Cutter - design and assembly

The cutter is an important working element for a walk-behind tractor. With the help of a cutter, soil cultivation is carried out. The assembly process of the cutters is described in the instructions for the walk-behind tractor. You can also familiarize yourself with the correct position of the cutters in the assembly by considering the diagram below. The principle of assembling cutters is the same for most walk-behind tractors. The one-piece rotator with direct connection to the PTO is sold already assembled.

Comfortable wheels, the size of which is ideally correlated with the weight and dimensions of the walk-behind tractor, is one of the advantages of the Khoper. Standard wheel sizes: 4.00-8, 6.00-12. If desired, you can install larger wheels than on your walk-behind tractor model, if the technological design allows this.

What oil and fuel to use

Fuel: gasoline AI-82, AI-92, AI-95 or diesel fuel of any brand.

First start-up and running-in

The first start-up of the walk-behind tractor is carried out according to the instructions: if the machine is assembled and ready to work, you can start the engine by letting the walk-behind tractor run for some time without load. Approximately 20 engine hours should elapse from the moment of the first start up to the complete running-in of the engine and gearbox.

Run-in in stages: 15 minutes of idling, the next few days - work at 1/3 of the maximum engine power, the next week - work at 2/3 of the engine power. The run-in is considered completed after 20 hours and the walk-behind tractor can be operated after this stage with all types of attachments, with an adapter. After running in, it is also allowed to process virgin soil, transport heavy loads.

Major faults

Malfunctions are inevitable in the operation of any walk-behind tractor. Next, we will consider the main types of malfunctions in the Khopers and possible ways to fix them on our own. If the malfunction is serious and your knowledge is not enough to eliminate it, contact a specialized repair center or service (with a valid warranty).

Reducer

The main problems with the gearbox and how to fix them:

• noise in the gearbox (check the oil mark, top up; do not use poor quality oil);
• oil leak from the gearbox (check the condition of the seals, eliminate the gap, adjust the oil level, filling it up to the norm, but not higher than the mark on the neck).

Clutch

The main problems with the clutch on the Hopper:

• clutch slipping (check and replace worn springs and discs);
• gears are hard to switch (disassemble the gearbox, grind the gear teeth, replace worn parts);
• the clutch does not completely disengage (the friction discs may be deformed, replace them, fill the crankcase with fresh oil);
• the walk-behind tractor does not start (perhaps it's the air temperature - it's too cold. In this case, try to start the walk-behind tractor at a positive temperature, for example, in a garage, and then take it out to work in the yard).

Other faults

Other faults include:

• increased vibration during operation;
• smoke of various colors when the engine is running.

Such problems are most often caused by improper adjustment of the outboard (vibration), as well as poor-quality fuel and oil out of season, oil leakage. Before operation, make sure that the walk-behind tractor is in good condition and ready for work.

Owner feedback

Victor:

“I bought my Hopper 900 three years ago, in the spring.

Advantages: you can afford to buy without any special infringement of the budget, relatively inexpensive, saves energy, plows in your own way from the heart, very simple operation, assembly, configuration, etc.

Disadvantages: drive belts are frayed (the problem of all walk-behind tractors with belts). I have only replaced it once so far.

Think well before purchasing a walk-behind tractor, no matter what model. But know that it is needed in several cases: with a large plot, if there are few workers in the family, if the soil dries out to varying degrees, the walk-behind tractor will be difficult to use, you need to wait until the entire garden dries out. Hopper is satisfied, I recommend. We don’t save much on fuel, that’s why we took the petrol version.”

Nikolai:

“I use diesel Hopper 5d series 1000. Why diesel? Because I have long been accustomed to the fact that such a technique is trouble-free. Yes, he has a capacity of 5 horses, but more is not needed for a plot of 6 acres.

Advantages: small, compact, maneuverable, fast!

Cons: No cons for me.

Period of use: 2,5 years.
