Owner reviews
There are many reviews on the Internet from owners of this Aurora walk-behind tractor model. They note its functionality and efficiency, and its disadvantages are the heavy weight of the unit.
Basil:
“I concluded that the Country series from Aurora is generally good! As for the price, a good walk-behind tractor cannot be cheap. Now the new Advance 1350 costs almost 60 thousand rubles, which is not a small amount. But you can pay for the set of functions and power that the manufacturer provides. There’s only one thing that worries me personally: the Aurora is very similar in design to the Stenli, is it either a copy, or a coincidence?”

Design features of the Aurora-800 walk-behind tractor
“Aurora Country 800” is a mid-level walk-behind tractor designed for cultivating soil on personal plots and farm plots, as well as on small farms. At the same time, this equipment is capable, due to its power and aggregation capabilities, to cope not only with soil cultivation, but also with more complex tasks on the farm.
The main design features of the Aurora-800 walk-behind tractor are its light weight and compact dimensions; lightweight engine starting system; reliable chain rather than belt drive; durable cast iron gear housing, which protects it from stones. The hitch of the walk-behind tractor is reinforced and allows you to easily equip it with a plow, cart, potato digger and other options for additional equipment that require considerable energy effort.
A special feature of the walk-behind tractor is the large wings above the wheels.
Through a triple crankshaft pulley and a belt drive, the walk-behind tractor can be coupled with such additional equipment. equipment such as a rotary mower, snow blower bucket, etc.
Another feature of this technology is the hexagonal axles, which reliably and guaranteed fix the wheels, cutters and lugs.
The Aurora-800 walk-behind tractor is configured in a standard format - two drive wheels, a gear drive and an engine with a fuel tank on top. A very practical design feature of this walk-behind tractor is the presence of a large wing above the wheels, which protects the face from sand and dust, but if necessary, it can be removed.
The kit includes another support wheel attached to the front, which makes moving the cultivator easier and is much more convenient than a regular stand. This wheel can also be removed (for example, when a trailer is attached).
The control knobs are modern ergonomic; They fit quite comfortably in the hand. And if it is necessary to transport or store the walk-behind tractor, its “steering wheel” is easy to fold or remove. On the left handle there is a clutch handle and an emergency stop mechanism, and on the right there is a gas handle and a reverse control handle. An important feature: the Aurora-800 device is equipped with a manual starter with an “easy start” function.
In order to enhance user safety when working with various attachments connected to the walk-behind tractor via the power take-off shaft, engineers provided an original technical solution: a steel “petal”. It is located at the bottom of the “steering wheel” of the device - in this case, it blocks two forward gears and does not allow the operator to make a mistake in choosing the direction of movement.
The wheels are noticeably wider than on most walk-behind tractors currently on the market. They provide good cross-country ability on loose soil, combined with a fairly powerful and high-torque engine.

Vladimir:
I’ve only been using the walk-behind tractor for a year so far, but I hope that it will last for a long time. At this stage, I did not identify any shortcomings. The device operates like a tractor - it copes well with all the assigned tasks, including cultivation, plowing, and harvesting potatoes.
Aurora Country 1400 MULTI-SHIFT 13 HP

All about Aurora cultivators
As mentioned above, the country of origin for Aurora walk-behind tractors is China. But this does not mean that the quality of the equipment will be zero. On the contrary, you will be surprised at what these units can do thanks to their powerful motor and quality build. As reviews from owners show, with such a machine you will not have any problems or difficulties, regardless of which model you choose.
Despite the fact that Aurora walk-behind tractors appeared in our country quite recently, during this time they have managed to earn the respect of consumers. It is worth noting that all models from this brand are copies of equipment from well-known ones - this is a copy of the Centaur 2060D. The only difference is the color of the cars.
All equipment is produced in Chinese factories in compliance with all necessary requirements and standards. Many models are equipped with very powerful engines, running on either gasoline or diesel, with increased service life, which makes this equipment almost professional.
Less popular models
Based on the Country 1000 model, the Aurora Country 1050 version has been created, which is distinguished by an increased number of cutters in the set - 32 pieces. instead of 24 pcs. The cutter diameter has been increased by 20 mm and is 380 mm. Due to the expanded cutter, the weight of the walk-behind tractor increased to 114 kg.
