Features of Forte walk-behind tractors
The Forte company has been creating this type of equipment for more than 27 years, so it tries to equip its “brainchildren” with innovative parts and options that differ from competitors’ products. First of all, attention should be paid to the design features, because the frame is made of very high-quality metal tubes, the thickness of which is at least 2.5 mm. It is secured thanks to a single piece, so it will not break even under heavy loads. Often, Forte walk-behind tractors are equipped with a special handle that allows you to stop the unit in 3 seconds.
A high-quality diesel or gasoline engine will be able to cope with serious loads, allowing a person to complete the planned amount of work. Often the walls of the fuel tank are quite thick (more than 1 mm), which is a serious advantage. The engine operates relatively quietly (maximum 83 decibels), and its service life is 1000 hours. The crankshaft and camshaft are made from very strong and reliable 40 CR metal, and the housing is made from extruded aluminum. However, each model has its own specifics, which you need to get acquainted with in more detail.

The gasoline engine is also much quieter.
Volodymyr, do you know how many blanks there are on our diesel air blowers?:
In fact, the difference is quite obvious, but after all, the movements are completely different.
As far as economy goes, obviously, no one can compete with diesel because of the stench, but again, constructively work on the waste. We have been told, since we have already discussed the price more than once, that MB definitely “stimulates” its appetite, either 170 diesel or gasoline MS. What a waste of resources, then, as I said, Volodymyr, screw it. The wrappers were equal (and otherwise from such a diesel engine you won’t pump the same 6 horsepower) so the resource itself became equal, and through a high level of compression the diesel engines are sacrificed. The greater resource of the diesel engine was assumed to be ahead of its low speed (1800-2600) versus 4500-5500 for carburetors, and such performance has been completely normal recently. In terms of tension, here again the same torque is equal, but at the same time the widest 168 carb engine reaches 2500, and the 178 diesel engine has a rating of 3000 and a tension of 5.5 hp. Well, etc., as we will compare, of course, the MB-engines and not the combustion of diesel and carb. That's why we already said that + that - є i there and there. I think intensive operation (cost-effectiveness), a fairly high technical level of the operator, low operation cost, then there is nothing to be afraid of diesel. If the MB will be used by both women and children (without any problems), if you want more comfortable (quieter and vibration-free) work, like going into the field, and taking it to fishing or watering or using gasoline. In terms of tension, in terms of stench resource, they are practically equal. The difference in price must be kept in mind, except due to the greater foldability and metal content of a diesel engine, but a diesel engine is still much less wide-ranging with + and many minuses, and their Since the energy crisis has recently prompted car manufacturers to “guess” about them, And so they would remain the “kings” only in this year and in the quarries, where their minuses are not so noticeable. Alas, 60-70 years ago, diesel engines were a wonder. P.S. If you already guessed the story, then for the sake of comparison, the famous “one and a half” (from Fiat) is small Max. wrap 1400 (35k.s.)

/100km. Was admitted until 32 roku. It’s clear that with such wrappers there was gasoline.
Dear Riba4ok1, I still don’t understand which MB is better to take, which has more advantages than disadvantages. Intensive exploitation is planned, mainly in the warm season, cultivation (destruction of weeds) under trees and in the rows of a peach orchard with an area of 1.4 hectares is at a minimum.
And also, excuse me, but you have slightly incorrect information about the “Lorry”, also known as GAZ-AA and GAZ-MM, which was originally a licensed copy of the American Ford model AA truck of the 1929 model, but was subsequently modernized several times. Years of production of NAZ (GAZ)-AA/GAZ-MM: at NAZ/GAZ - 1932-1949; at the Moscow KIM plant - 1933-1939; at the Rostov Automobile Assembly Plant - 1939-1941; at UlZiS - 1942-1950. Engine: GAZ-AA - 3.28 l, 40 hp; GAZ-MM - 3.28 l, 50 hp. Fuel consumption, reference: 19.5 l/100 km. Maximum speed: 70 km/h. Thanks to the low compression ratio (4.25:1), the unpretentious GAZ-AA and GAZ-MM could be operated on the lowest grades of fuel, including naphtha and even kerosene (in the warm season and on a warm engine) and low-quality industrial lubricating oils (autoyl and nigrols). Or did you mean some other “Lortorka”? Sincerely, Vyacheslav.

User manual
Complete with the walk-behind tractor, the owner receives instructions for the engine and directly for the machine. The instructions contain information on assembly and main points of device maintenance.
First launch and run-in
The first start is carried out after assembly, with the tank and oil sump filled. Run-in is carried out over several days; usually the device is not loaded at maximum power, but is operated in a gentle mode.
Important! The running-in period is at least 20 hours.
Only when the running-in is completed can you work with the walk-behind tractor on virgin soil and transport heavy loads.
Run-in is conventionally divided into three stages:
- operation in “idle” mode;
- load at one third of power;
- operation at two-thirds engine power.
The first stage lasts on average 10 minutes in each gear, the second - 1 hour in each gear, the third - 2 hours in each gear.

Owner reviews
The forums contain many reviews from owners of various models of Forte walk-behind tractors. Basically, they note their power and functionality, with the disadvantages being the poor quality of service.
Victor:
“I use the Forte HSD1G-105 model, diesel. In terms of functional characteristics, I can’t say anything bad, but in terms of the quality of service... guys, something needs to be done about this! While the car was under warranty, I wasn't particularly worried. I used it for about six months, and at one point the walk-behind tractor simply stopped working and wouldn’t start. After repair (free of charge, because under warranty) they returned it poorly assembled! I’m not sure that I want to leave a good review about this technique; rather, my rating is still unsatisfactory. I will buy another one, I haven’t chosen a company yet.”

Detailed characteristics and prices
Review
The rating of diesel walk-behind tractors in terms of reliability, which was compiled by our specialists, has been supplemented by one of the most efficient models - Agat KhMD, which runs on diesel fuel. This is a very light option for such a unit, which, nevertheless, can easily cope with any difficulties on an area of up to 50 acres. Uniform plowing and plowing, smooth and soft movement allow even people without special physical training to work with the walk-behind tractor.
Review from a real buyer
I’m just planning to buy this walk-behind tractor for now. Reviews are very contradictory, but there are many very attractive points. And the price is quite reasonable. It is unlikely that imported equipment at the same price can cope with the entire volume of work for which this workhorse is designed.
Back to TOP 10
What type of fuel do you prefer?
In this context, all walk-behind tractors can be divided into three main categories.
- Electric. Most often this is a small type of walk-behind tractor. With this unit you can process up to 5-7 acres of land at a time. Most often they are used to loosen the soil in a greenhouse, where it is not possible to use an internal combustion engine. They can operate both from the mains and from a battery.
- Gas engine. They are equipped with models of medium and large sizes. As a rule, gasoline-powered internal combustion engines are 2-stroke or 4-stroke. The main criteria for choosing are the engine volume, measured in cubic cm, and its power, measured in hp.
- Diesel. Most often this is a single-cylinder 4-stroke internal combustion engine, installed on a medium and heavy walk-behind tractor. Diesel-powered appliances are more environmentally friendly and economical. But the price for their service is much higher. In addition, the fuel system itself is much more sensitive to high-quality fuel, which can be difficult to find outside the city.
In some cases, alterations occur. Owners of some gasoline walk-behind tractors adapt their devices to run on gas, which can lead to significant savings on fuel.
