Minitractor Bulat-120 characteristics, attachments, video, price and owner reviews

The Bulat-120 minitractor is, oddly enough, a Chinese-made machine produced by the Mahindra Yueda Tractor Company Ltd (owned by Jinma).

In the segment of Chinese compact special equipment, Bulat mini tractors are more popular than other similar models. According to the owners, this equipment is highly reliable and can completely pay for itself in a fairly short time.

The great popularity of the Bulat-120 minitractor is due to its affordable price and excellent performance characteristics. This model has increased resistance to temperature influences, which allows it to be used even in cold weather and climate conditions. The equipment has several European Union certificates and international recognition.

In terms of appearance, the model resembles walk-behind tractors, to which two more deployed wheels have been added. But in fact, the car has a lot of similarities with them, including the presence of a manual accelerator, a drum brake and a locked differential on the drive axle. The difference between the mini-tractor is the different functioning of the gearbox and steering mechanism.

Motor tractor Bulat T-150

This model is extremely similar to the Bulat-120, but has an improved engine and increased power. Now the owner of such a unit has 15 horsepower at his disposal.

Specifications:

Weight – 600 kg.

The object has a very advantageous manual control (steering), a comfortable seat for the back, as well as a wide selection of additional equipment. Bulat-T150 was created to perform procedures for plowing the soil, sowing a variety of crops, transporting goods, cleaning and tidying up areas. The mini tractor is distinguished by its high mobility.

Device Features

The main features of the Bulat-120 minitractor are:

Increased traction force.
Improved efficiency.
Availability of a wide range of additional mounted and trailed equipment.
Wide functionality.
Easy operation and maintenance.

Perhaps the main difference from a walk-behind tractor is that the mini-tractor has a comfortable cabin, the ability to operate with attachments, as well as additional wheels. In order to reduce the cost and simplify the design of the machine, a V-belt drive located horizontally was used. One drawback, although not significant, is the low ground clearance, which is why you need to be as careful as possible when working, since any road obstacles can significantly damage the entire suspension.

In its model range, this model is the least powerful, so the vehicle has exclusively rear-wheel drive. Connecting all-wheel drive due to lack of power is unfortunately impossible.

A special drive is installed in the hydraulic system of the Bulat-120 machine, which serves for the operation of mounted plows, potato diggers, haymowers, shovels, screw splitters, seeders, milling units and many other units. Thanks to the hydraulics used, the tractor is able to cope even with heavy agricultural work.

The standard equipment of the mini-tractor is equipped with a mounted single-body or double-body plow and a rotary cutter. Optionally, you can choose any other attachments. It should be noted that the machine is quite effective when working with various trailers, since the output traction force is quite sufficient to transport any cargo whose weight does not exceed 1000 kilograms. The model can transport them both short and long distances.

Reliability

The power plant is equipped with a liquid cooling system, which ensures uninterrupted operation in fairly hot climates. Also, thanks to it, you can use a mini-tractor under fairly high loads for a long time.

Repair features

The Bulat-120 minitractor is easy to maintain. The owner can independently eliminate any malfunctions that arise during operation. The most important components and mechanisms are located close to each other, which facilitates the process of repair and replacement. The same applies to consumable items, which are the fuel, air and oil filters.

History of creation

The sonorous name “Bulat-120” was received from the Chinese manufacturer, Mahindra Yueda Tractor Company Ltd (Jinma), which has been producing this mini tractor for the Russian market since 2013.
