Owner reviews

Vladimir:

“I bought a Texas 532 motor-cultivator on sale. We decided to choose a well-known manufacturer rather than Chinese cars. And they were not mistaken. My neighbor has already taken his walk-behind tractor to the service center for repairs twice, and this is our third year without any problems. I have a plot of 48 acres, little by little I do everything that needs to be done with different attachments with a cultivator - plowing, weeding, hilling potatoes. I attached the cart and can carry 4-5 bags freely.

Advantages: The entire structure of the unit is perfectly balanced - the center of gravity is rationally shifted thanks to the aluminum frame. The cutters are conveniently located.

Repair of equipment

A device such as the Texas cultivator is a reliable machine. However, in some cases, especially after prolonged use, this mechanism may fail:

Most often, the machine becomes faulty if the area being processed is heavily littered.
It is recommended to walk around trees, as the knife may get caught in a root and break.
If parts of the mechanism that allow the edge to move are faulty, more complex repair work may be required.
It is most difficult to repair a Texas cultivator if the automation fails. In this case, it is necessary to replace the entire unit, as required by the instructions. It is best to take the device to a service center after reading reviews about the technicians. This will save money.

To avoid breakdowns and forced repairs, it is recommended to pre-run the device. Throughout the entire process, the machine usually uses up all the fuel that is in the tank. After this, the oil in the crankcase is replaced. To avoid condensation, it is recommended to leave some fuel in the fuel tank. This will also prevent rust from occurring.

Operation and Maintenance

Run-in

To extend the life of Texas motor cultivators, reduce breakdowns and unproductive downtime, first of all, you should run in the machine. At the beginning of the break-in procedure, the engine should be idled, then gradually begin to work in a gentle mode - up to 50% of the load for 10-13 hours, various types of soil cultivation are allowed.

At the break-in stage, the main components and mechanisms of the machine are broken in, so you should pay attention to their functioning: the clarity of gear shifting, the condition of the moving parts of the structure, chassis, wheels, the presence of noise. Upon completion of the break-in, change the oil and perform a technical inspection of the cultivator again.

Fuel, oil

Gasoline cultivators Texas consume unleaded gasoline AI-92, fuel consumption is quite economical - 1 l/h, with increasing load, gasoline consumption may increase. The recommended oil grade is SAE 30.

User manual

Recommendations for the use of Texas motor cultivators are similar to the operating rules of other similar units; they are set out in detail in the instructions for each cultivator; we outline the basic requirements:

You should thoroughly study the instructions and specific features of the model, its technical characteristics, especially methods for emergency stopping of the machine.
The use of the cultivator for work that is not provided for in the instructions, or exceeding the maximum loads, is prohibited.
It is prohibited for persons under 16 years of age to operate the cultivator, persons not familiar with the instructions, those in a sick state, or those under the influence of alcohol.
When working, it is necessary to maintain a safe distance of 20 m from nearby people, animals, and property.
A thorough inspection of the equipment should be performed before each use.
Perform preventive maintenance as scheduled.

Basic faults

The most common failures of the cultivator motor and problems with the gearbox. Engine problems (won't start) can occur due to a clogged air filter, muffler, carburetor contamination, and spark plug combustion.

Noise in the gearbox occurs due to lack of oil, oil leakage - in this case, the seals will need to be replaced.

Significant vibration of the cultivator can be caused by improper installation of attachments. If the cutters stop rotating, the clutch cable may not be adjusted or the fasteners may have become loose.

The key to the longevity of any equipment is its proper operation. To extend the life of your assistant and avoid breakdowns, you should follow certain rules:

It is necessary to make sure that the treated area is not littered with stones, metal objects, or pieces of brick.
Care should be taken when working near trees to avoid the cutters becoming entangled in the roots. You can’t loosen the ground after cutting it down; the knives will definitely break on the roots.
A proven method of prevention is to always have a small amount of gasoline in the fuel tank, this will help avoid rust and condensation.
In case of malfunctions of the cultivator automation, it is highly recommended not to troubleshoot the problems yourself; it is wiser to use the services of specialized centers.

Common problems with walk-behind tractor

Excessive vibration of the device during its operation is typical for those cases when the summer resident has poorly adjusted the fastenings of attachments. Stop the equipment the minute the vibration is noticed and adjust the hitch parts properly. If the fasteners are worn out, they will need to be replaced with new ones.

Uneven running may occur due to problems with the wheels. Adjust the pressure in each of them to eliminate the problem.
