DIY tiller motor-drill

Drill paddle | You’ve GOT to see this thing!

TOOL FOR HOME AND GARDEN, NEEDLEWORK, ETC. PRICES VERY LOW

All this technique is created to facilitate work on the personal plot, to make work efficient and productive. But if a large number of additional equipment (plow, harrow, potato digger, mower, trolley) is produced and sold for the tiller, which increases the range of its functions, then the snow blower is used only in winter. There is not always a lot of snow at this time, therefore it rarely works..

Other rework options

In addition, it will also be possible to make other technique out of the tiller. For example, you can get a dumper, pneumatic drive or vibrating plate. Also, some craftsmen make a loader or snowmobile from a tiller. Many people use tillers to harvest corn..

Snowmobile

This design serves to make it possible to move comfortably in the snow. This will require wide enough wheels. The caterpillar can be retrieved from an old snowmobile. She will be able to fit under the wheels of the tiller. The snowmobile itself is made from a frame, tracks, some suspension elements. The mount can be used from the tiller. This makes an excellent snowmobile, which is also suitable for hunting in the swamps. Therefore, the result is both a swamp vehicle and a snowmobile..

How can you make an ATV and a tricycle?

If we talk about an ATV, then it is important to know that this is a fairly powerful four-wheeled motorcycle. It has a high speed, and you can drive such a unit anywhere. One of the most important parts in it is the motor. That is why ATVs and tricycles, converted from tilers, have shown themselves perfectly. For this, you can use any model, however, motors from the “Neva” are best suited..

In order to make such devices with your own hands, you do not need to redo the tiller especially. The only thing you need to get or do yourself is the drawings. After that, you can proceed to the alteration itself..

The work can be divided into several stages:

  • first you need to expand the wheels;
  • further – you need to install more powerful wheels;
  • after that, you should deal with the frame.

After that, you can start altering the frame. For an ATV or tricycle, you can take a frame from a bike or motorcycle. If it is not there, then any cuttings from water pipes may do. You can attach such a frame with two pins, using a pivot hinge for this..

Then you can start installing the wheels. First, you need to determine which disks you can use. Discs taken from a car will work best. It is necessary to take rubber with a low profile so that it fits more tightly to the discs themselves.

By altering the tiller in this way, as a result, you can get a wonderful device that can move on any road, and the costs will be quite small..

Many fishermen no longer want to go fishing with a conventional drill, so some of them decide to convert the tiller, which is not needed in winter, into an ice ax. You will not need to apply special efforts for this. You just need to rearrange the wheels of the “Zhiguli”, as well as make a nozzle to set the drill in motion. Then you can safely go fishing. In the summer, the tiller will be used again for its intended purpose..

FRAME FOR BODY

From a metal profile pipe with a cross section of 20 40 mm, I made a rectangular frame with dimensions of 450 x 600 mm. On one side of the frame, I fixed caster wheels with a diameter of 250 mm, on the opposite side I welded plates with holes for attachment to the chassis of the snow blower.

The bogie frame was connected to the undercarriage of the snow blower using six bolts with nuts that were used to attach the snow thrower.

What materials may be needed?

To remake a tiller, you need simple tools as well as blueprints. Only when everything you need is at hand, you can start work on the alteration.

Tools you need:

  • a set of keys, as well as drills;
  • electric drill;
  • welding machine;
  • Angle Grinder;
  • different elements for fasteners;
  • screwdriwer set.

EXCELLENT TOOL FOR MASTERS AND NEEDLEWORK AND EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN, HOME AND COTTAGE LITERALLY GIFT – BE SURE YOURSELF. THERE ARE REVIEWS.

SERGEY KHOMYAKOV, FUNNY ON Fiction, HAS ALREADY SURPRISED THE READERS WITH HIS CIRCUITS. HERE AND NOW HE TELLS ABOUT A SELF-PROPELLED DUMP TROLLEY, WHICH CAN BECOME AN INDISPENSABLE ASSISTANT IN A COUNTRY STATION.

