Cutter for soil cultivation with their own hands

Today, the processing of the land is much easier due to the wide variety of special equipment and additional parts. The milling cutter for MTZ is one such device with many useful characteristics.

Functions

The tractor, equipped with a milling cutter combining the properties of a cultivator and a plow, allows solving all tasks related to soil treatment quickly and with minimal time. Without this assistant you can not do on the sites planted with coarse plants, as well as differing in swim, complex soil. This functional is not limited to milling cutters, they ensure the introduction of fertilizers of all kinds, level the surface, mix soil layers, remove weeds and simultaneously crush vegetation. Devices are indispensable in improving meadows and pastures, processing complex layers of soils.

Varieties

The cutter for soil cultivation can be of several types: field, marsh, tilled and garden. The latter is common in the processing of forest belts, the removal of weeds and loosening. Field species are necessary to care for lands intended for planting rice and vegetable crops that are characterized by a heavy, waterlogged structure. Marsh options are useful both in the processing of meadows and pastures, and in drained marshy soil. The soil between rows of seedlings and cereals is milled by rotary aggregates.

Types of blades

The plate knife is located on a rotating shaft and is the basis of the device design, for its production high quality steel is used. There are several types of knives suitable for various tasks and environmental conditions:

• The most durable option is chisel-shaped, it can be used on stony, dense and complex areas;
• Sickle-shaped ones are versatile in their application, the only limitation is that they can not be used on soil with stony deposits;
• Standard knives are suitable for both heavy and light soils, it is important that it is distinguished by the lack of a large number of stones and clogging.

Features of work

The soil is processed by steel protruding teeth (blades). The devices with the rear and front teeth are characterized by the addition of special pegs used to adjust the degree of processing.

The milling cutter for the cultivation of the soil with its own hands with the front blades is distinguished by the placement of the teeth under the engine and their reversal in the direction of travel. To simplify the movement made by working teeth, the wheel part is located on the rear side. It is worth noting that such an aggregate is not used in untreated soil and hard rocks.

Equipment with rear blades is equipped with an engine that drives the wheels. Such aggregates can have two variants of teeth:

• Blades with built-in reverse rotation. This species is highly efficient in the processing of hard earth. The soil tiller with similar equipment is suitable for use on untreated soil.
• Jaws rotating forward along with the wheels.

In some cases, it is possible to handle the blades in both directions, thereby combining the advantages of both variants.

Among the mills of small size with the front teeth are mini-cultivators. They combine the possibility of working in a small area, light weight and maneuverability. The choice of a particular option depends on the type of soil and the total amount of work.

How to make a soil mill

If necessary, the device can be made by hand. The easiest option is the following option, while it is necessary to determine the used power plant - it can be an electric or chainsaw.

Steel pipes with walls with a thickness of about 0.5 mm are necessary for making the frame. On it the clamps fixed power unit. The mechanism is based on a chain two-speed transmission, with the chain and sprockets from a conventional bicycle being suitable for the first. The second transmission is more powerful, therefore, parts from the motorcycle can be used here.

The chain auxiliary transmission ensures the operation of the wheels. Homemade cutters for tillage look like pipes with a large diameter, on which are placed 6 teeth. On both sides there are welded semi-axles equipped with bearings. It also requires the installation of screws that provide the location of the axis and chain. For each chain transmission, it is necessary to make casing to protect against damage and grounding to the saw.

Equipment for motoblock

Preliminary drawing of a milling cutter for soil cultivation taking into account the fact that it will be manufactured by forged method, as this variant is characterized by higher reliability. As a material for the base, steel stamped sheets act. The cutting edge of the device will have a slightly pronounced surface. The greatest distribution in independent manufacture has got the equipment of a kind "crow's feet".

First you need to prepare a certain set of tools and materials:

• Bulgarian or other mechanism suitable for grinding work;
• Welding set ;
• Steel pipe (diameter should be about 45 mm).

Thanks to the self-assembly, the tillage cutter will have suitable functions and dimensions for the existing site that requires processing. Rippers can be used as rippers.

Blades in the course of work are brought to the required size and bend in one direction at a certain angle. All parts are attached to the base with a welding machine. The edge is sharpened in accordance with the direction of rotation of the device. Then the hitch assembly is connected to the received structure and is adjusted during trial switching.

It should be noted that steel parts with a diameter within 50 cm should be used for assembly, in this case, the depth of penetration into the soil will be 25 cm. After switching on, it is necessary to check the sequence of teeth entering into the ground, the absence of impacts and sudden movements.

How to extend the service life

Of particular importance is regular maintenance, which includes a list of actions to ensure high efficiency and long-term operation of machines. The planned complex of works should be carried out in the established terms, also it is necessary for better performance, saving of lubrication and gasoline.

The tiller is cleaned of plant debris and dried pieces of soil, then the technical condition of the elements and the adjustment of the fasteners are checked. It is also necessary to inspect the drive, the trailing mechanism and the working parts.
