Motoblock Salyut-5: attachments and adapter, lugs and potato digger, wheels and trailer

The walk-behind tractor is becoming an increasingly common technical tool that helps to carry out a fairly large range of work, typical for rural areas. This is understandable, because doing all this manually is quite problematic, especially for people of advanced age.

However, it is worth noting that the walk-behind tractor itself may not be enough for certain, specific agricultural work. Then you should pay attention to additional attachments that can be combined with Salyut walk-behind tractors and more.

Walk-behind tractors Salute

The Salute walk-behind tractors, as well as the Mole, Tarpan, Luch, Zubr 6 hp, Niva, Carver, Champion, Plowman, Don, Forza, Foreman, were produced in Russia, which in itself means they are adapted to Russian conditions, where not only cold temperatures are observed for more than half the year, but also special soil characteristics.

To make it more clear, let’s look at two models from the line of these walk-behind tractors – Salyut 100 and Salyut 5.

100

Salyut 100 seems to be an improved unit that has absorbed all the advantages of previous models, while correcting design flaws.

Salute 100

Due to the fact that the center of gravity is now focused on the front of the walk-behind tractor, it has become more stable on the territory, so there is no risk of the unit tipping over.

The location of the gear shift lever has also become more convenient. If previously it was placed on the gearbox, now the lever is located on the control handle itself, which greatly simplifies control of the device.

Due to the fact that the walk-behind tractor is easily disassembled, it can be freely transported in your car and then reassembled, if necessary.

The new walk-behind tractor has a 4-stroke engine running on regular AI-92 gasoline. In this case, the maximum power of the motor used will reach slightly less than 7.5 hp, with a fuel consumption of 1.5 liters per hour of operation.

In principle, this is a pretty good indicator of efficiency for an engine of this power. In addition, you can install attachments for the Salyut 100 walk-behind tractor, which will further increase its performance.

Large diameter wheels

The design of the unit uses wheels with an increased diameter, which can significantly increase the cross-country ability of the walk-behind tractor in the most difficult areas. Unlike previous models, the equipment of the Salyut 100 walk-behind tractor has been somewhat expanded. It now includes the following devices:

four cultivators;
cutters;
discs providing plant protection;
vomer;
oil dipstick;
hitch for additional equipment.

The next representative of the model range is the Salyut 5 walk-behind tractor, which belongs to the small-sized category. The manufacturer recommends operating this unit at temperatures up to +400C, while use in cold weather is undesirable.

Salyut 5

The unit is equipped with a 4-stroke gasoline engine (the design of this walk-behind tractor uses a variety of motors, which are indicated in the accompanying technical data sheet for a particular unit). It is worth remembering that the first hours of operation are trial periods when the engine gets used to the load.

Therefore, you need to gradually increase the digging depth, starting from the minimum value.

Additional accessories can be perfectly combined with these models. equipment for the Salyut walk-behind tractor, which significantly expands the boundaries of their use.

Specialized attachments for the Salyut walk-behind tractor

In addition to the equipment that we have described, there is also other equipment that was manufactured specifically for this family of walk-behind tractors. Remember, we talked about the rotary mower, about its possible use not only in the agricultural sector. but also in urban environments. A rotary mower will be useful for mowing tall and thick grass in city parks and squares, and for mowing grass along the road.

There are also attachments for walk-behind tractors of the Salyut family, which we have not yet described.

You can buy a trailed trolley for your walk-behind tractor in order to transport construction and agricultural (yes, any!) loads. The TP-1500 trolley for Salyut has a power of 4.76 hp. and is perfect for the needs of a summer resident. To attach various attachments to the Salute walk-behind tractor, buy an AM-2 adapter.

As an option, we will indicate a seeder for a walk-behind tractor. This one is suitable for sowing a plot of land with small vegetable seeds and grain crops. The seeder can be mounted to the Salyut walk-behind tractor using manual traction and the mentioned AM-2 adapter.

Optional equipment

Attachments for Salyut walk-behind tractors are widespread not only in Russia, but also in the countries of the former Union - Kazakhstan, Belarus, etc. Due to the fact that the climatic conditions in these countries are almost identical, the Salut walk-behind tractor is in sufficient demand.

Owning a personal plot involves not only outdoor picnics on weekends, but also carrying out certain soil cultivation work. The Swift cultivator will help you with this.
A snow surface is far from being the best surface for cars, so in snowy areas it is necessary to use other modes of transport that allow you to successfully move on such a surface. By following the link you will get acquainted with the Varyag 550 snowmobile.
To spray all kinds of fertilizers, various fertilizers and all sorts of chemicals to protect plants from harmful insects, it’s a good idea to have a special device. Here's everything about the characteristics of the Zhuk sprayer.

The Salute walk-behind tractor and its attachments, the prices of which you will find out a little later, are a fairly universal country “helper” that can significantly simplify and reduce the time spent working on the land. This is evidenced by the list of works feasible for this unit:

plowing of land holdings;
hilling up beds;
digging up potatoes and beets;
hay making;
snow removal in winter, etc.

Harvesting hay

In addition, you can use the hay harvesting unit as a mower for cutting lawns in your garden. It is only important to adjust the cutting height of the grass surface.

Having understood the work that a walk-behind tractor is capable of carrying out, you can move on to a description of the technical means that help carry out this work. In particular, attachments for the Salyut 5 walk-behind tractor, as well as other models in the line.

