All about the range of Oka walk-behind tractors

General information, purpose and design features

Oka MB 1d1m10 is designed to perform a wide range of tasks. The enormous potential of the equipment allows it to be used as a motor cultivator. In addition, the walk-behind tractor is widely in demand in farming and public utilities. For rational and universal use of the Oka MB-1d1m10 it has balanced characteristics. In particular, the developers endowed the machine with optimal weight, enviable endurance, unpretentiousness and high performance, as well as an improved gearbox.

Please note that the MB-1DM10 modification, like the rest of the MB family of vehicles, is equipped with modern power plants and options that meet all international safety and environmental standards. For example, the design of a walk-behind tractor uses parts made of wear-resistant alloys. This feature has a positive effect on the reliability of the device even during continuous operation. As a result, it was possible to achieve smoother and quieter operation of the walk-behind tractor.

The equipment is equipped with devices that guarantee its safe and convenient transportation over long distances. In addition, thanks to advanced technologies, the walk-behind tractor will delight the owner with high fuel efficiency.

It is worth noting that the Oka 1D1M10 model is the best option for farmers and other business executives living in the private sector. The walk-behind tractor is optimized for cultivating any type of soil, including virgin soil with dense clay. Moreover, due to additional options, the machine is capable of plowing soil to a record depth of over 300 mm. At the same time, the processing width can reach 90 cm. Such outstanding performance was achieved largely thanks to the heavy frame structure, as well as cutters with a diameter of 330 mm.

Gear shifting is carried out by a 4-speed transmission, which has two gears for forward and reverse. Interestingly, in first gear you can reach 3.6 km/h, and in second gear you can reach 9 km/h. The design of the gearbox is complicated by such elements as a chain gearbox and V-belt drive. It is these two units that serve as a means of transmitting torque from the engine to the wheels.

The drive wheels of the walk-behind tractor are equipped with pneumatic tires, and to improve traction when towing or plowing, the developers installed a ballast weight, which increases stability and increases productivity, for example, when cultivating the soil to great depths.

The design of the walk-behind tractor is reinforced with a cylindrical pin located at the front. A trailer bracket is installed at the rear, designed to securely attach attachments. However, for some types of options, special mounting is provided. For example, to connect a plow, a device is used that combines a gear mechanism with a latch and a handle.

The walk-behind tractor control system is simple and concise. Rubber handles are mounted on tubular steering rods, and a special lever embedded in the right rod controls the throttle valve. In this case, two levers are installed on the left rod, activating forward and reverse gear after selecting the appropriate position in the gearbox. Device dimensions – 1500x600x1050 mm. A nice feature is the adjustable steering column. Compact dimensions provide quiet and smooth operation, as well as good maneuverability in tight spaces or when passing obstacles.

Which walk-behind tractor is better: “Hoper” or “Oka”

To judge whether Khoper or Oka is better, you need to carefully study the characteristics of these two units and ask for feedback from the owners of this equipment. Let's start with the fact that “Khoper” is a Chinese analogue of “Oka”, similar both in characteristics and in appearance

• Ground hook

The most common types of attachments are presented. These attachments allow you to use the device at any time of the year, regardless of the season. The walk-behind tractor effectively processes household plots and garden plots with an area of ​​up to 20 acres. They can also efficiently mow grass, pump water, make hay, or simply sweep sidewalks quickly and efficiently.

Already the basic equipment of the Oka MB-1DM10 model includes screw fastenings for options, cutters (2 pcs), wheel extension, spare belts and nuts for screw fastenings.

Tips for choosing

The decisive factor when choosing a walk-behind tractor, as always, is its power. The fact is that it depends on it whether the device will be able to plow virgin soil, or whether it is only capable of working on already improved land. Of course, the structure of the soil also plays a role. To solve a wide range of problems, experts recommend models with power take-off shafts

Important: if the main job is milling the earth, you need to choose a lighter machine

Chain gearboxes are recommended for light and medium walk-behind tractors. Worm drive options are used much less frequently, and only on the lightest machines. When it comes to motors, one of the best products is from . These are first-class products that are much more advanced than Russian products, and are no worse adapted to local conditions. Japanese engines are the highest quality, but they are the most expensive.

Options

Let's pay attention to the main technical components of the Oka MB-1DM10 walk-behind tractor:

• Engine
• checkpoint
• Chassis
• Hitch

As for performance, the Chinese Lifan LF168F-2 OHV engine is responsible for it in this walk-behind tractor. The power plant is manufactured in China and delivered to a Russian plant for subsequent assembly. The motor is quite reliable and unpretentious. It is cheap to maintain and is perhaps considered the most reliable part of the walk-behind tractor.

The engine is single-cylinder, 4-stroke, runs on gasoline and is equipped with an air cooling system. Before considering the specifications, we will highlight its important advantages: easy starting under any temperature conditions, absence of strong noise and vibrations, durable cast-iron construction, omnivorous use of fuel of any quality, quick start thanks to electronic ignition.

The power plant with a volume of 0.2 liters develops 6.5 horsepower. The fuel tank capacity reaches 3.7 liters. The oil change interval is 30 hours. It is recommended to fill in mineral oil grades M53/10G1 and M63/12G. This oil has proven itself in servicing carburetors.

