Coupling for motoblock

Motoblock - a very useful device in agricultural practice. It is a self-propelled two-wheeled unit, powered by an internal combustion engine. Motoblock can be used as a small, so-called pedestrian tractor. He is able to perform many tasks: to plow a plot, to hill the ridges, to mow the grass, even to remove the snow! For different types of work, a different attachment is attached to the motor block. This can be a hiller, a seeder, a haymaker, a tiller, a plow, a harrow, a flat cutter , a semi-trailer, etc.

For a reliable connection of the trailed equipment to the motor block, a special coupling is used. This detail is the topic of our today's article.

Types of couplings for motoblock

Coupling for motoblock - one of the most important nodes of this device. Couplings are of different types:

1. Single or double hitch for motoblock serves respectively for the installation of one or two guns.
2. The strengthened coupling is intended for a heavy motoblock. It has a large thickness of metal and, as a rule, length. This coupling will allow the implements (eg a plow or harrow) to dive deeper into the ground.
3. A coupler for connecting a plow or a hiller to a motor block may or may not have the ability to adjust the angle of rotation and the angle of attack. This property will be useful in order to optimally place the assembly unit relative to the motoblock frame, which determines the convenience of working with the motor block.
4. Buying a coupler, pay attention to the compatibility of the motoblock brand with a specific type of attachments. There are also universal couplings for the motoblock, which are suitable for several models of a similar design.

By the way, it's easy to make a hitch for a motoblock with your own hands. The most common option is the U-shaped hitch assembly for the motoblock, the size of which should match the equipment that you want to use with it. To do this, you will need a channel, in which you will have to drill several holes, as well as bracket and fasteners

pins of the appropriate diameter. It is desirable to take the pin from high-strength steel, as this particular part is responsible for the reliability of this type of fastening. As for the bracket, place it either up or down, so as not to interfere with the assembly. When setting up, keep in mind that the edge of the bracket should not touch the surface of the treated soil.

Now consider how to establish a hitch on the motoblock. To do this, the coupling bracket must be connected to the bracket of the motor block, and then fixed with fixing pins. In addition, for greater reliability, it is advisable to use spacer bolts, which are attached to the frame of the motoblock of the rucksack.
