Attachments

Motoblocks MKM-3 Lander have gained great popularity due to the quality of manufacturing of the main structural components, engine power and a wide selection of additional attachments.

Let's look at the most common attachments.

Milling cutter

The MKM-3 Lander walk-behind tractor comes with a set of tillers for tillage. They are installed instead of standard pneumatic wheels and allow mixing of the top layer of soil.

There is another option - active cutters. They are connected to the power take-off shaft. When cultivating the field with such attachments, the Lander walk-behind tractor behaves more steadily.

If it is necessary to cultivate virgin or hard soils, it is recommended to use a plow. It is capable of processing those rocks where the cutters cannot enter the ground and will either break off or simply jump over.


Plowman Lander walk-behind tractors do not have enough power to drive a 2-circuit plow, so they only work with 1.

During plowing Special attention Care should be taken to control the machine; it is not allowed to let go of the steering bar or use open-top shoes.

Mowers and rakes

In order to maintain order local area and weed removal, Plowman Lander walk-behind tractors are used together with a rotary mower. They are able to cope with young grass and medium-sized shrubs. Rotary mowers cut grass using rotating blades that spin out.

Rotary mower Zarya

If the hay needs to be removed after mowing, then you can use another attachment for this - a rake. Their width is about 1 m.

Potato digger and potato planter

Plowman Lander walk-behind tractors can help in planting and harvesting potatoes. For this purpose, appropriate attachments are used.



The most popular version of the potato digger is the screen one. Its active knife plunges into the ground about 20 cm, picks up a layer of soil along with the fruits, and then uses screens to break up the soil and leave only the tubers on the surface.

Okuchniki

Hillers are used to care for potatoes; they are made in the form of two disks that throw a layer of soil from the rows onto the potato bushes. Thus, two tasks are performed at once: hilling and weeding.


Snowblowers and blade shovel

With the onset of winter, land work stops, and many owners put Plowman Lander walk-behind tractors into storage.

If you have a snow blower or a shovel, you can use it to clear the area of ​​snow. This is especially true in rural areas where you have to carry out this work yourself.




Snow blowers are a special attachment that picks up a layer of snow and, through a rotor and a special outlet, throws it at a distance of 5 meters.

The shovel blade is used mainly for cleaning the local area.

Wheels, lugs and tracks

Plowman walk-behind tractors belong to the average traction and weight class of walk-behind tractors. They reliably grip the surface due to pneumatic wheels with an aggressive tread.

To improve cross-country ability, lugs are used instead of standard tires. They are used when working on swampy or wet soil.




Track modules are installed when driving a walk-behind tractor in winter. They increase the contact area with the surface and improve control when driving on ice or snow.

Weights

The disadvantage of Plowman Lander walk-behind tractors is their light weight, therefore they often slip and behave unstably.

To give them greater balance, you can install additional weight in the form of weights, which are hung on the wheel axle in the form of pancakes.

Trailer

Plowman walk-behind tractors can transport goods by installing trailers. The choice of its configuration directly depends on the cargo being transported:

  • Trailers with high sides are used when transporting bulky cargo;
  • Tipper options are used when transporting bulk items;
  • Long carts are used when it is necessary to transport long pipes or tree trunks.



Adapter

For decreasing physical activity for the operator, adapters can be used while working on the Plowman Lander walk-behind tractor. This is a special attachment in the form of a seat, which is installed at the back of the walk-behind tractor and allows you to control the progress of the machine while sitting.

Homemade options

As we see, the range of various attachments for Lander MKM walk-behind tractors is very large and everyone can choose the one that suits their taste. However, their cost can sometimes reach half the price of a walk-behind tractor.

Therefore, many people are thinking about making attachments themselves. There is a website for this on the Internet. a large number of various thematic forums, websites and video reviews of manufacturing.

The most popular site is considered to be Samodelkin, where, in the form of diagrams and photos, the process of making various attachments is presented.

User manual

Before starting to operate the Plowman walk-behind tractor, new owners should read the operating instructions in order to understand the principle of handling the equipment and thereby protect themselves from injury.