Today it is difficult to imagine a modern dacha economy without such mechanical assistants as a tiller, cultivator, trimmer, lawn mower, snow blower and others..

DO NOT ALTER THE STRUCTURE

The snow blower has the same engine as the chiller – the mechanical parts and controls are similar. I thought: why not adapt it for other jobs? For example, for transportation of goods on the site. Specialized self-propelled carts (dumpers) are mass-produced and available for sale. But the price, in my opinion, is unreasonably high, and this makes them unpopular..

There was no need to interfere with the design of the snow blower. It was enough to disconnect the snow thrower from the chassis with the engine and wheels and remove the auger drive belt. The operation is simple – everyone who knows how to use ordinary locksmith tools (keys, screwdriver, pliers) can do it.

Motorized towing vehicle

Sometimes, when buying a factory motorized towing vehicle, you have to face many disadvantages. Therefore, most often they are made by hand. They are strong enough if you use a tiller for this. This design will do its job perfectly, and will also save fuel. In addition, it will be possible to attach compartments to such a structure in order to fold the necessary tools..

BUNKER

From plywood 10 mm thick I made a bunker for the transportation of bulk cargo. Its size and shape may vary. I made a container with dimensions in the upper part of 70 “90 cm, so that the trolley could freely pass through the doorway of 80 cm. I connected the plywood sheets together with self-tapping screws using plastic corners. Reliably, quickly and easily.

tiller

To attach the plywood bin to the front of the trolley frame, I welded regular door hinges. The result is a small dump truck: due to the displacement of part of the load forward relative to the hinges, you do not have to exert much effort during unloading.

This self-propelled cart turned out to be very convenient on the farm. We transported gravel and sand on it, making almost no effort to drag or push the unit. Thanks to the front caster wheels, the control is not at all difficult, the dumper rides on a flat surface without human intervention.

A video about this self-propelled wheelbarrow can be viewed on my starikxo YouTube channel.

For such an assistant, I think this is not so much, considering that the snow blower is idle in the barn or garage all summer, only taking up space.

Those who created the Tilleri had no idea what their craftsmen could transform them into. And the latter did their best: from ordinary tillers they were able to make not only ATVs, but even snowmobiles and tricycles.

How to make a frame

After preparing the tools and accessories necessary to create a mini tractor, the tiller‘s frame is “re-cut” in order to adapt it to an additional pair of wheels, in accordance with the drawing. The platform of the future home-made machine can be made all-metal or break-through using channels or shaped metal pipes. Longitudinal and transverse spars are easy to make – they are cut by an angle grinder and connected by electric welding or fasteners. For greater reliability, bolted connections are combined with additional welding of seams.

When transforming a cultivator into a mini-tractor, it is often a fracture that is used, consisting of two independent half-frames, connected to each other by means of hinges. Thanks to this design, all four wheels of the tractor are almost always in contact with the ground, and they practically do not hang out when using homemade products on an uneven surface or slippery road. This allows you to increase the stability of the mini tractor from the tiller, improve its maneuverability and cross-country ability when carrying out arable and transport operations..

A hinged device is mounted to the front or rear section of the prepared frame according to the scheme, which will allow the tractor to make it possible to work with auxiliary devices. You can immediately weld on the rear hitch for towing a trailer – this will further expand the functionality of a homemade motorcycle tractor obtained from a tiller.

Preparing to create a homemade mini tractor

The process of creating a homemade mini-tractor begins with drawing up a drawing, a kinematic diagram of the future “plowman” and preparing the necessary materials, tools, equipment. If you have the skills, you can develop a scheme for demonstrating the mechanisms and components of the tractor yourself, if not, find a suitable option on the Internet or use the example presented here.

