Motoblock "Ugra": technical characteristics

Every day, walk-behind tractors of various types are becoming more and more closely integrated into the lives of owners of personal plots.
This technique allows you to solve a large number of different problems simultaneously. One of the most prominent representatives of domestic technology of this type is “Ugra”. It can be equipped with different types of engines, but the principle of operation and the attachments used are completely standard, regardless of the configuration. This technique has many advantages. But there are certain nuances regarding the use of this type of technology. If possible, it is worth familiarizing yourself with all of them in advance. This will allow you to avoid many difficulties during the operation of the equipment.

Technical characteristics of components

Such a large number of different types of work becomes possible with the use of original attachments, which are best purchased from the manufacturer. The gearbox, equipped with two power take-off shafts, additionally allows the use of a feed cutter, earth drill, and pump. High reliability of operation, backed by a two-year manufacturer's warranty, is ensured by a metal-ceramic clutch and a gear drive. The optimal operating speed—from 3 to 8 km/h—is set by a four-speed transmission. The engine has one cylinder. The weight of this unit reaches 95 kg. A low center of gravity and a clearance of 0.17 m provide high stability during operation. Optimal fuel consumption varies between 2-2.5 liters of fuel per hour, achieved by using a convenient removable cleaning filter. Manufacturers took serious care of operator safety and equipped the unit with a universal, intuitive, two-handle control system. It is designed specifically to avoid traumatic situations.

Engine and gears

Ugra walk-behind tractors are assembled in Russia, equipped with professional-grade Lifan 177-F engines. It is a four-stroke, single-cylinder petrol engine that produces a maximum power of 9.0 HP. With. The high quality of parts and equipment allows it to operate at peak power for a long time without the risk of failure. During operation, the engine practically does not vibrate, so the operator’s hands practically do not get tired. again, the motor has a low noise level.

Gear shifting is carried out using a variator, and torque is transmitted to the wheels using metal gears. While with a belt drive there is a possibility of slippage, wear and even belt breakage, this does not happen with gears. All gearbox parts are made of industrial steel, they are practically not subject to wear.

The total number of gears is four, three forward and one reverse. Accordingly, the maximum speed when moving forward is 8.5 km/h, and when moving backward is 2.3 km/h.

Gear shifting is carried out by a lever mounted on the control handle. The gear shift mechanism is hidden under the casing, and the lubricant in which the gears rotate does not require replacement. The only exception is a violation of the integrity of the housing due to mechanical damage.

Reviews from owners of Ugra walk-behind tractors

Sergey Petrovich, 53 years old, Vologda

On the advice of friends, I purchased a domestic NMB-1N17 walk-behind tractor with a Chinese engine for my summer cottage. The machine seemed complicated at first glance. But after I read the instructions and tested the device, everything changed. Works great, almost silent. It goes easily on dry soils; I didn’t use any weights. Gasoline consumption is low. I only fill with AI-92.

This year I bought a potato planter from the Kaluga plant for the unit. I'm pleased with the result. The result was the following: a high yield of potatoes, carrots and garlic, mechanized cultivation of a large plot, planting and harvesting of root crops in a reduced time frame, no help from family members needed. If vegetables were planted within 3 days, now it takes 3 hours on a plot of 10 acres. For me this is a big plus.

Grigory Veniaminovich, 42 years old, Moscow region

After reading reviews from the owners, I bought an NMB-1N1 with a motor from CADVI. I haven't identified any shortcomings yet. There are no belts, which makes maintenance easier; spare parts can always be bought in the store. The unit can be disassembled into parts, so you can not leave it at the dacha, but transport it with you in your car. The engine produces excellent power and is easy to work with at any time of the year. I personally checked it when removing snow from the paths.

WHICH MOTOR-BLOCK ENGINE TO CHOOSE?

Any specialist involved in the sale of agricultural machinery will tell you that the choice of a walk-behind tractor engine is one of the most important factors. Today, walk-behind tractors with gasoline and diesel engines are available on the market. The functionality and prices of these engines have significant differences.

