A metal partition with a small window acts as a separation between these two compartments. The car was equipped with a four-cylinder gasoline engine with a carburetor power system. Its maximum power reaches 75 horsepower.

Steering, brakes and wheels

The type of steering mechanism UAZ-220695-04 is “screw - ball nut-rack - sector with hydraulic power steering”. The steering gear ratio is 17.3.

The car's braking system is dual-circuit, with a vacuum booster, drum type at the rear and disc brakes at the front. Parking brake – drum, transmission. On modern UAZ-220695-04, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) is available as standard.

UAZ-220695-04 wheels are disc, steel, stamped, with a deep one-piece rim. They are equipped with 16-inch pneumatic tires, with a universal or deep tread, all-terrain. Previously, tires on the UAZ-2206 were installed with tube, diagonal or radial; Currently, only tubeless radial ones, size 225/75R16, are installed on the UAZ-220695-04.

Cabin

The UAZ-3909 has an all-metal cabin with three single-leaf side doors and a double-leaf rear one. Inside there are several seats that allow you to transport up to seven people. The cargo compartment is designed for cargo weighing up to 450 kilograms. The passenger compartment is separated from the cargo compartment by a metal partition with a small window.

The central place in the cabin is occupied by the power unit, covered with a casing. This solution allows you to maintain and repair the engine even in harsh weather conditions, since you do not need to go outside to do this. Also, when operating in conditions of low negative temperatures, the motor acts as a heater, and it is quite effective. But in the summer it is very hot in the cabin because of this. Initially, the casing had dermantine leatherette upholstery, but later it received carpet. Thanks to this, it was possible to reduce the noise level created by the engine during operation.

Specifications

Engine

All modern UAZ-3909 models use a four-cylinder in-line power unit from the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant - ZMZ-40911.10. Distinctive features of this engine are the presence of a fuel injection system and compliance with Euro-5 environmental requirements.

Characteristics of ZMZ-40911.10:

Working volume – 2.69 l;
Rated power – 112 hp;
Cylinder diameter – 95.5 mm;
Piston stroke – 94 mm;
The compression ratio in the combustion chamber is 9:1;
The highest torque is 198 Nm (at 2500 rpm).

The first models were equipped with a four-speed manual transmission. After modernization, they began to use a five-speed gearbox instead, equipped with synchronizers in second, third, fourth and fifth gears.

The gearbox operates from the engine via a dry, single-plate, friction clutch with a hydraulic release drive.

In addition to all this, the transmission also includes a two-stage transfer case with direct and reduction gears.

Vehicle equipment

The UAZ-390944 engine is installed at the factory on the ZMZ 40911.10 model, the volume of which is 2.693 liters, it develops a power of 112.2 liters.

Peculiarities

Despite the fact that the car lags far behind its counterparts in terms of comfort and ergonomics, and also has design solutions from the 1960s, it is still very popular today. Most often it is used in rural areas where there are practically no roads. In addition, the model is actively used by fishermen, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.

The considerable popularity of the UAZ-3909 is currently due to such qualities as:

Excellent maneuverability. Perhaps none of the modern cars can compare with the Ulyanovsk all-terrain vehicle in this parameter. The model has all-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case and a fairly high ground clearance, which together allows it to cope with almost all road obstacles;

Excellent maneuverability. This parameter is explained by the compact overall dimensions and small wheelbase. In addition, the car can be equipped with hydraulic power steering;

High maintainability. Nowadays, purchasing any spare parts for the UAZ-3909 will not be difficult. Firstly, this is due to their fairly wide distribution, and secondly, their affordable cost;

Simplicity of design. The car has a really simple and understandable design. Quite convenient access to the engine is provided by the hood cover located in the cabin. Thanks to this, engine maintenance and repair can be carried out without leaving the cab, which is especially convenient in harsh weather conditions;

Availability. With all its qualities, the UAZ-3909 has a very affordable price. Plus, for the price, it's the best SUV out there. In this regard, many consumers turn a blind eye to its shortcomings.

UAZ 3909 electrical diagram

The cost of a new UAZ-3909 car from an official dealer is on average 650 thousand rubles for a version with minimal equipment. Other modifications will cost a little more.

The price tag for a used version varies quite widely. Thus, the minimum price is at around 60 thousand rubles, and the maximum is 700 thousand rubles. The most expensive version often has individually installed equipment that increases its maneuverability. This could be new bridges and a winch, or other equipment.

Reviews from owners and drivers

When traveling on the highway, the “loaf” minibus is not very comfortable to drive and “fidgets.” The steering wheel “walks”, the responses to steering are with pauses. At speeds above 90 km/h, the car expands and behaves in such a way that the instinct of self-preservation forces you to slow down. And there’s even less desire to accelerate to the mythical “maximum speed” of 127 km/h.

