How to make a front linkage on a tiller

Sizes and features of the manufacture of hedgehogs

a tiller with a potato growing attachment will save time and effort when caring for this crop. Weeding hedgehogs are a functional attachment that allows you to quickly and efficiently defeat weeds. In the process of weeding, the plants are not simply cut, but uprooted. The land around the plant is well loosened and huddled. Thanks to this, the plant is not only freed from weeds, but also receives sufficient water and oxygen.

Based on diagrams and drawings, you can make them yourself.

Components for hedgehogs:

• 3 discs made of metal or a ring;
• a small piece of pipe with a diameter of 30 mm;
• steel dowel rods.

It is preferable to use rings instead of discs, which will lighten the whole structure. The sizes of rings for making tiller’s hedgehogs are different. The most common are 240x170x100 mm or 300x200x100 mm. The rings are attached to the pipe through jumpers. The connection must be made at an angle of 45 degrees with a distance between the elements no more than 15-18 cm.

The spikes, cut from a steel rod 10-15 cm long, are welded onto the rings and the axle itself. Depending on the size, they are attached to a large ring in the amount of 15 pieces, to a small one. 5. Also, several pieces can be welded onto the axis.

To facilitate the work with the structure, the hedgehog tiller is equipped with additional wheels.

In order to increase the capabilities of the tiller, it is enough to equip it with various attachments. For all models, manufacturers have developed numerous add-ons, the use of which makes it easier to work on the ground.

On sale you can find plows and seeders, hillers, furrow diggers, sledges. The choice, of course, is large, but many cannot afford the cost of such equipment. But it is quite possible to make it on your own from cheaper or used materials.

Do-it-yourself snowplow bucket

the tiller will come in handy on the farm not only in summer, but also in winter. It is often equipped like a snow blower. It is enough to make a bucket for the tiller, and the iron assistant will do the hard work.

A snow shovel is usually made from a 200 liter iron barrel. You will also need metal strips, a square pipe, rubber and steel plates and fasteners. bolts, nuts. From tools. pliers or pliers, drill and drill bits for metal, wrenches, grinder, welding machine.

an angle grinder at the barrel, the side parts are cut out. Then the workpiece is cut into three pieces. Two of them are welded along the contour. The remaining third of the barrel needs to be divided into metal strips, which will be the bucket knives. Three 6mm diameter holes are drilled into them for attachment to the edge of the bucket. Instead of a barrel, you can use a metal sheet, which will need to be bent by heating.

A strip of metal is welded to the bottom of the bucket to make it heavier. The metal strip is completely covered with rubber to prevent wear. The bucket is then attached to the tiller. To protect against corrosion, a homemade bucket is primed and painted.

You can turn a wheeled tiller into a snowmobile using a trailer and winter wheels. With the help of a channel, the trailer is fixed to the frame. Used truck cameras are used instead of expensive wheels. On each wheel, the deflated chamber is secured with chains and inflated again. Equipping a snowmobile machine is quite simple and homemade sleds.

How to design a trencher?

A homemade trencher is a hinged attachment to the tiller, which allows you to quickly and effortlessly dig trenches and holes. It is a kind of compact excavator that is both maneuverable and economical. Moves on a wheeled or tracked chassis.

The digger attachment allows you to dig trenches and holes even in frozen ground. The walls of the trenches are flat, without shedding. The excavated soil is light and crumbly and can be used for backfilling.

Two cutters are fixed on the front suspension, on the rear. a shovel for extracting soil from the trench. It is imperative to attach safety guards to the cutting discs and the chain drive. By the same principle, a drill bit is made from a metal rod and plates.

How to make a flat cutter with your own hands?

A practical addition to the tiller is the flat cutter. This is an irreplaceable assistant who creates beds, weeds and spuds plantings, levels, falls asleep, loosens the ground. The possibilities of such a nozzle are almost endless.