Let's look at the pros and cons of gasoline and diesel engines:

Gas engine.
The advantage of this engine is simplicity and reliability. The engine has compact dimensions and operates over a wide temperature range. The undoubted advantage of this engine is the price. The disadvantages of the engine include high fuel consumption and limited service life.
Diesel engines.
These engines are highly reliable and economical. As a rule, these engines are installed on models of medium and heavy class walk-behind tractors. The main disadvantage of the diesel engine is its high cost. When working at low temperatures, it is necessary to use special fuel, which is not always commercially available. Servicing these engines is quite problematic.

For processing small areas, we recommend purchasing light and medium-class walk-behind tractors with gasoline engines. For large areas, heavy-duty walk-behind tractors with a diesel engine.

Attachments

The factory line of attachments from Kadvi includes the following units and products:

driving module;
blade shovel;
snow blowers of various models;
harrow;
differential;
cultivator cutters;

Review of Ugra walk-behind tractor models

For 2016, a distinctive feature is the presence of an extensive range of Ugra walk-behind tractors. The catalog on the official website of the manufacturer presents the following:

NMB-1N1 - Kadvi DM-1M3 engine 8 hp;
NMB-1N2 - Honda GX-200 6.5 hp engine;
NMB-1N3 - Intek engine 6 hp;
NMB-1N7 - Lifan 168-F2 - 6.5 hp;
NMB-1N9 - Lifan EX-17 - 6 hp;
NMB-1N10 - Lifan EX-17 - 7 hp;
NMB-1N11 - Kadvi 168-F2 - 6.5 hp;
NMB-1N13 - Mitsubishi - 6 hp;
NMB-1N14 - Lifan 177-F - 9 hp;
NMB-1N15 - Lifan 177-F - 9 hp.

The most important difference between all the above models is the engine, as well as its power. The installation of a foreign unit has a significant impact on the cost of a particular walk-behind tractor.

— (this is the design of the block in CSS)

For the most part, models equipped with a foreign-made engine are more reliable. But at the same time, they are much more difficult to repair. At the same time, the Cadmi motor cannot boast of its reliability. But, at the same time, the process of repairing it takes less time. Spare parts are more accessible and purchasing them will not be difficult.

It is known that the production of walk-behind tractors dates back to 1966, when the Kaluga experimental motorcycle plant was created. Production does not stand still, and every year it works to improve existing modifications of all lines, or to develop and develop new ideas.

The Ugra brand is recognizable not only in Russia, but also abroad, in neighboring countries: Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Moldova. The popularity of walk-behind tractors from Kadvi is explained not only by their high quality, but also by the wide coverage of service centers, stores selling spare parts for walk-behind tractors, and stores selling these walk-behind tractors.

DOMESTIC OR IMPORTED MOTORBLOCKS?

There is an opinion that foreign-made walk-behind tractors are better in all respects than domestic ones. In our opinion, this opinion is subjective. The performance qualities and design of foreign and domestic walk-behind tractors are comparable. Today, domestically produced walk-behind tractors are equipped with engines from well-known manufacturers: Mitsubishi, Honda, Robin-Subaru, Briggs&Stratton. Such domestic manufacturers as NEVA, TSELINA, KADVI have proven themselves well. It should be noted that the assembly of some walk-behind tractors of foreign brands has been transferred to Russia. Thus, the assembly of PATRIOT walk-behind tractors is carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation. Among the foreign brands, it is necessary to note the walk-behind tractors of the following companies: HUSQVARNA, OLEO-MAK, CAIMAN, ELITECH, CHAMPION.

The choice of a domestic or foreign walk-behind tractor depends only on your preference and financial well-being. We recommend choosing a walk-behind tractor, taking into account the technical characteristics and areas of use.

The history of the creation of the Ugra walk-behind tractor

The walk-behind tractor itself was developed in . This enterprise has the organizational form of OJSC and has been successfully operating since 1966. Previously, this enterprise was several separate ones. It is built on the basis of:

Kaluga Turbine Plant;
Kaluga branch of the Research Automobile and Motor Vehicle Institute.

Production at this plant is carried out on a high-precision, fully automated conveyor. It is a line formed from unique foreign-made equipment. That is why Ugra walk-behind tractors are among the most reliable and functional in their price segment. The production of this equipment has been carried out for more than 10 years. During all this time, the walk-behind tractor has proven itself only on the positive side.
