Varieties of garden crushers on a walk-behind tractor for crushing branches. Wood shredder Russia for walk-behind tractor (belt drive) What we do

Each summer resident on his site in spring or autumn is faced with such a problem as dry branches on fruit trees and shrubs. Most summer residents throw away or burn this material. Because sometimes they do not have the strength and means to process them. But if you chop these branches, you get excellent compost and fertilizer for your garden.

There are a wide variety of garden shredders, twigs, grass and straw available for sale. But all these units cost money, and sometimes not small for a simple summer resident, and our gardener is used to saving money and doing everything himself, since the family budget does not allow walking in a big way.

The author decided to design his own wood shredder from what he had available. And the author had an old walk-behind tractor on the farm. It was on the basis of this unit that our designer decided to assemble a branch chopper.

The principle of this design is quite simple, if you understand everything well. The chopping apparatus itself consists of a drive shaft with knives and a fixed knife, due to the torque of the drive shaft with knives, branches and bushes are crushed into fine dust and chips. The drive shaft drives the torque passing from the walk-behind tractor through the belt to the pulley of the rotating shaft, thereby activating the grinder. For the convenience of supplying material to the chopping unit, he welded a receiving hopper out of sheet metal, which is very convenient when you simply direct the branch into the hopper, and then slowly push it. That's essentially the whole complexity of the design, and now let's take a closer look at what he needed and how he designed his invention.

Materials: walk-behind tractor, knives from an electric planer, pulley, shaft, bearings, channel, sheet metal 3 mm, bolts, nuts, washers.
Tools: welding machine, grinder, hammer, set of keys, pliers, drill.

And so the author first welded the base from the channel, then installed a fixed knife, and the most important part is the drive shaft with knives from the electric planer, the pulley is installed on the shaft with the cutting device to drive it from the torque supplied from the walk-behind tractor through a belt drive.

Then he welded and installed a receiving hopper for the convenience of carrying out work on chopping branches.

And then he installed the chopping apparatus on the front of the walk-behind tractor and pulled the belt drive onto the pulley. The walk-behind tractor was previously placed on a stump so that it would not leave))).

That's essentially it, and everything is a twig chopper

Sometimes, to keep order in the garden, you need to remove garbage and mow the grass. A device such as a wood shredder for a walk-behind tractor was invented in order to reduce the amount of dry brushwood. There are a huge number of these models on the market. However, if desired, you can make such a device yourself using improvised means.

Equipment characteristic

Dry branches on your site may remain after cutting firewood or pruning trees. As a result, a huge slide can form, which you need to get rid of. The most famous option is considered to be sending wood to compost. However, this process can take you a lot of time, and the branches themselves spoil the aesthetic appearance.

Therefore, the best solution is a wood splitter for chopping large sticks and making them small in size, with which you can heat the stove and so on. Such a nozzle on a walk-behind tractor has many positive qualities. Among them are:

there is no need to kindle fires to destroy garbage and waste;
the resulting shavings can be used as fertilizer.

Before you start such a unit at home, decide in advance why exactly you are going to grind something. It directly depends on the type and design of the device. In general, all garden waste machines can be divided according to the parameters: the power and type of engine used, as well as the type and principle of operation of the shredding unit.

As you know, any type of car is equipped with an engine. So this device has 2 types of motors:

petrol;
electric.

Each of these types has its pros and cons. For example, a unit with a gasoline engine copes much better with large branches. Such models are more mobile, and they do not need an electrical outlet.

Sometimes the grinder can be used as a nozzle for a walk-behind tractor, tractor and other types of machines. Then it is best to use the electric option. Compared to gasoline, it is more compact and easy to operate. But electrical appliances are very attached to the place of connection.

Another feature of such garden devices is the design of the knives. The quality of grinding depends on them. For example, some devices can process tree branches about 10 cm long. The result depends on the diameter of the sticks and the processing method.

The next device is a combined design that processes large pieces of wood and produces fine sawdust. In the unit, the main role is played by the disk and knives directly connected to the engine. Due to the small moment, such a device cuts only very thin branches.

DIY device manufacturing process

Assembling a structure for chopping wooden sticks is a very difficult job. However, if you do everything right, you will save your money, which cannot be said about buying in hardware stores.

In addition to saving, home-made cars have a whole list of positive qualities:

the person himself chooses the desired power of the unit;
the equipment is equipped with the necessary number of knives that will be needed during the work;
the diameter of the branches is determined during the manufacture of the equipment;
low price of parts for design modeling.

