Owner reviews
Real consumer reviews will help you objectively judge the performance of the Neva walk-behind tractor, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. Here are some excerpts from them:
Sergey
Last year I bought a Neva MB 2S-7.0 motorized cultivator for my 20-acre garden. The second season is working properly, there have been no breakdowns yet. I’m very pleased with its “efficiency” and efficiency.”
Vitaly
I have long wanted to get myself an assistant to cultivate my country land. I finally bought an MB 23 with a Japanese Subaru engine. It turned out to be a powerful unit! Like a tractor, it plows even 10 acres of virgin land without any problems! I bought a trailer for it, so now it can carry anything: bags of potatoes, hay, garbage and even firewood. During the year of work, I only had to change the belt - there have been no other problems so far.”
Irina
I have a plot of 15 acres on the field. I treat it with a Neva-MB2 motor cultivator. Cool device! It perfectly harrows and loosens the soil, helps hill up beds and destroy weeds. True, it’s a little heavy for me (it weighs 95.5 kg), but with its help I can quickly complete all the necessary work on my legal acres.”
Igor
I have been using the Neva MB-2N walk-behind tractor for 2 years now. The engine on it is Honda, 6.5 horsepower. Practical and durable equipment, there are no complaints about it. While I only used a plow and a cutter, everything worked out well. This spring I purchased several more types of attachments. I’ll try it and write!”
Attachments
All necessary fastenings or spare parts, as well as mounted and trailed equipment, are purchased separately.
The basic package of the MK-200 (depending on the modification) includes: 4 or 6 cutters, hubs and a set of fasteners; additional set of bolts for fastening the front support wheel bracket.
Range
The Neva MK-200 motor cultivator can work in conjunction with the following types of attachments and trailed equipment:
- rotary brush;
- snow blower;
- potato planter;
- cart;
- blade shovel;
- rotary mower;
- water pump;
- potato digger;
- transport wheels (sold complete with fasteners and hubs), etc.
The cultivator is coupled to the trolley using an adapter.
Important! The adapter is not included in the basic package of the Neva MK-200; it can be purchased separately at any large agricultural equipment store or online.
According to the operating instructions for the Plow attachment, the part is attached to the motor cultivator using a coupling device. The plow bracket is installed on the attachment point of the walk-behind tractor and secured with two king pins. The degree of forward tilt of the plow is adjusted by rotating and tightening the bolts.
snow blower
A snow thrower or snow blower is a useful, but not cheap, type of attachment for a motor cultivator. To operate the MK200 cultivator with a snow blower, a double-groove pulley is required. It is recommended to use the snow blower in combination with an adapter.
To save money, some farmers use rotary brushes to clear snow (they do not move the snow, but scatter it to the sides, leaving only one strip cleared).
Assembling cutters
The diagrams below will help you understand how the cutters are assembled on the Neva MK-200 cultivator.
Important! Replacing cutters with grousers must be done using the cultivator's parking position.
This option allows the operator to comply with safety precautions. Replacement is carried out manually, carefully, with all bolted connections secured with an adjustable wrench.

Advantages and disadvantages inherent in the entire model range
Neva walk-behind tractors have gained popularity and good reviews due to their high-quality technical characteristics.
Along with simplicity of design and versatility, the entire model range also has a number of other advantages, namely:
- Great functionality and the ability to work with a variety of mounted and trailed implements;
- high productivity, which allows high-quality implementation of complex tillage operations;
- sufficient traction and power, which ensures increased service life;
- excellent maneuverability due to the ability to disconnect one of the drive shafts;
- good controllability created by an adjustable steering wheel.
Neva walk-behind tractors are quite economical devices that can flawlessly perform a whole range of agricultural tasks at low cost. Their main advantage, judging by consumer reviews, is still the low cost of the agricultural machine itself and removable working tools. You can purchase such an effective, useful and reliable “assistant” for an average of $700. On the domestic market, this is the cheapest type of motorcycle equipment, the quality of which is at the European level.