For work on heavy soils, the 1050 Advance version is available, equipped with a 177F gasoline engine. The power unit develops a power of 9 liters. With. with a cylinder displacement of 270 cm³. Externally, walk-behind tractors differ in their fuel tanks - the more powerful model uses a tank that can hold 6.5 liters of gasoline. Installation of a powerful engine led to an increase in the weight of the walk-behind tractor, which is 127 kg.
A 9-horsepower gasoline engine is installed on the heavy Aurora G-135 walk-behind tractor. There is a modification 135E, which uses a diesel power unit. A special feature of the design is the installation of an electric starter. The engine has a backup starting system from a recoil starter. The walk-behind tractors are equipped with a 2-speed transmission and a worm main pair.
The Space Yard 1000D diesel heavy-duty walk-behind tractor, equipped with a 9-hp engine, is supplied to the Russian market. With. The product is distinguished by the presence of headlights installed in a plastic fairing above the engine. The headlights are powered from the on-board network, which includes a battery and a generator. The diesel engine is started using an electric starter; a backup manual starting system is retained.
The small-sized Gardener 550 Mini cultivator is equipped with a 4-stroke gasoline engine with a displacement of 160 cm³. Engine power - 6 liters. With. Torque is transmitted to the wheels through a 1-speed chain transmission. The cultivator is equipped with a 550 mm wide cutter designed for plowing soil to a depth of 200 mm.

Technical specifications
These days there are several models of Aurora. They all have different parameters and sizes. For example, for operation on a private agricultural plot, a lightweight version of a walk-behind tractor is best suited. Its weight does not exceed 40 kilograms, and it is very convenient for working in small areas. The engine of small walk-behind tractors has a power of no more than 4.5 horsepower. The cultivator of such a machine is capable of penetrating into the ground to a depth of no more than 20 centimeters.
The medium-sized Aurora walk-behind tractor is optimal for cultivating large areas of land. They are somewhat wider and slightly more stable than lightweight models. Medium models are equipped with forward and reverse gears.
The most powerful are the heavy walk-behind tractors. Their power can be equal to 6 horsepower, and their weight can reach 120 kilograms. You can easily connect various attachments to them in the form of a plow, seeder and others.
There are also cars with an electric starter, thanks to which starting the engine does not cause any serious difficulties even in cold weather.
Advantages and disadvantages
The disadvantages of Aurora equipment include the use of plastic parts in the design of units and external decoration. Plastic is fragile, especially at low air temperatures. Often there are breakdowns of the gearbox and the main pair associated with poor quality bearings. Aurora diesel walk-behind tractors are equipped with a reinforced transmission that does not have this drawback.
The disadvantage of the Aurora equipment is the use of 6-sided shafts to drive agricultural equipment. For this reason, the range of attachments is small.
The manufacturer recommends using a hitch of its own production that is compatible with drives.
When operating walk-behind tractors, it is necessary to control the lubrication level in the units. The volume of the oil reducer is 1.5 liters, the capacity of the engine crankcase depends on the model. The oil is changed in accordance with the maintenance chart. The service life of the entire product depends on timely oil changes.
The advantages of Aurora agricultural machinery include the unification of the design with other Chinese-made walk-behind tractors. For this reason, there are no problems with spare parts and components. Belts for Aurora walk-behind tractors have standard sizes; it is possible to use parts from various suppliers. Maintenance of Aurora walk-behind tractors is not difficult; owners carry out routine maintenance themselves.
Reviews from direct owners of Aurora-800 walk-behind tractors
According to the majority of owners, the Aurora-800 brand walk-behind tractor is a good choice, based on the notorious price-quality ratio. Many do not hide the fact that when purchasing, the deciding factor was the low cost of this walk-behind tractor, and not anything else.
Most owners note that the Aurora-800 walk-behind tractor is extremely easy to operate and convenient to use. You just need to first understand all the nuances, but then no problems arise with the use of this technique. In exchange for relatively low costs, you can get a lot of free time, a good harvest and just a beautiful view outside the window.
Those who recently purchased it and are using it only for the first season (by the way, the majority of reviews can be found from such people) are especially happy about their Aurora-800 walk-behind tractor. It is rated as an extremely useful thing both for professionals and for those who simply like to dig in the garden. When there is a private house with a large plot, or there is a considerable dacha, then manually cultivating all the land is very problematic and troublesome.
