Features of the patriot Kaluga 7 hp petrol walk-behind tractor: technical specifications, reviews, prices

Energoprom MB 800 is a Russian walk-behind tractor, one of the most productive in its class. This model will be a worthy assistant when processing various types of soil. The walk-behind tractor has proven itself in many areas, and is also widely in demand in gardening, agriculture, farming and other economic sectors. In addition, the technology’s great potential is also used in the public utilities sector. Energoprom MB 800 is a professional equipment that is in demand in Russia and the CIS countries.

General information, purpose and design features

The walk-behind tractor uses mainly Chinese parts. But this does not mean that there may be problems with the reliability of the device. Quite the contrary, the walk-behind tractor has a good margin of safety, which is confirmed by reviews from real owners of the equipment. The walk-behind tractor has a fairly simple design, which is highly maintainable.

The range of tasks of the Energoprom MB-800 walk-behind tractor is quite extensive. The equipment is capable of performing work related to cultivation, hilling, plowing and planting root crops. In addition, if you have special equipment, it is possible to transport heavy loads, or use the machine as a water pump. In addition, many owners prefer to install dirt hooks to increase the stability of their equipment off-road. In addition, hooks and weights help well off-road or when cultivating soil to great depths.

Among other design elements of the Energoprom MB-800 walk-behind tractor, we note the possibility of adjusting the steering wheel - in height and horizontally. This ensures ease of use, and thereby increases productivity, as the driver is less tired. The steering wheel can be rotated a maximum of 360 degrees. Thanks to this, there should be no problems with maneuverability and quickly passing obstacles.

The walk-behind tractor is equipped with a power take-off shaft, which in the model under consideration is a three-groove pulley. This device supports the installation of a wide variety of equipment that will satisfy the needs of any owner. The good news is that the manufacturer has provided the ability to install only certain options that you can choose at your discretion.

Energoprom MB-800 is equipped with a mechanical transmission that allows you to move forward and backward. Also worthy of special attention are the hardened cutters, which are already included in the basic package. They are an indispensable device for those who often use equipment on heavy soils, as well as when processing virgin soil. In addition, as standard equipment, the owner will find pneumatic wheels that have outstanding performance when driving off-road. The wheels have a deep tread with a special pattern. By the way, the pattern is designed in such a way that the tread does not become clogged with dirt, which is very important when driving on dry ground.

Installing a trailer significantly expands the potential of the walk-behind tractor and turns it into a full-fledged mini-tractor. The manufacturer recommends loading the trailer no more than 500 kg.

To increase interest in the model, as well as improve competitiveness and preserve the consumer properties of the walk-behind tractor, the manufacturer endowed the walk-behind tractor with a universal design. Moreover, it is so universal that even the heaviest attachments from other walk-behind tractors can be installed on the machine. In particular, practice has shown that the parts and attachments for the Neva and Cascade walk-behind tractors are best suited for the walk-behind tractor.

The performance of the Energoprom MB-800 walk-behind tractor is ensured by the imported Shinerey power unit, which is almost a complete analogue of the Japanese engine from Honda and Lifan. The power plant is equipped with a durable crankshaft. It was also possible to improve the outflow of exhaust gases - largely due to the increase in the exhaust window of the cylinder. This feature made it possible to increase peak power.

Specifications

The Patriot “Kaluga” walk-behind tractor is designed quite simply, which is why it is absolutely easy to maintain and very rarely breaks down. The unit consists of a particularly durable, but at the same time fairly light frame, made in a classic style. It is the frame that is responsible for the overall rigidity of the structure and ensures the ability of the walk-behind tractor to operate in difficult terrain and heavy soil. The frame is a kind of skeleton of the machine and is intended for fastening the main components, assemblies and attachments.

The next important mechanism in the design of the walk-behind tractor is the P170FC gasoline engine with a power of 7 hp. pp., air-cooled and transistor-magnetic ignition type.

