The small electric cultivator

Among the many brands available in the modern Russian market of small agricultural equipment, consumer always particularly attracted domestic companies. Even though this technique is not done in our country – it is not important, important service. These include quite an interesting little cultivator KB 4 from the company Elitech.

And it is interesting for its very affordable price and the fact that it comes in 2 versions – with a petrol engine and electric though assembled on the same chassis. Their difference in mobility.

Electrical (model KB 4E) attached to the outlet 220, but is much easier to maintain and does not require fuel. It basically determines its scope of use as the unit for soil treatment in closed rooms – greenhouses and greenhouses. Its electric motor has an output of 2 kW is a very large capacity for electric cultivators. Its body is equipped with a solid heatsink that allows it to operate continuously for a very long time. Motor brushless type and therefore reliability it is practically eternal. The total weight of the cultivator with a motor and fixed cutter 32 kg.





Petrol cultivator (model KB 4) a little easier – his weight is 30 kg, is not tied to the mains, but to work in greenhouses and conservatories due to harmful diesel exhaust with him only if you have good ventilation. It requires much more attention, it needs fuel, and since the engine is 4-cycle – even and constant control of the oil in the crankcase. Engine power is almost the same – 3 HP, which is equivalent to 2.2 HP, but from experience it follows that the electric motor is much more torquey, and it is much easier to work with. The fuel consumption is 0.5 l per hour, the capacity of the fuel tank – 1.6 l manual Runs from the starter like a chainsaw. Cooling – air.

These 2 small cultivator that is usually in this category petrol and electric cultivators are rare. Gasoline weight starts from 40 kg electric are usually weighing up to 20 kg and with a capacity below 1.5 kW. So these machines occupy a vacant niche among agricultural technology, and therefore can be of interest to the owners of land of 8-10 acres, mostly farmers and gardeners.

Basically both of the cultivator is designed for cultivation of the land to cultivation after plowing, application of organic and other fertilizers mainly in cultivated areas, but with fewer cutters can be ploughed and virgin soil. Grip the cultivators belt, controlled by a lever mounted on the steering wheel to the left. The handle of the gas valve as the handle start the engine-the electric version is on the right. The gearbox of the cultivator, chain, collapsible chain. This gear is very narrow and as a result, reducing the resistance to progress on the plowed soil. The depth of cultivation, claimed the plant is 15 cm, width of 45 cm treatment, but because of the narrow gear you can really "dig" into the soil almost to the depth of the cutter diameter – 26 cm

Height adjustment of Coulter sets the depth of immersion of the cutter. A rototiller consists of 4 sections. Can be set as 2 and 4 sections. With Coulter is structurally integrated transport wheels. After removing the wheel, the Coulter can be set in position for solid ground and if you turn – for soft. For ease of use, control arms can be adjusted in height and tilt. With the removed wheel cultivator becomes much more compact and it is very convenient to carry on any transport. Unfortunately, the small cultivator is designed only to work with the mill. Despite the fact that it is possible to install the cleats, pulling power and the weight of the machine is too small for plowing with a plow or Hiller. However, such a use is possible.

And finally, about the prices and guarantees. The owner of the brand when selling its products, the brand offers a warranty of 12 months. At the beginning of April 2014 the price of a tiller KB 4 was approximately 14,000 rubles, electrochlorinator KB 4E – 11.000.