In addition, the operating instructions provide a schedule for Maintenance and solving the most common breakdowns.

An electronic version of this document is provided.

First launch and run-in

If you are the first owner of the Plowman walk-behind tractor, then you will need to assemble it, since it is sold from the factory in disassembled condition.

To do this, you must strictly follow the operating instructions.

  • Next, in mandatory you should add oil and fuel to the appropriate compartments, since everyone remembers about gasoline, but many people forget that it is necessary to add lubricant and there is a huge chance of engine failure.
  • After this, the engine should be run-in. This regimen usually lasts from 6 to 8 hours. During break-in, it is allowed to use the device at half the maximum power. For example, you can mill the soil, but only to a third of the greatest depth.
  • Running in is necessary so that the engine parts of the Plowman walk-behind tractor are lubricated and the friction in them is reduced.
  • After the break-in is completed, the engine oil should be replaced, since a large number of abrasive particles accumulate in it.

Service

To extend the service life of Plowman Lander walk-behind tractors, they should be regularly maintained, the schedule for which is clearly described in the operating instructions.

Before each trip, you should check the availability of fuel and engine oil, visually assess the condition of the machine for failure of parts, and check the reliability of fixation of attachments.



The engine oil must be changed after 25 operating hours. During this time, a large number of abrasive particles accumulate in it, which can damage engine parts. The manufacturer recommends using synthetic (5W-30) or semi-synthetic (10W-30) lubricant options.

Transmission oil should be changed twice a year: in spring and autumn.

Troubleshooting

Sooner or later, every owner of Plowman walk-behind tractors encounters minor breakdowns. The ways to solve them are clearly described in the operating instructions. Below are the most common troubleshooting problems.

If the engine is difficult to start or does not start at all:

  • Ignition system is faulty

— Try adjusting the spark plug gap;

— If there is a large amount of carbon on it, then try to clean it;

— Replace the spark plug.

  • Fuel supply problems

— Clean the fuel filters and the entire system as a whole;

— Adjust the carburetor;

- Clean the carburetor.

If the engine overheats during operation, it could be due to a clogged air filter or cooling system. They need to be cleaned.

If more serious malfunctions occur, you must contact a service center to resolve them.

Design Features

The vast majority of owners note this positive feature this model is like a well-balanced balancing act. The center of gravity is located exactly in the middle (engine above gearbox). This makes working with cutters very convenient (the walk-behind tractor does not fall forward or backward); when working with an active hitch (it is easy for the walk-behind tractor to set any desired direction). This balanced design makes the load on your hands as minimal as possible.

The Plowman MKM-3 walk-behind tractor has three speeds, two of which are forward and one is reverse. A characteristic detail is the presence of a very reliable and durable gear reducer. This is a mechanical collapsible gear reducer with excellent traction force. It is manufactured at an aircraft factory. It gives the equipment high reliability and maintainability. Other domestic walk-behind tractors are equipped with the same. In particular, the Agat and Salyut brands. The drive uses a turned steel pulley. It allows you to obtain a consistently high coefficient of engagement with the belt.

Motoblocks "Plowman" are equipped with steering wheels of a modern design, with adjustments in 2 planes. Individual selection of adjustments is available, horizontally and vertically, depending on the physical characteristics of the person. Professional motor pens of original Italian origin are used as controls. The effort on the pressed handle is very small, which helps reduce operator fatigue during a variety of work operations.

When the steering wheel is removed, the walk-behind tractor becomes very compact in size and can be easily transported from place to place in any, even the smallest, car. The low weight allows you to easily rotate the walk-behind tractor 360 degrees, without the need for a wheel release function. The design of this walk-behind tractor is completely free of plastic parts and other unreliable, short-lived or low-quality elements. The protection is also made of steel. IN standard The “Plowman MKM-3” walk-behind tractor is equipped with two axle extensions for possible widening of the track.

Options for working with attachments

The “Plowman” (“Lander”) MKM-3 walk-behind tractor has impressive versatility, which is supported by a power take-off shaft, on which an impressive list of attachments is installed. Among the options for trailed and mounted units, in addition to standard cultivators, are a plow, a hiller, a root crop digger, a mower, a shovel and a snow blower, a pump pump for pumping water, a utility brush, a trailer-trolley designed to transport up to 350 kg payload.

