Stalk cutter cultivator - my tests and conclusions


Hello everyone, here comes the time of the gardens, and I remembered homemade, which I once described, we will talk about a cultivator, into which you can turn a bender. The land in our places is quite badly launched, wheatgrass grows, and it grows literally 3 cm per day, only if you remove it with a hoe, you come in the morning and green wool sticks out again.

Also many annuals and other nastiness. Now the task has arisen of preparing a plot of land for seedlings, the land was plowed on April 30, and almost a month later the greenery managed to grow.



I decided to collect the nozzle for an ambulance in order to check the performance. I used an old three-blade knife for mowing grass as a basis. As the "spikes" used the old Soviet nails, they are much stronger than the current ones. I cut nails 3 cm with kopeks and welded to the blades. I installed 3 nails on each blade, at first I wanted 4, but even 3 turned out to be a lot.


He installed the nozzle, went to the garden, at first he tried to work as an oblique, in both directions, but he threw the barbell, the grass was not torn completely, but he removed 70 percent, of course. I learned to work with the tool towards the end of the work, the nozzle should go only in one direction, as when working with a manual scythe. You also need to do a little pressure so that the nozzle deepens into the ground. So, as a result, the cultivator cuts off about 2-3 cm of soil, this whole soil flies with a torch under his feet, but the torch does not even reach his knees in height, so I had rubber boots for protection. I did not use the shield for the braid, it is, of course, safer with it, but the earth would have laid in a different way.

The homemade product is standing, everything is working fine and it’s definitely easier than waving at +30 hoe, and you won’t get such land as in my photo. The result is a very soft, fluffy soil, all weeds are cut, torn and thrown to the surface along with the cut soil.

Of course, I did everything "to leave me alone", but the homemade product was checked - it works! And this is a cultivator, not some kind of weed. Of course, they can simply tear the grass, but from cultivation the effect is much steeper, the virgin soil turns into good soil for planting.

The engine runs under load, but not critical, I worked at a quarter of the gas, the engine is 2.2 kW. After work, my hands were pricked and itchy, as if they had beaten me with a nettle. This is all from vibration, the nozzle must be balanced.

I will definitely make a disk with good spikes and work, but I don’t need as many spikes as the author of the idea, it’s a lot. Two or, in extreme cases, three rows of spikes will suffice. If more - a heavy load on the engine, a large mass, and it is not necessary, in general. It is better not to drive the engine for a long time, you can overheat, it is designed to work at high speeds, and not like a tractor, under constant load. That's all, ask what you forgot to tell. Good luck

Yes, you just can’t let him breathe - let the greens, the root will die

Yes, no leek will die from this, it will not even die from herbicides, it dries only for a while, and then grows as if nothing had happened. It remains only to constantly weed it, preventing it from growing.

If you cut the root of the peria, it will still germinate even with a length of 1 cm. There would be something to wind it, or pluck it. I think that the pins should be longer up to 15-20 cm, but with it and thicker, but then you need more power

Leek will grow anyway, because its roots grow by 1-1.5 meters. And with 15-20 cm pins you simply can’t weave: firstly, you won’t hold the braid yourself; secondly, the engine will die immediately; thirdly, the gearbox and the drive cable grunt to hell.

There is no question that the engine will definitely warm up strongly. It will often need to be cooled, although its resource will be significantly lower. But how long the gearbox will work, because it is rather flimsy and is not designed for such loads - mow the grass and cut small bushes and then it gets warm?
I’m not telling you, I’m rather, he probably doesn’t need much air, and pouring the whole garden with liquid oil, for example, is not practical. The peria antagonist variant is good, but there are few such plants. I saw wild strawberry in the steppe as a strong antagonist, it crowds many

we have blacker, but here it is very light, the color is like sand

I think we need to weld the plates instead of spikes, such as a rake, so that the knives cut the ground. Although, maybe I'm wrong.

He doesn’t wrap anything, never cleaned the nozzle, his soul with a herbicide for the second year, but you need to plow, how not to plow? Of course, it grows better from plowing, but what to do. For the winter I’ll sow a thread of rapeseed, let it choke.

You have an interesting color of the earth

And what should it be?)))).
I mean, we have the same one)))
You have an interesting color of the earth. So I understood that the studs were welded, weeds (periy) are not wound on nails? There, in the distance, the kangaroo graze, and not the same cow. In order to destroy the periy, you must manually vibrate everything to the smallest root and in no case scream the whole earth as the roots are rooted. Or kill with a targeted herbicide

Well, the first time my hands burned very much, just like nettles, but not for long, about 5 minutes. The second time it’s already less, probably a matter of habit
I will have to try. But about balancing, you probably should not bother. How many do not balance, all the same the vibration will be from touching the ground, somewhere a spine, somewhere a pebble, etc.