In addition to impeccable cross-country ability, the list of advantages of the model includes a strong and durable frame structure; extremely reliable rear suspension, unlike multi-link types; successful weight distribution, due to which the front part of the car does not fall into the mud or sink into it. When driving uphill, the UAZ minibus is ahead of ordinary cars, even those with more power.

And, of course, one cannot fail to mention the affordable cost of the car: its price is much lower than that of other SUVs. Therefore, despite all the archaic nature of the car; not always high-quality assembly and other shortcomings, one can only be happy for the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. Which survived all the hardships of the transition period, withstands modern legislation and continues to provide the country with the necessary products.

UAZ-39094 “Farmer”: technical characteristics

What should a purely masculine car be like for it to become a faithful friend and assistant both at work and at leisure? First of all, reliable, durable, functional and unpretentious. One of the Ulyanovsk auto models has exactly these qualities.

This is a universal cargo-passenger all-wheel drive SUV with a 4x4 wheel arrangement. It is equipped with a spacious 5-seater cabin and a compact but spacious cargo platform, so it is ideal for transporting people and for transporting all kinds of cargo weighing up to 1075 kg.

The name “Farmer” speaks for itself: this machine is intended for entrepreneurs running their business in the agricultural sector. It is “not afraid” of dirt roads and off-road conditions, has good driving characteristics and a low price.

UAZ 220695 04 loaf: technical characteristics, fuel consumption rate

The small-sized UAZ Farmer truck is designed to transport cargo weighing up to 1150 kg and 5-7 people. The machine is equipped with an on-board platform and a 2-row cabin, and is used by private agriculture and public utilities. The use of all-wheel drive allows you to deliver repair crews and various loads along country roads and off-road.

History of the creation of the UAZ-39094 “Farmer”

The development of all-wheel drive light-duty off-road trucks began at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant back in the late 50s of the 20th century. The “great-grandfather” of the current models was the UAZ-450D, which was replaced in 1966 by the UAZ-452D, produced unchanged until 1985. The successor of the “genus” was the UAZ-3303 two-seater boat truck. It was distinguished by a simple and durable design, which made it possible to operate it on any roads and in any climate, and to carry out maintenance and repairs in harsh field conditions.

Based on the UAZ-3303 model, various modifications of trucks with a carrying capacity of up to 1.5 tons were created, equipped with isothermal and grain vans, fuel and milk tanks, aerial platforms and drilling rigs. In addition, cars with booths for comfortable transportation and even short-term accommodation of people, the so-called “shift vehicles,” were produced.

In 1997, the first batch of small-tonnage UAZ-39094 vehicles with an extended wheelbase, on which a 5-seater cabin was already located, rolled off the assembly line of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. True, due to the increase in the size of the cabin, the cargo platform became slightly smaller, which resulted in a decrease in its carrying capacity to 1075 kg. However, as shown by the high consumer demand for these models, this decision turned out to be correct. Thus, the designers only managed to expand the functionality of an ordinary truck, turning it into a real home on wheels.

UAZ "Farmer" with a double cab and a short cargo platform

As a result of the next modernization carried out in 2011, the basic version of the Farmer began to be equipped with an ABS system, power steering, seat belts and an engine that complies with the Euro-4 standard. UAZ-39094 is produced to this day. It is popular not only among small businesses, but also appreciated by lovers of fishing, hunting and travel.

Cost of UAZ-220695-04

The fact that the “loaf” minibus has once again “increased the retirement age” was enthusiastically received by many people in the Russian outback, as well as urban hunting and fishing enthusiasts. The UAZ-220695-04 is still valued for its simplicity, spaciousness, phenomenal cross-country ability and modest price - the basic version costs only 650 thousand rubles. There are no other all-wheel drive minibuses for that kind of money and there never will be. On the secondary automobile market, a used “loaf” in the minibus version can be purchased at a price half or three times less.

By the way, in honor of the 60th anniversary of the legendary model, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant released an anniversary version of the minibus in 2022, for 765,000 rubles. Its distinctive feature is a two-color body (light green, with a top painted in glossy white), a bright nameplate on the side with an antique-style UAZ symbol and the year the family began production, as well as wheels of the same white color.

Technical characteristics of UAZ-39094

The UAZ-39094 “Farmer” differs from the basic UAZ-3303 in greater power and performance, better cross-country ability and stability. It can rightfully be called one of the most successful cargo-passenger SUVs produced by UAZ.