If you place the blades of the plane cutter on the left and lead in the same plane with the soil, then you can weed or loosen the ground. Raising the appliance slightly, the blades turned to the left will mow tall weeds. If the blades look down, then it is easy to create beds with them.

A flat cutter will again help to form grooves for planting and fill in the seeds. This is the function of the burier.

You can use the Fokin plane cutter as a hitch for a tiller. He has the necessary holes for hanging on the structure. If a flat cutter of a different size is required, then you can make it yourself. Drawings and a small metal workpiece will help with this.

The metal must be of sufficient thickness and strength so that in the future it can function as a blade. The sheet is heated with a blowtorch and bent according to the pattern. When the plane cutter is in shape, it is cooled with water. In order for this workpiece to become an attachment, it is necessary to make holes for fasteners and sharpen the workpiece with an angle grinder.

A sheet of metal can be replaced with a piece of pipe, to which pieces of metal are attached like blades. They need to be sharpened.

Manufacturing of other suspended structures

So, to cultivate the land, a plow is needed that can overcome virgin soil overgrown with grass, wet or stale soil. To make it, you need a steel plate about 5 mm thick. Using the rollers, the plate is bent into a cylinder. Edges sharpen angle grinder.

The resulting home-made plow is hung on the tiller’s stand through the hitch.

By the same principle, it is easy to make a furrow-forming attachment. It is good if there are racks from the cultivator. They can be attached to a corner or made two racks from scrap materials. For this, plates are cut from a metal sheet with a thickness of 1.5-2 mm. The size of the plates should correspond to the depth and width of the furrow. They are fastened with bolts to the struts of the structure. You can use such a nozzle for instillation. One has only to give the plates the required shape. They should be in the form of a disc or circle, located at a certain angle. From above, such plates are located closer than below. Due to this, the discs, while rotating, open the cavities outward.

The cranberry tiller attachment contains a self-propelled crawler platform. The intake is fixed on the swing frame of the platform. It is made in the form of a box with bent parallel teeth. Moving, the device with the help of the fan pulls the berries into the box. The fan is powered by the engine. Screw-shaped spirals are installed in the box.

Plucked cranberries are heavier than garbage, so they fall to the bottom of the container. Leaves, small specks that fall along with the cranberries, along with the air flow from the fan, are removed through the hole.

The tiller brush is used to clean the area not only from leaves, but also from shallow snow. Simplicity, efficiency and versatility of use are the obvious advantages of this hinged element. A brush shaft is vertically attached to the tiller. A ring and discs with brushes are alternately put on it. The diameter of the rings is 350 mm. The width of the grip of such a brush is usually made no more than one meter. This allows the tiller to remain manoeuvrable and cover a fairly large surface area for cleaning.

The length of the bristles is 40-50 cm, otherwise it will soon begin to wrinkle and wrinkle. It will not be possible to restore the properties of the bristles, just attach new discs. The speed of the tiller with the attached brush fluctuates in the range of 2-5 km / h, depending on the engine power of the unit.

Features of the Air Rotary Snow Blower

The simplest snow thrower is based on air-rotor action. Usually this is a box that can be moved on small skis in the snow. There is a rotor inside. The drive to the rotor is carried out from a stand-alone engine or from the power take-off shaft of the tiller.

The receiving part of the box is made so that, when moving forward, the snow flows onto the rotor blades. Further, the mass is ejected by rotating blades through the nozzle located above. Its deflector can be directed in any direction. Therefore, the snow is thrown to the left or right, where it is required in a particular case.

The peculiarity of the device is that, in addition to snow, a fairly powerful air flow is formed. Therefore, a snow-air mixture forms at the exit, which can fly up to 5-6 m.This is enough to clean the passages.

The disadvantages of air-ventilation snow blowers include a relatively narrow grip, as well as the impossibility of snow removal in the presence of a caked mass. When clearing passages immediately after snow falls, a snow thrower of this type has a fairly high performance. DIYers quite often take a similar design as a basis. The main thing is to create a high rotor speed.