As for the parts and components involved in the modernization of the tiller, you can use a purchased factory kit to convert it into a mini tractor. But this option is not suitable for those who want to make, for example, an all-wheel drive (4×4) tractor and at the same time significantly save money. Therefore, you will have to look for upgraded parts..

So, to create a homemade tractor you will need:

  • Set of tools;
  • Welding equipment;
  • Drill with a set of drills;
  • Metal pipes, channels;
  • Fasteners, hardware (bolts, nuts);
  • angle grinder, discs for working with metal.

Also, in order to make a tractor with your own hands, you will need two suitable wheels, a hitch, a driver’s seat, a steering mechanism, pedals and, of course, a tiller with sufficient weight and power. It is better to opt for a heavy-duty unit with a diesel engine (the Zubr, Neva, Agro, Scout models are well suited). This will make it possible to obtain, as a result of the alteration, a self-made, but productive mini-tractor capable of effectively performing various agrotechnical operations. Surely you want him to carry out not only agricultural functions, but also to be able to pull a trailer..

The weight of the unit to be selected must correspond to the state of the soil on which it is planned to use the homemade product. If it is compacted, dry, then the future mini-tractor is unlikely to cope with the tasks assigned to it. Therefore, the harder the soil, the harder the cultivator will be needed. And the power of its engine should be correlated with the area of ​​the land plot on which agricultural work will be carried out using a motor-tractor. So, the larger the plot, the higher this parameter should be..

Installing the undercarriage

At the end of the installation, the hitching devices are installed on both axles (front, rear), and already on them – the wheels. The rear axle is usually fitted with those that came with a tiller (Scout, Bison, Neva), and wheels from a passenger car or some kind of agricultural machinery are fitted on the front axle. It is important that they have a deep tread – this will make a homemade mini tractor a technique of high cross-country ability and with improved traction of the wheels with the ground. Then the management will be much easier..

To equip a home-made tractor with a full-fledged front running gear, they buy hubs assembled with a brake system and, preferably, complete with steering rods, a steering wheel, a gearbox and a steering column. They can also be altered by removing them from used cars..

Fastening the front wheels to the minitractor is carried out in this way:

  • A metal profile pipe is selected that corresponds to the thickness of the front axle of a homemade tractor;
  • Wheel hubs are attached to the ends of the profile;
  • The hub structure is fixed to the front frame directly in the center;
  • The steering rods are mounted, after which they are aligned with the steering gear;
  • The gearbox is fixed to the frame;
  • Put the steering rod, steering wheel;
  • Adjust the steering column, steering wheel.

Sometimes the front suspension of the tractor is supplemented with spring shock absorbers to provide more comfortable working conditions. After the steering column is assembled according to the drawing, you need to install the rear wheels.

The rear axle of the cultivator is mounted on bearings tightly pressed into spherical bushings. A pulley is mounted on it, which will transmit torque from the engine to the rotating nodes. You can leave the rear wheels of the fractures without a differential – this will simplify the design and minimize the slipping of the future mini tractor when operating on loose soils.

The optimal diameter of the tractor wheels is 30-36 cm (like the Scout T-15 model). If you put a homemade diesel unit on smaller wheels, it will simply roll forward. Fitting large wheels will make the machine unmanageable and impair its maneuverability, especially when working with a trailer. At the end of the installation of the wheels and the steering column, the layout of the main unit of agricultural machinery – the engine.

Mounting the engine and hydraulics

The most profitable option for converting a tiller into a homemade four-wheeled tractor is a single-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine – this is usually installed on Chinese motor-cultivators of the Scout, Bison and Russian Neva brands. A single-cylinder diesel engine is economical, therefore, the operation of a mini-tractor produced on its basis will not be invoiced. It is typically placed on the front of the frame, allowing the small tractor to maintain optimal balance when operating with additional tools. At the location of the motor, a mounting system is installed, which is better to make “floating” (sliding) in order to simplify the adjustment and tension of the belts.

