The machines are designed for processing small plots of land. Users claim that it is most effective to use Agates in dachas up to 10 acres in size. Versatility is provided by a variety of attachments, which can be purchased separately based on your own needs. The manufacturer produces six modifications of walk-behind tractors, which allows you to choose the most optimal option for your existing needs. A distinctive feature is ease of operation. The designers of the machine placed the center of gravity below the average level of a person’s knees, which makes it easy for even women and teenagers to operate the unit. For ease of transportation and storage, the process of removing wheels and steering arms has been simplified. When disassembled, the equipment easily fits in the trunk of a car. One adult man can disassemble and put the walk-behind tractor into the car. Maintenance does not require special knowledge; the attached instructions contain detailed explanations and instructions. The walk-behind tractors are equipped with single-cylinder, four-stroke carburetor engines produced by leading companies in Japan, the USA and China. The use of imported power units increased the reliability and performance of machines. Walk-behind tractors have proven themselves well in the North and hot regions, which expands the scope of their application. Spare parts for walk-behind tractors are sold through dealers and online stores throughout the country. Reliable engine starting systems allow you to start even at low temperatures. Components and spare parts for the walk-behind tractor are of domestic production, which affects the cost of both the product itself and maintenance. The KV-2 assembly module produced for the Agat line deserves special attention. The module is assembled within 15 minutes. As a result, the walk-behind tractor is transformed into a four-wheeled mini-tractor, to which you can attach additional accessories - a trailer-trolley, a blade-blade, a hiller. The module is compatible with all modifications of the walk-behind tractor; the resulting vehicle does not require registration and can be operated without special permits.

Kinds

The main distinguishing factor between the models is the engine design and its performance. All other details are almost the same.

The machine-building plant cooperates with world leaders in the production of power units, among which are brands such as Subaru, Honda, Lifan, Lianlong, Hammerman and Briggs & Stratton. These brands produce reliable products that operate on different types of fuel. Depending on this parameter, the walk-behind tractor can be gasoline or diesel.

Gasoline engines are especially popular because they are affordable.
Diesel devices are more reliable and have a longer service life.

Today the plant produces several Agat models.

Construction design and components

The main elements of the walk-behind tractor are given below.

The supporting frame, which consists of two reinforced steel angles. All operating components and the control system, in particular, the gearbox, protective structures, engine, steering wheel or control levers, are mounted on it using bolts and brackets.
Transmission.
The clutch is carried out by a V-belt drive via a tension roller. The clutch system also includes elements such as control levers, a belt and a return spring. The simplicity of the design ensures the reliability of the entire system.
Gear reducer, oil-filled, housing made of aluminum. Gear connections increase transmission reliability. Gearbox with three-speed gearbox.

Since the task of this element is related to providing uninterrupted torque, it is filled with oil to reduce friction. To ensure the tightness of the connections, an oil seal is required, which sometimes requires replacement. As a rule, almost all models have “reverse gear”, which means that they are equipped with a reverse gearbox.

The engine can be imported gasoline or diesel. If desired, the engine can be replaced with a domestic one. The cheapest option among foreign ones is the Chinese Lifan engine.
A chassis in the form of an axle shaft is necessary for the movement of the walk-behind tractor. Sometimes the manufacturer installs pneumatic wheels, which are required to improve cross-country ability. Their wide treads increase traction. Caterpillars are also used for these purposes. The package usually includes a pump. The stability of the device is ensured by wheel locks in the form of a folding stop.
A hitch is an element for attaching attachments.

Canopies. Additional attachments are available for the walk-behind tractor, increasing the functionality of the equipment and allowing it to perform various actions. The most common options are presented below.
Plow. For initial digging of the ground or during autumn plowing, when the soil is dense and grasped by plant roots, it is better to give preference to a reversible plow rather than cutters, since it goes deeper into the soil and turns the layer over with the top layer down. This is necessary so that the roots dry out and freeze in winter.

The procedure makes it easier to cultivate the land in the spring.

