DIY tipper trailer for a tiller

Dump trailer for tiller

tipper, trailer, tiller

In order to make your trailer a tipper, when designing the frame, weld the usual door hinges. “droplets” to beams 1 and 2 (shown in the photo below). To avoid tipping the body during driving and loading, it can be secured by welding a latch (such as a door latch) to the edge of the frame. Such a trailer is ideal for such trailer models as Neva MB-1, Neva MB-2, MTZ, Oka and other models of well-known manufacturers.

Hitch and seat

Upon completion of the main work, after fastening all the main components of the structure, you can proceed to the assembly of the remaining parts of the trailer. The most important are the hitch and the seat.

The hitch can be made from 3 pieces of pipe and a trailing mechanism (in our case, this is a tee designed specifically for the tiller hitch unit). This hitch is bolted to the frame. The hitch device is shown in more detail in the diagram below. The seat can be welded on a regular one, for example, from an old car, or you can equip the front of the trailer with a seat-tool box. Its dimensions will depend on the overall trailer design. The main thing is not to use too thin boards and to securely fix the box.

How to make a trailer for a tiller yourself: step by step instructions

tiller is a very useful and multifunctional technique for a private household. With its help, you can perform various work on the land. But also with its help you can carry out the transportation of considerable goods. And for this you need a tiller cart. There are many ready-made trailer models on sale. But their cost and quality are not always satisfactory. How to make a high-quality trailer for a tiller with your own hands, while spending a minimum of funds and efforts, we will tell you in this article.

Axle installation

The wheel axle can also be manufactured by yourself. For this, a steel rod is taken at least 1.07 cm in length and 30 mm in diameter.

The length should be taken into account and adjusted based on the dimensions of the trailer body. Wheels can be selected from old gardening equipment, from a handcart, motorcycle, moped or car. it all depends on the dimensions of the future product. Diagrams of 2 options for fastening the wheel chassis are shown in the figures below.
A single-axle trailer has a significant drawback. a shifted center of gravity. Because of this, the body can overturn, the load in it, or this will completely lead to equipment breakdown. For a large wheelbarrow designed to carry large loads, a two-axle structure should be designed. Basic fixings and parts will remain the same as for the single axle bogie project.

Assembling the frame for the trailer to the tiller

The simplest option for making a frame is to connect a piece of pipe or metal profile to the wheel axle.

This option is suitable for a small trailer, to the frame of which a ready-made body will be attached. For a more reliable and powerful design, you need to weld the frame from round and rectangular pipes and corners.

How to make a trailer for a tiller with your own hands?

Theoretically, a cart for a tiller can be divided into such basic units. wheels, body, frame, hitch. Before starting work, you first need to think over the design to the smallest detail, calculate the dimensions and create drawings. Also pay attention to such points as the connection of solid assemblies and parts (welding, screwing, riveting), the connection of moving assemblies (bushings, bearings, hinges, axle), seat design (simple or adjustable), body functionality (dump truck or static), footrests (platform or footrests), etc.

After you have decided on the project of the future trailer and selected the necessary materials, you need to clean the blanks from rust and dirt, if necessary, cut them off and fit to the drawings, fasten them. Upon completion of the work, it is advisable to paint the trailer.

The step-by-step work on a homemade cart for a tiller is as follows.

Trailer body

The body is made of wooden planks or sheet metal. For additional strength, stiffeners should be provided on the sides and bottom. In wooden bodies, the corners are reinforced with metal corners. It is recommended to make the tailgate on hinges, for the possibility of opening (the tailgate will be especially useful for dumping units).

How to make brakes on a trailer to a tiller?

Tiller trailer brakes are required based on safety requirements. After all, it will not always be easy to stop a loaded trailer, especially if there is a slope on the way.

To equip a trailer with brakes yourself, you must first acquire a tool and find such parts from an old motorcycle:

  • drum from brakes;
  • brake pads;
  • spokes from the wheel;
  • welding;
  • pliers.

