This makes working with cutters very convenient (the walk-behind tractor does not fall forward or backward); when working with an active hitch (it is easy for the walk-behind tractor to set any desired direction). This balanced design makes the load on your hands as minimal as possible.

The Plowman MKM-3 walk-behind tractor has three speeds, two of which are forward and one is reverse. A characteristic detail is the presence of a very reliable and durable gear reducer. This is a mechanical collapsible gear reducer with excellent traction force. It is manufactured at an aircraft factory. It gives the equipment high reliability and maintainability. Other domestic walk-behind tractors are equipped with the same. In particular, the Agat and Salyut brands. The drive uses a turned steel pulley. It allows you to obtain a consistently high coefficient of engagement with the belt.

Motoblocks "Plowman" are equipped with steering wheels of a modern design, with adjustments in 2 planes. Individual selection of adjustments is available, horizontally and vertically, depending on the physical characteristics of the person. Professional motor pens of original Italian origin are used as controls. The effort on the pressed handle is very small, which helps reduce operator fatigue during a variety of work operations.

When the steering wheel is removed, the walk-behind tractor becomes very compact in size and can be easily transported from place to place in any, even the smallest, car. The low weight allows you to easily rotate the walk-behind tractor 360 degrees, without the need for a wheel release function. The design of this walk-behind tractor is completely free of plastic parts and other unreliable, short-lived or low-quality elements. The protection is also made of steel. As standard, the “Plowman MKM-3” walk-behind tractor is equipped with two axle extensions for possible widening of the track.

Optional equipment

What kind of oil should I pour into the walk-behind tractor gearbox?

How well the walk-behind tractor gearbox will serve depends directly on the quality and characteristics of the oil.
When purchasing lubricant, it is worth considering the advice of walk-behind tractor manufacturers. It is also worth paying attention to the price of the oil. Cheap products do not guarantee good functioning of the gearbox.

It is worth noting the following types of oils according to labeling on the market:

• SAE. An excellent composition for working with frequent temperature changes. There is a number in front of the letter W - this is an indicator of the minimum temperature at which the lubricant is poured;
• ASEA. Universal products that are in greatest demand. The number determines the conditions under which the equipment can operate;
• API. They are in greatest demand. They serve as a good lubricant, regardless of the type of gearbox and the conditions of use of the equipment.

Before using a particular oil, you should read the instructions of the walk-behind tractor manufacturers.

Trailers

In farming and municipal services, there is often a need to transport small items over short distances. Plowman walk-behind tractors are perfectly adapted to work with all types of trailed devices.

The following can be attached to the unit:

Adapter. It is a compact cart with 1 axle and a seat. Used for agricultural work that lasts for a long time. The adapter eliminates the need for the operator to walk around the area and significantly reduces the load on his arms and back.

Cargo trailer. It has a bench for the driver and a voluminous body. Additional equipment can be installed on the drawbar. At the rear of the trailer there is a hitch for attaching rakes or harrows.

Combined trolley. Designed for planting or harvesting work. The presence of 2 seats allows one person to operate the walk-behind tractor, and the second to carry out various actions with attachments.

Winter sleigh. Used for transporting various property in the snow. Made from durable polymer plastic.

In low gear, the walk-behind tractor can tow a trailer with a total weight of up to 500 kg. In this case, fuel consumption will not exceed 2 l/h.

Walk-behind tractor maintenance

If the owner wants his Plowman walk-behind tractor to serve as long as possible and be in good working order, then you should not neglect maintenance. The necessary operations should be carried out regularly, in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements.

In particular, before starting work, you need to check the presence and level of engine oil, as well as fuel. The serviceability of the units can be monitored visually, and the reliability of fixing the attachments can be monitored by hand or, which is much better, with keys. At the same time, you can tighten the loose connection, if necessary.

Be sure to read: Rotary mower for walk-behind tractor

The engine oil change interval is 50 hours. Many manufacturers have special versions of oils adapted specifically for four-stroke walk-behind tractors and other similar equipment (SAE 30 or 5W30). Filters should be cleaned (or replaced) at the same intervals. Every 100 hours you also need to change belts and spark plugs, and, if necessary, also cutters.

The oil used in the gearbox must be of type TAD-1711. It is allowed to fill it with GL-4 or GL-5 with a viscosity of SAE90 or 75W90 instead.

Improved cross-country ability

The low weight of the walk-behind tractor contributes to its maneuverability and ease of control. But this factor can become a problem when working on heavy and wet soil. When traction with the ground is lost, the walk-behind tractor begins to slip and bury itself.

