Both motor-cultivators, and motor-blocks are the equipment of small-scale mechanization which is used during the agricultural works. It is possible to carry out big range of works with their help – cultivation, plowing, loosening and many others. The difference between motor-cultivator and the motor-block consists only in bigger universality of the last.
To choose the correct and necessary equipment, it is necessary to know about its types, versions and differences in purpose.
Equipment types
In modern specialized shops it is possible to see electric cultivators which also call just electrocultivators, models on accumulators and petrolcultivators.
The first kind of the equipment is recommended to application on small garden sites with the small number of necessary works. The reason for that – the fact that similar cultivators need to be connected to the electrical outlet and to pull for itself cable on long distance not always possibly. But there is also great advantage – electrocultivators have the small weight and the sizes at the expense of what to work with them very conveniently.
More maneuverable, than electric analogs, accumulator cultivators, can work without continuous access to the power supply network. They are recommended to be used during the works on small garden sites in cases of need of loosening or plowing.
The similar type of cultivators is not intended for complex works and soil cultivation deeply.
Petrol motor-cultivators represent the most widespread and demanded type of the equipment. They are not limited on power, do not depend on electricity or accumulators and are absolutely autonomous. Four-stroke engines, and their power are the most extended to them (and, as a result, the price) from 1 to 6 kW differ.
What motor-cultivator to apply to certain type of works?
The easy type of the equipment can get on depth up to 20-25 centimeters and is used for work within small greenhouses, beds or flower beds. At the expense of the small sizes of motor-cultivators, the high mobility of application in narrow or hard-to-reach spots is reached. Ordinary complete with the similar equipment also replaceable mills with various width are on sale, and the weight of cultivators does not exceed 40 kilograms. The motor-cultivators carried to average type weigh from 40 and up to 60 kilograms, are steadier in work and have the engine bigger, than at lungs, power. Besides, the equipment is supplied not only the front, but also rear drive that considerably facilitates work process and to connect not only to okuchnik, but also to small plow.
The popularity and prevalence of this type of the equipment is explained by bigger fnuktsionalnost, simplicity in the address and also large number of replaceable and additional equipment.
Heavy motor-blocks can get on soil depth into 60-65 centimeters and about 60 kilograms weigh. Ordinary all similar equipment – petrol. The main distinctive feature of such motor-blocks – availability of the gearbox that increases possibilities of work with the device and its repair if necessary.
