Oil change in the power tiller
After about 100 hours of engine use, the oil in the engine must be changed; sometimes this procedure must be done after 50 hours. Only use the type that meets all requirements and conditions of use. So what oil to pour in a single axle tractor?
The procedure for changing the oil consists of several operations:
- set the single axle tractor horizontally;
- using a strong screwdriver remove the plug on the tank drain;
- pour the contents into a prepared container (volume must be at least 2 l), the whole process will take about 20 min.;
- screw back the drain plug of the tank;
- pour the right quantity of oil for power tillers into the gearbox; then close the hole. Be careful when filling with oil so it does not drip down the walls.
The most suitable oil for use is 10w30. If you use 4-stroke oil for your powerpack it is a good idea. Thanks to its anti-corrosion properties the engine will last much longer. When used in combination with special additives the effect of work is intensified.
Sometimes users buy unlubricated power tillers, in this case it is necessary to fill them with fresh lubricants before using them. To make the right choice, you must use quality, reliable, and suitable oil for your motor-block. Particular attention should be paid to the viscosity (the indicator is indicated on the label). According to this criterion, the oil with marking SAI, API. But first you should carefully read the manual, which will clearly indicate the recommended lubricant variation.
Gear oil for your motorblock varies, and its quality almost always depends on price. But in any case, its high cost will pay off, because the engine repair will cost a pretty penny, and it will also become a big trouble.
It is important to use oil from reputable manufacturers if possible, their quality lubrication will protect the gearbox of your motoblock. The main thing in this matter is not to get caught on a fake. When choosing your oil pay attention to its properties, and also what time of year it is intended for.

Tillage operations are performed by the MK rotary cultivator. Cultivator cutters as they rotate cut the soil layers, crumbling and mixing them, while causing forward movement of the MC.
The advantage of the rotary cultivator compared to the plough is better soil loosening, chopping and incorporation of weeds, as well as uniform mixing of organic and mineral fertilizers on the entire depth of cultivation.
Application of the MC is also recommended on clayey heavy soils, as it has a high torque on the shaft and grinds the soil well.
Tillage of virgin soil by milling is not recommended. This breaks the agro-technology of tillage.
MK Tarpan consists of the following main parts ;
- Power unit including engine, coupling device, centrifugal clutch, steering
- Operating unit including worm gearing, rotary cultivator left, rotary cultivator right, depth regulator, bracket, protective hood.
Additional hinged implements and accessories for widening of furrow preparation, weeding, weeding row spacing and other operations are available separately and designed to expand the functional capabilities of the power tiller.

Operating principle of MK: MK shaft is driven by a gearbox from the engine, on which tillage cutters of a rotary cultivator are installed. Cutters rotate to loosen topsoil and simultaneously move MC forward. MK design allows fast separation of power unit 1 from executive unit 2. To do this, release the hinged bolts 3.
Power unit includes a unit with 4-stroke engine 1, coupling device 2, clutch 3 and steering 4
MOTOR. For the structure of the engine, see the Engine Manual.
Steering control system allows to adjust position of levers in vertical and horizontal planes. It enables to cultivate beds without trampling the soil when steering control is turned horizontally. For ease of transportation (size reduction), the steering wheel should be turned towards the engine.
The engine remote control unit allows you to change the engine speed with the control lever 2 and stop the engine by pushing the lever down as far as it will go.
The centrifugal clutch transmits engine torque to the gearbox when the engine reaches the required RPM. Clutch provides MC for clutchless starting.
WARNING! Do not start the engine while the power pack is not coupled with the gear unit or other implement in order to avoid damage to the coupling parts.
It is RECOMMENDED to drop 1-2 drops of engine oil once a season between the pad axle and the bushing 4 (two places) used in the engine to improve clutch performance.
Gear unit (Fig.5) single stage, worm, with an oil bath. The gear housing has flanges with holes for mounting the transport device and other attachments.
Cultivators 1, 2 left and right are installed on the gearbox shaft and fixed with axles with locks.
stand behind the handlebar and grasp the handles firmly;
Slowly actuate the control lever on the engine speed regulator and gently increase the engine speed;
when the engine has reached the desired RPM, the centrifugal clutch is automatically engaged, the gear shaft starts to rotate and the MK begins to move. The working depth of the rotary cultivator tines is set in accordance with the position of the depth regulation lever. which can be changed by repositioning it in the bracket through the holes in the regulator.
The depth of the tiller into the ground is adjusted by pushing the steering control. the depth regulator sinks into the ground and the forward speed is reduced. The deeper the regulator enters the ground, the lower the travel speed of the MC and the greater the working depth. If the MC does not move forward and the cutters dig into the ground lift it by the steering wheel.
If the MC is pulling to the side of the machined area, move the working MC to the opposite side. Turn the cultivator by tilting it to the right or left. ATTENTION! Maintain a sufficient distance between machines, depending on the steering length.
When turning, do not pull the mower towards you. When cultivating loose, light soils, do not allow the tillers to sink in completely, which would overload the engine. On heavy soils, work in several phases, each time increasing the working depth to create a good crumbling of the clods and a more even soil structure. Mow and remove vegetation before working in areas with high vegetation. When cultivating areas with plant residue, plant residue can wind up on the tines of the MK rotary cultivator.
Periodic cleaning of the tines. To reduce winding of plant debris on the cutters, you can use sabre-shaped blades, used on MK Mole, Salyut. During operation of the MC, blunting of rotary cultivator blades occurs, which impairs their penetration into the soil, reduces the working depth per pass, reduces productivity. Sharpen blades as needed.
Maintenance of the Tarpan cultivator
Maintenance hours and calendars should be observed depending on which of the following occurs first. In severe operating conditions more frequent maintenance is necessary.
Maintenance of the engine should be performed according to the Engine Manual”.
