Maintenance of equipment by the company

Texas cultivator repair and equipment servicing are provided by specialized centers. The operating instructions list the addresses of repair shops. The warranty on the tool is valid for 3 years, so first of all you need to determine the location of the repair center and the possibility of service. This applies to the warranty part of the tool. You can add lubricant and replace the belt on the Texas cultivator in any workshop or on your own. Failures of equipment operating in difficult conditions are classified as follows:

• engine breakdown;
• automation failure;
• failure of mechanical components.

It is these problems that will require contacting a service center.

When buying a Texas cultivator, you need to stock up on branded gearbox lubricant and drive belts. It is easy to find the specifications of the components in the included manual. The numbers and letters of the marking indicate the size and profile of the belt. The designation TEXAS A 41 1/2 13Х1050Li reads, V profile belt with a height of 8 mm and a width of the wide part of 13 mm, reinforced with cord thread, length 1050 mm. The marking is on the wide part of the ring; it is indicated in the instructions for the Texas cultivator. The manual is translated into machine language, but the technical terms are clear.

In addition, the instructions must include the rules for preparing the cultivator for work and the frequency of changing engine oil. Please note that the first crankcase oil change is carried out after 5 hours of operation. You need to use the recommended fuel for work; it differs in different models.

Spare parts for the Texas cultivator are purchased at service centers. They will be delivered even if the model has been in use for a long time and has been discontinued.

About the manufacturer

The Texas company began its history in 1960, when the first representative office was opened in the Danish city of Odense. Andreas Petersen, the man who stood at the origins of the company, chose the production and subsequent sale of various garden equipment as his main activity.

Initially, the bias was towards the production of only cultivators and harvesting machines, but later the company’s specialists began to implement projects for the production of brush cutters, brush cutters, wood splitters and other gardening equipment.

The company even has a special department that deals exclusively with the design of future cultivators and other small-sized equipment. (We recommend reading about the heavy diesel walk-behind tractor rating of the best 2017).

Texas

We are talking not only about warranty service, but also about the provision of various spare parts even for those models that have already been discontinued. This is real care for the client, which is why more and more people are choosing a Danish company.

Characteristics of Texas cultivators

Manufacturers have provided for the production of equipment for various areas and processing depths. Some models cope well with garden beds, while others can lift fallow areas with heavy soil. At the same time, the range of mounted implements used increases the sector of equipment use.

If the cultivator digs into loose soil, reduce the gas, put the wheels in the middle position, and adjust the coulter.

Design features of Texas motor cultivators:

• The machine control panel is located on the steering wheel of a special design with a comfortable grip;
• lightweight rear console improves alignment and reduces weight;
• the exclusive frame made it possible to lower the center of gravity and make it easier to control the device;
• the engine is placed above the cutters, the unit has acquired stability;
• There is a front bumper to protect the engine and transport wheels.

Design changes to the Texas cultivator have added to its manufacturability. So, all devices have reverse, no effort is required to pull out a buried machine. Powerful cultivators cultivate a wide strip of dense soil to a depth of up to 30 cm. All machines have a chain drive and are equipped with reliable four-stroke engines. The disadvantage is increased noise during operation and burying the nose in soft soil.

You cannot use a cultivator when cultivating clearings after cutting down. The sabers will definitely break on the roots! The full load on the cutter can be given after running-in.

Varieties of cultivator models

A range of Texas equipment is divided according to the power of the units and the type of work performed.
The Hobby series, as the name implies, is used in small areas with light soil. Lightweight cultivators are indispensable for preparing beds for root crops, decorating flower beds and digging up greenhouse soil. Cultivator Texas Hobby 300 is small and bold. He will climb into any corner of the garden, cultivate the tree trunk, and cut the beds. The power supply is an American Briggs&Stratton four-stroke engine with a combustion chamber of 148 cm 3 and a power of 2.6 kW. The design uses a chain gearbox. The unit processes 38 cm to a depth of 18 cm. The device weighs 28 kg and costs 21 thousand rubles.

The Texas 500 Hobby series cultivator, with a proprietary TG 485 engine, has a power of 2.3 kW. The design uses a worm-type gearbox. Such a unit will carry out deep moldless loosening to a depth of 33 cm. The width of the processed strip is 50 cm. The set includes 6 reciprocating cutters. The cost of the device is 15 thousand rubles.

At the same time, the 500 V model of this series is equipped with a powerful American 4.2 kW motor. This Texas cultivator uses the following attachments:

Attachments

The performance of various garden, household and household work by Texas cultivators is ensured by a wide selection of attachments: hiller plows, adapters, rakes, harrows, blade shovels, wheels with pneumatic tires, metal wheels with lugs, brushes for garbage collection, transport platform carts, various options of cutters, aerators, mowers, hitches, weights.