“I didn’t even think about buying a walk-behind tractor until I saw this miracle of technology from a neighbor. I asked to borrow it for a few days, and by the end of the second day I was sure that digging in the garden with a shovel was a real savagery and a thing of the past. I chose the Aurora-800 and don’t regret the purchase: it’s a convenient device and handles any equipment without any problems.”
After cultivation with the Aurora-800 walk-behind tractor, the land, according to the owners’ impressions, becomes very lush and seems to rise. The walk-behind tractor “lifted stones from the depths,” and this happened several times until the stones all came to the surface.
Homemade trailer for the Aurora walk-behind tractor.
Another positive point. Everyone (or at least many) people know how difficult it is to remove a weed like wheatgrass. Standard cutters wind strong and long wheatgrass roots. After one pass, you need to stop and rip these “bobbins” off the cutters. But then, the next year, the wheatgrass was gone! In the very place where they fought against him unsuccessfully for many years.
Typically, Aurora-800 walk-behind tractors are praised not only by beginners, but also by those users who have already had experience working with similar equipment from other brands. “I haven’t had any particular problems with the Aurora-800 in two seasons. It is no worse and no better than units that are better known or more expensive. So if you doubt whether it’s worth buying a walk-behind tractor from the little-known Aurora brand, I advise you – you’re happy with the price, take it, it won’t let you down. The only drawback I can mention is excessive noise.”
A number of sources note that the Aurora-800 walk-behind tractor has no equal in cross-country ability. It also pulls any attachments without problems, including when working on virgin soil; on dense and clayey soils; It easily breaks all the clods with cutters and grinds them into fluff. The engine starts well, there are no complaints about fuel consumption, it corresponds to the nameplate, but, however, it takes a little more oil than the amount declared by the manufacturer.
“In general, it’s just an excellent device, although it’s still noticeable that it’s Chinese. The oil seal is leaking, everything is squishy, in general, like all their products, it is not flawless. It differs from other walk-behind tractors in that the gearbox is made of cast iron and the pulley has two belts. Nice motor! I liked that it never overheats, doesn’t choke, and in second gear it plowed everything perfectly.”
For many, the Aurora walk-behind tractor has become a familiar and valuable assistant in the household.
As a rule, serious breakdowns do not occur during the operation of Aurora-800 walk-behind tractors, especially in the first 2-3 years of their service. Naturally, some small things have to be changed, but not a single repair, according to the owners’ reviews, is expensive: “nothing extraordinary, replacing a cable or hose, etc., iron is iron, and even the products of famous companies cannot do without these procedures."
One of the downsides is also the quality of the coloring. It really leaves much to be desired: the paint peels off inexorably and quite quickly. It is noted that, although impeccable in cultivating and loosening the soil, the Aurora-800 walk-behind tractor is not so good in plowing: its weight is too small. “We tried to plow on it with a plow - it jumps on lugs, like that saiga.”
One of the owners of the Aurora walk-behind tractor talks in detail about the problems with the gearbox that he encountered after a couple of seasons of operation of the equipment.
“It all started with a slight crunch in the gearbox in high gear (the gears had shifted). Then the crunching intensified until the box jammed. During disassembly, it was discovered that the bearing on the pulley simply crumbled and tore the oil seal, all rusty, made of unhardened, low-quality metal. Pulling out the outer race of the bearing turned out to be not so easy. It sits deep, and you can’t get to the side from the inside, you need a puller. I had to look for original parts specifically. I must say, not very successfully. Fortunately, the old, Soviet bearings from Moskvich fit.
There is no hole in the box to drain the oil. Cotter pins are made of very soft metal like plasticine. The bearings in the box are rusty, some are dry. Although the manufacturers of the sealant did not spare it, I barely tore the box off the engine (moisture could not get in from the outside). Some bearings have no cages at all, just bulk bearings, despite the fact that they are in a vertical position and not completely filled, there are 8 balls each.”
Among other serious shortcomings, the extreme fragility of Chinese metal is noted, which often breaks off in the most literal sense of the word, “the lower gearbox shaft, as if it were not metal at all.” The strength of the welded joints is even worse; “probably glued ones would have lasted longer.” Often, our home-grown “Kulibins” succeed in remaking Aurora-800 walk-behind tractors after serious breakdowns much better than the Chinese manufacturers themselves.