Snow blower device

The mounted auger snow blower has a metal body with a shaft inside. On the shaft there are auger blades made of steel sheet of complex shape. The shaft is mounted in bearings, which allows it to rotate.

The rotor is visible inside. A swivel pipe is located above the rotor. It can be turned in any direction. There is a hitch for mounting the auger snow blower, inside which the power take-off shaft (PTO) of the tiller is located.

The torque is transferred to the actuators. When the auger shaft rotates and moves forward, the snow is captured by the blades and moves from the periphery to its center. The snow mass, moving along the augers, collapses, its structure changes, so it will be easy to throw it aside.

From the auger pick-up mechanism, snow flows onto the rotor blades. Here, its translational movement is converted into rotational movement. It receives tangential acceleration and is thrown through the nozzle in a given direction: to the right or to the left in the direction of the snow blower. Here the operator guides the deflector so that the removed snow does not interfere with the work.

How to make a homemade tiller snow blower

With the onset of winter, the demand for snow removal equipment for the home increases markedly. Removable devices are especially appreciated, which can be used in conjunction with mini tractors and tillers. Some do-it-yourselfers also display their snow removal equipment for sale on various sites, stock exchanges and message boards. Let’s talk about how to independently make a snow blower for a tiller with your own hands.

To make a snow blower yourself, you need:

• to study the device and principle of operation of known machines for mechanized snow removal;
• decide on the type of snow plow attachment for the tiller, which you can make yourself;
• find working drawings or develop them yourself;
• work out the technology and procedure for performing work;
• purchase or prepare a tool for the manufacture of parts and assemblies;
• collect materials and components for the future snow blower.

DIY snowblower tools

Any work can be done only if you have a tool, so it is advisable to have:

• electric drill. without it, it is impossible to make holes of a given diameter in the right places;
• riveter. will help create strong permanent joints in sheet material;
• electric welding machine. required for welding the frame, as well as individual units;
• angle grinder. will be used for cutting steel blanks, as well as for cleaning welded joints;
• scissors for metal;
• measuring tool. used to mark and control the parameters of parts, as well as the entire snow blower (usually a caliper, tape measure and ruler are enough);
• hand tools for fixing parts and temporary fasteners. will allow you to work efficiently and with minimal effort;
• slipway. even the simplest one, made of wooden blocks, will help simplify the assembly process, the design of the snow blower has a spatial structure that needs to be assembled, fixing individual parts and assemblies in different places.

Types of devices for mechanized snow removal

Mechanical home-made snow blowers are equipped with internal combustion engines. Most often, they are mounted (trailed attachments), they are mounted to tillers or tractors, including mini tractors. They are distinguished by their low weight and uncomplicated device.

According to the principle of operation, snowblowers are divided into:

• auger-rotor devices having two types of active organs: auger or augers that move snow to the rotor inlet, and the rotor itself, which throws snow in the right direction;
• dump grader or bulldozer type. operate on the principle of mechanical movement of the snow mass, more often such devices are used on self-propelled vehicles;
• blade shovel used in conjunction with tillers to shift snow in confined spaces;
• air-ventilating units. applicable only to freshly fallen snow, they are very small in size and extremely simple device, snow removal occurs due to the created air flow.

The most widely used are rotary auger snow blowers. They cope well with snow cover of various sizes. Sometimes there are problems with caked snow, so in expensive installations there is also an auxiliary shaft with spikes that destroy the compacted snow. In some devices, the augers are equipped with additional removable toothed nozzles, they cut a dense mass of snow.

Making a rotary snow blower for a tiller with your own hands

For the independent manufacture of a mounted home-made auger snow blower (auger rotor), you need to think over the placement of the main elements of the equipment, and also tie the dimensions to the existing tiller. Therefore, first of all, a layout diagram of the device is created.

It is important to develop a mechanism for transmitting torque from the power take-off shaft to the executive elements of the snowblower.

