Overview of Brait walk-behind tractors

These are high-performance devices that are designed for processing land plots of medium and large sizes. The owners of this equipment get the opportunity to automate a wide range of work thanks to the aggregated attachments. In terms of its technical characteristics and operational properties, the machine is comparable to the leading European quality walk-behind tractors.

Brait devices are distinguished by their small overall dimensions and improved manoeuvrability. Thanks to this, walk-behind tractors are used in gardens, cottages, farms and in urban areas.

The manufacturer offers several options for walk-behind tractors, which differ in the type of engine and its power.

A photo of the Bright walk-behind tractor is presented below.

Overview of the range of motoblocks Brait

The model range of Bright walk-behind tractors is presented in a wide range, where everyone can choose the model that best suits their requirements. A comparative table of the main technical characteristics of Brait walk-behind tractors is presented below:

A more detailed description is presented on the official website. And you can compare them in more detail.

As we can see from the table, the range of Bright walk-behind tractors is very wide.

The wider the tires, the better the traction. Also, this indicator is affected by weight, the heavier the walk-behind tractor, the higher its stability during operation.

Bright offers its customers not only gasoline, but also diesel models of walk-behind tractors. They are distinguished by an increased service life and lower consumption of fuel and lubricants, while their cost is slightly higher.

The presence of an electric starter makes it easier to start the process at low temperatures.

Attachment overview

The popularity of walk-behind tractors in our country is due to the possibility of connecting a large number of attachments. Each owner should be familiar with the capabilities of their car, for this, let's look at the most common attachments.

Cutter

This attachment is delivered together with the walk-behind tractor from the factory in a disassembled state. With its help, you can mix the upper layer of the soil and increase fertility.

To assemble the cutters in the correct sequence, you must use the diagram in the instruction manual, because due to improper assembly, they can immediately break off or fly off and cause harm to health.

When installing cutters, the walk-behind tractor actually turns into a cultivator.

Plow

This attachment is also used to mix the topsoil before planting and after harvest. There are two types of plow: conventional and rotary. They differ in the shape of the plowshare. The second option is made in the form of a feather and breaks large blocks of soil when plowing.

Mowers

Mowers are used for mowing grass and further harvesting hay for the winter period. Thanks to the presence of a PTO, Brait walk-behind tractors can work with rotary mowers. They work by rotating knives, which, under the action of centrifugal force, unwind and cut the vegetation.

And here is a photo of a mower for a Bright walk-behind tractor

Potato digger and potato planter

Potato is considered a common agricultural crop, which is grown throughout our country. However, the work of planting, caring for and collecting it requires a lot of physical and time costs. To facilitate these works, Bright walk-behind tractors are used together with a potato digger and a potato planter.

To care for potatoes, hillers are used, which are two metal discs that, when driving, throw the earth from the aisles to the bushes, thereby cutting the weeds.

Trailers and carts

Trailer equipment is used to transport goods.

On the trailers, an operator's chair is installed in front, which allows you to control the walk-behind tractor while sitting.

Depending on the object being transported, it is necessary to select the appropriate trailer:

• The variant with folding sides is convenient when transporting bulk cargo;
• With high sides used for bulky items;
• The extended type is used when transporting pipes or tree fellings.

Adapter

The main problem when working with a walk-behind tractor is that it is necessary to move behind it while standing, which makes it impossible to operate for a long period of time. Therefore, the manufacturer offers special adapters with a seat. They are connected to the Bright walk-behind tractor and allow you to conveniently control the machine.

Snow blower and blade shovel

After the end of the harvesting work, many owners put the Brait walk-behind tractor into conservation until next spring. However, they can also be useful in winter for cleaning snow cover.

Snow blowers are special attachments that pick up snow with a pulley and then use a rotor to throw it to the side at a distance of 5 meters.

The shovel blade looks like a curved sheet of metal set at an angle. While driving, he simply throws a layer of snow to the side. The shovel blade is commonly used by utility companies to clear roads.

Wheels and lugs

The manufacturer of walk-behind tractors Bright offers a variety of tire widths that have high grip due to the aggressive tread.

If the walk-behind tractor still slips or jumps over sections of soil, then lugs can be installed to improve its patency. While driving, they enter the ground, and give the walk-behind tractor additional stability.

Weights and couplers

The official manufacturer offers a wide range of walk-behind tractors from light to heavy. If its weight is not sufficient, then to increase it, you can hang special weights. They are made in the form of pancakes, which are hung on the wheel axle.

A universal hitch is installed on the Bright walk-behind tractor, which allows the use of attachments from third-party manufacturers: Cascade and Neva.

User's manual

The work of each new owner of the Bright walk-behind tractor should begin with familiarization with the instruction manual. It provides a diagram of the start-up of the machine, its use and maintenance.

First start instructions

1. The correct start of operation is the key to long-term use of the machine. Assembly must be carried out strictly in accordance with the recommendations of the user manual.
2. After that, it is necessary to fill in oil and fuel, since they are not in the factory configuration.
3. After that, for the first eight hours, the Brait walk-behind tractor should be used in a gentle mode at a third of the maximum power. This is necessary in order for the oil to pass through the entire motor and lubricate the engine.
4. After the break-in is complete, the engine oil should be changed.

Service

In order to maintain the Bright walk-behind tractor in working condition, it is necessary to carry out its maintenance in accordance with the recommendations of the instruction manual.

If the walk-behind tractor is gasoline, then AI-92 or AI-95 fuel should be poured. If the engine is diesel, then, respectively, diesel. Fuel must be poured clean, fresh, without sediment and foreign impurities.

The frequency of changing engine oil depends on the intensity of use of the Bright walk-behind tractor.

If it was used with a minimum load, then it is allowed to replace it once every 50 hours of operation. If heavy loads were transported or virgin lands were plowed, then it must be changed after 25 hours. SAE 10W-40 is recommended as a new lubricant.

The transmission unit must be replaced twice a year: in spring and autumn. It is necessary to fill in oils of the Tap-15V or TAD-17i brand here.

Correction of basic faults

Brait walk-behind tractors are high-quality equipment that can still fail over time: start pouring a little from the transmission unit, stall during operation or not develop maximum power. Therefore, each owner should know how to repair the most common malfunctions in the Bright walk-behind tractor:

If the engine does not start:

• Empty fuel tank (refill with fuel);
• Old gasoline is used (try to drain the remnants and fill in fresh);
• Dirty or defective spark plug (remove it and visually inspect the condition, check and, if necessary, set the gap between the electrodes);
• Low oil level in the crankcase (top up with engine oil).

If the motor runs jerkily:

• The contact on the spark plugs comes off (fasten the wire tightly);
• Water or dirt has entered the fuel tank (drain fuel and clean the fuel system);
• Clogged fuel or air filter (remove and clean them);
• Dirt has got into the carburetor (disassemble it and wipe all its components with gasoline).

In the event of more serious breakdowns, it is better to contact the service center, the address of the nearest one to you can be found on the forum or the official website.

Comparison of Bright and Energoprom

These two manufacturers of small agricultural equipment are in the same price range. Therefore, many buyers compare these two companies.

1. The production of Bright and Energoprom is the same - Russian with Chinese spare parts. This is where the price comes from.
2. The model range of Bright motoblocks is much larger, including diesel models with an electric starter, which Energoprom does not have.
3. If we compare by tires, power, weight, milling width or other technical characteristics, then we will find their identical similarity.

Owner feedback

Below are a few opinions from thematic forums regarding the experience of working on Brait walk-behind tractors:

Michael:

“Brites have appeared in our country relatively recently, so their prices are not too high yet. I bought my cultivator for 25 thousand, and this is one of the best investments in my life. The price is not high, but the possibilities are huge! It is not a problem to get a hitch, it is available in most specialized stores. Now I have cutters, a mower and a cart. I also want to buy a blade-shovel for the winter, since there are heavy snowfalls in my area. The only thing I noticed is that with a long and intense load, there is a very large overheating of the motor. If you work for a couple of hours with breaks, then it's fine.

Pros: Inexpensive quality car that can help out in any situation.

Cons: Large overheating, if you do not follow this, the engine will fly quickly "

Igor:

“Bright walk-behind tractors are inexpensive equipment that is designed for long-term operation. I've had it on my farm for a couple of years now. All parts are still original. Although when compared with MTZ, after 5 years it has already crumbled. Nowhere, well, it makes noise, does not vibrate, does not disappear. I have 4x8 wheels and it’s enough for cross-country ability, lugs are not needed. Even when driving uphill, there is enough traction. The slippage is almost invisible. The steering stem is organic and comfortable to hold in your hand. For those who want to buy, I can recommend "
