Diesel walk-behind tractor Prorab GT 120 RDKe


Technical characteristics of the foreman walk-behind tractor

The walk-behind tractor from the Foreman company consists of the following elements:

Let's look at the technical characteristics of the Foreman walk-behind tractor. The cultivator's transmission is assembled from high-quality parts and has several speeds.

On sale you can find both a diesel motor-block Foreman and a petrol one, which differ in power and performance.

The gearbox has a body thickness of 2 mm, which is 0.5 mm more than that of multicultivators of other brands.

The drive belt is made from parts from the Japanese company Fuji, which guarantees long-term operation and high performance of the equipment.

The cutters are made of spring steel, with a high blade thickness, which allows you to process any soil.

The walk-behind tractor is equipped with an electric start system, and it is possible to use attachments. The cultivator has a compact size, which makes it easier to work in various field and garden conditions. A heavy machine will not cope with many areas of the field, especially where trees grow. To solve such problems, a lightweight compact walk-behind tractor, the Foreman, was created, which can be used all year round in areas with different surfaces. Thanks to the presence of large wheels and a convenient design, the equipment moves well over loose soil, stones, and hard soil.

Motoblocks are sold with a large number of additional parts that are included in the basic package. The attachments that the company produces for multicultivators are presented:

Additional attachments are also available for sale:

  • lugs;
  • hillers;
  • potato digger;
  • harrow;
  • double or triple plow;
  • trailer;
  • cutters;
  • steel snow blade.

These parts are purchased separately by the user when the need arises to carry out certain work on the site or in the garden. A special feature of the equipment is that parts are produced. This means that every part is distinguished by quality, high performance, and excellent assembly.

pros

Of course, the main advantage, which often becomes decisive when purchasing, is the relatively affordable cost of “Foreman” walk-behind tractors. Especially in comparison with similar compact agricultural machinery of domestic production. The features and performance that Prorab offers “for the money” pleasantly surprise its new owners. Any of the presented devices copes well with cultivation, hilling, plowing and harrowing. To unlock the full potential of your equipment, it is good to purchase a mower, hiller, and potato digger.

All models of “Foreman” walk-behind tractors have a classic design that has been proven over the years and honed to optimal condition. Due to this, they are very maneuverable and easy to use. Including when used with a trolley (except for the lightest models). The “Foremen” demonstrate good cross-country ability, and the quality of the tires on the wheels is quite decent. The performance of the device increases noticeably if you use lugs. True, then any of the presented gasoline engines begins to work at the limit of their capabilities.

The Prorab diesel walk-behind tractor “drives” along the furrow.

The owner of the Prorab GT 80 RDK diesel walk-behind tractor says that for two seasons he used this device not only on his own site, but also to earn money. Cultivating the gardens of his fellow villagers with a cutter and working with a walk-behind tractor for about eight hours a day, he was satisfied with its performance and power (“Despite the fact that it is Chinese and the quality would be much better, it exceeded all my expectations”).

I liked the economical diesel fuel consumption. For a day of working with a cutter, he used only five liters of diesel fuel. Gasoline uses more fuel in the same time. I also liked the way the Prorab GT 80 RDK turns. It has rotating differentials, and when you press the lever, it turns itself. With a certain habit and dexterity, you can make this model drive independently for some time, cultivating with a cutter, and just walk next to it.

Advantages of the KAMA diesel engine

DURABLE

The diesel engine produces its thrust at low speeds, which means it eliminates increased friction and wear of parts, and saves the resource of equipment. Long service life is also ensured by the most important components made of high-strength alloys - the crankshaft, cylinder block, piston group. Such an engine, with timely maintenance, will work for many years.

ECONOMICAL

The consumption of the PRORAB GT 100 RDKE is only 380 grams per engine hour. This economical consumption is achieved again by operating at low speeds.

HARDY

Thanks to the liquid cooling system, it can work non-stop for up to 10 hours at maximum load, and during this time it is possible, for example, to mill or plant potatoes on an area of ​​4 hectares. As the owners of this model note, you’d rather get tired than the engine overheat.

ECO-FRIENDLY

A four-stroke diesel engine, compared to a two-stroke, has cleaner exhaust due to better fuel combustion, which prevents harmful elements from entering your lungs.

BALANCED DESIGN

Thanks to the optimal ratio of size, weight and shape of the PRORAB GT 100 RDKE , it was possible to reduce the physical effort of a person during work. Thanks to the correct weight distribution, in which the walk-behind tractor does not tip back and forth, the pressure on your hands is minimized during operation.