In total, there are several types of equipment that can be aggregated with Salyut walk-behind tractors:

Various attachments for Agat-Salut walk-behind tractors.

Motoblocks "Salut" and attachments for it

Motoblocks "Salut" and attachments for it are one of the best domestic units in the field of agricultural work. They are unique in their structure and functionality and are successfully used in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. In dacha farming, walk-behind tractors are famous for their versatility due to the presence of high power and a large selection of attachments. If you have a Salyut 5 walk-behind tractor, you can use it on your plot of land in the countryside if you buy attachments for plowing the soil, hilling and digging up potatoes, and for cutting hay. You can also purchase a pump for the walk-behind tractor to supply water, buy a trailer for transporting cargo, and even an option that will allow you to use the walk-behind tractor in winter, such as a snow shovel.

And even if you are a city resident with a private house, you can still take advantage of the Salute walk-behind tractor.

So, we mentioned that in rural areas you can use a walk-behind tractor to cut hay. You can also adjust this canopy for lawn mowing (rotary mower) - the only difference is the grass growth setting. Again, you can use the canopy to irrigate your lawn, or the canopy option for clearing fallen leaves in the fall.

What kind of attachments are there for the Salyut 5L-6.5 walk-behind tractor?

The first requirement for walk-behind tractors is plowing the soil. Plowing is done with a plow. The plow is installed on a walk-behind tractor thanks to a universal hitch via the S-20 bracket and the S-13 beam. Reversible plow

For easier and better plowing, you can purchase a reversible plow. Its locking device allows the canopy to quickly and easily change plowing direction.

For working with a conventional and reversible plow there is a support wheel, which can also work with a weeder. Also for the Salyut 5L-6.5 there is a hiller - a canopy that hills up and prepares a furrow for planting potatoes. Its shape resembles a plow, although its functions are somewhat limited. By the way, it is connected to the walk-behind tractor in the same way - through the S-20 bracket and the S-13 beam in a universal hitch. Disc hiller

You can also attach a disc hiller to the walk-behind tractor. He hills up the potatoes and cultivates the soil between the rows. It also makes the necessary ridges, as it can adjust the width of the ground coverage, height and adjust the angle of operation of the disks. This canopy has two discs, each 400 mm in diameter.

The disk hiller has a more advanced version - the reinforced disk hiller. The functions are the same as in the previous version, the diameter is the same, however, the disks of this version are made of more durable steel.

Potato planter attachments

To plant potatoes you will need a potato planter. The hopper of such a unit can hold from 40 to 50 kg of tubers. Plants tubers from 40 to 60 mm in diameter.

The approximate weight of the potato planter for Salyut 5L-6.5 is 41 kg. The distance between planted tubers may vary from one canopy to another. In some it is 190-280 mm, in others it is from 250 to 355 mm. If you have a small area, you can buy a small-sized single-row canopy KS-1. Flat cutter with cultivator

Let's say you need to sow a plot of wheat. A flat cutter with a cultivator is perfect for this. It is needed for weeding the soil, leveling it and preparing it for sowing.

Previously, we used a hiller and planted our garden with potatoes. Now we need to somehow get rid of the weeds. Before this we talked about a flat cutter with a cultivator. And now we can get by with a regular flat cutter. Both flat cutters are attached to the walk-behind tractor via a universal hitch. Potato digger for walk-behind tractor

The planted potatoes will eventually help the digger to dig up the potatoes. The canopy is attached to the walk-behind tractor via a universal hitch, which we will look at later.

So, a universal hitch. It acts as an intermediary in connecting a number of equipment with the Salyut 5L-6.5 walk-behind tractor. Attaches a plow, support wheel, hiller, potato digger and flat cutter. Uses the S-13 beam and the S-20 bracket. If you need to effectively hill up the soil or weed, you can use two hillers or undercuts. To secure them, use a frame with two locks. Wheels and lugs for walk-behind tractor

You can buy PSDU axle shafts for your Salyut 5. There are lugs for attaching to the walk-behind tractor and help to create row spacing of the required width. There is another version of this part - a semi-differential axle shaft. Its advantage is that it not only digs between rows as we need, but also regulates the turn of the walk-behind tractor.

Let's look at different wheels with lugs. You can buy wheels 500x100 mm. They can be an alternative to hiller, flat cutter and potato digger because they perform their functions. All walk-behind tractors of the Salyut family are approximately the same, and this canopy, in addition to the Salyut 5L-6.5, is also attached to the Salyut 5BS-6.5, Salyut 5R-6, and Salyut 5BS-1.

Wheels with lugs 500x200 mm are used when working with a plow. There is also an advanced version of these wheels with sand-filled weights - then the plow goes deeper into the ground. And wheels 700x130 mm are used in the work of the hiller, disk hiller, flat cutter and potato digger.

You can also buy weights for them. In addition, the wheel size is 800x110. All sizes of lug wheels fit all specified Salyut models.

Specialized attachments for the Salyut walk-behind tractor

There are also attachments for walk-behind tractors of the Salyut family, which we have not yet described.

How to attach

Attaching attachments to the Salute walk-behind tractor is quite simple if you know the principle of the unit’s design itself. For example, the plow and hillers are connected to the walk-behind tractor through the S-13 beam and the S-20 bracket, through a universal hitch for the walk-behind tractor.

Connecting a rotary mower will be slightly different. We connect it to the power take-off shaft of the Salute walk-behind tractor by tensioning the belt. The same manipulations are needed to connect the walk-behind tractor with the snow blower.