Engine and transmission

The car is equipped with an extremely reliable and productive power unit ZMZ-40911.10, which has the following characteristics:

type – in-line;
type of fuel – gasoline (octane number not lower than 92);
working volume - 2.693 l;
total number of cylinders – 4;
Max. power – 112.2 hp (82.5 kW) at 4250 rpm. in min.;
Max. torque - 198 N*m at 2500 rpm. in min.;
engine weight without special fluids – 190 kg;
Max. speed – 115 km/h;
average fuel consumption per 100 km is 10 liters (at a speed of 60 km), 15 liters (at 100 km).

A complex microprocessor system controls injection and ignition. It also ensures optimal engine operation, helping to save fuel under increased loads.

The motor has a combined lubrication system that eliminates friction of parts by spraying oil under pressure. The gas distribution mechanism is made of particularly durable materials, which makes it highly reliable. Without major overhaul, the engine can travel 500,000 km.

Heat removal is carried out through a liquid cooling system, which includes the following elements:

water pump;
radiator;
thermostat;
temperature and alarm sensors;
coolant (any brand of antifreeze or plain water is suitable).

The engine is paired with a transmission consisting of a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 2-speed transfer case, which manually disengages the front axle drive. Some new car modifications are equipped with a forced differential locking system for the rear axle.

Brake system

Another nice feature of the “Farmer” is an effective braking system equipped with a vacuum booster. Moreover, there are disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. This configuration guarantees that the car will be able to brake as quickly as possible, even in difficult road conditions.

Platform

The UAZ-39094 model is equipped with a spacious onboard platform made of durable metal with wooden flooring. The structure is equipped with removable frame arches for mounting the awning and the awning itself, opening on three sides. Installation and dismantling of the awning is carried out simply and quickly, even by one person. To transport passengers, a row of seats is installed in the body.

Compared to the base UAZ-3303 truck, the Farmer’s platform is located 10 cm lower, which significantly simplifies loading and unloading operations.

The overall dimensions of the cargo compartment are as follows:

length – 2040 mm;
width – 1870 mm;
side height – 400 mm;
height with awning – 1400 mm.

Dimensional and mass indicators

length – 4847 mm;
width – 1990 mm;
height – 2355 mm;
wheelbase – 2550 mm;
curb weight – 1995 kg;
total weight – 3070 kg;
load capacity – 1075 kg;
turning radius – 7.5 m;
fuel tank capacity - 56 l (optional, you can install a second tank of 30 l);
tires – 225/75 R16С, 225/85 R15С.

As already noted, the UAZ-39094 has excellent off-road capabilities, which are provided not only by all-wheel drive, the ability to engage low gears and leaf spring suspension, but also by an impressive ground clearance of 220 mm.

This height allows you to easily overcome 30-degree climbs. The car is not afraid of water obstacles up to half a meter deep. This all-terrain vehicle will behave equally confidently not only on rough terrain, but also when moving through shallow mountain springs with a rocky bottom.

Despite the increased maneuverability of this model, it is still not recommended to abuse this quality. For example, you shouldn’t intentionally drive your car into deep liquid mud, otherwise you might not be able to get out without a tractor.

Transmission

The transmission of the UAZ-220695-04 vehicle consists of the following elements: clutch, gearbox, transfer case, cardan transmission, drive axles.

Clutch - manufactured by ZMZ, diaphragm, dry friction, with torsional vibration damper. The clutch mechanism is bolted to the engine flywheel, balanced together with the crankshaft, and its position after balancing is marked on the housing and flywheel with an “O” sign.

The gearbox is a five-speed manual, currently sourced from Chinese manufacturer BAIC. The quality of work of this “mechanics” often causes complaints from owners and drivers of new “loaf” minibuses. Previously, minibuses of the UAZ-2206 family were equipped with a domestic mechanical four-speed ADS gearbox, equipped with inertial-type synchronizers.

The transfer case is two-stage, with the function of disabling the front axle drive. The transfer case distributes torque between the two drive axles of the machine. Also, an additional reduction gear in the transfer case provides, if necessary, an increase in traction on the drive wheels and doubles the gear range. Gear ratios – direct transmission: 1.00; reduction gear: 1.94.

The cardan transmission of the UAZ minibus is an open type and consists of two shafts - front and rear. Each shaft has two universal joints with a cross on needle bearings. The driveshaft designs are the same. The UAZ-220695-04 minibus is equipped with single-stage axles with a crankcase detachable in a vertical plane. The front axle is equipped with a device for disabling the wheel drive. The final drive ratio is 4.625. The axle differential is conical, with 4 satellites. The front axle steering knuckle joints are ball joints of equal angular velocity.

Cabin of the UAZ-39094 “Farmer”: review

The car is equipped with a double all-metal spacious cabin with a 5-seater interior layout. On the right passenger side there is an additional door providing easy access to the rear row of seats. This model is not distinguished by its refined exterior and interior, but for a work car it’s just right.

