Metal wheels for your own hands

Varieties of ground wheels for power tillers

The modern market is oversaturated as the power tillers themselves, and attachments for them. These hitch hooks are not an exception.

Power tillers are classified according to these characteristics:

  • application:
  • Universal. suitable for any power tillers modification and differ in their dimensional characteristics;
  • special. their dimensions (diameter and width) are adapted to a particular cultivator model;
  • origin:
  • factory;
  • homemade.

In addition, structurally, grotozatsebs are divided into those that:

  • for installation require removal of the main wheel. Such ground wheels are attached to the axle of the cultivator with special clamps. They look like a full-fledged iron wheels for a power tiller;
  • fit on the outside of the guide bar and do not need to be attached to the axle of the power tiller.

Wheel extensions for power tillers

Axle extensions for power tillers allow you to extend the wheelbase. This part provides for better stability of the machine regardless of track width.

Extensions may be needed for such tasks:

  • heavy-duty work and work on difficult soils;
  • use of the machine on uneven ground;
  • Preventing the tiller from sinking and towing the machine with complex attachments;
  • provides better cross-country capability and maneuverability of the equipment;
  • Installation of iron and pneumatic wheels, trailing arms.

This part is selected for a specific single-axle tractor. Among the important characteristics of extensions:

  • the length of the parts in the range of 200-375 mm;
  • inside diameter of the planting hole. it is important that it coincides with the characteristics of the machine;
  • external diameter of the mounting hole. is responsible for the reliability of the attachment.

How to make twin wheels by yourself?

A simple and even a little bit crude, but effective method has attracted special interest of the farmers:

  • Then it is advisable to cut small treads on them;
  • The next step is that people buy a strip of steel 5x50mm, weld squares with a side of 250mm and insert them into the rim;

It is not difficult to get such useful devices, the main thing is to determine what options are needed and pick up all the necessary “ingredients”.

Pairing wheels

Each wheel consists of two elements of the same size and shape. Such design considerably increases tillage tractor’s passability on rough terrain and speed on a level road.

Strolling unit, equipped with twin wheels, almost eliminated, because of which such elements are often installed for the movement of a motor-block on snow-covered terrain.

Why do you install wheels on a single axle tractor?

Factory models, as a rule, are equipped with a standard wheelset. Since it carries the brunt of the load during operation, the undercarriage often fails.

In addition, the factory set does not always correspond to the tasks assigned to the cultivator, topography, soil type. Factory sets are sometimes difficult to buy, especially in rural areas. That is why technique owners have to independently install alternative replacements, improving and modifying them for their needs.

It all depends on the owner’s choice. the wheels on the motor blocks can be made independently, or you can buy or order factory-made.

Wheel extensions for power tillers

Axle extensions for power tillers allow you to extend the wheelbase. This makes the machine more stable regardless of the track width.

You may need axle extensions to accomplish such tasks:

  • Performing heavy types of work and work on difficult soils;
  • the use of equipment on uneven terrain;
  • Preventing the motor-block toppling and towing when using complex attachments;
  • The tines are pushed into the ground to a pre-determined depth by a hydraulic cylinder in a reciprocating motion;
  • installation of iron and pneumatic wheels, trailing arms.

This part is selected for a particular single-axle tractor. Among the important characteristics of extensions:

  • the length of parts in the range of 200-375 mm;
  • inside diameter of the planting hole. it is important that it coincides with the characteristics of the machine;
  • Outer diameter of the planting hole. responsible for the reliability of attachment of the attachment.

making wheels with cleats

Elements equipped with trailing arms are best mounted on a single-axle tractor with at least 6 liters of power. с. A motor with such an indicator will not succumb to excessive loads, and overheat.

To work on these wheels you will need to prepare certain materials:

How to made wide custom wheels with your own hands

With everything you need on hand you can start working. Weld the steel plates to the wheels first. The edges of the latter must be securely fixed to the rim. Cut the angle into pieces in the shape of teeth and weld them to the rim. The distance between the plates and the tines should be at least 15 cm. Finally it is necessary to install the rubber tires on the rims and secure the wheels to the axle of the power tiller.

The skids equipped with cleats not only allow the tiller to move, but also help keep the weeds off the ground. Do not forget to clear vegetation from time to time, otherwise the single-axle tractor will slip in the ground.

Types of weights

Depending on the method of installation and design, such devices are conventionally divided into several types.

Weights for the wheels of the power tiller

Most often this kind of load is used, it is attached to the brackets on the outer or inner side of the wheels.

Body frame weights

They are used if you need to further increase the weight of the motoblock for tillage, they are in the form of small weights or bars. Special structures are fixed on the frame of the equipment with bolts and in such a way that they do not come into contact with the moving elements of the equipment.

Weights for tiller wheels

these weights are needed if traction reinforcement is to be increased. Thanks to this technique will not slip at high load.

Choosing weighting agents on the wheels of a power tiller or on its body, you should pay attention to the following characteristics:

  • The width of the additional equipment;
  • diameter of the structures (for attaching to the wheels);
  • weight of weights (starts from 20 kg and can increase the pulling power of the power tiller by 20% on average).

Drawing with instructions for making wheels on a single-axle tractor

Without a clear plan and vision of the final result and a drawing to make wheels for the cultivator with their own hands will be difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the drawing and then proceed to work.

The drawing of homemade wheels for the cultivator You can make twin wheels, between which will be inserted the weighting agent.

As the basis of a homemade wheel, you can take a wheel from “Zhiguli” or “Moskvich”. You will need four of them in total. The rubber tires are removed from them. Several steel plates of iron up to 5 cm wide are welded to the rim, from which you can form a square. The rim of the second wheel is welded to it, and the rubber is put on the ready-made structures.

Homemade twin wheels on motor blocks can be made in any variety of variations: seating diameters, their weight, width, height of profile. all depends on the needs and capabilities of the owner of the unit.
