NEVA walk-behind tractors are produced in St. Petersburg. The entire line of manufactured equipment is extremely popular both in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus. Why did the equipment of this enterprise become so popular, what is the model range, what for what, which NEVA walk-behind tractor to choose in 2022? This is what we will talk about today.
JSC "Red October" has been producing walk-behind tractors and cultivators under the NEVA brand for more than 10 years; the model range includes more than a dozen models; in addition to garden equipment, the company produces snow blowers, attachments, buggies, adapters, motorized towing vehicles and much more. But today we will talk about walk-behind tractors. The company constantly strives to surprise consumers with new models in the line, constantly improves its equipment, and updates its lineup. This happened at the end of 2019, almost a complete change in the model range. But first you need to understand what the NEVA range of equipment is.
Let me immediately warn readers that all NEVA walk-behind tractors are belt-driven, the clutch in the walk-behind tractors is belt driven, the power take-off of active attachments (rotary mower, water pump, rotary snow blower, wood splitter, branch chopper and much more) occurs through a V-belt drive. Active attachments have a pulley, which is connected by means of a belt to the power take-off pulley in the walk-behind tractor, thus, torque is transmitted to the mechanism of the active equipment and sets it in motion.

Reviews and opinions of owners
Let's take a look at the opinions of farmers who have already purchased this model.
Ilya, Ryazan, Russia:
“I want to share my conclusions about Neva MB2. I bought it for my father, so I’ll say that the walk-behind tractor is very convenient, despite the power, the dimensions are such that you can easily drive it on loose soil - it doesn’t get bogged down, maneuvers well, and is quite light. I worked with MB2-B MultiAGRO (I/C 6.5) on alumina - I did it easily, and my retired father uses it without any problems. A good, nimble walk-behind tractor will go through and turn around where others won’t fit!”
Vladimir, Ufa, Russia:
“I bought myself” MB2-N MA CX200. I’ll immediately describe the advantages: the first is the management. You can hold it with one hand without applying force, the walk-behind tractor does not fall over. I hooked up the trailer and the blade and the snow blower, everything works! The second plus is the start. Starts up very well and smoothly. I liked the fastenings, they seem like a small thing, but nothing is loose or loose. I’m not drawing any conclusions yet, I’m waiting for spring, then I’ll check how it works. Still, I recommend Neva for purchase, it’s a cool piece of equipment.”
