The modern market provides a large selection of agricultural machinery. Recently, Chinese and Russian firms have become the leaders of manufacturers of motoblocks - the most important equipment for small private farms. The units manufactured by these countries are distinguished not only by their reliability and practicality, but also by their durability.

Brait products have proven themselves to be excellent.

Peculiarities

This manufacturer has been producing walk-behind tractors for 6 years. During this time, the Brait technique has shown itself perfectly. It should be noted that the company is engaged in the production of not only diesel and gasoline units, but also various attachments for them.

The company produces a large line of gasoline cars and several types of heavy diesel motoblocks. With high performance indicators, the units of this brand are distinguished by a rather low price. Therefore, Brait equipment and accessories are available to everyone.

Such walk-behind tractors are famous for their reliable and professional assembly, as well as the use of advanced technologies in the field of agriculture.

So, the engines that the manufacturer equips the walk-behind tractors are produced by the Chinese company LIFAN. He is considered the leader in his field.

Also, a feature of this line is the small dimensions of the walk-behind tractors. This makes the machines more maneuverable, which makes it much easier to work in a field where there are no straight surfaces. Due to their power, the devices can handle not only medium, but also large land plots.

By purchasing such equipment, farmers get the opportunity to almost completely automate the entire range of work on the farm, which, in turn, reduces labor costs and work time.

High-performance walk-behind tractors have almost the same characteristics as mini-tractors, which are capable of performing all the necessary manipulations in the field of agriculture. The model range of gasoline-powered motoblocks includes 16 units. From such a variety, you can choose a technique with any required characteristics. Consider a description of the most popular models of motoblocks from Brait.

The lineup

Gasoline-powered motoblocks are presented in a greater variety. This is due to the increased demand due to the lower price in comparison with diesel types of the unit.

Among the models of the middle weight category, one can single out:

BR-58A

BR-68

BR-75

All these motoblocks are equipped with a 7 horsepower gasoline engine. BR-58A unit is the most inexpensive option … It is a small device that weighs only 80 kg. The walk-behind tractor is equipped with a manual starter and a 4-stroke single-cylinder engine.

The main disadvantage of this model is the lack of a power take-off shaft, which indicates the impossibility of using the entire range of attachments.

The BR-68 is also a fairly economical option .… Its main components, such as the starter motor, engine and 3-speed gearbox, are identical to the previous version of the unit. However, the greater weight, which is 105 kg, gives it a little more options. In particular, the installation of a trailer trolley, with which you can transport loads weighing up to half a ton.

And the last motoblock of this company in its class, which is popular with summer residents - BR-75 . It provides the user with the ability to adjust the column to fit his height for greater ease of use. The weight of this modification is the smallest - 70 kg.

All three considered models have the same working width, which ranges from 80 to 120 cm, and the processing depth is 30 cm. These types of motoblocks are designed for a small amount of work with a minimum set of the simplest non-powered attachments.

More functional is the next petrol model - BR-80 … Its capacity is 7 liters. with., this unit boasts good maneuverability, which is made possible by large pneumatic wheels. This model allows plowing not only ordinary soil, but also clay soil to a depth of 15 cm.

You can also adjust the plowing width in the range from 80 to 120 cm.

If you make a review of diesel engines, then from this series stands out heavy modification BR-135DEB , the capacity of which is 10 liters. with. However, there is also more powerful types of diesel motoblocks in 13 liters. with. (BR-135GC), 15 HP with. (BR-135GD) and 17 liters. with. (BR-135GE). Not bad and diesel BR-135GB with 9 liters. with.

But the DEB modification is, according to buyers, the optimal combination of price, quality and functionality. With its help, you can easily cultivate a plot of up to 1 hectare.

This walk-behind tractor is equipped with a 4-stroke engine with an electric starter, the battery for which is included in the kit. This unit weighs 148 kg.

This model has a power take-off shaft, which significantly expands the capabilities of the machine. In addition, more powerful and higher wheels make almost an all-terrain vehicle out of a walk-behind tractor. With the increase in power, the width of the mounted working grip also increased, which is 140 cm for this model.

Device

The internal equipment of the brand motoblocks can be viewed at an example of a BR-80 gasoline unit … This unit has an air-cooled 4-stroke engine. The gearbox of this walk-behind tractor is reinforced with cast iron.

The steering bar of the walk-behind tractor can be adjusted, and not only up and down, but also to the sides. This feature allows the unit to be used in confined spaces in a small enclosed space.

The suspension of a walk-behind tractor with an inter-wheel differential has increased maneuverability, since the wheels can rotate at different speeds, which makes it easier to turn 180 degrees. Tall tires also facilitate easy off-road driving.

Axle extensions can also be installed on the suspension, which allow you to expand the wheelbase.

This device adds stability to the machine, which is especially important when working with heavy attachments for plowing. For the possibility of installing a more diverse attachment, the design is equipped with a power take-off shaft.

For the convenience of the operator of the walk-behind tractor, an adapter can also be installed, which, in addition to a sitting place, also performs the functions of a tractor for attachments.

Attachments

Since the Brait company produces various agricultural equipment, attachments for motoblocks of this brand are widely represented on the market. To choose the required type of tool, you need to know all of its variety.

So, attachments for motoblocks of this brand:

• cutter;
• plow;
• mower;
• potato digger;
• potato planter;
• trailer (cart);
• adapter;
• snow blower;
• shovel blade;
• wheels and hooks;
• weighting materials;
• couplings.