Brakes need to be done on each wheel so that the trailer does not skid when braking.

Before starting the installation, remove the cables from the brake drums and thread them. Slide the grooved drums onto the hubs and secure at the back. Close the resulting space between the ribs of the discs using the spokes. Place the drum on the axle and secure with bushings. To prevent the part from moving, weld a piece of angle to the axis.

After securing the drums, pull the cables to the control point. The place of control is done similarly to the parking brake system of a car (handbrake) from improvised means.

We also suggest that you familiarize yourself with the video, which shows the device of a homemade brake for a trailer to a tiller:

Making a homemade trailer for a tiller with your own hands

To make a homemade trailer for a tiller with your own hands, you should adhere to a certain sequence of actions. We invite you to get to know her.

For the manufacture of the frame, rolled metal is taken with a suitable shape and cross-sectional size. The works are performed in the following sequence:

Characteristics of standard trailers

a tiller made in production, as a rule, has standard characteristics and dimensions, therefore, it is also advisable to select a trailer for a tiller based on certain parameters:

  • For the lightest trailer models, the trailer should have an average length and width of 1 meter. As a rule, industrial versions have a size from 85 cm to 115 cm. The provided capacity of the tiller trolley in such a case should not exceed 300 kilograms. Price from 200;
  • In medium-sized tillers, the power of which is from 5 horsepower, the dimensions should not exceed (1 × 1.4-1.5 m), and the capacity should not exceed 500 kilograms. Such options cost from 250;
  • For heavy models, there are 1.2 mx 2-3 m biaxial trailer trailers with a maximum lifting capacity of 1 ton. The price for such models ranges from 500 and above.

The for a tiller cart can be substantial, which is why many agricultural owners try to make a trailer for a tiller in order to save money. The construction of such a trailer is not difficult, but everything exactly for this work must be carefully prepared, take into account possible nuances and delve into the technology of further manufacturing.

The nuances of manufacturing other types of trailers for agricultural machinery

Consider the main blocks that must be used to create functional equipment.

Advantages and disadvantages

A wheelbarrow for a tiller has its positive qualities:

  • expanding the tiller’s potential;
  • the ability to install stationary processing plants, sprayers, fertilizer distributors;
  • the possibility of positioning the tipper device to increase the unloading speed;
  • no need to spend a lot of money on purchasing;
  • the device is made for its own tiller.

A motor cultivator with a trailer has some minor disadvantages:

  • it takes time to get ready;
  • for light trailers, it is difficult to make hinged sideboards.
Such disadvantages are compensated by the presence of significant advantages in these devices.

How to make a two-axle trailer for a tiller

For the carriage of goods over 300 kg, a two-axle trailer should be made. The technology of creation is the same as that of the uniaxial one. the development of design documentation, the selection of materials and suitable parts, the manufacture of parts and frames. Since the vehicle is designed for high carrying capacity, the frame must be made more durable. It will require profile pipes with a size of at least 50 × 50 mm². Wheel axles are welded to the frame side members.

Frame for a two-axle trailer

An interesting variant is obtained when the tiller is placed behind the loading platform. This layout resembles an ATV. In the process of testing and refinement, the front part of this wonderful machine was equipped with a steering column with all the necessary mechanisms. The result is a self-run stroller. And at the back you can attach a cargo trolley to it.

What you need to know about design

A self-made trolley cart is usually calculated for a load weighing about 0.5 tons, while the weight of the driver himself is not taken into account. With this load capacity, the structure can easily accommodate up to 10 bags of potatoes.

When drawing up a drawing, you need to indicate the location of the following parts:

  • persistent design;
  • fasteners (bolts);
  • three support beams;
  • driver’s seat;
  • footboards;
  • body.
  • The front should include items such as a carrier, a console and a support for overhanging areas.

