A trailer for the Neva walk-behind tractor, produced in St. Petersburg, will turn a motorized agricultural machine into a full-fledged transport. Such units are designed to transport cargo and perform other agricultural, economic and public works within the villages. Using a small vehicle, they transport goods (fertilizers, clay, sand, crops from the fields, building materials). This makes them popular and in demand. Carts have different load capacities. According to this and other parameters, they are divided into types.
Types of trolleys for the Neva walk-behind tractor
During the operation of Neva walk-behind tractors, four types of trolleys of this trademark emerged . They have certain features:
- AMP single-axle dump truck.
- The chassis trolley is biaxial.
- TPM trailer (modernized).
- Model TPM-M.
Before you buy a trailer for the Neva walk-behind tractor, you need to accurately determine the purpose for which it is being purchased. The main selection parameters are:
- The proportion between the trailer's carrying capacity and the power of the walk-behind tractor, the indicators of which must correspond to each other.
- Motorized units of the Neva line, except for heavy-weight modifications, are endowed with a power of 5.5-7.5 hp.
- For these parameters of motorized units, bodies capable of transporting 250-500 kg are recommended.
- To transport particularly heavy loads, you can use carts carrying up to a thousand kilograms.
A trailer for a walk-behind tractor allows you to use it for transporting goods.
Among the trailers that are made for the adapter, it is better to choose APM:
- This equipment transports cargo weighing up to 250 kg.
- It is equipped with pneumatic tires, thanks to which shaking during driving is not felt.
The ground clearance of 18 cm will not work on difficult roads. Any cart can transport hay, but for heavy loads (bricks, sand, cement) it is better to use the “VRM3”, which is capable of transporting 400 kg. It can easily deliver heavy equipment for field work to your garden plot or dacha. An adapter is not needed for it, since it is attached directly to the gearbox shafts.
Neva brand trolleys have a universal coupling that will allow them to connect to many self-propelled mechanisms of any brand.
How to make a trailer for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands?
By design, bodies are divided into:
- Solid. The peculiarity of their design is the tight, fixed connection between the bottom and walls.
- Body with folding sides. A special feature of this device is the ability to transport large-sized cargo.
- Dump body. This body will cope with unloading work perfectly.
Preparation of a drawing of a trailer for a walk-behind tractor
What size should a homemade trailer for a walk-behind tractor be:
- If you have a light type of walk-behind tractor, then the width of the trailer should be 1 m, and the length should be 0.85 - 1.15 m. The load capacity of such a trailer is about 300 kg.
- If you have a walk-behind tractor with a power higher than 5 hp. s., then the following dimensions will be: width - 1 m, length - 1.4 - 1.5 m.
- For heavy units, a trailer with a width of 1.2 m and a length of 2 - 3 m is suitable. They are often biaxial.
Next, you need to create your own drawings and select the dimensions of the trailer you need. Only its precise design will allow you to successfully create a structure that will serve for many years. Here is an example of a drawing of such a body.
Body frame drawing
How to make a trailer for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands - assembly steps
- For a regular frame we only need 2 tubes and wheels on bearings. We can directly attach the body itself to the finished frame. In order to soften the shaking on potholes, you just need to install a spring.
- We assemble a homemade walk-behind trailer. To begin with, an additional one is attached to the main pipe, which will act as an axis. Then, on the other side, a hitch for the walk-behind tractor trailer is mounted. We weld hubs to the ends of the axial tube. Next, we secure the wheels and secure the parking stop. We attach the body, fenders and seat.
- The body is best made of wood or metal.
- Particular attention should be paid to the trailer hub; it must be strong and reliable.
How to make brakes on a trailer for a walk-behind tractor?
In order to install homemade brakes on the body and ensure a safe ride on a walk-behind tractor, you should acquire several parts for its design:
- Brake pads from a motorcycle.
- Motorcycle brake drum.
- Spokes from a motorcycle wheel.
- It is better to install the brake on both wheels. This will allow the equipment to effectively brake.
Stages of work:
- We remove the rods and cables from the disk and clean it.
- We put machined drums on the hubs and secure them at the back.
- The free space that has formed between the ribs of the drums must be wrapped with metal wire.
- We place the collapsible disk on the axle and secure it with bushings.
- We weld a piece of metal onto the axle to prevent the disc from moving.
- We mount the cables on the drums and pull them to the control.
- The control system may be a lever with a gear.
In principle, having a good diagram with accurate calculations, you can easily design both a single-axle and a two-axle dump body yourself. The main thing is to know how to do it and follow all instructions. By making this equipment yourself, you will find an incredible assistant for working on sites.
Technical features of a single-axle trailed trolley for the AMP adapter
The cart has one axle on which it is mounted. Its design is extremely simple, practical, and reliable:
- The trailer is designed to be used in conjunction with a motorized unit.
- This small vehicle transports cargo weighing no more than 250 kg.
- The body, whose tires are pneumatic, is subject to very little vibration and shaking while driving on uneven surfaces.
The width of the bogie track is 870 mm, and the ground clearance of the body is 180 mm. The dimensions of this modification are:
- length – 150 cm;
- weight – 56 kg;
- width – 72 cm;
- height – 96 cm.
The cart will be sold disassembled, accompanied by instructions for caring for the equipment. Assembling the cart is easy. The procedure takes no more than ten minutes. If problems arise, the solution is popular and is detailed in the operating instructions included with the product. If there is a need to transport the mechanism, it can also be easily disassembled. The kit comes with instructions for caring for the body.
Characteristics of a two-axle ATM trailed to an adapter
The cart for the Neva walk-behind tractor is a device in the form of a frame and two attached axles. The main difference from the single-axle model is that the cart has no bottom. It is not suitable for transporting bulk materials. It does not have a bottom. This situation can be corrected by making a plywood or metal bottom. In addition, if necessary, the length of the sheet can be changed. The advantage of the modification is a load capacity of five hundred kilograms, which is 2 times higher than that of single-axle trailers
. It has the following dimensions:
- adjustable length – 190-250 cm;
- width – 41.5 cm;
- height - 110 cm.
Two-axle cart
Transport moves at speeds reaching twelve kilometers per hour. The ground clearance is 18 cm, and the track is 99 cm. The body has pneumatic tires. It is distinguished by high maneuverability. The body is equipped with sides and a Euro pallet. When purchasing the product, a manual for operating a motorized agricultural machine is included.
We select materials
For a tow hitch to the Neva walk-behind tractor, both wood and iron are well suited; you can also use materials that remain after construction work.
The frame for the device is assembled from two iron pipes and wheels connected by bearings. The body is bolted to the finished frame. For greater reliability, stiffening ribs and corners with metal inserts must be attached to the trailer. If desired, the sides can open on all sides or only on one side, optimally the rear. You can also make more complex models of trolleys for the Neva walk-behind tractor with your own hands. Opting for a triple hitch and taller wheels results in a completely different model. A little time and desire to make such an assistant yourself will create a unique cart model for the Neva walk-behind tractor.
What are APM adapters?
Any work on dachas and areas of country houses requires a lot of physical effort. It is difficult to make it lighter, faster, easier and simpler without special mechanisms. One of them is motorized units equipped with adapters of this type. These units help you get the job done, doing it with convenience and comfort. An adapter is an axle that has wheels and a seat attached to it. The trailer is then attached to it. The adapter is also used for other mounted units. With the adapter, the monoblock resembles a mini-tractor, to which it is inferior in power, but gains in fuel consumption. Thanks to the versatility of the adapter, the owner receives certain benefits from this unit.
