Rating of the best lugs for a walk-behind tractor for 2020

One of the main human assistants in running a personal subsidiary farm is a walk-behind tractor. Its main purpose is plowing the land. This is quite expensive equipment and, in order not to spend money on such a highly specific technique, it is enough to purchase an additional lug, which will expand the range of application of the walk-behind tractor.

The industry manufactures a wide variety of lug models. Some of them are universal, suitable for many walk-behind tractors, while others are narrowly focused, suitable for a particular brand.

Functions of lugs

Lugs are additional equipment that expands the scope of motoblocks on the farm. Their use is necessary for plowing the land, loosening, hilling and harrowing. Thus, the main functions of the equipment are:

• Strengthening the adhesion of the walk-behind tractor to the soil. It is widely used on arable land and sandy soil.
• Increase in the total weight of the unit, which makes it possible to use other additional equipment. Motoblocks come in both small and large weights, but it may not be enough to move, for example, a plow. In this case, the extra weight won't hurt.
• The structure of the lug is such that when driving it produces additional loosening of the soil. Can be used to remove weeds.

Types of lugs

All wheel lugs are divided into two types, structurally different from each other.

• The first type is one or more rims welded together, equipped with corner plates or spikes. The entire structure is metal and is attached to the unit instead of the native wheels using a system of special fasteners. The main advantage of this type is high functionality, and the disadvantage is the need to replace wheels, which can turn into a long process;
• The second type is metal attachments for mounting over the wheels of equipment. Installation of such equipment is simple, but it does not solve problems with light walk-behind tractors and requires additional weighting materials. They are rarely used.

Plates on wheels can have different shapes for a reason. For good adhesion to previously cultivated soil, it is customary to use a design with wedge-shaped treads. They plunge deeply into arable land, while moving, raking the earth from under them. Spikes are deprived of this capability and will impede mobile movement. But they are irreplaceable on virgin soil.

Types of lugs

Additional equipment, which are iron wheels attached to the walk-behind tractor in place of relatives, rubber wheels, are made according to the same principle, but differ slightly in appearance.

• The two-runners are the smallest.They are mounted on the gearbox of cultivators or small motoblocks used for simple agricultural work.
• Three-skid - for the heaviest equipment. The width of such a wheel is up to 20 cm. The earth easily penetrates between the runners, which ensures good traction.
• Solid - a wheel no more than 13 cm wide. They are used for hilling beds, when the structure must fit into the aisles and not damage the plants on the ridge.
• For motoblocks heavier than 120 kg, manufacturers provide special tractor tires.

The wheel height can be different, depending on the work performed:

• For the harrow, digging and plowing, wheels with a diameter of 40-50 cm are used;
• For double-row hilling, the largest - from 60 cm;
• For single row hilling 30-43 cm.

Tips for choosing equipment

In order not to regret the purchase, you need to carefully consider the choice of the lug. What you should pay attention to when choosing:

• The structure must be made of heavy metal. Light alloys will not work, since in this case the main function of weighting is lost.
• Attachments must absolutely not touch the walk-behind tractor. It is advisable to purchase narrowly targeted models.
• The bends of the studs should be arrow-shaped and directed in the direction of travel, sink well into the ground for greater traction.
• An important indicator is the dimensions - the diameter and width of the rim. Each model of a walk-behind tractor or cultivator has its own preferences in this matter. The general criteria will be: a wheel diameter of 70 cm for heavy models and about 32 cm for light ones.
• It is desirable to have the possibility of using additional weighting materials for the purchased attachments.