    The first stage is the preparation of the necessary parts and tools

    In general, this is the usual combination of body, frame, wheels and hitch. To mount a homemade trailer to the tiller, you need to purchase (or perhaps they are already on the farm) the following parts:

    • pipes with a diameter of 60×30 mm and 25×25 mm, usually they must be iron for the reliability of the future product;
    • two wheels, perhaps you have old unnecessary from “Moskvich” lying around, as well as springs;
    • duralumin sheets, their thickness should be about 2 mm;
    • steel sheets, their thickness should be about 0.8 mm;
    • channel;
    • fasteners.

    Of course, when assembling the tiller carriage, you cannot do without the necessary tools: an angle grinder for cutting parts, an electric jigsaw, a screwdriver and welding.

    Materials and tools

    To work, you need the following tools:

    • angle grinder for cutting parts;
    • welding machine;
    • welding electrodes;
    • jigsaw;
    • screwdriver;
    • regular construction square for measuring angles.

    In the manufacture of a trailed structure, the following materials and parts will be needed:

    • metal profile pipes of square or rectangular cross-section;
    • wheels and springs;
    • duralumin sheets 2 mm thick;
    • steel sheets;
    • channel;
    • metal corners;
    • metal rod;
    • fasteners.

    All parts, especially if these are remnants of old metal products, are carefully inspected for damage, cracks, cleaned of rust, cut off.

    Making a trolley for a tiller with your own hands

    Structurally, the bogie consists of such elements as a hitch, body, wheels, as well as a frame on which the on-board equipment is installed.

    The frame of a home-made cart for a tiller is made from shaped pipes (for this purpose, products of circular cross-sections are also suitable, which will ensure the highest possible functionality of the equipment). So that the frame structure does not require frequent repair and maintenance, it will be necessary to additionally strengthen it with corners using welding.

    To make the body and sides more durable will be the covering of these elements with thin sheet-type metal, in extreme cases. with corrugated board.

    Self-made trailer for tiller

    The design of the cargo adapter for the tiller cannot be called daunting. In the presence of electric welding, an angle grinder and a drill, almost every owner of a hand tractor can make a trailer to the tiller with his own hands.

    The main structural elements for the manufacture of which a drawing or a detailed diagram is required are the frame, carrier and body.

    tiller mounting bracket; 2. rotary console, 3. carrier; 4. footboard; 5. seat (board 20mm); 6. trailer frame; 7. side of the body from a board of 25 mm; 8. support beam of the frame (bar 50 × 50mm); 9. fixing bolt of the hinge M8; 10. rear hinge assembly; 11. wheel

    Examining the device of the trailer for the tiller shown in the figure, you will notice that the carrier through the pivot assembly and the console is connected to the trailer module of the tiller. The second end of the carrier is inserted into the center tube of the frame.

    The tube-in-tube design forms a kind of long hinge. It allows the wheels of the trailer to change their position independently of the wheels of the tiller while overcoming pits and bumps. This solution avoids deformation of the trailer structure.

    swivel unit; 2. “drawbar” (round pipe 60 mm); 3. footrest frame (corner 25 mm); 4. stiffeners

    The articulated hitch of the trailer with the trailer is carried out using a console. a steel axle. It stands in the swivel block of the carrier on bearings. A flange is welded to the top of the console, with which it is attached to the tiller hitch.

    To strengthen the joint of the drawbar with the body of the swivel unit, you need to use 4 stiffeners made of steel strip 4 mm thick.

    When making a homemade trailer for a tiller, its frame is welded using several types of rolled metal: corner, rectangular and round pipes. The supporting frame must be strong and rigid so that when moving with a full load, its structural elements do not deform.

    brace (corner 20 x20); 2. seat frame (corner 20 × 20); 3. seat racks (corner 40 × 40); 4.5. front struts (pipe 40 × 20); 6. body frame strapping (corner 40 × 40); 7, 8. wheel axle struts (corner 32 × 32); 9.10. rear struts (pipe 40×20); 11. reinforcing cross member (corner 40 × 40), 12. central pipe 58 × 4; 13. axis (rod 30 mm), 14. gusset (sheet 4 mm).