Necessary materials

To make a rotary-type snow blower, you need to purchase:

• roofing galvanized sheet, it will be used for the manufacture of screw and rotor bodies, as well as a branch pipe for ejection of snow with a deflector;
• an equal-field corner of 40 or 50 mm, it will go to the manufacture of the frame;
• a sheet of steel with a thickness of 2 mm, from which the blades of the auger and rotor will be cut;
• a profile pipe will be needed for the manufacture of brackets;
• bearing housings and the bearings themselves for installing the shaft;
• a pipe or circle with an outer diameter of 30 millimeters or more will be used as shafts;
• pulleys, sprockets and other transmission elements;
• hardware for creating detachable connections.

Assembling the adapter for the tiller

First, make the frame. It is made from pieces of metal of the required length. The metal is cut by an angle grinder and the parts are connected by welding or screws.

Then they carry out the chassis. When the cultivator motor is located at the front, then the base wheels determine the track gauge. The rear ones are attached to the frame using an axle. It must be made from a pipe of the required diameter. Bushings with bearings are attached to its ends.

Then wheels are mounted on them. When the cultivator motor is at the rear, the tread should be wider. Otherwise, the structure will not be able to maintain balance during operation. Then the base cultivator wheels must be removed and fixed on a wide axle.

To make your own steering wheel, you do not need to remove the handle of the car. If you use the handle from the cultivator, you can control the entire structure using the motorcycle handlebar. But it will be difficult to back up. Therefore, it is best to mount a sturdy steering column.

Consider the manufacture of a frame for a trailer of a motor cultivator. With a solid metal frame, steering will be directed to the front axle of the unit. You can make a frame on hinges, while the steering column will rotate completely onto the front frame. To achieve this, mount the gear to the front frame.

The second gear is mounted on the steering column. Then a seat for the tractor driver is made. It can be taken from a car. The seat is welded onto the frame. It can be regulated. This is especially necessary for the front type device. The driver’s seat is now attached.

To attach the trailer to the plow tiller, a bracket must be installed. To work with the mower, you need to make a hydraulic system. To work on the device, you need to weld the towbar from the car to the rear, where the metal frame is located. The pump can be borrowed from any unit for agricultural work.

The hitch for the cultivator is U-shaped. This requires a channel profile. The hitch is installed under the steering column. In this case, it is necessary to drill the holes that are marked in the drawing. A bracket and a pin are mounted through them. The components are made of high quality steel. It is also possible to perform a caterpillar mechanism.

Thus, all the necessary parts and assemblies of the adapter for the cultivator are made. Now you need to assemble the entire structure. After that, it needs to be checked and tested in work. If all components are operating normally, then you can start operating the unit.

With movable joint

With a movable hitch of a trailer with a cultivator, the angle of the vertical axis between the cart and the cultivator changes. It is easier to make such a device, but when turning, you will need to apply more strength. This type of trailer is inferior in geometric characteristics: the turning radius becomes larger.

Do-it-yourself steering wheel on the tiller

The steering wheel tiller adapter makes maneuvering easier and more stable. Making a steering wheel for a tiller with your own hands is quite easy if you have basic welding skills.

You can create a structure from a steering gear from a car; it is better to use a steering column with a bipod from trucks, tractors. The bipod can be used to hitch the rear adapter to the cultivator. The steering arm is indispensable if the trailer design does not imply steering levers. When making an adapter with a steering wheel for a tiller, you can make a ball joint that allows the wheel to turn freely in a horizontal plane.

If the equipment is used for plowing the ground or other difficult work, then it is better to make the steering and the trailer-tiller connection mechanism independent, since there will be a large load on the hitch unit.

Front (rear) steering wheel tiller adapter: how to do it yourself, videos, drawings and dimensions

Many farmers use tillers to work in their fields. The tiller adapter makes it possible to speed up its implementation. This unit is used as a trailer that moves on wheels and is attached to a motor cultivator. Attachments can be added to the device, a chair can be mounted. Often gardeners themselves make such a unit.