• Milling cutters (saber and crow's feet) are used for cultivating all types of soil. They are made of heavy-duty steel that has been hardened. The number of knives on tillers can vary from 3 to 4.
• The main purpose of the trailed trolley is to transport bulk or piece goods with a carrying capacity of up to 500 kg. The trolley is connected to the walk-behind tractor using a hitch.
• The walk-behind tractor, coupled with the adapter, turns into a mini-tractor; the owner of the unit does all the work while sitting.
• Using a hitch, you can attach any attachment to the unit.
• Weighting agents allow you to increase the existing weight of the walk-behind tractor, thereby increasing the depth of cultivation. Weights are put on the walk-behind tractor shaft and directly on the wheels.

With the help of attachments (potato planter, potato digger and hiller), the Texas motor cultivator can plant and harvest, weed and hill up potatoes:

Components and attachments

Motor cultivators are durable. The functionality of some parts can be easily restored by replacing them.

For example:

• reverse gear;
• large pulley;
• gearbox;
• candles;
• knives.

These mechanisms wear out quickly with intensive use. Even more powerful equipment can be subject to natural aging processes, which directly affect such details as:

• pen;
• plow;
• wheels;
• sleeve;
• opener

If spare parts are purchased in a timely manner, equipment downtime can be avoided. The gardener will also find the following attachments useful in his work:

• hillers;
• plows;
• mowers;
• snow blowers;
• rake.

Operation and Maintenance

Run-in

To extend the life of Texas motor cultivators, reduce breakdowns and unproductive downtime, first of all, you should run in the machine. At the beginning of the break-in procedure, the engine should be idled, then gradually begin to work in a gentle mode - up to 50% of the load for 10-13 hours, various types of soil cultivation are allowed.

At the break-in stage, the main components and mechanisms of the machine are broken in, so you should pay attention to their functioning: the clarity of gear shifting, the condition of the moving parts of the structure, chassis, wheels, the presence of noise. Upon completion of the break-in, change the oil and perform a technical inspection of the cultivator again.

Fuel, oil

Gasoline cultivators Texas consume unleaded gasoline AI-92, fuel consumption is quite economical - 1 l/h, with increasing load, gasoline consumption may increase. The recommended oil grade is SAE 30.

User manual

Recommendations for the use of Texas motor cultivators are similar to the operating rules of other similar units; they are set out in detail in the instructions for each cultivator; we outline the basic requirements:

• You should thoroughly study the instructions and specific features of the model, its technical characteristics, especially methods for emergency stopping of the machine.
• The use of the cultivator for work that is not provided for in the instructions, or exceeding the maximum loads, is prohibited.
• It is prohibited for persons under 16 years of age to operate the cultivator, persons not familiar with the instructions, those in a sick state, or those under the influence of alcohol.
• When working, it is necessary to maintain a safe distance of 20 m from nearby people, animals, and property.
• A thorough inspection of the equipment should be performed before each use.
• Perform preventive maintenance as scheduled.

Basic faults

The most common failures of the cultivator motor and problems with the gearbox. Engine problems (won't start) can occur due to a clogged air filter, muffler, carburetor contamination, and spark plug combustion.

Noise in the gearbox occurs due to lack of oil, oil leakage - in this case, the seals will need to be replaced.

Significant vibration of the cultivator can be caused by improper installation of attachments. If the cutters stop rotating, the clutch cable may not be adjusted or the fasteners may have become loose.

The key to the longevity of any equipment is its proper operation. To extend the life of your assistant and avoid breakdowns, you should follow certain rules:

• It is necessary to make sure that the treated area is not littered with stones, metal objects, or pieces of brick.
• Care should be taken when working near trees to avoid the cutters becoming entangled in the roots. You can’t loosen the ground after cutting it down; the knives will definitely break on the roots.
• A proven method of prevention is to always have a small amount of gasoline in the fuel tank, this will help avoid rust and condensation.
• In case of malfunctions of the cultivator automation, it is highly recommended not to troubleshoot the problems yourself; it is wiser to use the services of specialized centers.

How to use?

The Texas technique is quite easy to use. Before starting the engine, you must carefully study the instructions. Do not use the machine in an area that is prohibited by the instructions. The area to be processed must be examined for the presence of foreign objects; under no circumstances should they fall under the cutters. The equipment requires regular inspection of its condition, adjustment of connections and tightening of bolts. Do not forget about changing the oil in the gearbox.