    To fix the carrier pipe, a hole is drilled through them in the central tube of the frame and a bolt with a locknut and a hairpin is inserted. In this case, a long “window” must be cut out in the central pipe.

    In it, the fixing bolt passing through the carrier pipe can move around the trailer axis without moving in the longitudinal direction. This is the final operation necessary for the reliable operation of the pipe-in-pipe hinge, which we described above.

    For the manufacture of a wheel axle, you need to take a rod of high-quality steel with a diameter of 30 mm. It is connected with the central tube of the frame, the strapping of the platform from the corner and struts by electric welding.

    A fixed body can be made of 25 mm boards or its sides can be made of steel sheet 1.5 mm thick by welding it onto vertical posts from a 40×40 mm corner. If there is a need to open the sides, then several loops must be welded to the frame, to which the side frame will be attached. Latches must be welded to the corners of the frame, which will fix the sides in the transport position.

    With a properly balanced tiller trailer, the load center of gravity is closer to the headboard and does not extend beyond the wheel pivot. This requirement must be taken into account when drawing up a drawing of a homemade design.

    Passenger car wheels can be used as trailer wheels by purchasing them assembled with hubs. Before installing the wheels on the axle, you need to carefully grind its seats for the inner diameter of the wheel hub bearings and provide a locknut with a locking cotter pin.

    Trolley trolley. trailed equipment for universal agricultural motor vehicles for transporting goods on personal and land plots. With the help of such a mechanism, garbage, animal feed, building materials, fertilizer, grain, inventory are transported.

    The trailer and tiller adapter are homemade varieties made by skilled mechanics. The adapter is a longitudinal beam with its own chassis, driver’s seat and footrest. This module makes it possible to work the soil in a sitting position, as well as attach 2 equipment at once. in front and behind.

    The trolley is a type of adapter with a difference in the design of the chassis.

    A purchased cart for a tiller is expensive. To save financial resources, craftsmen make it themselves, design construction drawings, select the necessary materials. The process of creating such a useful vehicle does not take much time and is not difficult. Even a beginner, at least a little versed in technology, can handle it.

    A brief overview will help you understand the question of how to make a tiller cart yourself with good performance.

    How to make a cart for a tiller with your own hands

    Having received one more wheel axle, the body and seat of the tiller turns into a universal assistant that can be successfully used all year round.

    a trailer with a trailer will successfully replace not only a mini-tractor, but also a truck. And if the trailer has a tipper device, then you do not have to swing a shovel, unloading sand or gravel, black soil or manure.

    The factory trailer for the tiller can have a lifting capacity from 300 kg to one ton and different body sizes. It all depends on the technical characteristics of the tiller, so trailer manufacturers adapt their products for light, medium and heavy hand tractors (tillers).

    Today, the choice of tillers is very wide, so there are many varieties of cargo adapters for them. The size range of bodies of such trailers is represented by the following options.

    For light tillers, trailers with a body width of 1 and a length of 0.85-1.15 meters are usually used. The carrying capacity of such adapters does not exceed 300 kg.

    For bogies designed to work with medium power tillers (4.8-8 hp), the body size is 1.0×1.5 m or 1.1×1.4 m with a carrying capacity of 300 to 500 kg. The cost of cargo adapters of this class depends on the configuration and the manufacturing company and can range from 19 to 40 thousand rubles.

    For heavy machines over 10 hp. use single-axle or two-axle trailed bogies with a body width of 1.2 and a length of 2 to 3 m. They are capable of transporting loads weighing from 500 kg to 1 ton. The price of such adapters ranges from 42 to 60 thousand rubles.

    The height of the sides of standard motoblock trailers is from 30 to 35 centimeters. For heavy-duty bogies, frame side fences with a height of 50-60 cm are used.

