Motoblocks 105 and 135 hopper are also among the popular ones. Each model has its own characteristics that allow you to use the equipment in suitable conditions. The Khoper 1100 walk-behind tractor contains both domestic and foreign parts, but the assembly itself is of high quality and reliable.

Overview of the Hopper lineup

The hopper allows you to carry out various agricultural work, in particular, hilling potatoes with a walk-behind tractor or any other procedure. The characteristics of the model range are similar to other options from domestic manufacturers, but there are a number of features:

compactness combined with functionality;
each model weighs differently in kg, depending on the configuration and its class, which allows you to select equipment according to the required dimensions and weight category;
a number of models have a headlight for working at night;
a cast iron cylinder liner is often installed, which extends the life of the engine;
attractive design and special external design;
work is possible for 4-6 hours without interruption, as there is a high-quality cooling system.

Important! All key components, such as necks and engine mounts, are arranged in a convenient configuration for easy maintenance. This point is common to all models of the brand.

Also, each model has its own description and instructions, which specify not only the characteristics, but also all the requirements for operation and maintenance. Regardless of the class of equipment and the chosen option, all operating rules must be followed, as otherwise malfunctions and malfunctions may occur. This is due to the fact that each model has its own maintenance system, which does not allow parts and important elements to wear out quickly.

The Khoper 1000U 7B walk-behind tractor is one of the popular gasoline versions and has a power of 7 hp. The standard size of the cultivated area is 1 hectare. The equipment belongs to the middle class and has 4 speeds, including one reverse. Key Features:

easy maneuverability;
the presence of wide wings to protect against dirt and dust;
adjusting the depth of the soil cut;
with a powerful engine, fairly economical consumption;
there is convenient control.

Important! The model is not intended for heavy work. For example, it is not used in the form of a mini tractor for transporting significant loads. The walk-behind tractor is exactly like the middle class and differs little in capabilities from its analogues.

All the main features of the model range are met, that is, the assembly is quite strong and the duration of uninterrupted operation is increased in relation to competitors.

The Hopper 1100 9 DS has a Lifan 177F engine and is considered one of the most powerful diesel options in the model range. A special feature is the possibility of use in both agriculture and construction. Advantages:

low noise level during the working process;
the presence of a valve that shuts off the fuel supply. It is necessary for comfortable transportation;
a cast iron sleeve is used to increase service life;
standard power is 9 hp;
cooling has been installed, which significantly exceeds the quality of competitors' systems;
The gasoline analogue of the model is 1100 9B, which has a more capacious fuel tank.

The usual cost of a diesel version as standard does not exceed 40,000 rubles, but if additional attachments are available, the price may vary greatly. Even though the model range belongs to the budget class, some modifications cost the same as their competitors.

Important! The model is considered complete for creating a mini-tractor and is used for any type of work, since it has both the necessary power and the ability to couple with any additional equipment.

First of all, the diesel version has gained popularity due to its combination of reliability and efficiency with increased functionality.

Description of the walk-behind tractor

Motoblocks of the 1100 series are among the most powerful from the manufacturer of the Khoper brand. This line has models with both gasoline and diesel engines, and diesel is especially popular among farmers. Motoblocks of this series are equipped with four-stroke Lifan engines (China). The engines are characterized by increased endurance and good working life.

Diesel walk-behind tractor Hopper 1100 6D

The series includes the following modifications:

Hopper 1100 6DS (diesel, power 6 hp);
Hopper 1100 9B (petrol, power 9 hp);
Hopper 1100 9BS (petrol, power 9 hp);
Hopper 1100 9DS (diesel, power 9 hp);
Hopper 1100 9B MQ (petrol, power 9 hp).

Engine for walk-behind tractor Khoper

Motor cultivators have various elements, for example, the engine of the Hopper walk-behind tractor has good characteristics for a diesel engine. Main engines installed on the model range:

For each type of equipment, water or air cooling is provided. Also, depending on the season, your engine oil is used.

Important! After equipment downtime or after purchase, it is necessary to carry out a full run-in to eliminate all problems and configure the systems.

In the standard version, the running-in period is 20 hours. There is a nuance here: the running-in is carried out at 1/3 of the possible engine power, that is, the equipment cannot be overloaded.

By the time of full operation, all systems must be configured. This will avoid malfunctions and operational failures. Another point is the use of only original parts in the engine. Each engine has its own characteristics that need to be taken into account. If there are many worn parts, then the best option would be to completely replace the mechanisms and run them in.

Owner reviews

Owner reviews allow you to determine which version of equipment is required. Also, with the help of reviews, you can understand the main positive and negative aspects of the walk-behind tractor.

Anton, 34 years old, Lipetsk

“I took 9 DS specifically for carrying out various types of work. I have been plowing and planting on it for several years now. Sometimes I use it for construction work and transporting goods. There were no special comments. The only problem all this time was the belt rubbing during operation. The service installed the tension correctly, and there were no more incidents.”

Pavel, 29 years old, Novosibirsk

“I immediately began to use the Khoper as a small tractor. I don’t even know how it works in the walk-behind process, but in its current state it doesn’t create any problems. The power is not enough, but for its engine everything is very good. The only thing I don’t like is that if preservation is required, then everything has to be removed from it. But without this, there may be problems later. I’m already convinced.”

Andrey, 43 years old, Khabarovsk

“I needed equipment for a dacha area. The tractor was too expensive, and foreign walk-behind tractors were not very pleased with the price, including spare parts. I chose Hopper. 9 horses are enough for any job and eats little. There are good sides and not so good sides. Compared to other diesel units, it is economical and has simple operation. It does not jerk when moving and has a smooth ride. But the technology needs to be carefully monitored. Especially behind the clutch and engine. They do not break only with constant maintenance. Usually, twice a year, trips to the service center are enough for me so that there are no problems later.”

Victor, 47 years old, Moscow: “I’ve been using Hopper for 3 years. This is a compact, small-sized equipment, so I recommend buying weights right away. At the beginning there were problems with the clutch, but I made repairs in time, and now everything works without failures.”

Taras, 39 years old, Volgograd: “I bought Khoper for use on a summer cottage. The equipment copes with all agricultural tasks. I’ve been using it for 3 years now and haven’t had any repairs yet.”

Anatoly, 41 years old, Taganrog: “I bought a unit for processing virgin soil, but the Khoper turned out to be easy to perform such work, so I had to additionally purchase weighting materials. I can note that the engine starts well and runs properly.”