HIGH TRACTION FORCE

PRORAB GT 100 RDKE does not get stuck on any type of soil due to its high power, weight of 350 kg and large wheels with a chevron tread pattern. Such a walk-behind tractor can transport over 1000 kg of cargo in a trailer.

ENGINE IS PROTECTED FROM DUST

Even in very dusty air, the oil bath air filter reliably protects the engine from dust and moisture and ensures the longevity of the diesel engine. Polluted air first passes through a layer of oil, then through oiled foam rubber, where all unnecessary impurities remain.

ELECTRIC STARTER

PRORAB GT 100 RDKE starts easily and conveniently with the key thanks to the electric starter, but if necessary, you can start it manually using a crooked starter. A decompression valve is provided for this purpose.

WIDE SPEED RANGE

The walk-behind tractor has an 8-speed gearbox: 6 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, which allows you to choose the optimal speed: from a minimum of 2 km/h, corresponding to a slow human step, to 25 km/h. Shifting down and up gears is done manually using a special lever.

SMOOTH START

The dry disc clutch ensures a smooth start and makes gear shifting smooth and comfortable.

MANEUVERABLE LIKE A TRACK TRACTOR

PRORAB GT 100 RDKE walk-behind tractor can be rotated 360 degrees in place, for example, when moving to a new row when cultivating the soil, without making any special physical effort. Such good maneuverability is achieved by unlocking the differential wheels. By pressing the differential handles on the steering wheel of the walk-behind tractor, the operator locks the wheel on one side, while the other continues to move. Due to this, the walk-behind tractor unfolds in place. This function also makes it possible to easily turn when transporting a trailer, and allows the walk-behind tractor to be used even in limited spaces, for example, in greenhouses. The differential handles have return springs that, when the lever is released, ensure that it returns to its original position.

PTO

The PRORAB GT 100 RDKE walk-behind tractor has four power take-off options, allowing you to connect various types of attachments. The rear gear reducer is designed to connect an active rototiller, potato digger, etc. The side power take-off shaft under the key is for connecting a pump. For belt-driven attachments, one belt is used from a pulley or overrunning clutch, depending on the location of the implement being mounted.

HIGH STRENGTH MATERIALS

The walk-behind tractor frame is reinforced with special ribs, gussets and corners that prevent torsion (deformation). A significant advantage that only the Foreman small-sized agricultural machinery has is the gearbox made of cast iron alloy with the addition of QT500 graphite. This alloy is usually used for the production of elements subject to sudden changes in loads, to prevent breakage and deformation. Reinforced structures extend the life of the walk-behind tractor.

EASY TO MAINTENANCE

The drive from the engine to the gearbox in the PRORAB GT 100 RDKE is carried out using V-belts. The V-belt drive is actively used in small agricultural machinery due to its simplicity and low cost of consumables. And due to the fact that the belts in the walk-behind tractor are in constant tension from the engine, they transmit maximum power and do not slip on the pulleys.

ADJUSTING ROW SPACES

Thanks to the extended shafts and hubs, you can adjust the track of the walk-behind tractor from 52 to 70 cm. The adjustment is very simple: the fastening connections on the hubs are loosened, the wheels are installed in the desired position on the shaft and secured. Thanks to this adjustment, you can set a suitable track, which will allow you to accurately hit the row spacing when processing crops.

PLOW INCLUDED

The main features of this plow are: • adjustment of the position of the ploughshare relative to the walk-behind tractor, which allows you to plow ruts left by wheels, as well as cultivate the soil near fences and greenhouses; • adjustment of the screw on the blade, which is responsible for creating even furrows.

MILLING IS THE BEST REMEDY FOR Wheatgrass

The manufacturer warns about careful use of the Prorab GT-750 walk-behind tractor when working on slopes; a slope of up to 20° is allowed. During transportation, the machine must not be transported upside down or on its side.

More detailed information about the operating features, maintenance and preventive maintenance schedule, possible malfunctions and repairs of the Foreman GT-750 walk-behind tractor can be found in the factory operating instructions at the link:

The new Foreman walk-behind tractor should be run in, that is, a mandatory procedure must be performed during which lapping, running-in of all components and mechanisms of the unit, and calibration of the working gap occurs. First, check the presence of oil and fuel and, if necessary, add to the specified level.