Improving grip is achieved by installing the following devices:

Weights. Disc-shaped weights are attached to the hubs. These can be monolithic parts or containers filled with sand. Mounted weights are attached directly to the frame of the unit or to a self-made frame. The weight of weights varies between 40-80 kg.

Ground hooks. They are wheels with a diameter of up to 70 cm, the rim of which is made in the form of strips with transverse bars. The weight of 1 lug is 25-35 kg.

Axle extensions. They are used to increase the stability and maneuverability of the walk-behind tractor when working on slopes and unstable ground. The wheelbase can be extended to a maximum of 90 cm.

Caterpillars. This is a rather expensive, but very effective device that allows equipment to move through loose snow and swamps.

A small wheel can be installed instead of the front stop. This solution helps to increase the stability of the unit and improve its controllability.

How much oil to fill in the gearbox of a walk-behind tractor?

If you have a question about the amount of oil to fill, you should follow a simple algorithm:

1. The walk-behind tractor should stand on a flat surface with the wings parallel to the ground;
2. The oil dipstick can be a wire with a length of 70 centimeters;
3. When bent, the wire should resemble an arc in shape;
4. A wire is inserted into the tank to the bottom to control the oil level.

If the lubricant is on 30 centimeters of wire, it is no longer added. If it is dry, you need to fill in at least two liters of lubricant.

A feature of the mentioned Lander walk-behind tractor is the use of special protective elements. We are talking about a casing made of steel (protection from rotating parts of the V-belt drive) and wings (protection from the ground and other objects flying into the engine during operation of the device).

The most important advantage of the Lander walk-behind tractor is its professional suitability even in extreme conditions and low noise level. That is, there is no need to wait for the end of the rain or try to somehow level the ground for further processing; the unit will be able to cope with all the difficulties, both with and without attachments. Working with the device is especially pleasant, because there is no terrible hum and loud buzzing characteristic of many walk-behind tractors from other companies.

Advantages

If you want to purchase high-quality professional equipment, then the model range of the Plowman Lander company is represented by the MKM 3 model. This type of equipment is the main model of the company, however, there are several versions of this walk-behind tractor that can be considered as separate models.

Plowman MKM 3

Let's consider the main advantages that the Plowman MKM 3 walk-behind tractor has. All modifications of the Plowman walk-behind tractor, as well as the Sadko, Don, Huter, Plowman, Champion, Carver, Husqvarna, Lifan6.5 walk-behind tractors, are distinguished by high power, which will be enough to operate not only the walk-behind tractor itself , but also attachments.

This is especially convenient if you plan to use this technique not only for weeding and loosening, but also for other operations with the soil. But, despite its high power, MKM 3 is lightweight. Similar walk-behind tractors from other companies weigh 1.5 times more!

This weight makes this device easy to transport and operate. For such equipment, good controllability and ease of changing cutter settings are very important. To provide all these advantages, Plowman equips his equipment with zero balancing, so it is very convenient to work with it.

You can easily configure all the parameters of the walk-behind tractor exactly as it will be beneficial for you. It is especially convenient that the height of the steering wheel is also adjustable, which will greatly facilitate the controllability of the walk-behind tractor.

Another important “trump card” of this type of equipment is that it allows you to work in truly extreme conditions without any additional training. You don’t have to level the soil or wait for the rain to stop, because Plowman walk-behind tractors are capable of working in absolutely any conditions!

Few vehicles can boast such endurance. Such reliability is ensured thanks to reliable components, couplings and welding. All parts of such equipment are made of durable types of metal, so you don’t have to worry about your walk-behind tractor getting serious damage during operation.

Also, such reliability allows this technique to be used to lift even a fairly deep layer of heavy soil.

Nobody likes noise while working, because it gives them headaches. The engines of Plowman walk-behind tractors are much quieter than many other models, which allows you to carry out agricultural work in comfort.

Each modification of MKM 3 is made in such a way that attachments can be installed on it. This is easy to do thanks to a well-thought-out fastening system. Therefore, you will not have any problems installing a potato planter on your walk-behind tractor, and after 3 minutes change it to a weeding plow.

With the Plowman equipment, you always have a large arsenal of tools for caring for the soil at your fingertips.

To ensure that the attachments can work without interruption and the walk-behind tractor does not overheat, the company has developed a unique gear reducer that ensures uninterrupted operation even when the voltage reaches peak levels. These are the advantages that distinguish the equipment from the Plowman Lander company.

