Currently, agriculture is becoming increasingly important in the national economy. An important role is played by small agricultural complexes, farms and households. If a few decades ago all the work in the fields was carried out manually, now it is impossible to see auxiliary agricultural production, in which there is no equipment. One of the most common tractors for work in a small farm is the Uralets mini tractor.
Market appearance and development
The first copies of this technique were brought into Russia in 1991. At the moment, a miniature tractor is produced in the city of Chelyabinsk at a local tractor plant. The history of its creation includes a huge number of trial and error: for a long time, designers tried to create a machine that could combine numerous characteristics. So, the instructors wanted to satisfy the growing demand for equipment that would be quite compact, powerful, could work year-round, and the industry would not be limited to agriculture. So, after some time, the Uralets mini-tractor entered the market from the conveyors of the plant.
Its excellent technical characteristics instantly appreciated. The tractor was compact, relatively light and compact. The area of its use automatically expanded: this technique can be used equally well both on soft soils and in limited territories, narrow roads and more. The Uralets minitractor has also been tested in public utilities. Cleaning snow, garbage, performing loading and unloading operations, cleaning roads - this is not the whole list of works that this technique is capable of performing.
Design Features
The equipment of this machine with an articulated mechanism allows welding and pumping operations. However, the Uralets minitractor has another very important design feature: the ability to change the wheel drive with a caterpillar mechanism. This gives a huge advantage of this technique over other analogues. During work on sowing, harvesting and other agricultural operations, caterpillars are used to facilitate the passage of vehicles. In addition, the pressure on the soil is significantly reduced and, therefore, its destruction is reduced. Business operations carried out in urban conditions are carried out by a wheeled tractor.
Specifications
There are various models of this technique. So, the Uralets-180 mini-tractor is very popular among consumers. The price of this model varies depending on the presence / absence of component parts, the seller and the region of the buyer (from 130 thousand rubles). This compact miniature tractor has a capacity of 18 liters. from. and can accelerate to 27 km / h. At the same time, a vertical two-cylinder diesel engine equipped with a water cooling system is installed in the car.
More recently, the Uralets-220 mini-tractor has expanded the agricultural machinery market. The main distinguishing features from previous generations are its improved technical characteristics (increased engine power, reduced noise during operation, etc.).
