when the lever is pressed all the way, the device tries to move forward, then the adjusting screw should be unscrewed.
If the clutch slips (when the lever is released, the Agro walk-behind tractor remains in place or produces a low number of revolutions), then the adjustment screw must be tightened completely.
After completing the adjustment work, the screw should be locked to maintain its position.
However, often the adjustment does not help and you have to disassemble the clutch for repairs.
Disassembling the clutch occurs in the following sequence:
- Drain the used oil from the housing. Then disconnect the engine and the flange from the transmission;
- Using a wire hook, disconnect the spring from the pressure plate, then remove it;
- Remove the clutch fungus and all discs;
- Using a screwdriver, remove the lock washer;
- Fix the position of the drum so that it does not rotate, and unscrew the nut from the drum. An important factor is that the threads in this device are left-handed. Take this into account when disassembling;
- Disconnect the drum.
Reassembly should be done in reverse order.
This video demonstrates how to remove the clutch from the crankshaft:
Belts
The Agro walk-behind tractor comes with a belt device as standard. That is, the transmission of torque occurs in this way.
If the belt is too tight, it will break during operation. If it is weakened, the engine will not produce the required speed, but it will not reach the PTO. Therefore, you should periodically inspect and check its tension.
Chain transmission
Recently, belts have not been very popular because they are not very reliable in operation and often break under increased loads. The Agro walk-behind tractor itself weighs 160 kg, and if you add attachments to this weight, and also the resistance of the earth when working with a plow. This turns out to be a very large load.
Therefore, some owners replace standard belts with a chain. However, this also entails replacing the tension rollers. After all, standard couplings are not designed to rotate chains. Therefore, special sprockets are installed in their place. The result is much stronger and more reliable than a belt.
Ignition, spark plugs and starter
The ignition system is designed to supply a spark to the engine and activate it and turn it off when work is completed.
And here’s how to install electric ignition on an Agro walk-behind tractor:
In the basic configuration, the Agro walk-behind tractor has a manual starter, which is driven by a cable. However, when operating in winter, problems arise with starting the engine. Therefore, owners replace the conventional starter with an electric one.
It is considered more reliable. In this case, it will be necessary to consider additional space on the Agro walk-behind tractor for the battery, since the electric starter is powered by it.
Most often, the problem with starting the engine lies in the spark plugs. They are designed to provide a spark. The spark plugs must be securely fastened in the grooves, have an appropriate gap (0.6-0.7 mm) and the power caps must be firmly connected to them. It is not allowed to work with candles that have a large amount of soot on them, since there is no spark. They must be periodically cleaned or replaced with new ones.
Transmission malfunctions and ways to eliminate them
Every modern mechanized device has a transmission, and if there are certain malfunctions, it is not at all necessary to immediately buy a new element and change the transmission. In practice, there are a lot of mechanism malfunctions that can be eliminated without replacement. Let's take a closer look at the most common types of breakdowns:
- A hum when operating at high speeds or a metallic rustle (here you need to immediately change the oil for the Agro walk-behind tractor in the gearbox).
- Intermittent movement and kicks when shifting gears (it is necessary to replace the oil filter and add fresh oil).
- A strong metallic crack and a subsequent jolt with the cessation of independent movement (the clutch fork is being changed).
- Gears do not shift (there is a malfunction in the clutch, which requires its overhaul or full replacement).
- A strong metallic crunch while moving (lack of oil in the box, and in addition the need to completely overhaul the unit and change the lubricant).
In practice, there are still a lot of faults that you can fix yourself, but correcting them requires a lot of physical effort, as well as the necessary knowledge and skills, which is why it would be better to take the device to a service center, where specialists will carry out full diagnostics and repairs.
In this video you will learn how to change the oil:
Technical characteristics and equipment of the Agro walk-behind tractor
The walk-behind tractor from the Agro brand is equipped with a UMZ-341 motor. The advantages of this engine include high endurance, the ability to operate smoothly in the most difficult conditions, a long service life and an impressive power reserve.
The model produced by Agro has quite large dimensions. The length of the walk-behind tractor is 180, the width is 85, and the height is 110 cm.
