What characteristics endowed with a Zubr JR-Q12E walker

A large plot allows you to collect impressive yields, but there are also their own inconveniences. They relate to the process of digging - it is too laborious to do it manually, whereas it is also irrational to drive a tractor. And here comes to the aid compact, but productive technology. Let's see what the representative of this segment is notable for - the diesel walking tractor of the famous brand "Bison".

Acquaintance with the walk-behind tractor

Having already looked at the photo, it becomes clear that the device is impressive, and the whole structure is the same. The fact is that the "twelfth" is the most powerful of all the products of this brand. This tiller is equipped with a 12-horsepower engine. A differential lock is also provided, which, together with the 12-inch wheels, ensures good maneuverability and maneuverability on different types of soil. High herringbone protector will not let you get stuck even on snowy ground.

A large total weight (280 kg) is suitable for processing difficult areas. If we consider the width of the wheel track (65-73 cm), it becomes clear that the heavy tiller of the Bison series looks more like a mini-tractor than a “mechanized shovel”. This is not surprising - the machine is designed for processing large areas.

Controls made on the steering knobs. Selection of the desired transmission is carried out in the same place, which somewhat simplifies management. The price often becomes an argument in favor of such a purchase: being in an average price gap, this unit is not inferior in functionality to premium-class models. This is indicated by its main parameters.

The "passport" data convinces once again - we have a serious car in front of us:

Equipment

After reviewing the general data of the model, we will learn more about its main components and a set of attachments. They are the ones who pay attention when choosing such equipment.

Gear shift

The gearbox has a reduction row, which is convenient when operating at low revs. The mechanism itself is enclosed in a sturdy casing, which makes oil less clogged. Transmitting torque shafts docked with the drive and box. In such places there are strong seals. Note another useful option. Under the engine, you can also put a second gearbox, which when connected increases the power.It is suitable for the slow transportation of heavy trailers or for handling difficult soils, where speed is not particularly needed.

Engine

Such a Bison tiller, as we already know, has a diesel power 12 l. with. It is installed horizontally, which facilitates maintenance. Everybody knows about the efficiency of diesel engines - the nozzle (aka mono-injector) is much more “thrifty” than the carburetors. For stable operation in different modes, a liquid cooling system was used (the “air vent” would not cope with such loads). Heat from the hot parts of the motor absorbs grease supplied by a gear pump. He is assisted by a special capacitor working on the output.

The electronic ignition module can be replaced by the usual mechanical, which is used in the cold season (when the fuel does not ignite well). The "engine" with all the systems is rather heavy - 115 kg. But this is offset by good traction and a great resource of all its nodes.

Attachments and accessories

The basic set includes a plow and pochvofreza. The list of accessories is much longer and includes:

• flat cutter;
• various hillers;
• plow (standard or reversible);
• wider harrow;
• dump;
• potato planter;
• potato digger (both screen and standard);
• mower;
• wheel extenders;
• weights

To install such add-ons, the casing of the motoblock is equipped with brackets and mounting "ears". For extensions and axles special niches are provided. But for some devices this is not enough - you have to install adapters.

What can the walker in your garden

With such technical characteristics, a well-tuned Zubr walk-behind tractor will perform many agricultural works.

Here are the main ones:

• plowing and surface treatment of the soil (harrowing). For this purpose, plows, flat cutters, mills and harrows are used;

• planting crops with a seeder. Aloof is the potato, which requires a special nozzle;
• fertilizer plot. In such cases, attach the bunker with fertilizing material;
• inter-row treatments with an attached hoe;
• the passage of rows with hillers;
• spraying. Travel at low speed allows you to evenly process the plants;
• The pump used for irrigation can be attached to the power shaft. A great option for those whose garden is located near the reservoir.

More rarely, powerful tillers are used when harvesting hay. Many owners cherish the engine, which in this case works almost for nothing (there is no load that during plowing). But for the transportation of "Bison" fit perfectly - just take the trailer.

How to use

Long-term operation is possible only with proper use and care. If the unit is purchased new, you will have to run.

First check the level of fuel and oil.If they are normal, start the engine and calmly warm it for a few minutes. It is possible to twist turns if the engine worked not less than half an hour. In this case, consistently "drive" all the transmissions, not giving full power - the nodes and connections only get ground.

After 6-7 hours of work, the loads increase (slightly above average), make flights with "sheds". Instruction advises to run in the first 24 motorcycle hours. After running in it, MOT and thorough inspection are carried out. Particular attention is paid to:

• bearings and seals;
• reliability of the plug and control spring;
• all shafts, axles and drives.

If necessary, worn parts change. Be sure to fill in a fresh portion of oil and clean open nodes from dirt. The working groups of the units have their own oil: at the hinges or unclenching brackets on the clutch, this is the recommended engine oil, whereas in the bearings on this clutch they lay solid oil. In addition to timely service, the intervals of which are described in the instructions, the driving style is also important.The main thing - do not forget to squeeze the clutch when changing to another gear and gently release the lever after it.

Each of the attachments has its own specifics and processing speed. But there is a general rule: do not immediately "tear" from the spot, especially when plowing.

Advantages and disadvantages

As with any complex mechanism, the Zubr has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of this motoblock include:

• power and endurance;
• the possibility of long-term work in different modes;
• a large list of mounted sets;
• good cross;
• maneuverability.

Of the minuses most often noted:

1. Weak clutch bearings - "relatives" are trying to change immediately.
2. The need for frequent change of consumables (belts and hoses) under heavy loads.
3. With unaccustomed hard to handle heavy tillers. Many are not satisfied with the vibration.

The rest of the problems during operation does not arise (of course, with normal care and change of working fluids).

Now you know what is the most powerful of the produced "Bison".We hope this information will help when choosing equipment for the site. Great harvests!