    Trailers with a lifting capacity of more than 350 kilograms are equipped with a mechanical brake. This is required by safety regulations. When driving down a steep incline, you will not be able to extinguish the inertia of a loaded trailer with one tiller brake. Therefore, when choosing a trailer for a heavy hand tractor, be sure to pay attention to the presence of this option.

    The standard tipper trailer for light and medium-sized trailers does not have a lifting hydraulic cylinder. The body is installed in it in such a way that the center of gravity of the load is on the pivot axis. This central balancing makes manual tipping much easier.

    To increase the convenience of loading and unloading, some models of trailers, in addition to the rear, also have two side opening removable sides.

    Trailer bodies are most often made of painted galvanized sheet, painted black steel sheet or impact resistant plastic. The first option is the highest quality and most durable, albeit the most expensive.

    Hitch

    The coupling device is manufactured or purchased depending on the mounting option on a particular trailer. It is important that the hitch fits properly to the tiller’s ear.

    One of the hitch options is a console, the upper part of which repeats the tiller bracket, to which all attachments are attached.

    Trolley making

    In order to understand how to make a cart to the tiller with your own hands, you need to perform the following algorithm of operations:

    • For the manufacture of a supporting welded rigid frame, take 5 pipe blanks, cut off the ends of an angle grinder.
    • Press the clamps to the chipboard sheet and weld the joints of 3 longitudinal blanks with 2 perpendicular ones so that they create a lattice frame.
    • Check the geometry of the structure with a regular construction square. The angles of the connected ribs must be 90 °.
    • Install spacers between the tacked workpieces in the corners of the bottom and in the center, tack with welding.
    • To the longitudinal pipes of the bottom, make tacks with a welding electrode 4 vertical racks in the corners.
    • Check the perpendicularity of the corners, check the dimensions of the sides of the structure with the dimensions in the drawing of the cart for the tiller.
    • Finally weld all the workpieces to each other, grind the welded seams, clean them of sagging and formations.
    • The body can be made of plywood or wooden planks, while the corner joints are fixed with steel corners.
    • Boards are mounted on the frame and bolted on.
    • durable sides of the master are made of steel sheets. The sides can be hinged and fixed. Hinged sides of the body are considered more rational, because unloading cargo of large volumes is easier. The sides are also made of square or rectangular metal pipes. They are performed, like the frame, they are grabbed, the geometry is checked for strength and to avoid braces and deviations, they are finally welded, rigidly attached to the frame. The tailgate is attached with ordinary door hinges and equipped with latches.
    • Take a metal rod with a diameter of 30 mm and a length of about 1050 mm to make an axle for wheels, connect it with a longitudinal hinge and corner supports. The length should be chosen so that the axle does not go beyond the limits of the wheels. Sharpen it to the required diameters of the bearings in the hubs.
    • As a running gear, you can take a wheelbase from a scooter, stroller, wheelbarrow or other agricultural machinery. Heavy wheels from a car trailer with hubs are not recommended to be installed.
    • For the manufacture of the drawbar, 2 profile pipes with a diameter of 25×50 mm and a length of about 1.85 m are taken, they are welded to the frame beam so that a triangular structure is obtained. For reinforcement in the corners, metal kerchiefs with a thickness of 4 mm are attached by welding, a plate with a thickness of 8 mm is attached in front of the trolley.
    • Tipper technology provides for the installation of door hinges attached to the bottom of the beam and to the bottom struts.
    • Sheathe the frame of the structure made with wooden boards, plastic or metal.
    • The driver’s seat on a tiller with a trolley is installed ready-made or in the form of homemade boxes from a piece of chipboard and foam rubber sheathed with dermantin. Such boxes are necessary to hide inventory and materials.
    • The machine’s parking brake can be used as a brake. Fix the brake pedal made of 6 mm thick plate on the footrest under the seat, weld 2 corners. Install the pedal in the front part, in the back. a plate with 2 holes for fastening brake cables, the ends of which are connected to a T-shaped plate with a rod.