Neva walk-behind tractors also have their drawbacks. In customer reviews, the most common negative characteristics are:
- insufficient depth of tillage due to the lightness of the structure. An additional weight weighing 22-25 kg, hung on the front pin of the motor unit, helps to solve this problem. The design with such a weight allows plowing to a depth of up to 25 cm;
- The dimensions of the device are quite large. Although Neva walk-behind tractors are considered compact equipment, there are models with the same technical parameters and power, but smaller geometric dimensions (for example, the Salyut brand);
- poor stability of the agricultural implement when working on uneven ground. Gardeners and summer residents solve this problem by replacing factory wheels with higher ones.
In some reviews, consumers focus their dissatisfaction on the cost of motorcycles. The high price can be explained by the fact that the sale of these technical products is carried out not only by manufacturers and their official dealers, but also by a large number of intermediary sellers who make considerable markups, which inflate the price of the equipment.
Operating rules
- Manufacturer's fuel recommendation for the Neva MK-200 cultivator: high quality gasoline AI92, 95;
- Type of transmission oil poured into the gearbox: SAE85W-90 API GL-5 or TM-5 oil GOST 17479.2-85);
- Engine oil type (for all modifications): motor oil for a 4-stroke engine or any highly purified oil that meets US automotive industry standards according to SG, SF classifications. SAE 10W-30 grade oil is recommended.
Starting the engine of the Neva MK-200 cultivator is carried out subject to the following rules:
- the equipment is placed on a flat surface;
- Fuel and oil levels are normal;
- all fastenings have been checked, the cultivator is ready for work;
- then turn the throttle, the engine must be started at ½ of the maximum speed;
- transition to the required gear;
- By pressing the clutch, you can perform a standing start.
To stop, you need to release the clutch, reduce engine speed, move the gear lever to neutral, and then move the throttle to the “O” position and close the fuel valve.
The Neva MK-200 motor-cultivator also has a gear-chain reducer. The gear housing is made of aluminum.
Engine oil change frequency
In order for Neva cultivators to work for a long time without breakdowns, you need to change the oil in the engine on time. Let's look at the frequency of the process for different motors:
- If your vehicle has a Robin Subaru, then the first oil change is performed after a maximum of twenty hours of engine operation. All subsequent replacements occur after 100 working hours. It is important to always check the level before starting work. If it is below normal, then the oil needs to be added.
- For Honda and Lifan engines, the first oil change occurs similarly after twenty hours of operation. Subsequent replacements are performed every six months. In these engines, you also need to constantly check the oil level before each start.
- The Briggs & Stratton engine is more capricious. Here the first oil change is performed after five hours of operation. The frequency of further replacements is 50 hours. If the equipment is used only in the summer, then the oil is changed before the start of each season. The level is checked before each engine start and additionally after eight working hours.
It is better not to skimp on changing the oil. Don't wait until the deadline. If you change the oil 1-2 weeks earlier, this will only benefit the engine.
Owner reviews
Mikhail, Rostov-on-Don:
“Before buying a motor cultivator, I went through many options: I needed the equipment for the simplest work on the site: plowing the ground, removing debris, snow, leaves from the site, loosening the soil. Reviews from friends and advice from the store salesperson, of course, played a role, and I took the Neva MK 200. I am very pleased with my choice! I'm especially pleased that the engine is American and not Chinese. The cultivator works perfectly, copes with its functions, in fact it is the same walk-behind tractor, only for small areas. I recommend to all!"
Alexander, Tula:
“I purchased a Neva MK 200, I was attracted by the price and the capabilities that the manufacturer talks about. I took a risk and decided to check if the good reviews about this model were true. It turned out, yes, everything was true: he cultivated five acres of vegetable garden, then cut furrows using a hiller. I bought the lugs and hiller directly for the cultivator, making myself a “gift”. It seemed to me that it would be nice to add some more weight to the cultivator, so I attached a weighting agent. Honda motor, no complaints, I’m very pleased with my purchase.”