Installing and replacing belts

The belts are removed manually by loosening the adjusting bolt. Belts are replaced with similar ones that are suitable in width and length. It is advisable to purchase spare parts, incl. and belts, in stores of branded spare parts for walk-behind tractors. Such stores work directly with manufacturers.

Video review of replacing walk-behind tractor belts:

How do you know whether to tighten the belt?

If you press down on the belt with your hand, it should only flex slightly when pressed. If they sag, the engine will hum, and blue smoke may even appear from overheating. Worn belts recessed into the belt cells need to be replaced. First, remove the nuts holding the belt frame together. Next, use the adjusting bolt to tighten the belts, periodically checking the tension manually.

The same manipulations are carried out after installing new belts in order to regulate them.

Prices in Russia

As of the beginning of 2020, the cost of the model on the Russian market was between 27 and 35 thousand rubles, depending on the configuration. I must admit that this is one of the cheapest walk-behind tractors. Therefore, many people prefer to buy equipment immediately with additional equipment. However, the total cost with it may exceed 40 thousand rubles.

As an alternative, we can recommend used copies in good condition. The price of such machines fluctuates around 15-20 thousand rubles.

For the sake of fairness, it must be admitted that the Oka MB-1D1M10 walk-behind tractor is assembled from cheap and simple components, because it is thanks to them that it was possible to achieve such a low price, but not at the expense of performance. This allows the walk-behind tractor to compete with famous analogues. In particular, the closest competitor to the model in question is the Ugra NMB, which is also equipped with a Chinese engine. This is a more advanced, but at the same time more expensive model.

Operation of Oka walk-behind tractors

The models are easy to use and do not require special skills to operate them.
To expand their functionality, a variety of attachments are used. You can repair walk-behind tractors yourself, and spare parts for them are freely available.
At the same time, when using devices, you should follow the rules for working with them in order to avoid major damage. Today, Oka walk-behind tractors are among the most popular. They are distinguished by high quality work, functionality and affordable cost, so they can easily compete with models from other brands.

Owner reviews

• Alexey, Magnitogorsk. Overall I’m happy with the machine, it’s been working like clockwork for three years now. I use it 8-10 hours a day with almost no breaks. The equipment copes well with plowing 30 acres. At the same time, the walk-behind tractor quickly and thoroughly processes the soil, and thanks to soil hooks and weighting agents, the weight can be increased, which is very convenient when digging to great depths. I would also like to draw your attention to the low fuel consumption – about 2 liters per hour. There is support for 92 gasoline. Moreover, the documentation says that the engine can digest even the lowest quality fuel, although I didn’t take any risks. The equipment is used together with a mower, trailer, seeder and other attachments. About two months ago, corrosion began to appear on the bottom of the hull. I try to service the car in a timely manner so that later there are no problems with reliability.
• Denis, Moscow region. The Oka MB 1D1M10 walk-behind tractor has been in my use for about six years. Before this, the car was used by my father, who properly modified this trough to avoid frequent breakdowns. Imported parts have now been installed, and as a result, leaks, vibrations and noise have disappeared. Sound insulation is now at a decent level. Fuel consumption is 2 liters per hour.
• Kirill, Leningrad region. An excellent machine for quickly and efficiently processing my 20 acres. I have my own garage, I maintain it myself. Spare parts are inexpensive, and I would really like them to provide the walk-behind tractor with a long, long life.
• Sergey, Stavropol region. I purchased an Oka MB1D1M10 in 2020. A year of operation was enough to appreciate all the “advantages” of this walk-behind tractor. I would like to note right away that the equipment is assembled from cheap Chinese parts, which, to put it mildly, are not adapted to Russian conditions. Because of this, frequent breakdowns occur in the gearbox, transmission, chassis and even the engine. By the way, the motor itself is from the Lifan company. It must be admitted that despite the breakdowns, it is the engine that is the most reliable link of this walk-behind tractor. Because compared to the engine, everything else is junk. I decided to change the components to imported analogues, which are more expensive, but at the same time they are more reliable. I left the engine, it is more or less normal, and also economical - it consumes 1-2 liters per hour.
• Leonid, Ekaterinoslavl. I got the car from my father, he taught me how to drive and maintain it. The equipment plows, plants and transports loads efficiently. In terms of reliability, it is no better than Chinese walk-behind tractors - I looked at the reviews because I wanted to buy a new model, but in the end I decided not to. Oka MB 1D1M10 consumes from 1 to 3 liters of gasoline.
• Garik, Simferopol. A walk-behind tractor for all occasions, it works quietly and has not rusted for six months. All components and mechanisms are in good condition. Works well off-road. The device is easy to control and turn around in one place.

Features of care

Experts recommend, of course, to use only officially supplied original spare parts. To improve the operation of the device, the gear shift roller can be modified. More precisely, a handle is attached to it, which allows you to work more conveniently. A special bolt is inserted into the steering mechanism. They most often try to modernize the hub assembly by manufacturing differential hubs (so-called unlockers). They can be made from the front hubs of Zhiguli or Moskvich cars. Be sure to cut off and sharpen the “ears”. If the bolts are very rusty, they are cut off with a grinder. But we must remember that the fitting of all elements on the axle should be as tight as possible.