Walk-behind tractors should only be used during the day. Repair work must be carried out with the engine turned off and the machine parts stopped. Breakdowns of walk-behind tractors can occur for the following reasons:

• the treated area is littered with debris and stones;
• when working near trees;
• when parts fail.

In order to avoid unexpected breakdowns, it is worth taking preventive measures, as well as preparing the equipment for operation. To do this, the unit must run idle for some time, and then it should be tested on light soil. Another important measure is monitoring the presence of fuel in the tank. This procedure will eliminate rust and condensation.

Reviews

Anton:

“I have been using the Texas TX 602B cultivator for two years now. No complaints, very satisfied. I didn’t even expect that everything could work so smoothly. I changed the filter in a timely manner, and the car was back in service. The Briggs & Stratton engine is reliable.”

Valentin:

“Our Texas 534 cultivator was digging in, we saw in the video that the loads were getting caught. We tried it too, but it’s another matter, the work went as expected. Another time we tried placing three cutters on each side, and it got better. We are happy with the car, it is powerful and reliable. We do all the plowing in the spring. We transport loads in the fall during harvesting, 300 kg can be easily pulled.”

Basil:

“In our area, walk-behind tractors are more common. But, if the plot is small, 30-40 acres, then you can get by with a cultivator. The Texas 601 with the American Briggs engine has been running for two years now. 5.5 horses is enough power to easily do everything on the site without overworking too much. I have wanted such a unit for a long time, and now I don’t regret it. There were minor breakdowns, but the spare parts were inexpensive, I replaced them myself, everything was fine.”

What is a Texas walk-behind tractor?

The Texas walk-behind tractor is produced in Denmark and used all over the world. It is more convenient to treat a garden or vegetable plot with high-quality equipment for performing various tasks, which the Texas motor-cultivator does an excellent job of. It is easy to operate, store and repair.

The unit breaks down very rarely, but even if this happens, finding parts for a particular model will not be difficult. Attachments for hilling beds or harvesting are available in a wide range of agricultural equipment stores. Parts, lubricants and auxiliary tools for the Texas cultivator should be purchased from certified centers. You can repair equipment yourself or contact specialists.

Description of the Texas walk-behind tractor

It is necessary to consider the features that the Texas walk-behind tractor has. The company's devices are produced for work on land plots of various sizes with different types of soil. Using a motor cultivator, you can create harrows of the depth that a summer resident needs for planting, and carry out hilling in places where there are a lot of trees and shrubs. To increase the functionality of Texas equipment, the manufacturer produces a wide range of attachments. As a result, the summer resident gets the opportunity not only to dig up beds and plant root crops, but also to harvest crops, transport loads of varying weights, mow weeds and remove snow.

Among the features that distinguish the Texas motor-cultivator from similar equipment are the following:

1. The cultivator is very stable due to the fact that the engine was placed under the cutters by the developers.
2. To control the device, a special remote control has been created, which is located on the steering wheel, which has a comfortable grip.
3. The rear console is lightweight and has improved alignment, making it easy to control the machine on the field.
4. There is a front bumper installed at the front, which is necessary to protect the wheels and engine from damage, dirt and lumps of earth.

Texas units are available in different modifications, which differ in power, functions and technical characteristics. All models of walk-behind tractors are equipped with a chain drive and a 4-stroke engine, which allows you to create harrows up to 30 cm deep (even on very difficult soil).

When moving, the Texas cultivator can bury itself in soft soil, and then it will have to be taken out. This is not difficult to do: the user instructions indicate that you need to turn off the equipment and pull it out of the ground.

The user manual states that the motor cultivator cannot be used on areas of land that have not been cleared of trees and bushes.

If you run a walk-behind tractor on such an area, then trees and chips will remain on the cutters, which can lead to breakage of the sabers. And then you will have to remove them and buy new ones so that the equipment becomes functional again.

Reviews from users and manufacturers indicate that it is recommended to apply the maximum load to the cutters only after going through the break-in process.

Model range of walk-behind tractors Texas

Texas cultivators are equipped with engines of different power, which determines the nature of the work performed and the basic configuration. One of the popular series among summer residents is the Texas series of Hobby walk-behind tractors, which are produced for working on small plots of land. Hobby models can only work on light soil without stones. According to reviews from owners of lightweight Hobby motor cultivators, for example, Texas Hobby 500, such devices easily cope with creating beds for planting root crops, loosening soil in greenhouses, and forming flower beds.

The Hobby series model range is presented in various options:

1. Hobby 300 - allows you to work in a small garden, creating beds and cultivating areas around trees. The model is equipped with a four-stroke engine with a volume of 148 cm³ and a power of 2.6 kW.