Milling cutters. Cultivators, as a rule, are included in the standard equipment of the Agat brand apparatus. With their help, the device not only cultivates the soil, but also moves. Unlike a plow, cutters do not damage the fruiting layer, but only soften and saturate it with oxygen. The nozzles are made of hardened steel and come in three-leaf and four-leaf types.

"Crow's feet." This is a front adapter for attachments. The device is a seat on wheels, which is connected to a walk-behind tractor via a hitch. It is required to provide some comfort to the operator during operation. It is advisable to use the device when processing large plots of land.
Mower. The most popular among attachments is the Zarya lawn mower. It is equipped with a rotary mechanism. With its help, a lawn is formed, hay is harvested, and individual small bushes are cut out. Positive aspects include the ability of the equipment not only to mow grass, but also to lay it, as well as the resistance of the unit to stones getting under the scythe during operation.

Lugs. Plowing, hilling and weeding of beds is a standard set of actions for this type of attachment. As a rule, they are used in combination with other attachments: a plow, a potato planter or a hiller. The lugs not only loosen the ground, but also move the walk-behind tractor.
Dump. The canopy is a wide shovel that can be used to remove snow and large debris. The snowmobile attachment is adapted to low temperatures.

The rotary brush is convenient for cleaning the area - it can be used to sweep up remaining snow or remove small debris. It is quite tough, so it easily removes ice and frozen dirt.
An auger snow blower is indispensable for cleaning garden paths or local areas. The snow blower is able to cope even with compacted snowdrifts, throwing snow up to three meters.

Mechanized devices for planting and harvesting potatoes. The potato digger allows you to dig up root crops and lays them out in rows as you move. The planter has a more complex structure and helps ensure that tubers are planted in even rows to the required depth. In addition, manufacturers equipped the device with an additional unit for applying fertilizers to the soil.
Trailer. In order to transport piece or bulk cargo, it is enough to attach a trolley to the motor cultivator.

Manufacturers produce trailers of different carrying capacities, with varying degrees of automation of the unloading process: manual or mechanized.

During plowing, additional weighting agents are installed on the cutters and plow, which allow digging to the required depth on dense soils.

Tractor module. In addition to separate attachments, the KV-2 assembly module can be attached to the walk-behind tractor, thanks to which the device turns into a multifunctional mini-tractor. The resulting vehicle does not require registration.

Main technical characteristics of the Agat tractor module:

fuel - gasoline or diesel;
manual type of engine start (with a key);
transmission – manual shift gearbox;
rear drive.

Tracked module. The tracked attachment will make the walk-behind tractor passable like an all-terrain vehicle.
The all-terrain module "KV-3" for the Agat walk-behind tractor is equipped with caterpillar tracks with triangular tracks, allowing for good movement in snow-covered areas and off-road conditions.
The motorized towing vehicle is quite easy to assemble; the caterpillar tracks are mounted on wheels with shock absorbers.

The structure of the Agat walk-behind tractor

Domestic products belong to the category of classic walk-behind tractors with a power take-off shaft.

The units are designed for year-round use.

The operating instructions for the Agat L 6.5 walk-behind tractor contain a mention that diesel engines may have difficulty starting in the winter.

All versions of the Agat brand walk-behind tractor have the same device:

Highly durable frame. A reinforced steel angle is used for its manufacture. Fastening of brackets for protective wings, supports, power unit, steering column, gearbox and other components is carried out using bolts and nuts.
Transmission. Consists of a clutch and gearbox. The gearbox is located in an aluminum housing filled with oil. The clutch includes a V-belt, control handle, tension roller and return spring. The transmission is highly reliable and can withstand extreme loads.
Power point. The plant equips its products with motors made in Japan, China and America. The products are equipped with gasoline and diesel power plants. If necessary, they can be replaced with domestically manufactured engines.
Chassis. They are a powerful axle shaft mounted on the frame. At the request of the customer, an axle shaft with a release mechanism can be installed on the product. This allows the unit to be deployed with a turning radius of up to 100 cm. The manufacturer installs pneumatic wheels 10 cm wide and 25 cm in diameter on its products. To work on soft ground, they can be replaced with larger wheels. The unique tread pattern provides good traction with the ground and self-cleaning of dirt accumulated in the grooves.
Hitch. This is a device for attaching to the Agat BS 1, L6 walk-behind tractor and other models of various mounted and trailed equipment.
Controls. They include a steering column, adjustable steering wheel and levers. To give the unit a stable position during stopping and storage, a folding stop is attached to it, which can be replaced with a third wheel.

