Description and purpose

SMB 6.5 570 is a machine in the budget segment, one of the most affordable on the domestic market. This snow blower takes into account all the parameters and functions that may be needed in harsh climatic conditions. This snow blower is designed for snow removal work in small, medium and large areas, and for this it has extensive potential and high traction characteristics. As you know, the most important thing for a snow blower is torque, not maximum power output. The traction performance of the SMB 6.5 570 model is at a decent level, and this is noticeable in its capabilities in household, municipal and agricultural applications. The equipment effectively removes snow from courtyards, city streets and roadways, as well as industrial and football grounds, areas of restaurants, hotels, cafes and other public institutions. In addition, the equipment is ideal for removing snow in hard-to-reach areas - for example, along the walls of houses and fences, around benches, country and garden plots, etc.

Assembly

Due to the fact that snow blowers for the Neva walk-behind tractor have similar design features , they are connected to the walk-behind tractor in a similar way.

The entire joining process will look like this:

• There is a protective pin on the trailer unit of the walk-behind tractor, which must be removed for further aggregation of the attachments.
• Attach the hitch to the body of the snow blower with two bolts.
• Insert the hitch into the trailer bracket located on the walk-behind tractor. Secure in the same way - attach with two bolts.
• There is a special protection on the power take-off pulley of the walk-behind tractor that needs to be removed. We install the V-belt drive of the snow blower.
• Next, you need to put the belt tension roller, as well as the drive and driven pulleys of the walk-behind tractor in one position.
• Install the pulley protection in its original place.
• Using the lever located on the snow blower body, you should adjust the belt tension.
• The unit is completely ready for use.

process does not take a very long period of time if everything is done in the correct sequence. At the same time, the installation is carried out once, after which you can use the snow blower throughout the winter.

With the onset of the summer season, the snow blower can be removed from the walk-behind tractor so that it can be used for work on the site.

Features of the device and operation

1. The SMB 6.5 570 snow blower is equipped with a gasoline engine that powers all working parts. The power of the power plant is 6.5 horsepower. We also note the good traction characteristics of the unit, which make it possible to fully reveal the potential of the vehicle’s off-road wheeled chassis. The engine is equipped with a manual starter, which ensures uninterrupted and quick starting of the engine at any time of the year.
2. The machine is equipped with a metal bucket, inside of which there is a built-in auger shaft - the main working mechanism for removing snow. The bucket is wide enough to provide a wider area for snow removal in one pass. The metal coating protects against external damage and preserves the appearance of the product for a long time.
3. The metal shaft is responsible for gripping with screw parts located in the central part of the shaft. These elements shovel snowdrifts closer to the middle. The snow is captured, then crushed and goes into the outlet chute, and then thrown out through the outlet chute, made in the form of a metal pipe. Snow is thrown in a given direction. The direction, in turn, is specified by the user (forward or sideways). When directed forward, the greatest snow throw distance is achieved.
4. The role of the chassis of the Energoprom SMB 6.5 570 snow blower is performed by wheels with a metal disk and rubber tires. The wheels have deep tire tread, allowing you to overcome any unevenness on a slippery surface, without any slipping, slipping or other delays. Thus, it is possible to achieve ideal grip on snow.
5. The machine is equipped with ergonomic handles that can be adjusted in height. By choosing the ideal position based on your own height, there will be no inconvenience when performing maneuvers - turns or turns.
6. The rotor element is an auxiliary working element of the SMB 6.5 570 snow blower, which is a wheel with blades that promotes a higher speed of snow removal.
7. The model under consideration is easy to use, due to the primitive controls located at hand. You don’t have to reach for them, and this allows you to operate the car comfortably. This may explain the high popularity of the snow blower among novice users who need the most easy-to-use snow removal device.
8. The SMB 6.5 570 snow blower can additionally be equipped with a differential lock function to lock one of the wheels for maneuvering almost in one place. This significantly increases maneuverability, which is very important when working in difficult to reach conditions.
9. The following faults are most typical for the SMB 6.5 570 snow blower:

• The keys broke. This is the most common failure under severe operating conditions. Since the shear bolt is made of thin metal, it quickly deforms. In this regard, we must remember that a shear bolt is an important consumable that must be stocked up in advance - for example, at the beginning of the winter season, or even better in the fall. It is not recommended to replace shear bolts with regular bolts, as this may result in permanent failure of the snow blower. After all, keys are a kind of fuses that protect important elements - the rotor mechanism, engine and other units.
• The belts broke. This is a common phenomenon that you will have to deal with constantly if you neglect regular maintenance. Belts are also a common consumable item that must be purchased in advance. In any case, a spare belt is needed, which the owner should have in stock, and immediately after purchasing the snow blower. The fact is that after some time it may break off - for example, if you overdo it and load the machine. This applies not only to the drive belt, but also to the auger belt.
• The friction disc is broken. The purpose of the friction ring is to ensure movement of the entire wheelbase. When the ring rotates, it transmits motion under the influence of gears. The traction is transmitted to the wheels, which begin to rotate. If you suddenly increase the load on the snow blower, there is a high probability of the friction ring breaking, after which the soft aluminum friction disc may fail. To avoid this problem and adapt the machine to variable loads, it is necessary to run-in the device.

Running in the SMB 6.5 570 snow blower is a necessary procedure to extend the life of the machine. Let's look at this procedure step by step:

• You need to start by processing dry and shallow snow. Its height should not exceed the diameter of the auger. For such snow, it is best to use maximum gear so that the friction disc wears less. So, let's start the snow blower.
• You need to wait 5-10 minutes until the engine warms up
• We start the auger
• We turn on the maximum gear, which was mentioned above. Then we use the ergonomic handles and set the required direction for the snow blower. We move the machine forward to gradually clear the snow
• So, 20 minutes have passed, and now we need to make sure that the condition of the car is in perfect order. To do this, turn off the engine, wait for the augers to stop completely and check the gearbox by touch. If the gearbox is too hot, this indicates a technical problem, which will be repaired at the dealership.
• If the gearbox is cold, then nothing prevents you from continuing the break-in. We must try to complete it within one hour. During this time, it is necessary to periodically turn off the wheel drive, actively work with the differential lock, and also regularly change gears. This will allow the machine to be adapted to different loads.
• At the end of the snow removal procedures, the gearbox must be checked again. This time it should be slightly warm. However, if this component is so hot that it cannot be touched, then this is due to the failure of the brass gears, which must be urgently replaced.
• Using a spatula, you need to thoroughly clean the working parts so that ice does not form. Regularly clearing snow from working components will always keep the machine in working condition.

Snow removal equipment for Neva walk-behind tractors

Snow removal equipment for the Neva walk-behind tractor has long become an indispensable assistant in everyday life.
Since the land requires not only summer cultivation, but also maintenance in the winter. You can, of course, remove snow with a good old shovel, but the cost of physical labor in this case is simply enormous. Therefore, people came up with a technique that would help with this. It was known even during the times of the USSR. The Neva is considered one of the best walk-behind tractors since those times. This company does not stand still and is constantly developing, thanks to which it maintains a leading position in the market today.

Snow blower SMB "NEVA"

A distinctive feature is the large number of compatible attachments. One of them is the SMB “Neva” snow blower.

Design of the Neva snow blower:

• Metal body;
• Snow bucket
• Retraction
• Control panel and handle

The entire structure is metal. In front there is a special bucket that shovels snow. Then a special screw mechanism directs it into the discharge chute.

The auger is an axis with toothed elements. These elements make the snow looser and easier to throw.

Also, a plow blade for a walk-behind tractor can sometimes be used for snow removal, but of course it cannot be compared with a snow blower

NNM mounted walk-behind blade

A person can adjust the direction of snow ejection through the chute manually. This allows you to direct the thrown snow in the desired direction.

There are plastic skids installed at the bottom of the bucket. Thanks to this, the running of the snow blower becomes smoother and easier.

Reviews

• Alexey, Nizhny Novgorod region. I liked the 6.5 570 model, but only because it was cheap to operate. Low cost of ownership in our realities decides everything, even low quality workmanship. There is no reliability at all, something constantly needs to be lubricated, tweaked, modified. I’m even surprised that the engine overheats, and at a temperature of minus 20 degrees. The traction properties of the tires are mediocre, the handle is uncomfortable and the controls are unclear. The car looks stylish and beautiful, I have no complaints about the design. But performance and reliability leave much to be desired. This device is only suitable for cleaning small snowdrifts and snowy areas. The snow blower is cheap to maintain and consumes 92 gasoline of any quality.
• Yuri, St. Petersburg. Energoprom 6.5 570 is a simple snow blower, easy to maintain and long-term operation. I have owned the car for two years now, and now it is the third winter season that I have been using this device. The shortcomings are generally typical for budget vehicles, I’m not even surprised - a noisy engine, always freezing working parts that need to be constantly lubricated, and mediocre tires. I immediately replaced them with more off-road tires, and that was one less problem. I will continue to refine it further, and will gradually rid the device of factory problems.
