Mini-tractors "Fighter": features and tips for choosing

Mini-tractors "Fighter" have the technical characteristics of a full-fledged agricultural machine. The features of the attachments allow you to plant plants, till the soil, and harvest. Mini-tractors have proven themselves positively in public utilities as well.

Small-sized agricultural machinery is actively sold due to:

• low cost;
• manufacturer's warranty obligations;
• quality service;
• constant availability of spare parts.

Mini-tractor "Fighter" is distinguished by other worthy characteristics.

• Significant savings in the fuel mixture.
• The presence of a two-position gearbox. It makes it possible to effectively use all the parameters of the engine.
• Expanded ability to use attachments. It comes from a powerful cylinder with a maximum stroke.

The disadvantages of a mini-tractor are reduced to operational characteristics.

• A small generator does not fully charge the battery. This is inconvenient when operating equipment in winter.
• Due to the light weight, the machine is likely to tip over. There are simply no ballast weights in the package.
• Due to poor adhesion, the drive pair of wheels gives a slip on loose soils.

The hydraulic system has a low productivity resource. In case of untimely maintenance, its breakdown leads to the complete inoperability of the equipment.

The technical component of mini-machines allows them to be classified as a universal class of equipment. All technical components are the development of a Chinese manufacturer.

For example, model "Fighter" T-15 it is characterized by an improved power unit, the engine life is good. The design uses high-quality clutches, improved carrying capacity. Without attachments, the dimensions of the machine are comparable to a small walk-behind tractor: 214 * 90 * 117 cm.The total weight of the unit is 410 kg, and the distance from the engine to the road is 18 cm.

The technique shows excellent maneuverability in confined spaces. The engine of the model is diesel single-cylinder, motor resource - 15 liters. with. and volume - 993 liters.

Another popular model is "Fighter" T-18... This unit is equipped with an 18 hp S1100 engine. with. The car has an improved gearbox. The weight of the unit is 630 kg, the permissible milling cutter is 140 cm. The equipment is equipped with a differential lock, which is supplied to full-fledged tractors. A three-position valve is provided for hydraulics. There are two modes to control the technique - fixed or free. The large wheels of this tractor make it easy to move around the plow. The diesel engine can easily cope with heavy loads.

Option T-22 in comparison with the previous ones it differs in greater endurance. The ZS1115 engine provides 20 hp. with., differs in a cylinder of 11 cm, a piston stroke of 12 cm, a volume of 1115 cm cube. The gearbox differential is planetary here.One of the drive wheels can rotate in the opposite direction, blocking movement during too heavy work. The hydraulics provide high-quality ascent, descent, braking. The seat and track of the tractor are variable.

Special sheds of the mini-tractor allow the use of a mass of attachments. Among the examples, the most commonly used spare parts are:

• seeder;
• rake;
• cultivator;
• plow;
• harrow;
• sprayers;
• potato planters;
• mowers;
• brushes;
• tillers.

The work of additional equipment directly depends on the power take-off shaft. The type of this device on mini-tractors "Fighter" is independent, with two speeds and mechanical control. The lower the number of revolutions - 540 per minute, the larger - 1176.

For example, the weight of the attachment with the supplied rotary tiller is 24 kg. A tractor equipped with a hitch produces a processing speed of 2-7 km / h. The depth of tillage is 12-17 cm, and the width of the row is 120 cm. This makes it possible to plow both large areas (from 1 to 10 hectares), as well as a small field of 20 hectares.

Any technique needs respect. This will help to avoid operational failures and, hence, costly repairs. Preventive examinations will also extend the operational period. But even with a competent approach to servicing a tractor, a number of troubles can occur, which can be divided into groups related to engine or component malfunctions. Knowing the main signs, you can find out and eliminate the cause yourself.

For example, if the tractor does not start:

• the reason may be the presence of air in the tank;
• abrasion of the components of the fuel system;
• valve problems;
• starter breakdown;
• improper operation of the piston system.

Inspection of each of the systems involves a strict sequence of actions. You need to test each system separately with special professional devices. This is the only way to identify and eliminate possible malfunctions.

For example, adjusting the clutch allows the link length to be set correctly. This will ensure that the lever travels smoothly and that the release bearing works properly. An important point in this work is the adjustment of the clutch clearances. The optimum value between the heads and the clutch release bearing legs is 0.3-0.5 mm.

If the tractor gets very hot during operation, possible reasons may be:

• unsuitable oil;
• coolant leak;
• damaged valves and gaskets;
• clogged filters;
• exceeding the permissible loads.

Poor lubrication and overloading of the machine lead to premature wear of the working parts of the tractor. If oil is leaking, there may be wear on the component pistons.

"Fighter" is the development of Chinese engineers. The company manufactures equipment for sale in Russia, Belarus, Estonia, Moldova. The technique is inexpensive, known for its quality, allows the use of a variety of attachments.

When choosing, first of all, you need to decide on your own goals. For example, mini tractor can be useful in:

• cleaning tracks from snow;
• agricultural work;
• processing of voluminous lawns.

Important are the advantages of Chinese tractors, such as:

• price;
• reliability;
• availability and variety of spare parts;
• easy control.

The most popular type of equipment for clearing snow from an area is a dump shovel. It can be rear-mounted or front-mounted. For the operation of the device, there are enough traction hydraulic cylinders, which are supplied to all versions of the "Fighter". The required power for the equipment is approximately 18 liters. with.

For other work, any version of the technical device is suitable. The basic package includes a rotary tiller. All other hinges will have to be purchased. The equipment does not have to be branded. Variants of Belarusian production, products of other Chinese firms are perfectly matched with devices.

Each copy of the Fighter is supplied with an operating manual required for the job. The document contains all the information about the technical features and rules for the use of technology. There is a photo of the assembly, as well as possible dates of technical inspections. The first mandatory recommendation for all models is running in. It is needed so that the engine parts are lubricated and rubbed against each other.

Without running-in, increased friction will appear, which leads to a possible failure of the motor.

Observance of safety precautions is recommended for any work on the tractor. For example, servicing involves a mandatory check of the fuel and oil level. Also, the rules include a mandatory check for the serviceability of the steering wheel and brakes. The hydraulic drive must work with the correct settings, and there must be no extraneous noise from the engine.

Air and fuel filters also require periodic inspection and cleaning. They quickly become clogged with debris, and untimely maintenance leads to malfunctions in the entire system.

Mini-tractors "Fighter" are popular, and therefore become a frequent subject of discussion in various forums. The resources accumulate different opinions of the owners. Users note such advantages of technology as:

• price and extended configuration;
• excellent assembly and confident hydraulic drive;
• economical fuel consumption.

Other customers who bought "Fighter" do not mention the advantages at all, but refer to such disadvantages as:

• disgusting build;
• the need to refine some elements, for example, belts;
• factory defects of chains;
• excessive softness of the checkpoint.

Of all the versions, the T-15 mini-tractor gained particular popularity. He fulfills the season with high quality without breakdowns. There are no problems with attachments. The tractor shows consistent power when driving on plowing. All characteristics declared by the manufacturer correspond to the nominal values.

Of the minuses of the T-15, a low-power battery and the absence of a safety arc are noted.
