Types and their technical characteristics

The Tarpan cultivators rolled off the assembly line almost three decades ago thanks to the latest engineering developments of the time. Tula developers were engaged in the release of cars. However, the attempts of the designers to make a worthy replacement for the "Rus" walk-behind tractors at first were not crowned with success, since the devices during the implementation turned out to be unprofitable.

However, this did not stop domestic designers, and as a result of small upgrades concerning the cultivator engine, or rather, its replacement with an American Briggs & Stratton unit, domestic devices have become quite in demand in Europe and the post-Soviet space.

Attachments

The main purpose of the entire series of Tarpan cultivators is to plow the land in a mechanized way, therefore, without additional equipment, the capabilities of the cultivator will be significantly limited. However, the manufacturer offers adaptations for various tasks that will improve the unit and expand its capabilities. The Russian cultivator can work both with the attachment and with other home-made equipment.

To have the most complete picture of the capabilities of the Tarpan cultivators, you should consider options for attachments that can be used in conjunction with the device.

Mowers

Both rotary and cordless types of equipment are compatible with the machines. Therefore, each buyer can choose the most acceptable functional unit for himself.

Lugs

As a rule, Tarpan cultivators are equipped with a collapsible inventory of standard dimensions - 275 * 11 mm, the diameter of the sleeve is 25.5 mm.

Milling cutter

In the basic configuration, two pairs of milling cutters are usually supplied to the above modifications of cultivators, but in the course of active operation, as well as in order to improve the device, it is recommended to purchase also rotary parts, which will turn out to be more reliable and powerful during soil cultivation. This type of inventory can be three-petal or four-petal.

For equipment, you can take active elements or a version of cutters with "crow's feet". It is quite possible to make the last type of working tool yourself and install it on a cultivator.

Hillers for soil

This tool is quite in demand during the period of planting and caring for crops. To protect the plants, the hillers are additionally equipped with special discs, and the configuration itself presupposes the presence of several skeletons that are fixed to the dump.

Reversible plow

Such a tool is analogous to milling cutters, since it perfectly copes with the task of plowing heavy and dense soils. As a rule, the part is fixed to the rear of the cultivator; to increase productivity, many farmers additionally equip cultivators with lugs.

Potato digger

A useful piece of equipment appreciated by many gardeners. Such a tool allows harvesting without manual labor, which increases the quality of work, and also significantly reduces the time required for harvesting root crops in large areas.

The main advantage of using this equipment is the absence of spoiled and cut vegetables, which quite often happens when using a regular shovel.

Hitch

An irreplaceable accessory that secures the necessary tools to the cultivator. There are several options for this part: rotary or straight model. The first option will be more convenient and maneuverable in the course of agricultural work.

Frame with wheels

Such equipment is necessary for heavy equipment, or rather, for its transportation to the place of the forthcoming work. After delivery, the frame can be very quickly uncoupled and the cultivator can be used in conjunction with mounted or trailed equipment.

Shovel blade

This tool can be used in winter to remove snow from the area or to level the soil on the ridges.

Snow blower

An excellent alternative to a shovel would be equipment capable of throwing snow up to 5 meters. The base of such useful equipment can be a shaft equipped with blades, a blade, or a large brush. Some owners of the Tarpan cultivator equip the unit with similar hand-made equipment, which does not affect the power of the device in any way.

Choice

As for devices operating from the mains, this manufacturer offers models with a two-stroke or four-stroke engine. Such units are very convenient in terms of operation and maintenance, do not require regular refueling and oil changes in the engine. To start working with the cultivator, it will be enough to connect it to the power source.

During the selection of equipment, it should be borne in mind that such units are recommended for working with small areas of land. As a rule, models have a rather long cord that will not hamper movement during the processing of the working area. Such devices also have disadvantages. First of all, this concerns the risk of electric shock during careless handling of the tool.

Gasoline devices will stand out with more complex maintenance. In addition, such cultivators, due to the peculiarities of the carburetor and the engine, will emit many times more noise during the performance of tasks on the ground.In order for the unit to function, it needs not only oil, but also fuel. It is recommended to pour only good 92 and 95 gasoline into the cultivator, additionally mixing it with oil.

However, these devices also have disadvantages. Quite often, during operation, the owners of cultivators incorrectly verify the proportions of oil and gasoline for refueling, during which all attempts to increase the speed and productivity of the equipment lead to the fact that the cultivator's engine starts to work intermittently. As a result, the wear of moving parts increases, and it may be necessary to replace the stuffing box. In addition, carbon deposits will accumulate in the mechanism; it will be necessary to additionally adjust the valve in the device. Therefore, many owners advise to give preference to two-stroke engines, which will be easier to maintain. But such cultivators will consume more fuel.

As for the choice of cultivators from the class of light devices, then in this case it is necessary to determine the tasks that the device will need to perform, since not every unit has enough power to handle heavy types of soil. In this matter, the configuration of the cutters in the device is of fundamental importance. It is also worth paying attention to the working width of the unit. As a rule, this feature can be corrected by rearranging the cutters.

When selecting heavy cultivators, it is worth focusing on the engine model, as well as the possibility of using additional equipment to expand functionality, since heavy equipment is usually purchased for a wide range of agricultural tasks.

User manual

After the acquisition, Tarpan cultivators will need preliminary running-in. To do this, check the ignition coil, then refuel the device or connect it to the mains, then operate it without using additional equipment at medium speed during the day.

After running in gasoline units, the oil from the tank will need to be drained. Pouring a new portion of the fuel mixture is possible only if the engine is still warmed up.

Owner reviews

Cultivators "Tarpan" are positioned as a powerful and durable technique, even with the purchase of devices with an Asian brand of engine. However, you should get used to operating the machine, as the device requires constant monitoring by the owner in light of its performance. During operation, the cultivators stand out for their rather economical fuel consumption.

Electric models are quite popular, which are practically not inferior in their power to gasoline counterparts.