Front and rear adapters

There are several types of trailers, depending on which wheels are driving:

• Front-wheel drive. The unit is fixed behind the tiller. This is the simplest and most popular modification. It makes it possible to easily operate the cultivator and carry out a large amount of work.
• Rear drive. The unit is located in front of the cultivator. This design makes it possible to carry out work when using a hitch located at the rear of the cultivator.
• Four-wheel drive. The trailer can be located both in front and behind the cultivator. This design differs from the previous ones in that not 2 wheels rotate, but all 4 wheels at once. Such a device performs the functions of a mini-tractor. This increases the maneuverability of the structure, its cross-country ability, additional adhesion to the soil is carried out. The 4×4 drive is considered the most efficient.

The rear adapter is the most common type of tiller trailer. It can be used as a trolley (lifting capacity about 100 kg), for aggregation with attachments for plowing, mowing, snow removal, etc.

Steering trailer allows maneuvering in different terrain, making the operator’s job easier. It can be inconvenient and dangerous to operate the structure using the steering wheel of the cultivator itself. When working in a field with uneven terrain or in a vegetable garden, it is better to use a trailer with a steering wheel for a tiller, as it is easier to drive.

In order to make a rear adapter with your own hands, readily available materials are suitable. The basis of the trailer design is the frame; it can be made of a metal profile or a metal pipe. The hitch assembly can be movable or rigid. In the second case, a change in the cultivator itself will be required, so the creation of a movable hitch is less complicated.

The rear adapter is used for work that requires constant supervision (hilling the beds), so the design necessarily includes a seat for the operator’s convenience. It also facilitates the work of the presence of steering, which is made from the steering mechanisms of any vehicles.

Scheme and structural elements

To make an adapter with your own hands, the drawings and diagrams of this device must be completed first of all. And according to the ready-made scheme, indicating all the parts, assemblies, structural elements and their dimensions, it will be easier to start the independent manufacture of the unit.

Drawings and dimensions

First you need to complete the drawing. The first step is to calculate the kinetic scheme. Then they carry out the basic diagram, which indicates the dimensions of all parts. All parts, assemblies and fasteners of the structure will be manufactured according to this scheme. Before starting to create an aggregate, you need to clarify all the data available on the diagram and check their compliance with the indicators of all blanks.

Varieties of adapters for tiller

There are several types of tiller adapter. The design is distinguished by the coupling method:

• Strong connection to the cultivator. The device has a separate steering wheel. Steering wheels located at the front or rear (both options are possible).
• Movable connection. At the same time, the angle between the cultivator and the trolley changes all the time. Turning requires a lot of effort, due to the fact that the connection point is movable.

Devices are also subdivided according to the presence of driving wheels into:

• Front. The hitch assembly is at the back.
• Rear. The hitch assembly is located at the front.

Trailers are divided into:

• simple;
• universal.

In addition to garden work, universal ones are useful for transporting crops.

Trailers are divided according to the drawbar size:

• a short;
• long.

Low-power tillers are attached to structures with a short drawbar. Trailers with a long drawbar are attached to powerful cultivators.

There are 2 types of trailers: 1-axle or 2-axle. These couplings are factory designed by the manufacturer. The factory calculated such a structure and mounted a towbar on it. A spring was installed under the seat, designed for the smooth running of the car on rocky surfaces.

The APM has special footboards and a brake that is pressed by the foot to stop the cultivator. The adapter was fitted with pneumatic tires, which provide a smooth ride at high speed.

If all parts are working well, you can start using the device. When buying a structure, you must also choose a soft pad for the seat. Then the driver’s work will become more convenient. The HorsAM IS 1 adapter to the Magnum tiller, adapters to the PNO-1, AM-3 K, BUM-3, KTZ-03 cultivators are very popular among farmers.