Motoblock Stinko MB-7

Technical features

This device is equipped with a powerful four-stroke motor with 7 hp. and a reinforced gearbox. Thanks to this combination, excellent performance is ensured when performing the entire range of agricultural work: plowing, cultivation, hilling, planting and harvesting root crops, transporting goods, etc.

Thanks to pneumatic tires with herringbone tread, the necessary grip on the surface is ensured. The hitch is installed of a universal hexagonal type with a diameter of 24 mm. Thanks to this, the attachment does not rotate on its axle during operation.

The cutters are made of hardened metal, which allow you to work even with heavy soil, helping to grind weeds and roots. Their grip width is 65 mm, and their immersion depth is up to 33 cm.

The gearbox, unlike most Chinese and domestic analogues, is made of hardened steel and is able to withstand high operating loads.

Particular attention was paid to the steering rod. It has a special anti-vibration system that absorbs most of the vibration emanating from the engine and makes the control process as simple, convenient and safe as possible.

Attachments

Motoblocks MKM-3 Lander have gained great popularity due to the quality of manufacturing of the main structural components, engine power and a wide selection of additional attachments.

Let's look at the most common attachments.

Milling cutter

The MKM-3 Lander walk-behind tractor comes with a set of tillers for tillage. They are installed instead of standard pneumatic wheels and allow mixing of the top layer of soil.

There is another option - active cutters. They are connected to the power take-off shaft. When cultivating the field with such attachments, the Lander walk-behind tractor behaves more steadily.

Plow

If it is necessary to cultivate virgin or hard soils, it is recommended to use a plow. It is capable of processing those rocks where the cutters cannot enter the ground and will either break off or simply jump over.

Plowman Lander walk-behind tractors do not have enough power to drive a 2-circuit plow, so they only work with 1.

Mowers and rakes

In order to maintain the local area in order and remove weeds, Plowman Lander walk-behind tractors are used together with a rotary mower. They are able to cope with young grass and medium-sized shrubs. Rotary mowers cut grass using rotating blades that spin out.

If the hay needs to be removed after mowing, then you can use another attachment for this - a rake. Their width is about 1 m.

Potato digger and potato planter

Plowman Lander walk-behind tractors can help in planting and harvesting potatoes. For this purpose, appropriate attachments are used.

The most popular version of the potato digger is the screen one. Its active knife plunges into the ground about 20 cm, picks up a layer of soil along with the fruits, and then uses screens to break up the soil and leave only the tubers on the surface.

Hillers

Hillers are used to care for potatoes; they are made in the form of two disks that throw a layer of soil from the rows onto the potato bushes. Thus, two tasks are performed at once: hilling and weeding.

Snowblowers and blade shovel

With the onset of winter, land work stops, and many owners put Plowman Lander walk-behind tractors into storage.

If you have a snow blower or a shovel, you can use it to clear the area of ​​snow. This is especially true in rural areas, where these works have to be carried out independently.

Snow blowers are a special attachment that picks up a layer of snow and, through a rotor and a special outlet, throws it at a distance of 5 meters.

The shovel blade is used mainly for cleaning the local area.

Wheels, lugs and tracks

Plowman walk-behind tractors belong to the average traction and weight class of walk-behind tractors. They reliably grip the surface due to pneumatic wheels with an aggressive tread.

To improve cross-country ability, lugs are used instead of standard tires. They are used when working on swampy or wet soil.

Track modules are installed when driving a walk-behind tractor in winter. They increase the contact area with the surface and improve control when driving on ice or snow.

Weights

The disadvantage of Plowman Lander walk-behind tractors is their light weight, therefore they often slip and behave unstably.

To give them greater balance, you can install additional weight in the form of weights, which are hung on the wheel axle in the form of pancakes.

Trailer

Plowman walk-behind tractors can transport goods by installing trailers. The choice of its configuration directly depends on the cargo being transported:

• Trailers with high sides are used when transporting bulky cargo;
• Tipper options are used when transporting bulk items;
• Long carts are used when it is necessary to transport long pipes or tree trunks.

Adapter

To reduce the physical load on the operator, adapters can be used while working on the Plowman Lander walk-behind tractor. This is a special attachment in the form of a seat, which is installed at the back of the walk-behind tractor and allows you to control the progress of the machine while sitting.

Homemade options

As we see, the range of various attachments for Lander MKM walk-behind tractors is very large and everyone can choose the one that suits their taste. However, their cost can sometimes reach half the price of a walk-behind tractor.

Therefore, many people are thinking about making attachments themselves. To do this, there are a large number of different thematic forums, websites and video reviews of manufacturing on the Internet.
