Rating of the best lugs for a walk-behind tractor for 2022

One of the main assistants of a person in the conduct of personal subsidiary plots 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 highly specific equipment, it is enough to purchase an additional lug, which will expand the range of applications of the walk-behind tractor.

The industry produces a wide range of lugs. Some of them are universal, suitable for many walk-behind tractors, while others are narrowly focused, suitable for a particular brand.

Grouser Functions

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

• Strengthening the adhesion force of the walk-behind tractor with the soil. Widely used on arable land and sandy soil.
• An increase in the total weight of the unit, which makes it possible to use other additional equipment. Motoblocks come in both small and large mass, but it may not be enough to move, for example, a plow. In this case, the extra weight will not hurt.
• The structure of the lugs is such that when moving, 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 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 lengthy process;
• The second type is metal nozzles for mounting over the wheels of equipment. The installation of such equipment is simple, but it does not solve problems with light walk-behind tractors and requires additional weights. Rarely used.

The plates on the wheels can have different shapes for a reason.For good grip on previously cultivated soil, it is customary to use a design with wedge-shaped treads. They are deeply immersed in arable land, while moving, raking the ground from under them. Spikes lack this capability and will impede mobile movement. But they are indispensable in the virgin lands.

Types of grouser

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

• Double-sided - the smallest. They are mounted on the gearbox of cultivators or small walk-behind tractors used for simple agricultural work.
• Three-track - 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 grip with the ground.
• Solid - a wheel no more than 13 cm wide. They are used for hilling beds when the structure must fit in the aisles and not damage the plants on the ridge.
• For walk-behind tractors heavier than 120 kg, manufacturers provide special tractor tires.

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

• For harrowing, 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 must carefully consider the choice of lugs. What you should pay attention to when choosing:

• The structure must be made of heavy metal. Light alloys are not suitable, since in this case the main function of weighting is lost.
• Attachments categorically should not touch the walk-behind tractor.It is advisable to purchase narrowly focused models.
• The bends of the spikes should be arrow-shaped and directed in the direction of movement, sink well into the ground for greater traction with the soil.
• An important indicator is the dimensions - the diameter and width of the rim. Each model of 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 weights for the purchased attachments.