Veniamin, Krasnodar
“This is not the first equipment that the farm has. There is a walk-behind tractor and a tractor (all of different shapes), and I took this cultivator for the dacha. I would like to note that despite its size, the Neva MK 200 copes well with tasks on the ground. I did plowing, weeding, and last winter, using a blade, I removed snow from the dacha plot and from the dacha yard. Subaru engine, no breakdowns. Subjective opinion: not a minus, but a nuance - the wheels are too small, it weighs a little in soft and damp soil, I installed different wheels, larger ones. I liked the front transport wheel, it springs well and can be in three positions. In general, my review is definitely positive, I recommend purchasing this unit.”
The Neva MK-200 walk-behind tractor is the result of fruitful engineering developments. It belongs to the small-sized class and is widely used in the agricultural industry. The model is perfect for all types of work related to soil cultivation in a variety of ways. Neva MK 200 will be a good choice for those who need maximum performance for reasonable money. It is obvious that this machine has many more advantages than disadvantages. This confirms the huge demand for this model. The technology is especially popular in the post-Soviet space, in particular on the Russian market.

The simple design allows owners to do their own repairs and not have to resort to the help of service center specialists.
General information, purpose and design features
Neva MK 200 is designed for work in a garden plot, on a farm, and is suitable for some other agricultural operations. In addition, the machine has proven itself well in the public utilities sector. The equipment’s performance is designed for the following types of work: hilling, cultivating, planting and digging up root crops, mowing grass and shrubs, transporting cargo, working with cultivation cutters, working at great depths, pumping water and other procedures. The MK 200 model is usually classified as a middle-class cultivator. The car is produced at a plant located in St. Petersburg. This plant has been successfully operating since 1984. It was then that the first Neva walk-behind tractor appeared.
Neva MK 200 boasts an optimal set of advantages necessary for efficient and reliable use in any weather, as well as in off-road conditions. In particular, let us note that the cultivator has a high-performance gearbox housed in an aluminum housing. The machine is also equipped with technical solutions that make the equipment more functional and ergonomic. The cultivator uses a three-speed manual transmission, with two forward and one reverse speeds. All control elements, including gearbox, gas, brake, reverse, etc., are placed on a conveniently shaped handle. In addition, the latter can be adjusted to suit you in order to reduce fatigue during long and hard work.
Among other design features, we note the function of forced shutdown of one of the valves. Due to this, the cultivator is able to rotate 360 degrees even with six cutters. In general, the maneuverability of the cultivator is at the highest level. The front wheel allows you to quickly move equipment around the infield.
The cultivator in question, with some options, can be turned into a walk-behind tractor. To do this, you need to have a special pulley, an additional power take-off roller, as well as a front pin for attaching the front wheel and various attachments. Together with these devices, the Neva MK-200 cultivator receives support for all mounted options available for the Neva MB-2 walk-behind tractor.
Cultivator Neva - gardener's assistant
Since 2002, a well-known aircraft manufacturer in St. Petersburg has organized a new production of household appliances, JSC Krasny Oktyabr-Neva. Neva walk-behind tractors and cultivators produced by the plant have an impeccable reputation as inexpensive and reliable equipment. Neva motor tools are sold throughout the country and abroad, serviced by 160 service centers established by the plant.
Manufacturer's recommendations
According to official data, the MK 200 model supports low-octane fuel, namely AI-92. You can also select the appropriate motor oils. In particular, it is recommended to use SAE 10W-30 grade oil, which is especially suitable for large temperature differences. As an alternative, it is worth taking a closer look at oil with a suitable viscosity coefficient (Single Viscosity), which should correspond to the ambient temperature at which the cultivator will be constantly used.
In addition to the correct approach to choosing consumables, the manufacturer recommends running in the walk-behind tractor before using it for the first time. This procedure is carried out during the first 20 hours of operation of the machine, and it must be subjected to a gentle load not exceeding 50% of the maximum value. For example, the engine should run at idle speed, which can be gradually increased to just above average, and when transporting goods, the trailer load should be about 50%. During running-in, the condition of all node connections is checked - both internal and external. In addition, it is worth paying attention to the gear shift mechanism, as well as checking the oil and fuel levels in the engine. After running in, it is advisable to conduct a full technical inspection of the device, and the next day you can begin full operation with 100 percent load.
