Engine Forza FZ-406 (6.5 hp, 20 mm)

We have installment plans without interest and overpayments through Tinkoff Bank and Post Bank.

Are there really no overpayments?

An installment plan is the same as a bank loan, we (the store) just pay all the interest for you. You pay only the amount for the product itself, divided by the number of months for which you took the installment plan (6 months).

How can I apply for an installment plan?

On the product page, in the block under the price and delivery information there will be a button “In installments for...”. Click on this button.

The installment selection window will open. At the moment there are two options - Tinkoff Bank or Post Bank. A detailed description of installment plans through each bank will be in this window.

When you choose where you would like to take out the installment plan, click on the green “Select” button at the bottom of this window. A new window will open where you will need to fill in information about you.

Just try it - it's really not difficult!

A little about installments through Tinkoff Bank

Ideal for cities with a population of 300 thousand or more or Tinkoff Bank clients.

Fill out all the information required for installment payments directly on our website. After a few minutes, the bank gives an answer - whether it can give you an installment plan or not.

If the installment plan is approved, it must be signed. Online signing (via SMS) is available for Tinkoff Bank clients. If you are not a Tinkoff Bank client, they will call you within a day and arrange a meeting to sign documents.

Ideal option for small towns.

If the installment plan is approved for you, you must sign it. This can be done at the nearest branch of Post Bank or Russian Post.

Installment plans may not be approved?

Yes, sure. An installment plan is the same as a loan, we (the store) just pay the interest for you. But for the bank there is still a risk that you will not pay the “body” of the installment plan - which means they will not issue installment plans to everyone.

This depends on salary, credit history and current credit load.

My installment plan was not approved, what should I do?

Try placing an order through the Shares service (see below). In this case, you will have to pay 25% of the order value immediately, and the next 25% every 2 weeks.

Yes, this will result in an installment plan for a shorter amount of time and there is a down payment.

But approval is 99%, everything is completely online, without signing documents.

Application specifics

The scope of application of the equipment is not limited to agricultural work. The unit is used for transporting loads weighing up to 500 kg, when carrying out gardening, excavation and snow removal work - digging trenches, removing snow, uprooting stumps.

The use of attachments allows you to mechanize most agricultural work:

• hay making;
• planting and harvesting garlic, onions, potatoes;
• pre-sowing soil treatment.

The machine can move at different speeds back and forth, over rough terrain, and work on wet ground. The power of the power plant corresponds to the medium and heavy class, so the walk-behind tractor can cultivate fields of 1-4 hectares.

Owner reviews

• Boris, Stavropol region. A good machine for handling loads. And she doesn’t need anything else. Quiet and economical engine, maximum speed of 20 km/h, comfortable tracked suspension, and load capacity of up to 100 kg. This device does not require professional driving skills. In addition, it is simply easy to operate. I was 18 years old when I started riding it. Over the two years of operation, the motorized towing vehicle has shown itself on the positive side. It brakes well and can maneuver actively, while still being able to carry heavy loads. It is advisable to drive on good, well-trodden roads so that there are no problems with cross-country ability. And if anything happens, you can always pull the car out yourself.
• Yaroslav, Irkutsk region. A decent device for all occasions. The car breaks down often, and this is its main drawback. Before purchasing, I knew what I was getting into. But there was no more money, and the most important thing for me was the transportation of goods - logs, things and other various luggage. Maintenance costs, despite numerous breakdowns, are minimal. It’s very cool when there is such a motorized towing vehicle that consumes an average of 2 liters per hour. Plus, it's well put together. There are only minor problems, mostly related to the chassis and steering. Spare parts are relatively inexpensive, so it’s impossible to go broke. The car is not bad, I will recommend it to my friends.
• Daniil, Penza. Forza 6.5 is my first motorized towing vehicle, which I sold after two months of regular use. Something was constantly falling off, the engine was knocking and ringing, and the gearbox was working intermittently and with delays. Extraneous sounds and vibrations only increased the discomfort. You need to operate while standing, and this is not very convenient. But on the other hand, what more could you want for that kind of money. Moreover, the device turned out to be compact and maneuverable. And it is also capable of transporting up to 100 kg of cargo. He has no more advantages. I sold the car and don't regret it.

