Motocultivators of the “Mole” series have been produced in our country for a very long time (since 1983) and managed to prove themselves from the best side. This wonderful technique has been successfully used for tillage by summer residents and farmers for more than three decades. There are many tools suitable for the Mole cultivator. Using this technique in the garden or in the field, you can perform a variety of work.
Design Features
The motor-cultivator is equipped with a 2.6-liter single-cylinder engine. from. According to the manufacturer, this technique can be used on any soil. However, according to many summer residents, engine power is not enough to process clay soils. The cultivator plows heavy soil to an insufficient depth (only 150 mm with 250 mm laid). In this regard, the manufacturer has developed several modifications equipped with more powerful engines, mainly imported.
Four cutters go to the Krot motoculture. When plowing, a strip of land with a width of 600 mm is captured, which allows you to work quite quickly with good quality. If desired, the cultivator can be used with six cutters. However, he cannot work with eight. In this case, the masses of equipment simply can not stand the handle. In addition, the load on the gearbox and motor increases significantly, which can lead to their breakdown.
Milling and plowing the soil
Plowing using this equipment can be done in two ways. Mills to the Krot motocultivator at work at the same time serve as its movers. It is quite convenient to cultivate the soil with their help, and most summer residents prefer this method. However, if desired, the cutters can be replaced with wheels, and a plow attached to the cultivator. In this case, it is installed instead of the opener. In order to carry out better plowing, experienced summer residents are advised to first walk through the soil with a cultivator, loosening the top layer to a depth of 10 cm. In this case, the equipment will not burrow into the ground due to the weight of the gearbox.
Resolniki to the Krot motocultivator
With this wonderful technique, you can not only plow the land, but also weed, say, potatoes. The manufacturer provided for the possibility of using special weights as attachments to the “Mole”. These tools are L-shaped. With the help of the “Mole” huge areas can be weeded in a matter of hours.
What else can I use?
The Krot-MK motor-cultivator, among other things, can also be used for hilling potatoes. To do this, instead of the opener, a special hiller is connected to it. It may be ordinary equipment, but it is best to use disk. Such spouts well raise even moist soil. And for a cultivator with a rather weak engine, which is the “Mole”, they will be just an ideal option. It is also possible to install a mass-produced mowing machine. Some summer residents use the “Mole” to transport goods (maximum permissible weight - 200 kg). At the same time, the TM-200 cart is attached to it. Also, with the help of this motor-cultivator it is possible to irrigate (the MNU-2 pump unit is used).

Given the fact that this equipment is not too expensive, it is definitely worth buying it for your summer cottage. Especially if the soil on it is not too heavy.