The break-in procedure is carried out for 20 hours with a gradual increase in load: idle, 1/3 power, 2/3 power.

Check operation in each gear in accordance with the user manual. During this period, you must adhere to the following rules: do not work at maximum power, visually test the condition of components and mechanisms, and after every 2 hours of continuous operation, be sure to stop for 15 minutes to cool the motor.

After the first 1.5-2 hours of continuous operation, it is necessary to perform the first inspection of the Foreman walk-behind tractor to determine the technical condition of all components and mechanisms. In the future, preventive inspections are carried out every 20 hours or monthly. Upon completion of the break-in, the used oil is drained and replaced with fresh oil.

Run-in

The manufacturer recommends running in the equipment before regular use. Thus, break-in includes several steps that are easy to perform and do not take much time. In general, the entire procedure takes about 10-12 hours. During running-in, attention is paid to the technical condition of all components and assemblies, including the steering and braking systems. Running in allows the internal elements to rub against each other, and thereby adapt to specific operating conditions.

Break-in begins with refueling and adding engine oil. Then the engine starts, it should run for 30 minutes at idle speed, which should be gradually increased. It doesn’t hurt to check the clarity of the gear shift mechanism and make sure that the unit is in good working order. Then you can begin processing the soil in all possible ways - depending on what attachments are available. The main thing is that the load on the walk-behind tractor does not exceed 50% of the maximum norm.

Russia, in many ways, can be called an agricultural country. And even though, after the collapse of the Union, the growth rate of the agricultural industry slowed down a little, a number of private farms are appearing, as well as ordinary summer residents who want to grow some vegetable or fruit crops on their land.

This desire is understandable, because buying the same fresh vegetables in a store can be quite expensive, and those who own their own farms can afford this “luxury” throughout the entire summer period.

However, this requires a very large amount of work to plow the land, fertilize it and further maintain its optimal condition.

Previously, ordinary shovels or simple tools, such as a plow, were used for these purposes. Now, with the advent of automation in many industries, auxiliary devices have appeared that can significantly simplify all work on the ground.

We are talking about walk-behind tractors, which have become quite widespread recently. The units produced by , deserve special attention due to their fairly large representation on the agricultural machinery market.

Diesel models

GT 100 RDKE

The Prorab GT 100 RDKE walk-behind tractor is a professional-level model and is designed for cultivating large areas with difficult soil. Its power is enough to cultivate up to 2 hectares of land without any difficulties.

The gearbox has 6 forward speeds, allowing the walk-behind tractor to reach speeds of up to 12 km/h. The model is equipped with an electric starter, which makes starting the engine easier.

There is another model in the line, PRORAB GT 100 RDK, which differs only in the presence of manual start.

GT 120 RDKE

The Prorab GT 120 RDKE walk-behind tractor is the most powerful model from the entire range of cultivation equipment.

In addition to the economical consumption of diesel fuel by the engine, it has a power of 12 hp. Such a walk-behind tractor can easily replace a mini tractor, and the advantage will be its relatively small dimensions, ease of maintenance and wide functionality.

Description

The Prorab GT 100 RDKe walk-behind tractor is a representative of a series of powerful diesel models that are characterized by increased performance and are designed for cultivating areas of up to 2 hectares.
A 10-horsepower motor can greatly facilitate all field work.

When using cutters, cultivation will be quick and efficient even on virgin soil.

The presence of an electric starter greatly simplifies engine starting in Prorab walk-behind tractors. The Foreman 100 model has water cooling, allowing you to use the walk-behind tractor even in very hot weather and not be afraid that it will overheat.

The presence of a 6-liter fuel tank allows you to operate the cultivator for a long time without refueling. A gearbox with 2 rear speeds and 6 forward speeds allows the owner not only to work well on a separate area, but also to transport cargo up to 500 kg. over short distances.

Wide pneumatic wheels with a convex tread provide good cross-country ability even on off-road terrain. If the Foreman GT 100 RDKe walk-behind tractor starts to get stuck in soft soil, you can use lugs, which can be purchased separately.

The series includes another model, similar in technical characteristics, PRORAB GT 100 RDK, which is additionally equipped with a manual starter.

Attachments

In order to fully use all the capabilities of the presented walk-behind tractor, you can purchase additional equipment.