A special built-in sensor monitors the oil level and does not allow the engine to start if it is low or leaking. There is also an air filter. The engine displacement is 208 cubic centimeters, and the maximum torque reaches 14 N/m. Gasoline consumption is about 1.6 l/hour with a fuel tank volume of 3.6 liters.

The next significant component is the cast iron gearbox, which has a chain design, and as practice shows, it is also the most reliable. In the event of a malfunction, you can repair such a device yourself, using a minimal set of tools. The wheels of the walk-behind tractor have a diameter of 410 mm, are equipped with a powerful tread and are considered very passable. The only disadvantage of a deep tread, as already noted, is the likelihood of dirt sticking to clay areas and black soils after rain. The machine has a trailer unit and can be used as a self-propelled device to move a cart or any other trailer.

The Kaluga walk-behind tractor has fairly compact dimensions: the length and height of the machine are 85 cm with a width of 39 cm. As standard, the device weighs 73 kg and is capable of transporting about 400 kg of cargo at a time.

Attachments

The walk-behind tractor has a rich set of various devices for various needs. The technology has been on the market for a long time. Over several years, sales statistics have been generated, referring to which we can highlight the most popular mounted elements for the Energoprom MB-800 model:

• Hiller
• Ground hook
• Plow
• Seeder
• Rotary mower
• Water pump
• Hiller
• Trailer, cart
• Adapter with seat
• Metal wheels
• Additional cutters

As you can see, the potential of the walk-behind tractor is practically unlimited. Despite its low cost, the machine will please any undemanding farmer who urgently needs a productive and inexpensive walk-behind tractor.

Design and principle of operation

The operating principle of the Patriot walk-behind tractor is as follows: through a disc (belt) clutch, torque is transmitted from the crankshaft of the power plant to the drive shaft of the gearbox. The gearbox, through a chain or worm gear, transmits rotation to the shaft of the wheels (mills) and the power take-off shaft for additional equipment.

The controls (on the left side of the handle there is a gas handle, on the right side there is a clutch lever, and there is also a stop button) allow you to adjust the speed of the walk-behind tractor.

Distinctive features:

• chain-type transmission (allows for high performance);
• collapsible gearbox (guarantees durability, provides the opportunity for independent maintenance and repair);
• the gearbox housing is made of aluminum (absorbs vibrations, as a result its operation is less noisy);
• The steering system and the presence of reverse gear provide high maneuverability;
• For comfortable operation, dismantled wings and headlight are provided;

The most important distinguishing feature of Patriot brand products is a very large selection of walk-behind tractors. The company offers models with different configurations and their own characteristics, with gasoline and diesel engines of different power.

Run-in

Energoprom MB-800, like any other mechanism, needs timely maintenance. And yet, we must admit that the technology has proven itself to be reliable. The device demonstrates good durability even in the most difficult conditions. Moreover, the technology is resistant to extreme temperature changes. However, despite the consistently high reliability, the walk-behind tractor will sooner or later begin to break down. Defects usually occur after several years of intensive use. To reduce the occurrence of various technical problems, the manufacturer recommends first running in the product, and then proceeding to its full use.

We can say that running in is the key to the reliability of the walk-behind tractor for several years to come. During this procedure, internal parts are ground in and adapted to local climatic conditions. As a result, the walk-behind tractor itself adapts to the conditions in which it will be used. The running-in procedure consists of the following steps:

• Checking the oil and fuel in the engine, adding fluid and replacing other consumables if necessary
• During the first start of the engine, it is advisable to provide it with idle speed, which must be gradually increased to maximum speed. In this operating mode, the engine should run for at least 30-40 minutes, after which you can proceed to the next stage
• Operating a walk-behind tractor on a cultivated surface involves cultivating the soil, including cultivating, planting and digging up root crops, cleaning areas, hilling, pumping water, transporting goods, forming beds, etc. As you can see, during the running-in period you can perform various works with the soil , but it is important not to overload the walk-behind tractor. For example, when transporting goods, the maximum load capacity of a walk-behind tractor in normal mode can reach 500-600 kg, and in gentle mode (during break-in) - no more than 250-300 kg
• During break-in, it is necessary from time to time to pay attention to the condition of the node connections, the operation of the chassis, off-road capabilities, as well as possible deficiencies in handling and the gear shift mechanism. In other words, at this stage the owner is faced with the task of assessing the potential and capabilities of the walk-behind tractor, as well as its reliability.
• The duration of the run-in is usually 10-15 hours. Upon completion, it is advisable to re-inspect the device and refill with fuel and oil.

