Conducting agricultural work on the country site will become the most efficient in the presence of special devices. One of them is a cultivator. About how to make it with your own hands and will be discussed in this article.

Classification of technology

Facilitating agricultural work with the help of a cultivator is carried out by the correct location of the human body. Moreover, it will not be necessary to prepare for the start of use of the technique. The cultivator takes over the handle and operates.

• disk;
• rotary;
• milling;
• lAP.

The design of the cultivator for the cottage is absolutely identical, regardless of the type of device. Each of them includes a mechanical part that leads the element for the soil looser. The classification of technology depends on the following technical characteristics:

• size;
• masses;
• power;
• functional features;
• alleged amount of work.

According to these criteria, cultivators are:

• lungs;
• medium;
• heavy.

Easy technique is the most acceptable option for working on a small area, where soft soil prevails. It can be used on flowerbeds, beds and greenhouses. Typically, the depth of the soil processing is up to 20 cm, and the width is 20-30 cm. Middle in size by the aggregates is recommended to use on clay soils. Technical parameters of such cultivators:

• treatment depth - up to 25 cm;
• swimming width - 30-55 cm.

Heavy devices are carried out with all types of soil at a depth of 30 cm and wide up to 1 m. Not a latter role in determining the size of the homemade cultivator plays a list of grown crops. For example, in the presence of a small garden, garden and flower bed, which have a zone location, it is better to use a slight unit. By the method of functioning, cultivators are divided into:

• manual;
• electric;
• petrol.

Manual devices conventionally combine the functions of three tools: shovels, chips and robble. Usually its main component is an iron handle with comfortable finger inserts. The simplest in service are devices operating on electrical energy. In most cases, they are lungs by weight of the model with which any person can cope with. Electrical cultivators do not require significant care. Gasoline aggregates have both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, cultivators do not depend on electricity. But on the other hand, it is necessary to engage in the replacement of oil and fuel.

How to make a manual cultivator

We will look at several models of manual fixtures that can be made with your own hands. In particular, it is:

• tornado cultivator;
• a device based on a cycling frame;
• rotary disk unit;
• toothed cultivator.

"Tornado"

The most simplest design is the cultivator "Tornado". This device resembles a corkscrew, which is equipped with a vertical stand and horizontal handle. The most suitable tool for making the cultivator is the usual forks. The nozzle from plastics is taken. It is used for different inventory (shovels, forks, roasters) and has a shape of a handle. The nozzle should be changed slightly, since the knob of the cultivator "Tornado" should be similar to the horizontal tube. For this purpose, we need a small piece of plastic pipe. It will be enough 0.5 m. The pipe diameter should slightly exceed the thickness of the plastic nozzle. The pipe is cut along in such a way that it turns out and hang out on the handle. Reliable fixation of the tube (during the work of the cultivator, it should not jump off) is carried out with the help of a tape. As a result of the operation of the operation, we should have a handle, the extreme parts of which are on both sides of the cutter by 20-25 cm. The final stage when creating a hand-made cultivator is to give the shape of the shape of the corkscrew. With the help of the hammer of the teeth bend in any direction. Create a "tornado" can be used with a ribbon made of spring steel, and a wooden handle. Tape should have:

• length up to 50 cm;
• 2 cm width;
• 1.5 mm thick.

Steel tape is bent until it becomes reminiscent of the loop. After draining the edges with the edges with both parts, the handle is attached to it. The diameter of the tape is 20 cm.

Cultivator and bike

It would seem that these two incompatible things could bind these two incompatible things? It turns out that for the production of a cultivator at home, you can use the old bicycle frame and the wheel. The agricultural device for soil processing is carried out in the following sequence.