    In this way, you can make a trolley for a tiller with your own hands.

    High-quality soil cultivation is not an easy task, it will require not only incredible work, but also the presence of certain skills. recently, the work was completely manual, today it is possible to automate a number of processes in order to achieve even more impressive work efficiency. Below it is proposed to consider how you can make a high-quality and reliable cart for a tiller with your own hands, equip it with everything you need.

    Axle and wheels

    The approximate size of the bogie wheel axle is one meter and looks like a bar. If you make the length less, the wheels will not fit within the established boundaries of the body. As standard support elements, conventional angle brackets work well. Through the use of welding, the master can qualitatively connect the body elements of the hinge, as well as the spar with the corresponding rod.

    A set of “earrings” and a bracket axis adjusted to the required size are put on the side members. Virtually any wheel used in the automotive industry will be practical for a DIY cart. For example, tires from a VAZ car, but it is better to look for special wheels for a trolley assembly.

    If you choose large wheels, this will contribute to the formation of better cross-country ability and a fundamental increase in the functional properties of the device.

    Frame cladding options

    For the cladding of the structure, the craftsmen choose an inexpensive material or the one that is available. The price of the product becomes much less.

    • Wooden planks that are often left behind after construction. The main pluses are low-cost, the minuses are moisture-resistant, as a result, the low life span of a wheelbarrow for a tiller. In addition, additional funds are needed to process them.
    • Plastic. Pros. resistant to moisture, unlike wood, cons. not strong, if damaged, it will break.
    • Metal sheets. Pros. strong material, therefore durable, cons. one of the most expensive options.

    But if the cart to the tiller will be used constantly, then it is more profitable to make it metal and not spend extra money on repairs. You can fix the sheets to the frame with a welding machine.

    We make the chassis

    To transport cargo, the trailer needs wheel assemblies that can be removed from an unnecessary vehicle. To fasten the wheel assemblies, an additional pipe must be welded. The trailer hub is attached by pressing. The rear part is put on the axle, which is ground before that. There should be no misalignment, so it must be constantly monitored. The mounted wheels must be secured with nuts and caps put on.

    Tiller trailer hitch

    The hitch for a trailer trailer is a rather important element of the entire structure. The best option is a knot where a pipe is connected to another pipe. On one side of the curved pipe, you need to weld another small part of the pipe. This must be done in an upright position. The same operation is performed on the other end of the main pipe. Finally, a king pin is mounted to connect to the trailer. When cornering or on uneven roads, this design will provide a solid grip.

    The first stage is the preparation of the necessary parts and tools

    In general, this is the usual combination of body, frame, wheels and hitch. To mount a homemade trailer to the tiller, you need to purchase (or perhaps they are already on the farm) the following parts:

    • pipes with a diameter of 60×30 mm and 25×25 mm, usually they must be iron for the reliability of the future product;
    • two wheels, perhaps you have old unnecessary from “Moskvich” lying around, as well as springs;
    • duralumin sheets, their thickness should be about 2 mm;
    • steel sheets, their thickness should be about 0.8 mm;
    • channel;
    • fasteners.

    Of course, when assembling the tiller carriage, you cannot do without the necessary tools: an angle grinder for cutting parts, an electric jigsaw, a screwdriver and welding.

    How to avoid mistakes when making a trolley for a tiller?

    If a motoblock trailer is made for the first time, then mistakes are encountered even by the best craftsman. The main ones are:

    • incorrect seat. It should be convenient, because you often have to work on the farm. The best lava-shaped seats;
    • for the sake of economy, do not install brakes. In no case do not skimp on your own safety. Better homemade hand brakes than nothing;
    • poor quality and cheap plating. And again for the budget option, but remember. the miser pays twice.