Using common equipment, which is presented in a wide range in the dealer network, you will significantly expand the capabilities of the walk-behind tractor:

  1. Snow plow
  2. Hay mower
  3. Rotary mower
  4. Hiller
  5. Plow
  6. Seeder
  7. Harrow
  8. Trailer, adapter or cart

Features of operation

Change of oil

To ensure that the walk-behind tractor operates for a long time without breakdowns, it is necessary to follow all the recommendations of specialists and use the oil that is suitable specifically for these models.

Manufacturers recommend using SAE 10W30 grade motor oil or its equivalents. Check before each start and after 5 hours of operation.

Important! If you operate a walk-behind tractor with a low oil level or no oil at all, the risk of engine malfunctions increases.

An immediate oil change is necessary in the following cases:

  • If you notice that the oil has changed color and become whiter or darker, this may indicate moisture in the oil.
  • When the engine overheats greatly, the oil darkens.
  • Presence of foreign impurities.

Before you start using the walk-behind tractor, you should run it in.

This is a series of actions that have a positive effect on the operation of the engine, because during the running-in process all parts are broken in, and the lubricant penetrates into all components.

The whole process takes about 8-10 hours and involves the following steps:

  1. Check fuel and oil levels. If the quantity is not enough, add more.
  2. Start the engine and leave it running at low speed for 4 hours. However, the engine cannot be constantly idling, so apply gas. It is enough to increase the speed to maximum for 20 seconds and reset.
  3. For the next 4 hours, you can use the walk-behind tractor at half its power without attachments.
  4. Upon completion of the break-in, drain the used oil and replace it with new one.

Storing the cultivator

In order for the walk-behind tractor to work without breakdowns, it is necessary to operate it correctly and also store it correctly.

By adhering to the following rules, you will ensure reliable storage of the unit and a reliable assistant for yourself for many years:

  • All oil and fuel must be drained before storage.
  • Wash the cultivator and wipe off any dirt deposits.
  • Coat all metal parts with a thin layer of lubricant.
  • Close the inlet and outlet valves.
  • Cover the walk-behind tractor with a thick cover and store in a dry, ventilated area.

Owner reviews

  • Konstantin, Perm region. I've been working with this technology for five years now, and no problems arise. I use it as a motor cultivator, because my Foreman is capable of a lot. I mainly use it for plowing areas using cutters and hillers. I work 8 hours every day, and this is how I earn my living. The 3.6-liter tank is just enough for 8 hours of operation, which is very convenient. Despite the fact that Foreman 709 is a Chinese product, it is made at a fairly high quality level. Consumes only 2 liters per hour of 92 gasoline.
  • Vladimir, Irkutsk. The experience of using the walk-behind tractor was not very pleasant. The technology pleases with excellent performance, but there are problems. For example, it is extremely inconvenient to move the wheels to different positions. Gear shifts are slow and unclear. Fuel consumption – no more than 5 liters per day.
  • Dmitry, Yaroslavl. Excellent walk-behind tractor. According to my calculations, the car consumes only 5 liters per day. Calculated in one hour, it comes out to 0.8 liters. I fill up with cheap 92nd gasoline. There is support for fuel with a lower octane number. The equipment works effectively with cutters, a plower, a potato digger, soil hooks and other attachments. Problems arise in winter. For example, the engine is not very well adapted to operating at low temperatures, which is why it starts poorly - if it’s on the fifth or sixth attempt, then consider it lucky. But the performance is at a high level. The main thing is that in winter you need to warm up the engine well before working.
  • Alexey, Magnitogorsk. I bought a Foreman GT 709 in the basic configuration, and was immediately disappointed. The kit included cutters suitable only for processing sand and light soil. As a result, I had to buy more productive analogues. Fifth gear is difficult to engage, with delays. Fuel consumption is 1 liter per hour.
  • Daniil, Lipetsk. The walk-behind tractor itself is good, but there are problems with selecting some options for it. For example, the standard wheels wore out quickly, and I had difficulty finding new analogues. The fact is that the walk-behind tractor has a hexagonal shaft, but almost all stores only had round shafts. The machine consumes 1-2 liters depending on the load.
  • Nikolay, Sochi. The Foreman 709 walk-behind tractor was purchased two years ago. I praise the technology for its great potential when processing virgin soil and other heavy types of soil. Moreover, it is possible to process it to a record depth, although for this you had to buy a ground hook. But if that doesn’t help, I use a special weighting agent. The equipment operates noisily and vibrations occur when under heavy load.