1. First, the cultivator head is fixed to the frame. The head is either the finished element of the old unit, or a new one made of sharp steel rods. As a basis, you can take a small plow. To conveniently manage the cultivator, it is better to use aluminum or steel pipes as a material for the handle.
2. The creation of the crossbar is carried out from a piece of pipe, which has a diameter of 2-2.5 cm.
3. Fixing all the parts made with the bolts. Created design should not be loosening.
4. The wheel must be of medium size. His attachment to the frame is done by locknuts. The main purpose of the cultivator - is weeding plot, located between the beds.

Rotary disk unit

For harrowing, leveling the garden and break up large chunks of land should build a rotary cultivator discs. Now we'll talk more about the basic requirements of creating instructions cultivator. The working elements of the unit are wheels having a convex spherical shape. It is the process of their manufacture is the most difficult. It will be necessary to make spherical metal plate 4 mm thick. For this purpose, a hammer, which occurs via the creation of the cup in the central part of the plates. Welding is carried out to drive the sleeves, which are placed on the axis. The last part of the fixing pin axis in brackets. The greater the size of the bracket is a ledge. Through it will pass pipe with handle and bar. A small bracket is equipped with a rod. Its diameter is 24 mm, length - 25 cm. The shaft rod to be screwed to a thickness of about 14-16 mm. A small portion of the rod should protrude over the crossbar. Fixing angle convex disc cultivator made by adjusting the wing-nuts, located on the crossbar. As they rotate in a clockwise direction takes place:

• large deflection bracket;
• lifting rod;
• changing the angle of arrangement of the elements.

toothed cultivator

Another manual device for soil treatment is a gear unit. He, too, can be done independently, without putting much effort. At the heart of the functioning of the self-made devices are 5 discs of steel. They are shaped like a pancake and rotates on an axis that is:

• 32 cm length;
• diameter 1.5-1.6 cm.

Three steel disc on each side are equipped with sharp curved teeth. With their help, it made the earth loosening. At both ends of the axis of the trunnion bearings are made. They are mounted brackets, which are connected with a wooden handle. The operating principle of the toothed cultivator is as follows. Located on the disks teeth:

• cut into the soil;
• invert its upper layer;
• cut all the roots of weeds;
• loosened ground, supplying it with air.

Independent production of electric cultivator

As a drive for such an aggregate, you can use:

• electrical meat grinder;
• or the engine from the old washing machine.

Make an electric cultivator based on the meat grinder is a fairly simple occupation. For this, its gearbox can be connected to two corners. To the corners should be welded two pipes. Their ends are bend. So it turns out the handle. For the maximum strength of the design between the pipes, another piece of the pipe is welded. The axes on which the wheels will be placed are welded to the corners. Wheels must be medium in size. Small will fall into the ground, and the big is not too comfortable to move. The unit of the aggregate shaft is carried out of ordinary scrap. To create a cast iron sleeve, just remove the meat grinder nozzle. In the sleeve is a blank and welded screw-primer. For convenient use of the cultivator, the engine switch is placed on the handle. There are two operating phases of electric device:

• fast;
• slow.

The first option involves the moay of the soil with obtaining largecomers (coarse plowing). With slow motion, the Komiev cultivator is practically no.

Creation of gasoline aggregate

For the manufacture of such a self-made cultivator, a chainsaw is applied. The main stages of this process are:

• creating a frame from the corners;
• fixation of the engine to the top of the frame;
• installing the fuel tank on the brackets;
• it is located below the engine;
• installation of the intermediate shaft supports on vertical racks in the front;
• compound of supports with longitudinal corners;
• fastening bearings.

As a result, the design should be the design that will have a center of gravity over the supporting elements of the wheel. You can make the maximum reliability when working the cultivator using an additional metal cargo, which is placed in front of the frame. For the manufacture of hard handles of the aggregate control, it is necessary to use pipes with a diameter of 3 cm, of which the crossbar is created. Wheels are made of rubberized rink. Two "stars" will still need:

• lead element;
• on the intermediate shaft.

Selection of transmission mechanisms that contribute to the most efficient operation of intermediate and undercarriage shafts, is carried out depending on the characteristics of the cultivator operation. Video to create a cultivator with your own hands:
