Homemade inventions for t 25 with your own hands.
Tuning the T-25 is an interesting and creative task. The owners of this unique and multifunctional product strive to make it beautiful, practical and convenient. Tractor tuning can be done in a home workshop, without contacting specialists at a car service center. Do-it-yourself work will not only save a considerable amount of money, but also pleasantly spend your free time transforming equipment outside and inside. Let us dwell on the areas along which the domestic T-25 tractor is being redesigned.
External modification of the T-25
At one time, the product was created to perform various agricultural tasks. At the same time, minimal attention was paid to his appearance. Over the years of operation, all the parts have lost even the shine that was created at the manufacturer. It is quite clear that T-25 owners begin tuning with external changes to the tractor.
For work you will need the following tools and materials:
- roulette;
- Bulgarian;
- welding machine;
- spray gun;
- soldering iron;
- liquid primer;
- car paint.
Using these devices, you can introduce appearance tractor the following changes:
- Replacement individual parts cabins, wings, rims. They are made independently or purchased in a store. If necessary, parts are adjusted. The front and rear bumpers made of thick pipes significantly improve the appearance of the tractor.
- Body painting. There are many solutions here. The main rule is that the coloring complies with the requirements of the traffic police. The tractor can be painted in one or more colors. Airbrushing is allowed.
- Installation of new optics. This will not only transform the appearance of the unit, but also increase the safety of its movement on the road. The car is equipped with new headlights, brake lights and turning lights. IN permissible limits LED strip is used.
When carrying out external modifications of the unit, the principle of reasonable sufficiency must be observed.
Excessive enthusiasm for bright colors can ruin the appearance of the tractor.
Tuning the cabin of the T-25 tractor
The salon is the place that is visible only to the operator. It is quite understandable that the owner wants to make the cabin not only convenient and comfortable, but also practical.
A plow is a special agricultural device, which is characterized by the presence of a wide metal share. With its help, the main soil treatment is carried out - plowing. This device is characterized by a fairly high cost, so many farmers create it with their own hands, in our case on the T 25.
Our result
The production of this unit is carried out in three ways. This allows a person to choose the most suitable option for himself, depending on his capabilities. For the manufacture of attachments Drawings are very often used. If you do not have sheet bending rollers for bending the blade, then you can use a method that does not require this.
Blade size
During the formation of the plow body, it is necessary to take into account the fact that during the raising of a layer of earth, the height of which is from 20 to 25 centimeters, the plow will withstand very heavy loads. This exposes the housing surfaces to abrasive wear. That is why the working parts of this tractor attachment must be made of steel, the thickness of which is from 3 to 5 millimeters.
Regardless of the method of manufacturing the unit, it is necessary that its share be removable. This will allow you to sharpen it well before plowing the ground. Alloy steel is most often used for this purpose. When using carbon steel, it is necessary to beat the cutting parts of the ploughshare on an anvil before plowing, and then sharpen them.
At correct selection material can be provided high level operability of attachments on the tractor. In this case, a do-it-yourself plow on T25 will work reliably and for a long time.Equipment manufacturing methods
A homemade unit can be made in two ways.
- In the first case, it is used to make a dump steel pipe, the diameter of which is 55-60 centimeters, and the wall thickness is 0.4-0.5 centimeters. Initially, you need to make a template from thick cardboard. For this purpose, appropriate drawings are used. If you have on hand plate bending rollers, then the workpiece is given the required shape as simply as possible. The blade blank is cut out using scissors. When feeding it to the rollers, an angle of 20 degrees is maintained. After bending it, modification is done using a hammer.
- The second option is a rather labor-intensive way to make the unit yourself. To make it, it is necessary to heat the workpiece in a forge or any other in a convenient way. Next, it is bent along the matrix. For this purpose, the blade from the attachments of the T 25 tractor is most often used. Sheet steel is used as a raw material for the production of the body. The next stage involves placing the template on the pipe while maintaining an angle of 20 degrees. The outline of the dump can be drawn using chalk. Next it needs to be cut off. For this purpose, gas welding is most often used. The contour is processed using sandpaper. If the need arises, the blade contour is modified using a hammer.
Do homemade plow These two methods are quite simple. This procedure will be within the power of even the most inexperienced craftsmen. More detailed instructions You can see about the manufacture of attachments in the video, which is located on our website.
Manufacturing technology
Initially, the elements of the unit are manufactured from thick cardboard. For this you must also use drawings. In order to make a homemade plow as correctly as possible, it is necessary to maintain the appropriate angles. If the parameters of the unit suit you, then you need to make it out of metal.
After production metal elements plow must be used steel sheet for their assembly, the thickness of which will be from 2 to 3 millimeters. You need to step back from the edges of the sheet and put a corner on it. In order to make a plow with your own hands, you need to install the plowshare on a metal sheet.
- Correct manufacturing of attachments for the T 25 tractor requires the use of welding to fasten the ploughshare to a metal sheet. Next, you need to place the side shield of the rack under the plowshare. This is done in such a way that it is located in a vertical position and extends beyond the edge of the ploughshare by about 7 centimeters. It also needs to be attached to the metal sheet and plowshare. Welding is most often used for this purpose.
- In order to correctly make a plow for the T 25, it is necessary to fit the moldboard to the ploughshare. It requires maximum tight joining with the canvas. The blade of the ploughshare and the top edge should be located under right angle. Otherwise, they will need to be finished with a hammer.
- In order to make it correctly homemade unit for T 25 it is necessary to attach the spacer bar to the side panel by welding. If you don't know how to do this, you can watch the video on our website. The shield, plowshare and side sheet must be connected to each other by welding.
The work of a homemade plow
In order for the T 25 plow to independently hold the furrow, a two-wheeled block is fitted to it. The width of the furrow wheel should be 4-5 centimeters, and the diameter should be 32 centimeters. The diameter of the field wheel should be 20 centimeters. The axle for the plow wheels on the T 25 tractor is made from a pipe whose size is ¾ inches.
On one side, the pipe must be bent 90 degrees and a bushing must be welded to it, on which the furrow wheel will later be installed. The field wheel is mounted on the other side of the pipe. The wheel axle is manufactured as a composite one. The pipe itself is attached to the attachment beam by welding.
Setting up the plow
In the video you can see the plow in action (second option)
The depth of soil plowing with a tractor plow ranges from 20 to 24 centimeters. The same distance should be between the field wheel and the toe of the ploughshare. If you provide the ability to move the field wheel vertically, the plow can be adjusted according to the depth of plowing and the width of the soil during work. If you don’t know how to enable wheel movement, then you can watch a video on this on our website.
Making attachments yourself is not very easy, but it is still possible. The main thing is to choose the right material and adhere to the production technology as accurately as possible.
The potato digger for T 25 is one of the most popular types of attachments. Most farmers prefer to make this equipment themselves. The potato planter is no less popular. With the help of these devices, fields of small and medium areas are usually processed.
You can purchase equipment at any agricultural market or in specialized stores. But there is a category of farmers who prefer to make various units with their own hands. The homemade potato digger was no exception. Making this unit is quite simple; anyone can do it. In this article we will look at factory models of potato diggers suitable for the T-25 tractor and tell you how you can make them yourself.
Review of devices for planting and harvesting potatoes
The T-25 tractor belongs to the 0.6 traction class. This suggests that The maximum load on the hydraulic attachment system should not exceed 600 kilograms. Therefore, a single-row potato planter is best suited for this model. The most popular attachments include the following models:
Bulwa-1
This is a single row potato digger that is best suited for the T-25. Thanks to your design features, suitable for working on light and medium soils.
The main working tool is a ploughshare, consisting of three segments. The tillage depth is 25 centimeters, which is quite enough for digging up root crops. To minimize damage to tubers, the conveyor is equipped with a protective shell.
KTN-1B
The simplest hiller for potatoes from domestic producers. The whole design consists of the work of the rotor and ploughshare. With the help of a ploughshare, the root crops are removed to the surface, and the rotary mechanism throws them to the side.
2MBS-1
This is a single-row potato planter that allows tubers to be planted to a depth of up to 120 millimeters. Among the features of this equipment, two containers can be noted: one is intended for seed potatoes, the other for fertilizers.
The productivity of this device is about 0.3 hectares per hour, while the tubers will be located at a distance of 250 millimeters from each other. To operate this unit, about 18 horsepower is required, which is suitable for the T-25 tractor.
Homemade potato digger for T-25
Making a potato digger with your own hands is not so difficult, the main thing is to prepare the necessary drawings. This will greatly facilitate the process of assembling the equipment.
The operating principle of these agricultural units is quite simple. The ploughshare opens upper layer soil and soil together with the tubers are sent to a conveyor belt. While moving along the conveyor, the soil crumbles and peeled potatoes remain. The equipment is attached to the rear hydraulic suspension of the tractor, in our case it is a T-25.
