A mini tractor is a very useful thing in the household. Without attachments, its efficiency and productivity are close to zero, because in this case, you can only move on the tractor. In order for a mini-tractor with four-wheel drive to be useful on the farm, profile attachments are bought for it. Some units can be made by hand.
Overview of attachments
Compact tractors are used in almost all branches of agriculture. A variety of attachment devices are specially designed for soil cultivation. There are various attachments for soil cultivation, plant care and farm animals.
Attachments for a mini tractor
Planting devices
The plow is an essential tool for preparing the soil for spring field work. The compact tractor can work with various equipment designs. If the farm has equipment with a capacity of up to 30 horsepower, then one or two-body tools are used. The plowing depth for such units is from 20 to 25 cm (this indicator is very easy to change).
If a mini-tractor such as UAZ or Ural has a motor of more than 35 horsepower, then a four-wheel plow is connected to the tractor. With its help it is possible to significantly increase the plowing depth. These systems are most often used by summer residents and small farms.
Disc plows and homemade products are used for untreated and dense types of soil. In large farms, manual and rotary models are used.
Before planting work, the soil must be carefully prepared. This can be done by using a harrow. Depending on the design, they weigh from 200 to 650 kg. The width of the soil with shovels in such structures is from 1 to 2.7 m. Some models are capable of working the soil at a depth of 15 cm, sufficient for effective soil cultivation.
Cutters are a type of plow. They are used in a small area. They are most suitable for those areas where the soil is regularly and efficiently processed. A large plow is suitable for areas that have not been plowed for a long time.
Planting equipment
This type of equipment includes potato planters. There are several models of planters, with 1 and 2 rows. They also have different tank sizes for planting tubers. Different agricultural enterprises and individual owners can choose for themselves tanks of different sizes.
Homemade potato planters for a mini tractor are a versatile unit. They cut a furrow and throw the planting material, that is, the potato tubers, at an equal distance. After that, the planting is automatically covered with soil. All these operations are performed while the mini-tractor is moving around the site. If it is standing, then planting potatoes is impossible.

Power of katofel planters - from 24 horsepower and more. Weight - about 180 kg.
A hiller is an equipment for filling the planting site with soil. Plants are processed in rows. Works in the same way as a seeder.
Plant maintenance equipment
It is advisable to use it for collecting and collecting hay in rolls, raking hay and debris, tedding. A rake is used for all these purposes. There are a large number of modifications of the rake for mini-tractors, depending on the tractor power and the amount of work required.
Cultivators are used to clear the fields from weeds. They loosen the soil well, remove roots. The equipment is advisable to use when the plants are small, immediately after seed germination.
With the help of mounted sprayers, you can fight plant pests. For summer cottages, apply universal sprayer models. They use less fuel and handle a large plot of land.
Homemade rotary mowers for a mini tractor allow you to effectively mow plants. Homemade mini tractors with a kuna are used for more efficient operation of a hay loader.
Harvesting equipment
It includes potato diggers. The most popular types of diggers in the household and farm are vibratory and conveyor diggers. If the farmer has a homemade mini tractor, then the digger is most often done independently.
There are also drum and horse diggers and mowers on sale.
Types of samples
A do-it-yourself mini-tractor hitch is made from a steel profile. The best manufacturing method is welding. There should be equipment for connecting any working equipment.
The most commonly used three-point nozzle. It provides easy movement of equipment in various geometric planes. Nearly all agricultural equipment is designed to accommodate three-point attachments.
Three-point hitch on a mini tractor
An exception is the mini-tractor, which has a caterpillar track. For such a unit, a universal attachment is usually used, which, if necessary, can be easily transformed into a two-point attachment.
Attachment manufacturing
It will be very inconvenient to buy awnings for a walk-behind tractor for a small summer resident. A summer resident or farmer can make all the equipment on his own at home, using a little ingenuity. Most of the equipment is fairly simple, and it is made almost from what is at hand.
Before you make a plow for a mini-tractor with your own hands, the drawings and dimensions must be carefully learned and the most optimal one must be selected. It will be easier to make equipment with a ready-made factory scheme.
Making a hiller
To do this, you need to take 2 discs made of metal with a thickness of 2 mm and position them so that they open outward. When the angle is selected, they are bolted or simply welded. Then it is simply fixed on the hitch.
Potato planter
The device of this unit resembles a hiller. On top it has a bowl into which potato tubers are poured. From a special hole, they fall into the ground.
To make a home potato planter, you need to assemble wheels, an axle, pins, a hopper, sprockets, an adjustment mechanism. All this is attached to the frame.
In front, the wheels are closed with a metal plate, otherwise the potatoes will fall out of the hopper at a time when it is not needed. From the bottom, the hopper is tightened with rubber so that the potatoes do not fall out.
How to make a bucket for a mini tractor? This requires tinplate and internal racks. 2 side and inner struts form a bucket. The rods are screwed to them.
Cutters, plow
This is one of the most important equipment.Cutters are used for processing soft and constantly cultivated soil. A homemade mini tractor plow is more suitable for working with hard soils. To make a homemade plow, you need to take a plate with a thickness of 3 to 5 mm and a pipe with five-millimeter walls.
The plate is sharpened with a knife, like a scythe. Next, the blade is turned by a grinder. The cutting part is the working element of the scythe, which is beaten off on the anvil.
Milling cutters are used for processing soft and constantly cultivated soil
All parts are glued together with the obligatory observance of the corners. The ploughshare is placed on a steel sheet. These elements must be welded pointwise on both sides.
Manufacturing of the trailer adapter
The design of this apparatus includes:
- metal frame;
- coupling;
- transverse bar;
- braces;
- racks, axle, wheels;
- management tools;
- trailer or cart;
- place for the operator and connection of additional mechanisms.
The frame is made of pipe (length - from 1.5 to 1.7 m). A hitch is welded at one end, a bar is welded at the other. Racks for wheels, brace are attached to the bar.
Levers are used to control the devices. By switching them, you can set the optimal position of the attachment. An additional lever is installed to adjust the applied force.
The length of the drawbar depends on the power of the walk-behind tractor. Engine power affects wheel size. Additionally, hydraulics are mounted.
A hitch for a mini tractor, internal combustion engine and other units is easily done independently. It is suitable for almost all agricultural equipment, greatly facilitates and reduces the cost of all work in the country or on the farm. Correct use of the equipment prolongs the life of the walk-behind tractor.