Hiller for walk-behind tractor "Plowman MKM-3".

If necessary, this walk-behind tractor can also be started in winter, during frosty times, to work in tandem with a rotary snow blower, sweeping brush or snow blade. According to owners, starting in cold weather is not a big problem.

With the exception of the haymower (Zarya), the attachments for the Plowman MKM-3 are assembled at the same plant. Power is taken from the walk-behind tractor to drive mounted implements from the external pulley of the engine.

Initially, this walk-behind tractor is equipped with a durable toothed drive belt, which transmits maximum efficiency from the engine to the gearbox, or to attachments.

  • The longitudinal inclination angle is 15 degrees.

Before full use, the walk-behind tractor must be broken in. This means working on it for the first 10 hours without heavy loads, at medium power. In general, the first 20 hours of operation of the Plowman MKM-3 walk-behind tractor is a period of running-in of engine and transmission parts, and therefore overloading the MKM-3 during this period is not permissible. Cultivation of the soil during the running-in period must be carried out to a depth of no more than 12 centimeters in one pass with cultivators, without additional sections.

Owner reviews

The first thing to note (as all owners of the Plowman walk-behind tractor say) is that this model is designed for working on light garden soils; virgin soil and especially hard and dense soils are too much for it. For heavy soils, you will need a mid-class walk-behind tractor, weighing more than one hundred kilograms.

But it is very light and easy to operate - even any teenager can operate it! According to the owners, 10-15 acres of vegetable garden for this walk-behind tractor is the optimal area that it can cultivate without the slightest difficulty. There is truth and evidence of the work of the “Plowman” on virgin soils. Only in this case were wheel weights installed on the walk-behind tractor, and the track widened.

The material from which the walk-behind tractor is assembled is definitely not flimsy, the frame is very strong. The quality of assembly and painting also inspires respect and trust. The cutter protection design deserves praise: the earth does not fly high, which is safe for the face and eyes. Changing gears when working with cutters or a plow is convenient and easy. They switch quite clearly. The clutch also works clearly and smoothly, the “Plowman MKM-3” walk-behind tractor starts moving slowly and without jerking.

Another plus is that there is a power take-off pulley for a belt drive, applicable for a wide variety of inexpensive additional equipment. The pin located in front of the walk-behind tractor is also convenient. You can freely place weights on it for movement as part of a trolley and for harrowing. Excellent balancing and weight distribution: all the weight falls on the wheels.

Manufacturers praise the gearbox for good reason: it is really powerful, high-torque and of very good quality. This gearbox is more reliable than chain or worm gearboxes. Rubber shock-absorbing handles are good both in quality and in comfort. The same can be said about the clutch handle. It is convenient and comfortable to adjust the steering wheel. The walk-behind tractor is quickly and easily disassembled and assembled into positions for transportation and work. The walk-behind tractor coulter is equipped with comfortable wheels; you can move the walk-behind tractor on them while cultivators are standing on it, so as not to spoil the paths.

The following review from the owner of the Plowman MKM-3 is very noteworthy: “Last year I dug up a 20-acre garden—it took me half the fall to do it. This year, in the run-in mode - milling for 10 minutes, resting for 10 minutes, I processed the same area in just a couple of hours. I can’t imagine what I didn’t buy before!”

One of the disadvantages of this model is the tight gas; increased vibration in the middle range of rotation of the crankshaft. The tension roller bearing is dry, and after stopping the engine it rotates with a whistle for another 30 seconds. Some owners note as a drawback - weak welding in the area where the steering wheel is attached to the frame. The throttle lever sticks from time to time.

It is also noted that for high-quality snow removal, the speed of the walk-behind tractor is too high. Even in first gear, so sometimes the snow thrower choke. The solution is to additionally purchase a utility pulley for this walk-behind tractor. Due to the smaller diameter of the pulley, the speed of the walk-behind tractor will be noticeably lower, and the rotation speed of the snow blower auger will remain at the same level.