Despite the apparent simplicity of the mechanism, you still have to work hard to create it. Therefore, it would be useful to prepare preliminary drawings. For convenience, the entire manufacturing process can be divided into several stages. Let's look at each in detail.
First you need to make a reliable base. In order to make a frame, you need to take four metal channels and connect them together with metal corners. For structural reliability, it is recommended to weld the joints with a welding machine.
The elevator casing is attached to the frame using bolts; to do this, holes must be drilled in the frame for fasteners. Connecting the casing and frame with bolts allows you to change the angle of inclination of the elevator and the plowshare that is attached to it. It can be made from a disk circular saw. To ensure that the tubers are not damaged when digging, it is necessary to round the edges of the ploughshare.
Then you need to make a composite editorial node. It is made in the form of two metal cylinders: a “glass” and a sleeve. They serve to connect shafts – drive and driven. The shafts must have free movement and are driven by gears. Hubs must be welded to the gears; they can be made from scraps of metal pipe.
The next unit that needs to be made is the cleaning drum. This is perhaps one of the most difficult units to make. This design is based on two roller-type chains. Each should contain 94 links. The chains are placed on metal pins and secured with steel disks for greater strength. The chains are driven by the drive shaft.
The roller-chain system must slide on a special slider, which performs a supporting function and protects the mechanism from damage. It is recommended to make the slider from fluoroplastic.
The input axle for mounting with the T-25 tractor is made as follows. A hole is made in the side walls of the elevator casing for the pin. A gear with a bearing, two bushings and a spacer ring are installed on the stud. After this, the axle is passed through the second hole and secured with nuts.
This single-row potato digger is very popular in small farms. It is optimally suited for the T-25 tractor.
Homemade potato planter for T-25
To make this device, you will have to try. Planting potatoes is a more complex process than digging them up. Therefore, appropriate equipment is needed. It’s quite difficult to make, but the result is a functional device with pretty good performance. Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare drawings of the main components and think over a diagram of their connection.
The frame can be made from five pieces of metal channel. Two pieces longer length will serve as sidewalls, which will be held together by three crossbars. The connection is made using electric welding. A fork is welded to the front of the frame and two metal pins are installed. This is a three-point attachment scheme to the hydraulic hitch of the T-25 tractor.
Support posts with closing disks and metal plates of the seed tube are installed on the sides. A trunk is installed on the back, which can be made from three boards.
Then a hopper for root crops is mounted to the frame using support plates. It can be made from durable plywood and covered moisture resistant paint. The volume of the bunker depends on your preferences. Recommended capacity 0.17 cu. meters.
It is necessary to provide a place for the planter next to the bunker. This model of homemade potato planter requires two people. One drives the tractor, the other throws tubers from the hopper into the seeders.
A wheelbase and a soil loosener holder are attached to the bottom of the frame. For a potato planter, you can use ready-made wheels or make homemade ones of a cylindrical shape. Hubs with bearings are welded to the wheels and mounted on the axle.
The holder for baking powder must be made from a square rod. At the ends of the rod there are special clips designed for the cultivator's paws.
The next unit that needs to be made is the seeders. To do this, you will need a steel pipe 100 millimeters long and with a wall thickness of at least 3 mm. A groove cutter made of a six-millimeter sheet of steel is welded to the bottom of the pipe.
Remember that it is not advisable to use thinner metal. This unit bears the main load and the thin steel will simply bend.
The operating principle of such a unit is quite simple. The potato planter is attached to the mounted system of the T-25 tractor. Seed potatoes are poured into the bunker, large area landing, a supply of potatoes is placed on the trunk. Furrow cutters are set to the required depth.
The tractor, moving at forward speed, uses furrow cutters to open the soil into which tubers are thrown through the seeders. The frequency of planting potatoes directly depends on the speed of the tractor and the efforts of the planter. After this, the furrow is covered with a layer of earth using closing discs.
The result is a fairly functional unit with which you can process small and medium-sized fields. The only thing you should think about yourself is the mechanism for adjusting the furrow cutters and closing discs. Alternatively, you can use simple system bolted connections.
Holes are drilled in the racks to serve as a depth gauge. Soil loosening agents are attached to these holes using bolts. For such a scheme, drawings are not needed.
Remember that the load capacity of the mounted unit of the T-25 tractor does not exceed 600 kilograms. Therefore, when making potato diggers and potato planters, consider the weight of the materials used.
