Therefore, if you need to clean a large area using a special technique. The best option for this is a mini tractor for snow removal. It is distinguished by maneuverability, versatility and economy. This type of equipment is used in many industries. But first things first.

What is a minitractor?

Already from the title it is clear that this type of technology is smaller in size. Hence its peculiarities also arise. Large-size tractors are used for working on large areas and performing large-scale works. Minitractor, as a rule, less hardy. It is used to work in small areas. Despite this, the performance of the latter can be envied. Due to various attachments, the tractor can perform many functions. But in any case, the main task is to facilitate the work of a person, to reduce the time spent on doing work.

As can be seen, the main advantages of mini tractors are their maneuverability and productivity. In addition, they have good cross-country ability. They are able to pass through such areas of the terrain where large-scale equipment can not do it. Plus, due to the small size and weight of the mini-tractor for snow removal does not leave strong traces on the site.

Construction of minitractors

This type of technology has many common design solutions with a conventional tractor. Its main elements are:

• Engine.
• Transmission.
• Chassis.
• Working Elements.
• Mechanisms of management.

A mini tractor for snow removal is operated just like any other machine. To do this, use the steering wheel and pedals. To control the attachments, there is a system of levers.

Where are snow machines used?

Due to maneuverability and productivity, snow machines can be considered universal. They are used in many important industries:

• Industry.
• Construction.
• Agriculture.
• Communal services and others.

They are used for cleaning along roads, shops, car parks, restaurants and so on. A mini tractor is widely used for snow removal in the country.

Types of attachments

The functionality of the mini tractors depends on the attachments used. It's not enough just to shift the layer to the side. There is a need to load it, throw it further away, clean it from ice. Especially it concerns the cleaning of roads, when it is necessary to release the roadway. These works are performed due to the presence of various hinged elements:

• Blade snow-removing, located in front of the tractor. It serves to collect snow.
• A brush that cleans up what remains after the blade. It is attached to the rear of the tractor.
• Bucket, which can replace the blade. In addition to snow removal, it allows it to be loaded for removal.

• A hinged snow-picker that raises the snow and throws it aside.
• Grader knife.

As a rule, several types of equipment are installed at once. The best option includes a bucket, a knife and a brush.

Selection rules

The main issue that should be considered when choosing a mini tractors is the area of the planned harvesting. The use of this technique on large areas is impractical. Therefore, first you need to determine the amount of work that will be performed with the help of a tractor.

It should be remembered that all types of mini tractors are suitable for snow removal, to which it is possible to install attachments (in particular, a ladle). It is worth paying attention to its drive, clearance and other characteristics. Another point is the power of the machinery. The most powerful mini-tractor for snow removal with a bucket will allow to remove the required territory faster and more efficiently.

Do not forget about operation and maintenance. It is better to know in advance whether there are spare parts and accessories for the model you like. In the event of a breakdown, they will be required.

An important factor in choosing is the manufacturer of equipment. Preference should be given to already proven companies that have managed to win their customers. For example, if you need to pick up a mini-tractor for cleaning snow in the country or around the cottage, a good option is the Xtntai HT-120. For a large size of the site, Uralets with a full drive is suitable.

Minitractor for snow removal by own hands

Among the Russians there are a lot of craftsmen. Our thinking and way of life does not allow us to drop our hands. Therefore, from any situation, we always have a way out. Can a lot of snow fall out? Of course not. If you do not have the money to buy a snowplow ready (or maybe you desire), you can always make it yourself.

It is good, if the farm already has a motoblock. Then it is enough to make only a ladle for snow. But those who do not have such a "miracle technique" can always make a snow thrower from improvised materials. For this, anything can be used, from the old car to the chainsaw. A little knowledge, skills and wit. Well, maybe a few more instruments.

Minitractor with a bucket will become an indispensable assistant in the fight against snowdrifts.
