Motoblock - a multifunctional device that will be indispensable for working in the garden, in the suburban areas and farms. With the help of this device you can plow the land, weed the beds, uproot the stumps, transport the heavy cargo; A bison driving unit, for example, copes with harvesting fallen leaves and crops, and provided that additional equipment and snow are available.
Types of motor blocks
Motoblocks, depending on the mass and power of the engine can be divided into three types: heavy, medium, light. Heavy motoblocks are suitable for a wide range of tasks. The use of such a device is advisable on land with a large area. A large mass of professional motoblocks (about 120kg.) Is ideally suited for the use of various additional equipment, while the speed of the device can reach 10-12 km / h. Heavy motor blocks are quite difficult to manage and using them requires certain skills. Medium and light motor blocks are more suitable for use on individual sites, that is, where a small amount of work is required.
Choosing a motoblock, it is necessary, first of all, to determine the capacity of the device. You can buy various additional equipment at any time, but increasing capacity is a very costly exercise.
On the Russian market, the motor blocks are represented both in the imported (Germany, Italy) and in the domestic version, the most popular of the Neva motor crews. It should be noted that at the initial lower cost domestic devices have less safety and reliability, and the purchase of spare parts will cost their owners a large sum. Recently, a large number of Chinese motor block manufacturers appear on the market - their products are not much inferior to expensive imported devices, but they cost less than analogues.
The motor is the heart of the motoblock
Motoblock can be equipped with a gasoline engine (two-stroke or four-stroke) or an electric drive. Devices with an electric drive do not require oil filling, refueling or any special care. It is very easy to use them, simply plug it into the network and press the button. But such light cultivators have a number of drawbacks: the treatment of small areas, depending on the length of the cord, a small power, as well as the danger of electric shock. Gasoline engines, which are equipped with the majority of motoblocks, have a higher power. The disadvantages include the need for regular oil changes and refueling, as well as increased noise in operation.
Assembly and maintenance
The factory bundle of motor blocks of one class from different manufacturers can vary greatly, so when you purchase it, you must definitely decide on the set of required add-ons. Devices, at the same time, not gaining too much at the expense of the cultivator's power.
The standard set of motor blocks includes rubberized wheels, a soil milling cutter and a set of the most necessary keys. An additional set for light motor blocks often includes a set of several types of scoring cutters and small chisel-lemesh structures. A heavy unit can be aggregated with a large number of attachments, including a snow suspension or a water pump.
In addition, it is necessary to ask the seller what warranty period is provided by the seller to the model you have chosen, and also to know in what volume after-sales service is provided. Not too much will be the awareness of the availability of components for this device, the timing of their delivery and cost.