Of belts and chains

In order to make a tracked all-terrain vehicle from a tiller, you can use conventional V-shaped belts. The connection of the belts to each other is carried out by grousers attached to them on rivets or screws. This gives us a belt track.

To make a goose from chains (chain tracks), you need to take two pieces of the same chain of the required length.

• The end links of both segments are expanded in order to connect them into two closed rings.
• The unclenched links are clamped again, and then welded for strength.
• Sections are cut from steel of the required thickness, which will serve as lugs.
• The lugs are bolted at both ends to the links of both closed chains, thus forming a raised track on the tiller.

How to make a caterpillar for a tiller with your own hands

If you wish, you can independently modify your tiller, turning it into a tracked all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile. The main rule is that you should take into account what kind of work the tracks are intended for in order to choose the right material, because they must be not only durable, but also extremely light.

Having the materials at hand, having correctly calculated the length of the caterpillar, you can make it yourself using simple improvised means.

The first step is to equip your tiller with an extra pair of wheels. For each side pair, a caterpillar track will be worn.

The length of each of the two goslings will be equal to the circumference of one wheel and the distance between the axles of each pair of wheels, multiplied by two.

Important: the wheels on the tiller must be of the same diameter.

The material for homemade products can be:

• conventional conveyor belt and bush-roller chain;
• car tires;
• belts and chains.

So, let’s consider several options for making a goose yourself, depending on the material used.

From wooden blocks

Sometimes, if the load on the goose is not very large, birch blocks can be used as tracks. They are not particularly durable for heavy loads, but they are lightweight, affordable, and a track with such tracks can be repaired at any convenient place.

Homemade caterpillars for a tiller with your own hands

To increase the throughput of the tiller and use it as an all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile, you can equip it with tracks. They can be purchased ready-made, but they are expensive, and it is not always possible to find the right option for your tiller. There are several ways how to make a caterpillar for a tiller with your own hands.

Using our recommendations, you can easily turn your wheeled trailer into a tracked all-terrain vehicle. At the same time, you will not need expensive materials and too much time.

From plastic pipes

You can use pieces of plastic pipe as tracks on a goose for a snowmobile. To do this, cut the plastic water pipe 0 into lengths equal to the width of the caterpillar. Use a circular saw to cut each piece lengthwise into two equal halves, or use a circular saw for wood.

The resulting tracks must be attached at regular intervals to the conveyor belt with furniture bolts with large hemispherical caps.

Iron tracks

The most reliable are metal tracks made of high quality iron. For this purpose, metal pipes or a profile cut into pieces of the required length are suitable. A profile metal pipe is cut according to the same principle as a plastic one and is attached to a conveyor belt with bolts.

However, metal tracks, despite their noticeable strength, also have their drawbacks: they are heavy compared to plastic and wooden ones, and can bend during use. To straighten the track, you need to remove it from the goose, and this is a laborious operation.

When choosing the material from which the track links will be made for your mini-all-terrain vehicle, you should evaluate the degree of load and operating conditions. To overcome the snowy expanses on a homemade snowmobile, light plastic or wooden tracks are perfect, and to use the tiller as a mini-tractor, it is still better to make a caterpillar with metal lugs.

From conveyor belt

This method is the simplest, since it does not require a large number of special tools and auxiliary materials.

• When choosing a belt for a caterpillar, give preference to a strip with a thickness of at least 7 mm, because it has a fairly large load. Hitching with moving parts will be provided by a sleeve-roller chain.
• To give the tape strength and increase its operational life, it is recommended to sew along the edges of the tape with frequent stitches with a step of about 10 mm.
• It is also necessary to sew the tape along the ends in order to connect it into a ring of the required diameter, or use, for greater reliability, hinges resembling a piano canopy.
• Make sure that the additional wheelset you install on the tiller frame is the same diameter as the main wheels on the tiller.

Homemade track links

You can also make your own homemade goose tracks from any suitable material. The main thing to consider is how much work you are going to give your tiller.
