General information, purpose and design features
For starters, it’s about and “Agro” - absolutely identical walk-behind tractors. Agros is an earlier version, and the design of the model has remained almost unchanged over many years of production.
The car is produced at the Ufa Engine Plant, which was founded in 1925. In the 1920s and 1930s, the company was considered the largest manufacturer of aircraft engines in the USSR. In peacetime, the plant began to master the production of agricultural machinery. The company's workforce now consists of more than 200 people. As for the Agros walk-behind tractor itself, its production began in 1998. The project turned out to be so successful that over the past years, about 40 thousand walk-behind tractors of the same name, as well as various attachments for them, have been produced and sold.
The production of the walk-behind tractor of the same name was completed in 2008 due to a complete stop in the production of all such equipment at the Ufa plant. The fact is that the company began to receive more orders for the production of aviation equipment, which is more profitable. In this regard, the assembly of "Agros" was stopped. However, later the walk-behind tractor began to be produced at another plant, which belongs to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ufa-Mechanika LLC.
The Argos model allows you to efficiently and effectively carry out work on cultivating the soil, planting and digging up root crops and other vegetable crops. The rich basic equipment allows you to perform the required amount of work for the first time. Thanks to the ability to connect various attachments, the walk-behind tractor can be turned into a full-fledged mini-tractor, capable of cultivating the soil to great depths, pumping water, transporting loads, etc.
Agros has a single-axle design with a power take-off shaft. The equipment is equipped with a manually locking differential. This device is responsible for distributing the load on both wheels, which is very important when driving in difficult terrain.
It can be noted without any doubt that the Agros walk-behind tractor, together with mounted options, has wider capabilities. That is why, when choosing this equipment, many people are looking at purchasing additional options that allow them to unlock 100% of the potential of the walk-behind tractor.

Characteristics and dimensions
The Agros walk-behind tractor has the following characteristics: the track is 600 mm, the turning radius is at least 600 mm. The ground clearance of the walk-behind tractor is 250 mm. The equipment is designed to overcome fords up to 300 mm deep. Tire parameters – 6x12 inches. The maximum processing depth is 200 mm.
A 4-stroke single-cylinder carburetor running on gasoline fuel is responsible for performance. This is a domestic UMZ-341 engine with a power of 8 horsepower, which has a forced air cooling system. The design of the engine is completely identical to the Japanese Honda GX240 engine. A special feature of the engine is its low compression ratio, which allows it to work even with low-quality fuel. Thus, gasoline with both low and high octane numbers is allowed.
The cylinders in the engine are located at an inclined angle of 25 degrees. Let us pay attention to the improved lubrication system in the UMZ-341 engine. Thus, the operating principle of the new technology is not to spray oil, but to supply it under high pressure to the rubbing elements. The supply occurs under the influence of the oil pump after the oil has been filtered in a replaceable filter.
Among other characteristics of the UMZ-341 motor, we note:
- Dimensions: 490x440x375 mm
- Volume 0.3 liters
- Torque 17 N/m
- Compression ratio – 7.4
- The piston stroke is 68 mm, the cylinder diameter is 78 mm.
The engine, which weighs 35 kg, is started by a manual starter. Alas, there is no electronic starter even in the basic configuration. But there is support for cheap fuel starting from the A-76.
The engine works with a six-speed manual transmission, which has two speeds for forward movement. The built-in reverse allows you to move backwards and thereby improves maneuverability, which is very convenient, for example, when processing small areas with many obstacles that have to be avoided.

Let us note the main features of the transmission:
- The design includes a conical “dry” type friction clutch. The clutch has manual control.
- The main gear is presented in the form of a pair of bevel gears with circular teeth.
- Gear bevel differential with forced locking.
Prices in Russia
The average cost of a new Agros/Agro walk-behind tractor is in the range of 50-60 thousand rubles. This is what the basic equipment costs, while versions with attachments are much more expensive. Attachment options increase the price by an average of 10 thousand rubles.
Since the walk-behind tractor has been in production for decades, it can be found on the second-hand market in huge quantities. You should beware of specimens in poor condition, of which there are quite a lot. Experience shows that a walk-behind tractor in good condition will cost about 30-40 thousand rubles, including attachments.
The Agros walk-behind tractor successfully competes with the Belarus-09N and Burlak 10 DF models.
Owner reviews
Basil:
“I didn’t buy my Agros new. I don’t use it very often, since I also have a second walk-behind tractor, and with it I do all the work related to the garden. I have more agro for transportation, like a tractor and labor.
Pros: good speed in 4th gear, enough power to use it as a snow blower. The most worthy walk-behind tractor along with MTZ and Motor Sich.
Disadvantages: almost all owners sooner or later encounter a breakdown of the final drive wheel axle shaft. The previous owner had it that way, he changed it himself. I’m okay so far.”
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.

Customer reviews about the Agro walk-behind tractor (source: Internet forums)
A good professional class device. The only part I have any complaints about is the carburetor. The MB is designed to work in different modes, but the carburetor is unable to support this; at idle and medium speeds there are no problems, but when loads and full loads arise, the speeds begin to float. At MB I replaced it with a single-chamber one from Zaporozhets. Now it works without problems.
I would suggest a step with 2 positions, since with it fully extended it is not possible to attach a trailer or attach an attachment. Fuel tank with a flat bottom! I understand that it is compact, but it does not provide fuel to the engine in all operating modes of the walk-behind tractor! IMHO - either it should be cylindrical, or with a “cone” bottom. It’s also inevitable that all agro units should be equipped with additional weights when selling, and I really want a system for additional balancing of the walk-behind tractor when working with various attachments. And the main thing, of course, is the expansion of the dealer network...
Another would be to add brakes on the wheels, the ability to change the track, install a hydraulic pump (for example, like on the MTZ mini tractor), increase the rigidity of the steering column, and an oil pressure indicator. The PTO engagement drive should be made with a cable like the Djuse or with the same lever that turns on the differential lock. It didn’t hurt to modernize the cutter: reduce the speed, change the knife fastening system and increase the working width to 700 mm. In addition, I would also like to diversify the attachments - I would like a rotary mower with a centrifugal clutch for the blade drive + mulching and a grass catcher, a hole drill, a universal drive unit for the units - a pulley with an angular gearbox for the PTO, etc. And, most importantly, a REDUCTION in prices for everything, especially for attachments.

- 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:
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.
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.

Design, repair and adjustment of the carburetor
The diagram below shows the design of the carburetor of the Agro walk-behind tractor - model KR-45R.
Carburetor type: float. Horizontal diffuser arrangement.
Adjustment (tuning) of the carburetor of the Agro walk-behind tractor is carried out only when the engine is warm; the position of the throttle valve is adjusted using a special adjusting screw. The idle speed should be so low that the engine runs and sounds uniformly and evenly. The maximum and minimum engine speeds are adjusted several times until the desired result is achieved.
Seals, boots, bearings
- For Agro walk-behind tractors, bearings with an internal diameter of 20 mm and an external diameter of 47 mm are used. Bearing width - 14 mm.
- Oil seals (cuffs) for this model: for the gearbox/transmission, seal size 2.2-30×52×1, for the input shaft, seal dimensions 20×42×10 mm
- Boots for "Agros": universal for walk-behind tractors with a power of 6-9 hp.
Clutch, transmission, flywheel
The Agros transmission consists of the following elements:
- cone clutch - dry type, with a friction clutch;
- gear reducer;
- differential (there is a forced locking function).
Number of gears: 4 forward, 2 reverse.
