5 best motoblocks Salute
At one time (from 2002 to 2012), self-propelled small-sized tractors, or, more simply, motor-blocks "Salyut" were produced by the Moscow-based enterprise of the same name, which manufactures aircraft engines. Now the production of motoblock equipment has been moved to China, but technical control is still carried out by the experts of NPTsG "Salyut". And judging by the increased number of satisfied reviews, such a decision has a positive effect on both the quality and the technical capabilities of the entire model line.
So, among the real advantages of this agricultural equipment, it is usually indicated:
- equipment with reliable 4-stroke engines from the world's best manufacturers - American Briggs & Stratton and Kohler, Japanese Honda and Subaru Robin, as well as Chinese Lifan;
- strong frame made of two steel squares, solid rubber wheels, relatively low weight (up to 100 kg) and, accordingly, high stability and maneuverability in a limited area;
- universal width of tillage with milling cutters (from 30 to 105 cm) and a special design of milling knives, due to which the cultivated soil has the most loose structure;
- the use in the transmission of a belt drive with two V-belts and a gear reducer, which, in comparison with a chain one, significantly increases the reliability and durability of the entire walk-behind tractor as a whole;
- a wide range of models and a sufficient range of attachments, which means the ability to choose a walk-behind tractor with the desired characteristics and an optimal set of functions at an acceptable cost.
More specific advantages should be considered on the example of individual models of "Salute". The best of them were selected based on the results of the analysis (reviews of the owners, value for money, reliability of work and maintainability were assessed), after which they were collected in the TOP-5 rating.