The transfer of power from the motor to the rear wheels of a homemade tractor is organized using a belt drive. The PTO transfer case, like the gearbox, can be used from a decommissioned GAZ-53 vehicle. The homemade power unit is mounted in such a way that the PTO pulley is located in the same plane with the pulley located on the rear axle of the minitractor. At the same time, they outline the location for the clutch pedal. The belt drive is covered with a protective cover to avoid slipping during operation and to make its service life longer.

After completing the main work, a hydraulic lift is installed on a homemade mini-tractor with an engine from a tiller. The rework hydraulics kit should include an oil pump, oil reservoir, hydraulic cylinder and distributor. All components of the system are connected by flexible oil-resistant hoses. It is advisable to make the hydraulics with a floating mode – this will ensure the full operation of the tractor hitch. Then the tiller will work as it should..

Then, the driver’s seat is installed, as well as headlights and dimensions, if it is planned to move the mini tractor along the roads. They will ensure safety when operating vehicles at night and will avoid problems with demanding road patrol officers..

How to make a mini tractor from a tiller with your own hands

Every farmer knows that it is easier and more convenient to cultivate summer cottages and household plots with the help of a small tractor. And it doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough funds to buy a factory “iron horse” – you can make it yourself from an inexpensive tiller. Moreover, when there is an interest in technology, engineering skills, the necessary equipment and tools, it will not be difficult at all to do this. The main thing is to understand the technical aspects, prepare for the transformation and choose the right tiller itself. Then the refurbishment can begin. By the way, the tiller’s instructions may contain a drawing that will help you understand how best to make a homemade product.

Installation of the brake system and electrical equipment

To begin with, determine the place (using the layout diagram) where the brake pedal will be located in the alteration. On the designated plot, mount the pedal mount and the main brake cylinder. Then the cylinder is connected with hoses to the brake drums located on the front wheels of the converted tractor..

Immediately after that, the brake system is checked for leaks, and if it is broken, everything will have to be redone. To avoid ridiculous mistakes, it is better to use a visual drawing, which shows all the main components of the tractor. For control, the system must be pumped over and the remaining air is removed. This will make it workable and provide proper functionality. The system can also be supplemented with a parking brake..

The next stage of self-alteration of the tiller into a full-fledged mini-tractor is the connection of electrical equipment and the output of sensors to the dashboard. It is recommended to do this for the convenience and safety of vehicle operation. A temperature meter, a liquid cooling indicator, an ignition key, an oil pressure sensor and a fuel level in the gas tank are displayed on the panel. Optionally, a homemade tractor is supplied with a sound signal, stop lamps and direction indicators.

Additionally, agricultural machinery can be equipped with cladding elements and a canopy. This will give the mini tractor an attractive look and make the operator’s work more comfortable. After the completion of the modernization process of the tiller, the home-made mini tractor should be run-in so that the parts are “tucked in” and the lubricity of the mating surfaces improves..

Advantages of homemade tractors from tillers

The advantages of owning such a unit are obvious. Unlike a tiller, it will allow:

  • Expand functionality;
  • Facilitate the operator’s work;
  • Realize traction potential.

Using skills, you can make a multifunctional and efficient mini tractor from a conventional motorized cultivator with limited capabilities. Maneuverable, compact – it is able to work even in densely planted areas, between bushes and trees, as well as in a limited local area, without spoiling the paving slabs and asphalt pavement. Look at the form where there is a video about the work of homemade equipment.

To make a mini-tractor from a tiller means to acquire agricultural machinery with the broadest functionality. Together with it, you can use a variety of attachments: cultivator, potato planter, cutter, harrow, rotary mower, plow, hillers, etc. And if you equip a stacker with a hydraulic drive, then you can operate a homemade tractor as a stacker or a crane. Thanks to its practical design, working on such a homemade product is simple, comfortable and safe. And the remaining motoblock parts can be used to create other homemade products. A homemade mini tractor is better than the most expensive heavy motor cultivator and cheaper than a heavy tractor.
