Model Centaur 2060 D
Centaur MB 2060 D is a fairly popular model of walk-behind tractor, which can significantly facilitate the work associated with servicing a small farm or summer cottage. The functionality of the equipment is not limited to soil cultivation and affects many operations.
The Centaur MB 2060 D model is designed on the basis of the Zirka IZ 105 diesel walk-behind tractor. The equipment is produced in China. Among the models of the Centaur brand, the MB 2060 D modification is most in demand among Russians. Special equipment is also very popular in Ukraine.
Centaur MB 2060 D is designed for increased loads and confidently copes with a variety of tasks on an area of up to 1.5 hectares. A multi-disc clutch and a reliable gear reducer guarantee a long service life and increased operating comfort. The model is equipped with a professional diesel unit that allows you to overcome any obstacles. In the basic configuration, the Centaur 2060D is equipped with 10-inch rubber wheels, providing excellent maneuverability. The walk-behind tractor is based on a frame on a strong wheelbase. The control is made in the form of two handles connected together. The steering wheel is adjustable in angle and height.
Special equipment can operate with gear switching, which is very convenient. The transmission of the Centaur 2060D walk-behind tractor includes 3 speeds (2 forward and 1 reverse). Thanks to this, it is possible to easily navigate difficult sections and turns. significant maneuverability is one of the main advantages of this model. again, the model has a power take-off shaft, which allows the use of a wide range of attachments. This allows you to use the walk-behind tractor for applying a variety of fertilizers to the soil, removing snow, pumping water, weeding, making hay and performing other operations.
The following additional equipment is used with the Centaur 2060D model:
- lugs - heavy iron wheels designed to improve traction with the ground;
- potato planting kit;
- plow;
- potato digger;
- mower (various modifications);
- trailer (with and without brake system);
- snow blower;
- blade shovel;
- water pump;
- additional cutters.
Production of the basic version of the Centaur 2060D has now been discontinued, as more advanced machines have appeared in the manufacturer's line. However, this model is still being sold.
Like most walk-behind tractors, the Centaur 2060D model requires preliminary running-in. This process involves performing several simple operations. After checking the oil level, the walk-behind tractor is refueled and the engine is started. In the first minutes, you should inspect the equipment for oil leaks. After 5-10 minutes of operation, you can increase the number of revolutions and try different gears. This is necessary for optimal running-in of the walk-behind tractor elements. At the final stage, the duration of which varies from 5 to 8 hours, operation is carried out with a variety of equipment. During this period, increased loads should not be given. Upon completion of the run-in, maintenance of the equipment should be performed.
Run-in
Before operation, the walk-behind tractor requires proper running-in. Essentially, this is working in a gentle mode - grinding in the main elements of the gearbox, engine, etc. The further operation of the walk-behind tractor depends on how competently it is carried out. Run-in stages in accordance with the operating instructions:
- Checking the compliance of the volumes of working fluids (oil, diesel).
- Work for 3-4 hours at a third of the maximum load.
- Drain the oil from the engine crankcase and gearbox and fill with new oil.
- Operate for 4 hours at 2/3 of maximum power.
The walk-behind tractor is ready for work, but do not overload it to the maximum without breaks. In order to avoid frequent malfunctions and ineffective downtime, it should be remembered that the key to a long life of a walk-behind tractor is its timely maintenance and compliance with the recommendations of the operating instructions.

Reviews
- I used the Centaur 2060 D walk-behind tractor for 4 seasons. The operating time of the equipment without refueling is impressive. Sometimes a full tank lasted for 9 hours, that is, a whole day of normal work. I can characterize the walk-behind tractor as very economical and reliable. The power take-off shaft significantly adds versatility to this model. For a small plot, Centaur 2060 D will be an ideal option. Before purchasing, I read reviews where some users complained about poor maneuverability due to the small number of gears. However, 2 forward gears and reverse were enough for me to work comfortably. The walk-behind tractor did an excellent job of cultivating the soil; I can’t point out any negative aspects.
- I would like to share my impressions of using the Centaur 2060 D walk-behind tractor. I liked the model right away. A compact and functional unit with a simple design and significant fuel efficiency will be an excellent option for a small site. For my 20 acres it was enough. Cultivating the soil with the Centaur 2060 D is a pleasure. The walk-behind tractor is very convenient to control. With a large number of weeds and weeds, the knives sometimes became clogged. This, perhaps, was the main drawback of the walk-behind tractor. True, there was a certain advantage here too - in this way it was possible to extract the weeds. Another disadvantage was the relatively small weight. The Centaur 2060 D confidently cultivated soft soil, but sometimes problems arose with heavy soil. There were no complaints about the quality of the walk-behind tractor.
- I bought a Centaur 2060 D walk-behind tractor in the fall of 2012. In the first season, I wasn’t able to really try out the equipment – I only managed to run it in. I have been using the device fully since the spring of 2013. During this time there were practically no negative aspects. I changed the oil twice and that's it. True, I don’t use the walk-behind tractor often - in the spring and autumn I completely cultivate a 15-acre garden. The walk-behind tractor does not perform any other functions. The Centaur 2060 D pleased us with its moderate fuel consumption and reasonable price. I consider the acquisition very successful.
- I recommend the Centaur 2060 D walk-behind tractor to everyone. I purchased it in 2010 and have been actively using it for almost 7 years. During this time, not a single serious breakdown or adjustment was made. I use the technique on a plot of 2 hectares. Besides her, I sometimes help my neighbors. I used the Centaur 2060 D several times on heavy virgin soil. The walk-behind tractor did an excellent job. True, some sections had to be passed several times. In terms of fuel consumption, the unit is incredibly economical - no more than 0.6 liters per hour of operation. With a trolley, the walk-behind tractor is capable of transporting up to 700-800 kg of cargo, which is very convenient. For rural areas, the Centaur 2060 D is simply ideal.
Advantages of a walk-behind tractor
- Thanks to the dry disc clutch, smooth movement and long-lasting operation of the walk-behind tractor are ensured.
- Easy starting with 1-2 starter pulls even at sub-zero temperatures.
- The presence of 2 forward and 1 reverse speeds allows you to set the optimal operating mode.
- A powerful gear-chain reducer transmits torque to the axle shafts as fully as possible, with virtually no losses. Thanks to its dismountable design, the gearbox is accessible for repair.
- Possibility of connecting active attachments using the power take-off shaft (direct output from the keyed engine).
Attachments
The equipment of the Centaur walk-behind tractor allows you to perform a lot of agricultural and other operations. The most commonly used are plows, seeders, milling cutters, cultivators, and hillers. In addition, more powerful models can be used in conjunction with a trailer as a transport vehicle (by installing an adapter seat) or additional labor.
A large selection of attachments makes it possible to perform almost all types of agricultural work, as well as perform a number of other operations. For example, irrigate the land using a mounted pump, transport loads on a single-axle trailer, mow grass using a rotary or segment mower, and clear snow.