Owner reviews

• Daniil, Magnitogorsk. I liked the walk-behind tractor. I use it 8 hours a day. One refill is approximately enough. By the way, I fill up with 92 gasoline and have no problems starting. I've been using it regularly for two years. At the time of purchase, this model was the cheapest in its class. I must say that for such a price it’s a sin to complain about anything at all. The technology is practically free. There is enough power, the engine is moderately high-torque and productive, together with soil hooks you can process even virgin soil and knead other heavy soils. It’s clear that the walk-behind tractor is assembled from cheap parts that are almost disposable. But this minus is compensated by cheap spare parts and a simple design. I repair the walk-behind tractor myself.
• Alexey, Tambov. I regretted spending 20 thousand on this miracle. Breakdowns are a dime a dozen, especially small ones, which cause even more headaches than major defects. In cold weather, the car starts poorly, the gearbox does not turn on clearly, and under heavy load the engine begins to vibrate.
• Oleg, Krasnoyarsk. I urgently needed some working equipment to clear the area of ​​snow. A machine that costs 20 thousand rubles copes surprisingly well with snowdrifts. In addition, the walk-behind tractor has never dug anywhere or sat on its belly - largely thanks to the wide pneumatic wheels. The tires are thick and toothy, like a full-fledged mini-tractor. In the third year of operation, breakdowns became more frequent. The gearbox jams, the gears are difficult to engage, especially reverse. When driving uphill, the engine often stalls, in the end you have to start it again, and this takes time.
• Yaroslav, Kirov. The Energoprom MB-800 model is a worthy replacement for a bulky cultivator. I've been looking for a replacement for a long time. Energoprom turned out to be not only more maneuverable and easier to operate, but also capable of cultivating the soil quite quickly. Consumes up to 2 liters per hour.
• Vladislav, Irkutsk. I got the car from my father and have been using it for five years now. The equipment has proven itself to be unpretentious and reliable. The walk-behind tractor is assembled according to the simplest principle, and at first glance there is nothing to break. But cheap parts wear out quickly and no longer provide the same potential as before. Energoprom MB-800 produces an honest 8 horsepower, and consumes within 1-3 liters based on the load.

Features of using a walk-behind tractor

All walk-behind tractors are adapted for the use of AI gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or 95. Diesel models, accordingly, use any diesel fuel. It is recommended to use EXPERT SAE 10W-40 or SPECIFIC SAE 5W-30 as engine oil, and Patriot HYPOID 80W85 transmission oil for the gearbox.

Expert SAE 10W-40 Oil HYPOID 80W85 Oil SPECIFIC SAE 5W-30 Patriot Supreme HD SAE 30 4T Oil

It is advisable to change the oil in the engine every 100 hours of operation, and in the gearbox every 50 hours. It is necessary to fill as much as indicated in the instructions. Underfilling threatens to shut down the engine, and overfilling will cause increased lubricant consumption.

Regular maintenance will extend the life of the walk-behind tractor, so in addition to daily inspection, adhere to the maintenance plan indicated in the instructions.

Important! Run-in is mandatory before starting operation. This will help the parts break in and extend the life of the power unit.

Run-in

Before the initial start of the walk-behind tractor, it is necessary to carry out a run-in, which does not take much time. However, it must be done following these steps:

1. Turn on the engine and leave it running for 30 minutes. It should work smoothly and quietly, without extraneous noise or interruptions.
2. After 30 minutes, perform a short-term gas release.
3. After the break-in is completed, all used oil must be drained and new oil must be added.
4. Check the unit for leaks.
5. The walk-behind tractor can be used at full capacity only after 20 hours of operation, when all parts have been sufficiently worn in.