How to maintain and clean the walk-behind tractor filter
Maintenance of motor cultivator engine air filters should be performed in accordance with the maintenance intervals specified by the manufacturer or as necessary if the equipment is operated in dusty conditions.
It is recommended to monitor the condition of the air filter every 5-8 hours of operation of the cultivator. After 20-30 hours of operation, the air filter must be cleaned (if damaged, replaced).
- Is it necessary to add oil to the air filter of a walk-behind tractor? In most cases, simply lightly saturating the sponge element with engine oil is sufficient.
However, the air filters of some models of motor cultivators are located in an oil bath; in this case, it is necessary to fill the oil to the level indicated on the oil bath.
- What kind of oil should I put in the air filter of a walk-behind tractor? For these purposes, it is recommended to use the same engine oil that is poured into the engine crankcase.
According to the generally accepted standard, motor oil for 4-stroke engines is used in the motor cultivator engine, as well as in the air filter.
Depending on the time of year and ambient temperature, it is possible to fill the engine with seasonal oils of 5W-30, 10W-30, 15W-40 brands or all-season motor oils with a wider temperature range.
Let's consider the sequence of work on servicing (cleaning) the engine air filter of the most popular walk-behind tractor of the MB-1 line in Russia and the former CIS countries:
- Remove the air filter protective cover by unscrewing the wing nut;
- Remove the porous air filter element from the main paper element (it is made of foam rubber);
- Wash the pre-cleaning foam element in gasoline or kerosene. If it is not very dirty, it is enough to wash the air filter of the walk-behind tractor with a regular detergent. After this, the foam must be carefully squeezed out and dried;
- Saturate the porous element with motor oil, lightly squeeze out excess oil between two palms. Under no circumstances should you twist the foam rubber - such actions can damage the filter element;
- Remove the dry element of the engine air filter;
- Wash the dry element first in soapy water and then in regular warm water. Paper filters can also be cleaned well with a vacuum cleaner and light tapping on a hard surface;
- Air dry the dry filter thoroughly. There is no need to saturate it with anything;
- Use a clean cotton rag to remove all dirt from the filter housing;
- Reassemble the air filter in reverse order and replace the protective cover.
- How do you know if your air filter needs replacing? This will become clear either by its appearance or by the behavior of the engine.
If the filter element has changed in size (frequent washing in gasoline causes the sponge to swell over time) or it has become damaged, the filter must be replaced.
VIDEO INSTRUCTION
Why does the air filter in a walk-behind tractor spray gasoline?
Very often, owners of motor cultivators with a 4-stroke engine encounter this problem - gasoline gets into the air filter and the engine does not start. There may be several reasons for this unexpected phenomenon.
The simplest is a clogged filter (due to dirt, it loses its capacity and causes the mixture to become lean). To determine this, you need to remove the air filter and try to start the engine without it.
Often the filter of a walk-behind tractor is filled with gasoline due to a malfunction of the needle shut-off valve in the carburetor.
In this case, the level has increased and fuel enters the filter through the air channels of the idle system. The problem can be resolved by repairing/replacing the needle valve.
Remember that only with careful handling of equipment can you make it work highly productive and economical!

Plows for NEVA walk-behind tractors and MK200 walk-behind cultivator
The PN mounted plow ensures full rotation of the formation when plowing any type of soil. Intuitive adjustments allow you to quickly set up the plow. The plowing depth of the plow reaches 220 mm. The working width is 180 mm. To install the PN plow, a coupling device (005.09.1600) is required.
The single-furrow plow N is designed for plowing cultivated and light soil. Installation on NEVA walk-behind tractors and MK200 motor-cultivator is carried out using a universal hitch N (01.06.50.00.00). During plowing, the plow covers an area 220 mm wide. When configured correctly, the unit is buried to a depth of 200 mm.
Hillers for NEVA walk-behind tractors and MK200 walk-behind cultivator
The mounted double-body hiller OND is designed for cutting furrows for planting root crops, as well as hilling potatoes at different stages of maturity. Suitable for use on all types of soil. Adjustable wings provide a wide range of furrow width adjustments. The shallow toe reduces soil resistance during tillage. For installation on a walk-behind tractor (motor-cultivator), a coupling device (005.09.1600) is required.
