The one who works a lot with the earth, is aware that in order to get a good harvest, it is necessary to carry out a whole range of work, including soil cultivation. Traditionally, we use a shovel on private plots. However, for faster and better performance, many prefer to use special equipment. In particular - motoblocks, which can perform a number of complex tasks.
Why do we need cutters for the motor block?
One of the types of attachments installed on home motoblocks are cutters. With their help it is possible to produce high-quality plowing of the land, loosening it, and also to fight with weeds and to fill up fertilizers. Apply motoblok with a mill in the spring preseeding period.
Usually, active milling cutters for the motor block are used on heavy and excessively humid soils, during the development of damp layers, for cutting off hummocks and improving pastures. On light soils, it is not recommended to use such equipment to avoid sputtering.
Kinds of mills for motoblock
All cutters can radically differ from each other in design - the arrangement of knives, their number. Undoubtedly, it is the knives that are the main element of any milling cutter. And the quality of soil treatment directly depends on the material of their manufacture.
The best knives - forged with self-sharpening, made in Italy. But often for the production of mills use stamped sheets. However, in this case, the edge of the knives will not be pronounced. Such knives are installed on inexpensive models of motoblocks and cultivators .
The main two types of milling cutters for motor - blocks are saber-shaped and crow's feet. Let's take a closer look at them.
In most cases, the basic set of motor blocks automatically includes saber-shaped cutters. Knives of this design are the most common and effective. They are durable and provide high-quality soil cultivation.
Saber-like blades made of strong carbon steel are manufactured, and to increase the strength, they can be additionally treated thermally and hardened by currents. Determine that before you cutters of high quality can be due to the fact that they can not be welded.
"Goose paws" appeared on the market of milling tillage equipment relatively recently. They are designed specifically for the treatment of virgin land and control of weeds. The disadvantage of such mills in their less strength, because of what they often have to be repaired.
Since knives of the "crow's feet" type are made of ordinary steel, they are easily welded. However, repairs take a lot of time, and this gives a lot of inconvenience.
Frequently Asked Questions about Mills for a Motoblock
Of the most common questions of interest to beginner farmers is whether you need to sharpen the mills for a motor-block. The answer will depend on whether the knives are self-sharpened or not. If so, you do not need to sharpen them. It also depends on what type of soil you are going to deal with. If it is very wet and heavy, you can try to further sharpen the edge with a Bolgar.
Another issue relates to the frequency of rotation of the mill.
What should I do if the motoblock does not work well with the milling cutter? There is no unambiguous answer to this question, because first we need to find out the reason. And it can consist both in the malfunction of the motoblock itself and in the malfunctioning of the remaining units. And if you are not experienced enough in these matters, it's better not to lose time and turn to a specialist for help.