Another advantage of the “Farmer” is the convenient location of the engine - it is located under the cab between the front seats, and is accessible from the cabin. To do this, you just need to lift the protective cover. This solution makes it possible to troubleshoot problems in adverse weather conditions.

Passenger compartment of the UAZ-39094 cabin

In addition, heat emanates from the engine compartment, which provides additional heating in winter. Although, it must be admitted that in summer this advantage turns into a huge disadvantage, because it gets very hot in the cabin.

The driver's workplace leaves a controversial impression. I am sincerely pleased with the presence of an updated steering wheel and a multifunctional steering column switch (turns and headlights are turned on on the left, wipers and windshield washer on the right).

The location of the instrument panel is puzzling - it is located in the middle of the panel! To see the indicators, you literally have to look closely, taking your eyes off the road.

Owner reviews and how much it costs

Despite the start of production of Pro series bonneted trucks based on components of the Patriot SUV, the production of cars of the previous generation did not stop. The simplified design of vehicles developed in the 60s has a positive effect on the price - the cost of a new UAZ-390944 starts from 697 thousand rubles. At the buyer's request, heated front seats are installed on the car; this option costs 7 thousand rubles. The plant does not offer any other add-ons.

Used Farmer cars that are in good condition are valued by their owners at 300-350 thousand. On the secondary market there are cars equipped at the factory with a diesel engine. The use of such a power unit reduced the cost of cargo transportation, but the equipment did not become popular among owners. The price of such vehicles is no different from the cost of gasoline all-terrain vehicles.

Alexey, Kostroma region

The Farmer bought a car for trips into nature and delivery of small loads to a country house. The rear row of seats can be folded into a bed. The vehicle's maneuverability through mud and uneven country roads is good. The disadvantage is that the engine is located inside the cabin; it gets hot in the summer. In winter, the hood serves as an additional heater, but only after the power unit has warmed up. There is no comfort for the driver and passengers; the all-terrain vehicle is unsuitable for long trips.

There are 2 cars at work that differ in transmission. The version with a 5-speed gearbox is more economical, the acceleration dynamics are no different from the 4-speed model. The metal of the body and frame is poorly painted; corrosion appears on new cars after 6-8 months of operation. The car drives on any road; only an inexperienced driver can get stuck.

NOT a comparative review. NEW Sable 4x4 is better than UAZ Patriot.

Modifications of UAZ-3909

In addition to the Farmer, other types of specialized vehicles were built on a similar basis. For example:

flatbed two-door flatbed UAZ-3303 (Tadpole) with a carrying capacity of 1225 kg with an extended loading platform;
glazed cargo-passenger van UAZ-3741 , designed to transport 9 passengers or cargo of the corresponding weight equivalent;
COMBI UAZ-3909 is a universal carriage-type utility vehicle that can accommodate 6 passengers and over 400 kg of cargo;

UAZ 390995 (cargo-passenger)

UAZ-2206 buses , designed to transport 9 people and about 1 ton of cargo.

Suspension UAZ-220695-04

The minibus suspension includes four longitudinal semi-elliptical springs, with anti-roll bar in the front suspension; rear springs - with suspension. The springs work together with 4 double-acting telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers.

The spring consists of thirteen leaves. The length of the straightened spring is 1239±3 mm. It is attached to the frame in supports, based on rubber pads. The front and rear edges of the springs are identical in design, so the installation of the spring on the frame does not depend on the location of the ends.

Shock absorbers on the UAZ-220695-04 are of a telescopic type, consisting of a working cylinder and assemblies: a rod with a piston assembly, a compression valve and a reservoir assembly. With their upper lugs, which are connected to the rod, the shock absorbers are attached to the frame bracket, and with their lower lugs, connected to the reservoir, to the vehicle axles.

Previously, the front and rear shock absorbers of the UAZ-2206 were identical in design and interchangeable with each other. Now on the UAZ-220695-04 the front shock absorbers are hydropneumatic, and the rear shock absorbers are hydraulic.

Reviews from owners of UAZ-39094 “Farmer”: advantages and disadvantages

Oleg, 34 years old, Ryazan

I bought a new “Farmer” 2 years ago. I chose this model on purpose, because it suits me perfectly for my work. I am the owner of a small furniture workshop, so I often have to transport both materials and finished products. Plus, we often go fishing with friends.

In general, I'm happy with the car. It is reliable, its cross-country ability is beyond praise. With maximum load and with passengers, it easily overcomes both snow and dirt. Only in such conditions it consumes one and a half times more gasoline.

I also don’t like that the interior is blown out of all the cracks in winter; even the standard heaters don’t help, even though they are quite powerful. We'll have to think about the thermal insulation of the cabin. In general, the issue of comfort here is quite acute. Although, what can you ask from a working machine?
