Device
The design of Tselina walk-behind tractors is classic with the following main components:
Gearbox
On Tselina models, 2 types of gearboxes are used:
- The chain type is less common and is an improved version of the MB.01.000.1-01 gearbox. The chain reducer is produced according to Russian specifications in China. The design used was actively used on walk-behind tractors produced in the 80s of the last century. After noticeable modernization, it continues to be used on modern modifications of Tselina equipment;
- The gear one is made according to the specifications from the original gearbox of the Salyut 5 walk-behind tractor. In comparison with the element used in Tselina models, the original gearbox has a stronger body, since it is made of casting. The gear reducer of the Perm brand is again distinguished by a significant service life due to the stiffening ribs present in its design. They give the element increased strength. The service life of this gearbox is about 3000 hours. The tight fit of the components and increased rigidity of the gearbox allow you to work for a long time at peak loads.
Transmission
The element is manufactured in China. There are 2 types of clutch between the gearbox and the motor pulley:
- a multi-disc clutch in an oil bath is used on most modifications of Tselina walk-behind tractors. This type is more accepting and reliable. However, in this case it will be impossible to carry out repairs in the field (the help of a specialist will be required);
- V-belt transmission is a cheap and reliable system that even an inexperienced walk-behind tractor owner can repair. When working, special equipment with a belt drive “jumps” less and is more controllable.
Engine
Almost all Tselina walk-behind tractors use Chinese Lifan motors, combining affordability and reliability.
Wheels
Produced in China.
Attachment overview
- Mill - used for tillage. As a rule, it is supplied as a kit and installed instead of wheels. By adjusting the coulter, you can change the depth of processing. This attachment allows you to quickly get the job done
- Adapter – designed to facilitate operator control of the walk-behind tractor
- A trailer is necessary for transporting goods. The trailer is connected using fasteners and loads up to 400 kg are transported on it
- Mowers - there are two types: rotary and segment. Rotary cutters cut grass thanks to rotating blades and are designed for mowing young, short grass. And segmented ones cut grass thanks to knives that move in a horizontal plane and are able to cope even with small bushes
- Lugs. If the wheels skip the ground during milling or slip when transporting loads, they can be replaced with metal lugs. Instead of a tread, they have steel plates, which significantly improve traction while moving. You can buy them ready-made, or make them yourself.
- Plow – If the soil is heavy and the power of the cutter is not enough, then you can use a conventional plow to mix the top layer of soil. For lightweight models, it will be necessary to take additional weighting materials.
- A snow blower is useful in areas where winters are accompanied by heavy precipitation, as it can be used to easily clear the area of snow. The steel auger in the snow removal attachment to the Tselina SP-60 walk-behind tractor is capable of grinding even frozen snow and throwing it at a distance of up to 20 m. When connecting a blade shovel, the snow is simply raked to the side
- A potato digger/planter is a separate device that greatly facilitates both planting and harvesting vegetables. The potato planter makes narrow furrows, and a special attachment places seeds at a certain distance. The digger undermines and lifts the tubers, which then lie to the side of the unit
- Weighting agents - used on dense soils, when the weight of the walk-behind tractor is not enough for effective plowing of the land
- The snowmobile attachment is a new product in the field of modernization of walk-behind tractors. Used to facilitate the passage of the unit through snow drifts. The photo shows the appearance of the device equipped with tracks

Basic faults
As a rule, the designs of walk-behind tractors are not particularly different, so the malfunctions can be similar. Among the most common may be the following:
- Engine power drops
- Complete engine shutdown
- Idle, works intermittently
- Possible smoke from the walk-behind tractor
- The starter makes unusual noises
- The belt is not tensioned correctly
If the engine does not start, then in search of faults and their further elimination, you should perform the following steps to identify the causes:
- Turn on the ignition
- Check the presence of fuel in the tank
- Inspect the carburetor air damper (when starting a cold engine, the damper must be closed)
- Check the fuel supply to the carburetor.
The operating instructions describe possible ways to eliminate breakdowns and provide addresses of service centers in the event that the owner himself is not able to cope with the malfunction.
Run-in
After purchasing a new or used walk-behind tractor, it is necessary to run it in. Tselin models are again no exception, since this process is very important and ensures long-term operation of the equipment. Run-in is operation in a gentle mode, during which the main elements of the gearbox, gearbox and engine are ground in. It is important to select the correct load for the walk-behind tractor (indicated in the instructions). Usually the 50/50 rule (half of the maximum parameters) is applied. Running in without oil in the crankcase is prohibited. The first start-up should be done extremely carefully. First, you should simply watch the operation of the walk-behind tractor, and if no visible deviations were noticed, then you can proceed to the active break-in phase (operation at medium speeds). The duration of the process is usually 7-10 hours. After break-in, maintenance must be performed.
Tselina walk-behind tractors are considered one of the most popular in Russia. Many users appreciated their durability and reliability. Combined with an affordable price, these parameters make the equipment an indispensable assistant for any owner of a small plot.
Owner reviews
We invite all readers of our online magazine to read existing reviews or leave your comments on the presented models. On forums dedicated to gardening equipment, owners of Tselina models agreed that the main advantage is the Lifan engine, which has great power and efficiency.
Mikhail “I thought for a long time which walk-behind tractor to choose and bought a Tselina MB601 a year ago and I can’t be happier with the engine. It's torquey, starts quickly and has enough power to cover the area. Plowing became easy and fast. The trouble occurred 2 months later, when the chain in the gearbox broke. However, the repairs were carried out under warranty. A series of breakdowns spoil the overall impression - the brakes are weak, you have to tighten them, the cart mount fell off 2 times, problems with the clutch belts.”
Maxim “I’ve been working on Tselina 601 for a year. I saw a photo of the model and characteristics and decided to take it. The running-in was carried out strictly according to the instructions. The operation is intensive. I carry loads on a cart a lot. I like that it starts with half a turn and has good cross-country ability. Among the shortcomings - after 3 months the valve cover cracked and oil began to leak. The electric starter mounting bolt has broken.”
Valery “The Tselina MB-901 walk-behind tractor is an ideal solution for cleaning a personal plot. The engine runs like a clock and starts with half a turn. At -20 degrees it is better to replace the original oil with seasonal oil. The tread on the wheels wore out quickly, so I replaced it with car ones. For icy conditions, I welded chains myself and the walk-behind tractor became more stable.”