Having decided to assemble the chopper, you must prepare all the necessary materials:

saws in the form of a disk, 15-25 pieces;
gasoline or electric motor;
pulley and strong belt;
a set of bearings;
M20 stud, washers and nuts to it;
metal pipes intended for the frame;
steel sheets;
plastic washers, 14-24 pieces.

Then proceed to the assembly itself, which takes place in several stages:

Type the saws on the axle, the caliber of which is the same as the mounting holes of the discs, at a distance of 20 mm. To do this, it is better to take an M20 threaded stud and bolts and nuts of the same size.
In the event that the discs on the stud are too closely spaced, the knife will not function. This is due to the fact that during rotation, the teeth are in contact. To prevent this, install every 2 parts further apart. In this case, washers will help you, which you can make yourself from plastic and install between the saws.
Next, a pulley taken from an old car is fixed to the axle. To allow the axle to turn freely, use 2 intermediate shaft bearings with a diameter of 20 mm.
Weld a frame of metal tubes, where the nozzle on the walk-behind tractor will be attached later. The motor is attached in such a way that you can move it in relation to the saws. This need is manifested in order to change the tension of the drive belt.
For practical use, fix the holding bar, which is made of a metal profile. Tree branches will rest against this detail during crushing.
Put on a casing on the cutting block, which is welded from steel leaves.
An additional hopper with a socket is fixed to the upper part. It is needed to load the material and can be made of galvanized steel.

Your log splitter is ready, and with it you can easily get down to business.

Conclusion on the topic

As it turned out, a homemade wood splitter is a very useful and indispensable thing in agriculture. Let the knives of this device cannot chop large logs, but they can easily overcome small branches.

By assembling the chopper on your own, you get the opportunity to choose all the necessary parameters that make the job easy.

This is the main advantage of homemade over factory counterparts.

Varieties of garden chippers for branches

There are several classifications of branch shredders for walk-behind tractors, which differ

by type of power plant;
by motor performance;
by quantity and quality of cutting knives;
according to the principle of operation of the unit;
by appointment;
with or without additional features.

Let's analyze each option in more detail.

Types of engines and their performance

For the full operation of a garden chopper for a walk-behind tractor, motorized devices with the following power plants can be used:

gasoline type;
electrical.

Gasoline engines are more efficient and do not require a power source. Electric models are more unpretentious in maintenance and do not require special care, quiet, but will not work without being connected to the mains or to the battery.

Number of cutting edges, their features

Cutting mechanisms are of the following types:

circular saws fixed on the shaft in the amount of 15-30 pieces;
jointer knife with grooves, in an amount from 2 to 6 pieces;
synchronously rotating shafts with knives.

Knives can be of two types:

with one blade;
with two blades.

The second option allows in case of blunting of one cutting edge, turn the knife over and continue working with the second cutting edge. Knives are easy to replace and sharpen.

Peculiarities

There are the following attachments:

Designed for grinding dry branches;
Stump grinder for walk-behind tractor;
Grass grinders for walk-behind tractor;
Crushers working with raw material.

Specialized stores offer a complete set of nozzles that allow you to work with any material. Shredders for walk-behind tractors are able to pass branches with a diameter of about 5 cm through themselves, while the final product will reach a length of no more than 8 cm.

Additional nozzles (advanced functionality)

But if you want to further expand the functionality of the walk-behind tractor, for example, you want to chop wood with it (to produce solid fuel for baths, fireplaces and stoves), then such a nozzle as a wood splitter is very useful. The nozzle consists of a side table and a special cone with a screw notch. The cone, under the influence of high speed, is screwed into the log, tearing it into several parts. Harvesting firewood is fast and without the expenditure of effort and energy.

The principle of operation of the chipper

The engine is started, the torque from the flywheel of the walk-behind tractor motor, through a belt drive and a pulley, is transmitted to the wood chipper gearbox.
Branches are fed into the loading hopper.
Knives, rotating, tighten the branches deep into, where they are crushed in the cutting compartment.
Waste (chips, sawdust, chopped branches) is poured out through a special hopper.

Do-it-yourself branch crusher for a walk-behind tractor

Branch crushers can be made with your own hands, this will save the family budget and allow the owner of the walk-behind tractor to make a device according to their requests. For work on the creation of a chopper attachment, it will be useful:
