Attachment overview

All Caiman Vario walk-behind tractors are rationally aggregated with a variety of additional devices for agricultural, utility, and household work.

Cutters

Soil cutters (3 pairs) are the main equipment of the Caiman walk-behind tractor, they can be in the form of "crow's feet" or ordinary workers - Razor Blade, saber-shaped, equipped with 4 knives with a special sharpening angle.

The cutters are quick-detachable, which allows you to quickly assemble and reinstall them on the walk-behind tractor.

Trolley, adapter

A trailer is rationally installed on the Caiman walk-behind tractors on the rear hitch, which allows you to transport various goods. The adapter is a seat with a pair of wheels, which is extremely convenient when performing large amounts of work.

Cargo trolley

Mower

Caiman walk-behind tractors are adapted for hanging various models of mowers - rotary and frontal, with which you can put the lawn in order and prepare animal feed.

Mower "Terminator"

Most often, owners are interested in the powerful Terminator lawn mower with a working width of 0,5 m, which is able to easily mow plants at least 50 cm high, leaving a neat, 5 cm high mat.

Plow

Separate modifications of Caiman motoblocks are equipped with a plow or a reversible plow. When, with what and how is it better to plow - with cutters or a plow? This task should be carried out based on the characteristics of the soil, given that the plow powerfully turns layers from the depth upwards, including virgin soils.

Thus, it is better to carry out deep plowing in autumn, so that weed roots freeze out in winter, and the fertile soil layer is restored faster before spring work. It is good to perform soft plowing with rotators before planting crops. For plowing, it is possible to use a special Maxi kit or kits with weights.

How convenient it is to plow with a Caiman Quatro Max 70S TWK + walk-behind tractor with a Plow2 reversible plow, is shown in the video:

Wheels, lugs

Complete with some models of Caiman walk-behind tractors, pneumatic wheels are initially supplied. Aggressive tread allows you to successfully perform various work on the ground and around the house. When cutting furrows, working with a plow, cutters, complete with a potato digger and a potato planter, lugs are hung instead of wheels, which contribute to better movement of the Caiman walk-behind tractor.

Snowplower

Thanks to the front drive, a variety of attachments for household purposes can be connected to Caiman walk-behind tractors: a snow blower, a shovel-dump with a working width of 1 m, a utility brush.

Auger snow throwers are especially popular, which allow not only clearing the territory, but also throwing snow a few meters to the side.

Potato diggers and potato planters

Such important work on the site as planting and digging potatoes can be mechanized with the help of a potato planter and potato digger, significantly saving time and effort. The planting process is extremely simple: cutting furrows and laying potatoes, followed by hilling. Digging is no less simple - the hitch loosens the soil and turns the tubers up.

Couplings and weights

Various couplings allow you to rationally aggregate additional tools on the Caiman walk-behind tractor. For machines with a light weight, weights will be needed to ensure the required working depth.

Features of operation

Subaru engines are installed on Caiman walk-behind tractors, which do not require the formation of a fuel-oil mixture; liquids should be poured into separate tanks. Only pure gasoline not lower than A-92 is used as fuel, without impurities and additives.

The owner of the Caiman walk-behind tractor must carefully prepare for operation and carefully maintain the unit. Irregular maintenance and small things such as ordinary dirt, dust, moisture remaining on the machine can lead to premature wear of parts.

Service

The manufacturer guarantees uninterrupted reliable operation of the Caiman walk-behind tractor for 3 years. The consumer is required to strictly comply with the requirements of the operating instructions:

• Strictly observe the frequency of maintenance, do not increase the service intervals.
• When choosing a brand of oils, consider the season of operation.
• Do not use the wrong oils and lubricants.
• Engine oil is changed every 50 hours.
• Change the oil in the gearbox after 100 hours of operation.
• When performing intensive work on heavy soils, the equipment is given the opportunity to periodically “rest”, and maintenance is carried out ahead of schedule, since the oil in the engine quickly loses its properties due to operation at high speeds with a lower gear.
• It is recommended to periodically test the functionality of the clutch release mechanism, the timely adjustment of which will significantly increase the life of the gearbox.
• When choosing attachments, in order to avoid overloads and annoying breakdowns, they are guided by the list of tools recommended by the factory instructions in accordance with the power of the walk-behind tractor.

First start

In order to provide the walk-behind tractor with a long production life, it is imperative to run in. As for each type of equipment, this procedure is carried out for better grinding of the units and mechanisms of the unit, which significantly affects the further service life. The running-in of Caiman walk-behind tractors begins with idling, gradually increasing the load.

Then they work at 2/3 of the power for some time, after which they reach the maximum load. They test the operation of all systems, check the functionality of the machine, gear shifting, the availability of connecting mounted units.

Major malfunctions, repair

Due to the perfect design, Caiman walk-behind tractors are not characterized by serious system breakdowns, typical malfunctions. Owners only need to master the practical skills of replacing consumables, some adjustment and tuning work.

In light walk-behind tractors, where power is transferred from the engine to the gearbox through a belt drive, a worn belt may need to be replaced. To replace it, the side cover is removed, the clutch lever is squeezed out, and part of the weakened belt is pulled out of the pulley. Then turn the shaft and remove the unusable belt. Then they put on a new one and bring it into place with similar movements.

To select the belt of the required size, it should be borne in mind that Caiman walk-behind tractors use belts with a profile similar to the domestic group "A". That is, it is not necessary to overpay for the original spare part bоmore amount. It is not difficult to purchase other spare parts.

Possible problems in the ignition and power system can be eliminated by following these recommendations:

• Check the mesh of the petrol tap for clogging.
• If the gas valve is blocked with the carburetor, you should check the spark plug. If it is waterlogged, the air filter may be clogged or the carburetor may be faulty.
• Drying the plug also involves tuning and cleaning the carburetor.
• Checking the ability of a spark to form at a removed candle - with significant soot, the spark will be weak.
• Check the operation of the engine stop button.
• Check the oil level in the motor and the serviceability of the level sensor (if the walk-behind tractor is equipped with a sensor).

In the case of normal operation of the spark plug, the carburetor should be removed and disassembled, and the fuel and air channels should be purged.

So that the equipment does not cause unnecessary trouble to the owner, it is necessary to select the Caiman walk-behind tractor, in accordance with the upcoming loads, type of attachments and cost.

The price of Caiman motoblocks starts from 52 thousand rubles. - model Vario 60S without wheels, and reaches 140 thousand rubles. for the multifunctional modification of the Caiman Quatro Max 70S Plow2 TWK+ with a reversible plow. The cost of gasoline walk-behind tractors of the PRO family is in the range of 170-190 thousand rubles. Diesel Caiman 340 PowerSafe can be bought for 360 thousand rubles.

Owner feedback

Andrei:

“After much thought, I settled on the Cayman Quatro Max 70S Plow TWK + with a simple plow, I think I’ll manage without a reverse plow for now, and then I’ll come up with something. I'm on my second season and have no complaints. Assembly, quality of components and systems, functionality - everything corresponds. This kind of technology makes me happy."

Leonid Petrovich:

“I have been working with the Cayman Vario 60S TWK + walk-behind tractor for 6 years already, I bought it as soon as the first samples began to be produced. Amazing unit, obedient, serviceable. After the Chinese cultivator, with whom I suffered for 12 years before, it cannot be compared. Vario transmission, reliable Subaru engine, durable gearbox. The car is easy to drive. The main thing is to fill in good gasoline, do not overload with too heavy a hitch, give a break. Never let me down."
