High-quality Chinese products assembled in the Urals

Forza brand walk-behind tractors are products of the Perm manufacturing plant in Perm. This company assembles gasoline and diesel tools: walk-behind tractors and chainsaws from devices made in China; sells trailed and suspended equipment, spare parts for them. The company has been collecting and selling walk-behind tractors under the Forza brand since 2010. In the manufacture of these walk-behind tractors, various engines made in China are used, including: Subaru-Robin, BriggsStratton, Lifan.

The current price list of the company includes 42 models of Forza walk-behind tractors with PTO and 15 models of Forza walk-behind tractors with V-belt drive. They differ in engine power (ranging from 6.5 to 15 hp), wheel size, weight, starter type (electric or manual), and the presence or absence of a differential.

In a belt walk-behind tractor, the torque is transmitted to the active suspension devices from the motor using a V-belt drive. In a walk-behind tractor with a PTO (power take-off shaft), the driving mechanism of the suspended equipment is connected to the box by means of a splined shaft. This obviously increases the operational reliability and durability of both the main agricultural unit and its additional accessories. And walk-behind tractors with a PTO are more expensive than belt ones.

The warranty that the manufacturer provides for this product is 12 months from the date of purchase of the walk-behind tractor. It is provided only for the main product (motoblock) assembled. Does not apply to replaceable wearable accessories for this product, as well as to breakdowns that occur as a result of improper operation of the walk-behind tractor.

Device

If you know the structure of the Oka walk-behind tractor, this can help you choose the right model, provide it with proper care and operate the device correctly. The equipment is self-propelled and looks like something between a small tractor and a cultivator. There are not many main nodes, among them the following should be highlighted:

• engine;
• fuel pump;
• crankcase;
• pulley;
• steel frame;
• pneumatic wheels;
• clutch system;
• control levers;
• gear shift lever.

This equipment uses the most common type of drive; such equipment is reliable and durable, and has a wide power range. Cars can be medium-heavy or light. Such models are popular because they are effective in areas of different sizes.

The greatest demand among the population is for devices with motors from well-known concerns. As for reliability, it is ensured by air cooling, which is expressed in the operation of the flywheel impeller. It turns on when the crankshaft rotates and forces flows of cold air onto the engine cylinder.

usually uses a belt type of connection of nodes. This design is the simplest, and it consists of a tensioned belt and several pulleys. Repairs here are simple and inexpensive, but the belt can slip and burst.

The use of a snow blower on an Oka walk-behind tractor has become especially popular in our country. With this addition, removing snow from the area is not difficult. The snow blower of the Oka walk-behind tractor is driven by a V-belt drive. The purchase of a snow blade for the Oka walk-behind tractor is available in the modification SM-06 TU 4737-04-12352276-00.

What can be included with

The Oka walk-behind tractor can be combined with mounted and trailed devices. The following additional attachments are used:

• potato planter - with the ability to plant, bury and form proofs;
• milling cutter - used for loosening soils of different nature;
• mower - used for mowing grass and hard-stemmed vegetation that grows on roadsides, low slopes and other inconvenient areas;
• trolley with one axle - used to move cargo;
• snow blower - used to clear the area of ​​snow cover;
• plow and hiller - used for plowing soil of various compositions;
• potato digger – is used when harvesting potatoes.

There are other types of devices - brushes, blades, hitches, ground hooks and trailers. They can also be purchased at the market.

Attaching the hitch

The hitch is attached to the walk-behind tractor using a universal hitch. For example, you can attach the Oka potato digger yourself with a minimum number of tools. To do this, you need to connect the hitch to the MB bracket with special bolts, which are supplied with the motor cultivator.

Next, you can attach any attachments to the hitch. It should be noted that the setup and adjustment of attachments is carried out individually. The settings depend on the type of soil, power and dimensions of the MB.

Adjusting the walk-behind tractor plow

Setting up the plow involves adjusting the plowing depth. The optimal depth for plowing the soil is the distance that the bayonet of a shovel takes. If you set the depth incorrectly, then if the depth is insufficient, weeds will remain in the ground. And in the opposite situation, the fertile layer of soil can mix with the infertile one, which will negatively affect the nutrition of plants.

The plowing depth is adjusted using bolts that secure the plow with the hitch. By moving the plow up or down, you can adjust the optimal plowing depth.

Improvements to the Oka walk-behind tractor

Every walk-behind tractor user sooner or later has a question about improving the Oka walk-behind tractor and attachments with his own hands. The design of this equipment allows it to be modernized and adjusted to the personal requirements of each owner. Today on the Internet you can find a lot of videos on how to increase the speed of the Oka walk-behind tractor, how to make a seeder or even a lawn mower with your own hands. For folk craftsmen, there is no limit to perfection, which means that a simple MB can become an all-terrain vehicle, a hay harvester, a snow blower or a means of transportation on snow.

In fact, you are unlikely to be able to increase the speed of the unit. The fact is that you cannot change the characteristics of the motor, which means that all you can do is take care of it so that the speed does not decrease due to improper use. In order for the MB to work for a long time and its motor not to fail, you need to lubricate its main elements more often and monitor the oil level.

But if the engine cannot be accelerated, you can improve the gear shift system of the walk-behind tractor. Some craftsmen make special additional handles to quickly switch speed modes. However, before starting the modernization, you need to understand that any intervention in the mechanism will void the warranty of the walk-behind tractor and in the event of a breakdown, you will have to repair it at your own expense.

Features of choice

If you want to choose such equipment for your garden, you need to decide on the conditions for using the unit. The design features, dimensions and power of the equipment must correspond to the characteristics of the soil, the area of ​​the site and the nature of the work performed. If you want to cultivate virgin lands, then it is better to purchase a device with a high weight, because a lightweight device can “jump” out of the ground, and to hold it you will need to apply significant physical force. If you have to work with an area that has been previously processed, you can purchase a device of medium weight, because, otherwise, the walk-behind tractor may bury itself in the ground under its own weight, because of this the operator will have to apply more force.

Among other market offers, Oka walk-behind tractors should be highlighted; you can learn about their characteristics, attachments and its features from the article. In order to make the right choice, you should also read the reviews.