The KV 2 layout module for the Agat walk-behind tractor allows you to significantly expand the functionality and efficiency of all models of these small agricultural machines. Their versatility is achieved through the use of additional options.

How to choose?

Before choosing a mechanized assistant for agricultural work, you should carefully analyze all available information. This is necessary to clearly understand whether the specified motorcycle equipment is suitable for the land or not.

First of all, it is worth considering options depending on engine power. If the soil is very dense or virgin, then you should choose a device with maximum power.

Then you need to consider the type of engine depending on the fuel it runs on. It all depends on the region and the availability of a particular type. As a rule, a gasoline engine is cheaper, but a diesel engine is reliable, so you should evaluate the benefits in both cases.

Another criterion is fuel consumption. It depends on the power of the walk-behind tractor. For example, an engine with a power of 3 to 3.5 liters. With. consumes 0.9 kg of gasoline per hour, while a more powerful analogue consumes 6 liters. With. – 1.1 kg. However, it should be remembered that low-power units will spend much more time cultivating the land, therefore, fuel economy savings are questionable.

Also, when purchasing, you need to pay attention to the design features of the gearbox. It can be collapsible or non-collapsible. The latter is designed for a longer service life, but if it fails, it is not repaired, but replaced with a new one. In addition, a distinction is made between gearboxes with chain and gear drives.

Based on practice, experts advise taking the latter, as it is reliable.

The hitch for canopies can be individual for each equipment or universal, suitable for any attachment.

has a wide dealer network, so before purchasing the walk-behind tractor itself or its components, it is advisable to consult with the seller. This can be done in specialized retail outlets or on the Internet. They will answer all your questions, give advice or select a model according to the criteria.

User manual

The model's operating instructions must be included in the package of the walk-behind tractor. It is recommended that you study it carefully before starting work. Typically, this document contains the following sections.

The structure of the device, its assembly.
Run-in instructions (first start). The section contains recommendations on how to start the walk-behind tractor for the first time, as well as points that contain information on checking the operation of moving parts at low load.
Technical characteristics of a specific modification.
Tips and recommendations for further maintenance and upkeep of the device. Here you can find information on changing oil, seals, lubrication and inspection of parts.
List of common types of breakdowns, causes of their occurrence and solutions, partial repairs.
Safety requirements when working with a walk-behind tractor.
The addresses where you can return the cultivator for warranty repairs are also usually indicated.

Care Tips

The first 20-25 hours of operation are called running in the walk-behind tractor. At this time, you cannot arrange overloads. The functionality of all units of the unit is checked at low power.

During the running-in period, the idle speed should be adjusted, but you need to ensure that the walk-behind tractor does not operate in this mode for more than 10 minutes.

Even if the motor-cultivator is not completely new, but was simply taken out before spring plowing after winter “hibernation,” you must first break it in and check the level of all fluids. Often, after a long period of inactivity, equipment requires an oil change.

You should also inspect the spark plugs and change them if necessary. Set up the ignition system.

Carburetor adjustment is necessary after a long period of inactivity. The new mechanism also requires this. The inspection will help identify defects and eliminate them before field work begins.

Detailed instructions for setting up and adjusting the carburetor are given in the product documentation.

Proper preparation of the cultivator is the key to effective actions in the future, so you need to practice in advance and solve the following issues:

how to set up a furrower or plow correctly;
what attachments are needed for;
what to do if the engine stalls;
at what power and to what depth can the soil be plowed?

Low-power walk-behind tractors with a capacity of 5 liters. With. cannot be used for a long time during break-in. In addition, when using them, performance should be taken into account and they should not be overloaded, otherwise they will quickly fail.