These equipment can be conditionally divided into attachments:

• for cultivating the land;
• for transportation;
• for cleaning and improving driving performance.

In earthworks, the plow is the first assistant. There are two main types of this device - conventional and rotary. They are strikingly different in shape. The conventional plow has a simple triangular shape, while the swivel plow looks like an arrow.

Due to the peculiarity of its design, the rotary plow can not only lift clods of earth, but also break them.

Cutters also perform an important function in soil cultivation. They loosen its upper layers, thereby increasing fertility. Equipment of this type can be of two types: cultivating cutter and "crow's feet". The latter variety is designed for loosening hard soils. In addition, this attachment is very sensitive to correct assembly.

If the cutter is not assembled correctly, it may break. It is also possible to disconnect the shank, which in this case can fly off in any direction and is dangerous to the health of the operator and others.

The next important attachment is the potato planter. With this attachment, just one person can handle the planting of a crop such as potatoes alone. but the design of this unit from Brait is not equipped with a hiller that would cover the furrow after planting. From this drawback of the attachment follows the need to purchase a hiller.

The potato digger is shaped like a plow with potato pins. When the soil is opened at the planting site, the tubers are fed over the net. Such attachments make it possible to almost completely mechanize the process of planting and harvesting potatoes, as well as to reduce the time spent on this process.

The mower makes it possible to prepare animal feed and make the area neat. When planting lawn grass, this device can be adjusted to the mowing height, and the lawn will look nice and even. Due to the presence of a power take-off shaft, a rotary apparatus can be installed on a walk-behind tractor of this manufacturer.

The next group of attachments helps to re-equip the walk-behind tractor for comfortable driving and transportation of goods. An important condition for comfortable work for a long time is the ability to install an adapter - a seat for the operator, which allows you to ride a walk-behind tractor not only when installing a cart, but also during field work. This equipment is equipped with the necessary fasteners for agricultural attachments.

And, of course, no farmer can do without a trailer, which would make it easy to transport goods from the field to the house.

There are several options for their device:

• monolith with a folding back side;
• with sides that can be opened from 4 sides;
• dump truck type with high sides;
• elongated structures.

The first option is great for transporting the simplest goods such as vegetables. Trolleys that open from four sides are great for any bulk material … High-sided design - for the transport of bulky goods. It will be easy to carry boards and pipes on elongated ones.

The next type of device is especially important in winter, as it is designed for snow removal in the yard of the house, in the adjacent territories and from the paths. The snow blower of this company is simple. It consists of attachments that scoop up snow with a pulley. Further, the cold mass is fed to the rotor, which throws it at a distance of about 5 meters.

A simpler mechanical device is a shovel blade, which, thanks to its wide and high surface, set at an angle, pushes large volumes of snow in the required direction. Such a device is most convenient for clearing the road.

As for the undercarriage, the manufacturers here offer three options. The first two are tires with different treads to improve the traction of the walk-behind tractor with the soil. but if the rubber slips on dense or wet ground, then lugs can be used to speed up the movement of the unit … They, like wheels, have a round shape, but on their end part there are rectangular metal plates installed perpendicular to the surface. When moving, they deeply enter the ground and push the walk-behind tractor away from it.

There is one more device that can be used to improve the quality of the walk-behind tractor. These are weights that add the necessary weight to the equipment and can be of absolutely any shape. Most often, such a canopy is produced in the form of pancakes.

In addition to all of the above, the manufacturers have developed a special universal hitch. Now the owners of the walk-behind tractor have access to a full range of attachments from the "Kaskad" and "Neva" brands of walk-behind tractors.

Recommendations for use

It is necessary to start working with a walk-behind tractor by studying the instructions. This will help to immediately establish the correct operation of the unit. Particular attention should be paid to the scheme of the first start-up of the device and the rules of operation. By neglecting them, you can break your technique without ever using it.

So, the Brait walk-behind tractors need a run-in for 8 hours. After assembling the walk-behind tractor in accordance with the instructions in the instructions, the car must be filled with gasoline and oil, after which it is left to work for 8 hours, setting the power to only 1/3 of the maximum possible. This helps to oil all the parts inside the engine.

Very an important condition for a long and successful operation is clean high-quality fuel and timely oil change in the engine … At low loads, it is changed after 50 hours, and at overloads - after 25. In the transmission, it is changed 2 times a year.

It should be noted that the use of quality consumables plays an important role in the smooth operation of the unit.

In the event that the car starts to junk, work intermittently, there is a high probability of clogging of the carburetor. This unit must be carefully removed, blown out, wiped with gasoline and assembled … If other obvious faults occur, such as reduced driving speed, contact your dealer for service. Do not neglect it for prevention purposes.

It should be noted that the instructions from the manufacturer for the assembly of both the unit itself and the attachments, in particular, the assembly of cutters, must be carefully studied at the very beginning. This approach will help get rid of unnecessary breakdowns and, possibly, accidents.

Owner reviews

Consumers have no significant complaints about the operation of Brait walk-behind tractors. People refer to the positive aspects of this unit as low cost, high wear resistance of spare parts, absence of strong vibration during operation and excellent cross-country ability. The latter is considered a merit of the relief of the tires.

A disadvantage that can manifest itself in the course of long-term uninterrupted operation is overheating. It occurs mainly in medium-power motoblocks with a gasoline engine. This is due to an insufficiently large air cooling system. Therefore, when working with such a unit, it is worth stopping it for a few minutes to cool down.

Motoblocks Brait occupy a worthy place among the units of their class and are in demand in the agricultural sector.
