Today, private farms use a variety of techniques to increase the efficiency of their work. Many owners of such subsidiary farms actively use motoblocks, having appreciated the advantages of this multifunctional equipment.

Among the demanded manufacturers, the Crosser trademark is popular, whose products are widely used in solving agricultural and domestic tasks.

Advantages and disadvantages

Motoblocks are quite actively used by private farmers and gardeners as a multifunctional and highly efficient technique not only in Europe, but also in the post-Soviet space. Today, such machines help to perform difficult work on the ground, and thanks to a large selection of Crosser walk-behind tractor models, proven Chinese assembly equipment can be entrusted with a number of complex tasks.

All devices of this brand are produced in China, so that walk-behind tractors are more affordable ., but despite the present skepticism towards Asian products, the models stand out for their rather powerful diesel engines, as well as a huge assortment of additional components. Another positive feature of the devices is considered to be fast operation, as well as a high level of its quality - this is evidenced by numerous reviews of the owners.

Based on the technical characteristics of the machines, it is worth noting some of the advantages of the Chinese Crosser walk-behind tractors

• The available list of models contains both light and heavy units, the mass of which can be about 250 kilograms. Such mini-tractors will prove to be indispensable helpers during the processing of virgin lands and other types of heavy soils, since they will have excellent traction with the ground, which will ensure the stability of the machine. In addition, this moment will eliminate the need to apply a lot of effort to the worker pushing the unit.
• Due to the presence of headlights on walk-behind tractors, it is possible to work with equipment even at night.
• Features of a quick start of diesel engines will make it possible to start devices at any temperature (even in severe frost), for example, for transporting cargo or clearing snow.
• In the presented line of Crosser motoblocks, there are devices with large wheels and powerful treads, which increase the maneuverability and mobility of machines (especially when driving on heavy and wet ground).

• All products are equipped with high-volume fuel tanks, so that the duration of the work shift will not depend on the fuel supply.
• For comfortable control of walk-behind tractors, all handles in the units can be adjusted in height and angle of inclination. In light of these features, anyone can work with the machines.
• Due to the multifunctionality of Chinese machines, most of the models can be used as a pump for pumping industrial water. This issue in agriculture is quite relevant in light of the availability of a large area of land for cultivation.
• Due to the presence of front and rear power take-off shafts, all Crosser walk-behind tractors can be used with various additional equipment.
• The models are equipped with a water cooling system for the engine, in light of which the diesel engine will not overheat even from continuous hours of operation.
• The entire model range stands out for its good maintainability, however, as practice shows, cases of equipment failure are extremely rare.

But despite the impressive list of advantages, the devices are not without drawbacks. In order to reduce the cost of Chinese products, many parts and parts are made of plastic - due to this feature, they become unusable much earlier than steel components.

However, this design feature is not a violation of the current standards for assembling motoblocks of European quality.

Specifications

A distinctive feature of the designs of the entire model range of Crosser walk-behind tractors is their manufacture taking into account the climatic conditions of Russia and neighboring countries. First of all, this applies to high-quality protectors, as well as a patented transmission in devices. The Chinese brand produces light and heavy equipment.

Based on this, some characteristics of the units can be distinguished:

• engine type - four-stroke gasoline or diesel with a volume of 196 cm3, 198 cm3, 296 cm3, 406 cm3;
• the power of the devices can be: 6 liters. s., 6, 5 l. s., 8 p. s., 8, 9 p. s., 9, 5 p. s., 12 p. s., 14 p. with.;
• walk-behind tractors, as a rule, have two forward and two reverse gears of speeds, but in some units the number of rear gears can be large;
• the capacity of the fuel tank is 3.6 liters, 5 liters, 5.5 liters, 12 liters;
• weight varies between 80-250 kilograms.

More detailed information regarding the technical capabilities and configuration of models is presented in the instructions that are attached to each device.

Models

The Chinese manufacturer offers consumers a large selection of motoblock models. It is worth dwelling on the most demanded devices.

Crosser CR-M1

The unit belongs to the class of heavy equipment, which is capable of performing a wide range of tasks. A positive feature of the model is the presence of a gear reducer, which is responsible for the power and performance of the device. The mass of the walk-behind tractor is 82 kilograms. The machine operates in 2 forward and one reverse gears. Engine power is 6.5 liters. with.

Crosser CR-M12E

This technique stands out for its weight and performance, since the mass of the walk-behind tractor is 235 kilograms. The water cooling system prevents the motor from overheating, so that the walk-behind tractor can be safely used for long and heavy work on the ground. In the basic configuration for the device, the manufacturer offers a rotary tiller, a seat for an employee, and a plow. The model runs on a diesel engine, thereby reducing the level of noise and vibration during operation. The unit is capable of moving at a speed of 18 km / h. Engine power is 12 hp. sec., the size of the fuel tank is 5.5 liters.

Crosser CR-M9

The motoblock belongs to professional agricultural machinery, due to which the device is recommended for working with land, the area of which can be about 4-5 hectares. To ensure uninterrupted operation, as well as to correctly and quickly start the machine, the designers additionally equipped the unit with a decompressor. Despite its impressive weight - 140 kilograms - the walk-behind tractor does not make too much noise during tasks.

The device can be used for the transport of goods , it is possible to use attachments in the form of a trailer; if desired, the additional element can be quickly replaced and another working part installed. The engine power is 9 liters. sec., the volume of the fuel tank is 5.5 liters.

Crosser CR-M8

The unit is recommended for processing all types of soil, including virgin soil, water cooling contributes to long-term operation. The mass of the machine is within 230 kilograms - due to this feature, the walk-behind tractor efficiently processes the land, but for this purpose it will be necessary to install a cutter or other components.