    Carts variations

    Variations of bogies for this type of equipment directly depend on the ability to transport a certain cargo.

    • Simple single axle trolley. Maximum lifting weight up to 70 kg. Its design will be simple and inexpensive.
    • Tiller cart with carrying capacity up to 110-120 kg. The most versatile option for household use.
    • Trailer for transporting heavy objects weighing more than 120 kg. The design becomes more complex, the cost of material for the frame and cladding increases. This option is more expensive, but the capabilities of the trolley increase significantly.

    Frame for motoblock cart

    To make a do-it-yourself trailer for a tiller reliable and durable, you need a very strong frame. In the production of a lattice for the frame, a 60×30 mm pipe is suitable, in the section there should be a square (rectangle) and a corner for connecting 25×25 mm. In order to make a lattice-frame, all parts need to be connected with 5 additional crossbars.

    At the corners of the lattice-frame, 4 vertical posts are attached to the longitudinal pipes using a welding machine. If the wheelbarrow for the tiller will be with a tailgate, then the frames must be produced separately and only then installed.

    This option is suitable for those who do not want to waste their time. For work, you will need to prepare the following materials:

    DIY lawn mower trailer / garden cart

    • steel pipes, dimensions 25 × 25 mm;
    • pipes measuring 60 × 30 mm;
    • duralumin sheet, 2 mm thick;
    • channel;
    • wheels with springs from a Moskvich or VAZ car;
    • steel sheet, no more than 0.8 mm thick;
    • set of fasteners;
    • Angle Grinder;
    • electric jigsaw;
    • screwdriver;
    • welding machine.

    The simple tiller cart consists of a sturdy frame. The latter in its form is a one-piece structure installed and securely fixed on the frame grid. The manufacture of this and other trailer elements is as follows:

    • To equip the frame, make 2 traverses, using 2 corners for this purpose, measuring 25 × 25 mm. they will play the role of crossbars in the front and rear of the structure;
    • Next, make the side members using 60x30mm pipes;
    • Connect all the parts made by means of five absolutely identical cross-pieces. as a result, you should have a structure in the form of a lattice. In this case, the platform of the lattice used should be placed with small outlets in relation to the side members placed in the traverse and the installed cross member. In the future, longitudinal steel pipes will be welded to the outlets;
    • Next, weld 4 completely identical posts to the longitudinal pipes. Weld the straps to the upper point of the latter, to create which use a corner, measuring 25 × 25 mm;
    • In order for a homemade trailer to have folding sides, its frames must be made separately;
    • Cover the grille of the platform used with a solid sheet of duralumin and fasten it with bolts. To sew up the sides, take steel sheets of lesser thickness and weld them to the uprights and straps;
    • To make a beam, insert 2 channels of the same length into each other. One of the ends of the taken channel must be equipped with wheel axles;
    • Attach the finished beam to the side members using serviceable springs. For this purpose, put the ends of the latter on the axle of the earring and the previously installed bracket;
    • For the manufacture of the drawbar, use rectangular pipes, dimensions 60 × 30 mm. Weld the springs in their central part to the beam;
    • If you need a biaxial design, then the front ends of the pipes used will need to be docked and welded to the tiller’s drawbar. Weld the pipes at their rear to the front sections of the side members. In this case, be sure to keep in mind that their rear ends should overlap by 20 cm.

    Do not forget that the tiller cart must be equipped with turn signals, side lights and brake lights. A wheelbarrow made in this way will be able to transport small luggage over almost any distance.

    How to make a trailer for a tiller with your own hands. a difficult manufacturing option

    The first thing to do before making a universal multifunctional cart is to carefully study the drawings. They must indicate the exact dimensions of each of the elements and the entire trailer as a whole.
    After you study the schemes and decide on the optimal dimensions of the structure, you need to purchase a sufficient amount of rolled metal. Also, calculate in advance the number of channels required for the operation that will be needed to manufacture the bogie hitch. Accurate material counting will save you from buying unnecessary items. You will also need their other materials:

    • corners made of steel, measuring 5 × 2.5 cm;
    • corners measuring 4 × 4 cm;
    • pieces of round and rectangular pipes;
    • boards, at least 2 cm thick;
    • timber, dimensions 5 × 5 cm.