The STV two-row hiller is used for cutting furrows and loosening the soil in row-spacings while simultaneously rolling it from the row-spacings to the lower parts of plants. The product provides the ability to adjust the distance between the hillers in accordance with the width of the furrow, as well as select the angle of the wings to obtain the optimal furrow profile. The hiller is installed on the equipment using a universal hitch N (01.06.50.00.00).
The single-row hiller STV NPD is designed for processing one field row. The advantage of this product is its ease of operation. Unlike a two-row hiller, there is no need to simultaneously control the movement of the second hiller, so the likelihood of making an incorrect movement is reduced. And thus, the likelihood of damage to the sown crops is reduced. The hiller is installed on the equipment using a universal hitch N (01.06.50.00.00).
The single-row disc hiller, unlike the standard model, processes the soil using two discs. The tilt of the disks is adjusted using a special sector located on the shaft of the product. The presence of a wide range of settings makes it easy to adjust the operation of the hiller for beds of a specific size. To install the disc hiller on NEVA walk-behind tractors, you will need a universal hitch N (01.06.50.00.00).
Weeding rippers loosen the soil using spikes. As a result, the soil is adequately saturated with oxygen and becomes airy, which creates good conditions for obtaining a rich harvest. In addition, weed weeds are useful in eliminating small weeds. To connect you will need a bracket (00.05.10.00.00) and a universal hitch H (01.06.50.00.00).
Potato diggers for NEVA walk-behind tractors and MK200 walk-behind cultivator
The KNM mounted potato digger is designed to speed up the harvesting of potatoes and other root crops (beets, turnips). Suitable for use on any type of soil. The directional system of steel rods allows you to evenly sift the soil, easily separating the tubers from the ground. The wide, flat tip gently lifts root vegetables to the surface without damaging the crop. For aggregation with motor vehicles, a hitch is not required.
Digger N is used to extract tubers from the soil. The tip of the product easily penetrates the soil, lifting layers of soil and bringing fruit to the surface. After sifting out the soil, the root crops are laid out on the surface for subsequent manual collection. To connect to a walk-behind tractor, the excavator can be installed in the rear hitch of the equipment instead of the coulter.
Why do you need an air filter in a walk-behind tractor?
The motor cultivator engine air filter cleans the air that enters the carburetor. When the filter element is filled with dust and dirt, its throughput is lost, which causes the mixture to become leaner. Because of this, engine operation is disrupted.
Note! A dirty air filter not only makes it difficult to start the engine, but also leads to a loss of power of the cultivator and increases gasoline consumption.
If the filter is damaged or missing, the unit may break down.
On the engines of most walk-behind tractors of domestic and foreign production, an air filter made of polyurethane foam (foam rubber) is installed. Such filter elements reliably protect the carburetor and engine from dust and sand particles.
In the case of motorized cultivators, this is especially important, since cutters and plows lift a large amount of earth and sand into the air during operation.
Filters made from ordinary foam rubber are easily washed with gasoline, they are quite durable, and they are relatively inexpensive (about 200-300 rubles).
Regardless of the manufacturer and brand of the walk-behind tractor, timely maintenance of the engine air filter extends the service life of the equipment.
Plowing wheels for walk-behind tractors and cultivators "NEVA"
Plowing wheels KP-430x200 increase the traction force of the equipment, thereby improving the permeability of the plow through the thickness of the earth. The design of the lugs allows for good longitudinal and lateral traction of the wheels with the soil and prevents soil from sticking to the wheels when driving. The wheel diameter is 430 mm, width - 200 mm. A modification of the KP-430x200 wheels with a long hub is also available.
MINI N lug lugs are designed for installation on NEVA motor cultivators. As a result of installing wheels, the traction of the equipment with the ground increases, which in turn contributes to better penetration of the plow and easier movement in the soil. Wheel diameter is 280 mm, width - 90 mm
