Reviews

I bought a Kadvi MB 1D walk-behind tractor almost 6 years ago. During its operation, it experienced colossal overloads, but survived. If I change this model, it will only be with the same one. Among the shortcomings, I will only note the not the best quality of the attachments, which sometimes had to be upgraded. There are no complaints about the engine. The domestic engine, despite great concerns on my part, works great. Moreover, I operate the unit even in the fall at sub-zero temperatures. Fuel consumption is quite normal - a full tank is enough for 3-4 hours of operation. So far there are only positive emotions from the operation of the equipment.
Motoblock Kadvi MB 1D 6 hp. has been in my possession for more than 7 years. I use the unit exclusively for hilling and cultivation. I carry out the hilling in 2 passes: a preliminary run and a final pass. We have to do this because the first time the hilling periodically turns out to be uneven. You can maneuver the walk-behind tractor quite well thanks to the presence of reverse gears, but its weight is not always enough. You can process 25 acres of your garden in about 2.5-3 hours. The power of the walk-behind tractor is quite enough for my site, and so far I’m happy with its quality.
Over the 4 years of operation, Kadvi MB 1D has not failed. The walk-behind tractor always starts 1-2 times. At the same time, the device is very multifunctional. I used it for cultivating, planting, cutting grass and harvesting. I liked the special equipment because of its reliability and efficiency. A full tank was enough for the entire plot (20 acres). Initially I was wary of the purchase. The walk-behind tractor resembled a Soviet-era model, but my brother advised me to take it. In the end, I was not mistaken. There were practically no complaints about quality. The only downside is periodic oil leaks from the gearbox. The walk-behind tractor is worth the money spent on it and is certainly not inferior to Chinese models.
The Kadvi MB 1D model is an excellent option for people who are tech-savvy. Many details on it can be modified independently. The body of the device is very durable and can withstand painting for quite a long time. The build quality is again satisfactory. After purchasing the connection of the walk-behind tractor, I did not tighten it further, everything was fine. There are no complaints about the engine either. The Kaluga engine knows its job and starts perfectly in any weather. Of course, there is a difference compared to imported units. But they cost much more. The main advantage of the walk-behind tractor is its significant maintainability. It can be easily repaired at home. Kadvi MB 1D is a very good device at an affordable price.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Oka MB 1D1M10 walk-behind tractor is quite popular in many regions of our country.

MB 1D1M10

This is no coincidence, because it has a number of obvious advantages:

The presence of a chain gearbox, as well as a V-belt drive.
Adjustable steering column;
The design of this walk-behind tractor includes a box-shaped muffler, which can significantly reduce the noise level (by about 30%).
Availability of a wide speed range. The highest speed is used to transport goods of various types.
Sufficiently high maneuverability in confined spaces, thanks to the small turning radius.
Possibility of aggregation with the device of a wide variety of equipment.
The dimensions are small enough to allow the unit to be transported in a passenger car.
A large number of certified centers throughout the country, which has a positive effect on the speed of provision of repair, maintenance, etc. services.
The presence of an automatic decompressor, facilitating the starting process.
The cost of the unit is quite reasonable for the majority of the population.

As for the shortcomings of this walk-behind tractor, they are entirely formed from personal feelings during the work of specific people.

It cannot be said that there are any obvious disadvantages, but some users of this technique note certain points:

The weight of the walk-behind tractor is quite small, which causes certain difficulties when working with heavy areas of soil.
Some are unhappy with the presence of drive belts in the design, which wear out quite quickly. In principle, there is some truth in this, but belts are initially positioned as a consumable material. In addition, the walk-behind tractor comes with several spare parts.

In principle, the existing shortcomings are more than covered by a large number of advantages. In addition, the cost of the Oka walk-behind tractor is very low, and the issue of price has become increasingly decisive lately. This issue is especially acute in rural areas, where, in fact, the walk-behind tractor will be used.