    To work on the trailer, you will definitely need a welding machine, since the trolley will not last long on screws and screws alone.

    The tipper trailer consists of 4 main elements: body, frame, carrier and wheels. Each of the components of the structure must be connected to other elements by welding. The procedure for manufacturing a structure is as follows:

    • The trolley body consists of 2 cm thick boards. Metal corners should be installed on their edges;
    • Since the bogie being manufactured is a single-axis device, you will need to consider the distribution of the load on it. It is best to have the center of gravity closer to the front, near the wheel axle. The body will also need to be equipped with loops that will help to securely secure the transported cargo;
    • The next step is to make a chassis for the trailer. It is best to use ready-made wheels equipped with hubs. In order for the diameter of the axle rod used to fully match the dimensions of the bearings, its ends will need to be carefully sharpened;
    • To equip the wheel axle, you will need to use a steel rod, the diameter of which should be 3 cm. The length of the rod is of great importance. It should be such that, when assembled, the wheels you are using do not protrude beyond the body rims of the bogie. The rod is fastened by welding. The part must be welded through angle-type supports and gussets to the body of the hinge used and the side members;
    • To connect the manufactured trailer directly to the tiller, you will need to make a console. This element must be attached to the hinge bracket, so the upper part of the part must exactly follow the shape of the hiller’s contours;
    • Insert the drawbar of the trailer being manufactured into the body of the longitudinal part of the hinge. Connect both elements by means of a thrust ring. Thanks to this solution, it will be much easier for you to control the tiller, since the wheels of the bogie will work completely independently of the standard wheels of the agricultural unit. The video will tell you more about the manufacture of elements and the assembly of the trailer.

    After completing all of the above steps, the DIY trailer is almost ready for use. All you have to do is equip the dump truck with a driver’s seat and attach the footrest. The latter must be mounted on the drawbar using a special frame. The control of this kind of unit is carried out using levers.

    Tiller trailer: how to do it yourself

    a tiller for a modern farmer is an irreplaceable assistant, a reliable companion that will help you quickly cope with the most false economic tasks. However, even such a universal unit is not able to independently cope with the transportation of garden tools and crops. The tiller trolley will help him in this. a strong and spacious design, which is easy enough to make on your own.

    How to make brakes on a trailer to a tiller?

    In most cases, trailer trailers are equipped with car parking brakes. They will help not only to smoothly stop the cart, but also to leave it in the terrain with a slope. In fact, the parking brake on a manufactured trailer performs the same functions as on a car.

    When operating the trailer with a trailer, the parking brake used is activated by means of a pedal or a locking lever. The parking brake system consists of a reliable brake mechanism and a mechanical drive. By pressing the pedal or raising the lever, the farmer transfers the force to the brake mechanism by means of the drive. The brake system drive device, in turn, consists of three cables. The front cable connects to the lever or pedal, and the other two to the trailer wheels.

    Among the advantages of parking brakes for a trailer, the presence of an adjusting nut should be highlighted. It makes it possible to change the length of the drive. This feature will be useful if you have removed the parking brake from an old car in order to install it on the trailer of an existing tiller.

    In order to start moving, you need to move the brake lever to its original position. For this purpose, a return spring is provided in the design of the system, which is connected to the brake mechanism or the front cable. A trailer with brakes made according to the algorithm described above is suitable for operation with almost all brands of tillers known today. You can equip agricultural machines Neva MB-1 and MB-2, MTZ, Oka and units produced by other well-known brands with a home-made cart. All of them are equipped with almost the same coupling mechanisms, so the procedure for mounting a trailer on each of these trailers will be identical.