Model range of Forza walk-behind tractors

The power of middle-class units is 6.5-9 horsepower. They are purchased to perform agricultural work on an area of ​​less than 1 hectare. Models differ in engine type, dimensions, power, and fuel consumption.

MBD series diesel walk-behind tractors Forza

All models of the MBD series have an extended working life, power from 6 to 12 hp, electric starter. The set includes a support wheel, a seat, cutters, and a plow.

MB series petrol walk-behind tractors Forza

By the brand of the walk-behind tractor you can understand its technical features. “MB” is a brand of heavy-duty models with a power take-off shaft, which have a power level indicator. “FZ” - middle class cars with a power of 6.5-9 hp.

Disadvantages of FORZA 168F-2 (FZ-6.5)

1. Water procedures. The engine stalls when water hits it from above during rain or, as in my case, from the gearbox drive chain during fording. Moreover, it stalls even when water does not get on the red rotary switch. I still can’t fully understand what exactly is going on; where exactly does the water get in, that the engine does not work. If anyone knows, write in the comments. In any case, the motor should be protected from water.
2. The muffler almost came loose. Its fastening bolts were loosened and the gasket burned out. Well, I noticed it in time, tightened the bolts in place, and changed the gasket later. All because of strong vibration, which can also be attributed to shortcomings. Although it cannot be eliminated without changing the engine design.
3. Fuel cap. Although it is metal, it is of terrible quality. Almost immediately I changed it to a plastic one, but more reliable.
4. Red rotary switch. Broken almost immediately, I replaced it with a new one - it broke again. I turned it off by shorting the wire from this switch to the engine housing, i.e. on the same principle. I'll probably install a more reliable switch.

These seem to be all the disadvantages of the FORZA 168F-2 (6.5 hp). If any more come up, I’ll add them in the comments.

The Forza engine is similar to the Lifan. The tank cap is immediately replaceable

Conclusion

The word “Forza” is translated from Italian as “Strength”. And so far this engine lives up to its name. Of course, most of the above pros and cons can be attributed to any similar Chinese engine. After all, in essence, Lifan, Forza, Brait and other similar Chinese engines are the same thing, just under different brands. The only difference is that the build quality and components may vary slightly.

Review of attachments for Forza walk-behind tractors

The operational properties of the unit are determined by the attachments. Without it, there is no point in purchasing a walk-behind tractor.

Milling cutters

Purpose – to loosen the top layer of soil. A diagram and description of the installation process is in the instructions. You can use different types of cutters:

• collapsible;
• solid, powered by PTO;
• with a crow's feet rototiller.

Comment!

A machine equipped with a third type milling cutter can cultivate any type of soil to a depth of 25 cm. The design of the “crow’s feet” hitch is non-removable, so the number of sections is selected in accordance with the technical characteristics of the walk-behind tractor.

Mowers

There are mowers for models with a power take-off shaft and for walk-behind tractors with a belt drive. There is no difference in cost, all models cost from 8 to 13 thousand rubles.

Lugs

To perform work on loose soil, purchase lugs. The devices are worn instead of a protector. Plates made of metal increase traction with the ground, increase the stability of the operating unit, and loosen the soil.

This type of attachment is used when cultivating the soil with a plow. Popular models:

• GMK 25.325.95.25;
• GMB S24.600.120.40.

Comment!

• bilateral Zykov;
• MK Mole;
• PM-1;
• Forza without hitch PMB 10.500.220 NC.

Comment!

To ensure that there are no wheel tracks on the field, when plowing, one wheel is always placed in the previous track.

The standard attachment has a blade and a skimmer. The knife cuts off the top layer of soil, which contains larvae, pest eggs, and weed seeds. The other part of the plow crumbles it, sends it to the bottom of the furrow, and lifts the lower layer of soil onto the dump.

Hiller

If the soil is clayey, purchase a disc hiller. It moves more easily over heavy soil, creates ridges up to 30-35 cm high. For a large field, two-row models are suitable:

• OMBDS 00.470.700;
• OMBDRS.

Single-row attachments are effective in vegetable gardens.
