The main components of the machine: engine, transmission, engine clutch. The machine is driven by a man who holds its operating handles. In order to perform various operations, people attach additional equipment to the unit: seeders, cultivators, ploughs.

It is easy to buy a petrol-powered walking tractor by an advertisement on the website. It is important to choose thee appropriate machine. Taking into account the specifications, the devices are divided into three categories:

• Light - maximum capacity: 6 HP, a minimum number of mounted equipment is used, can handle no more than 1 ha;
• Medium agricultural walking tractors - maximum power: 10 HP, work with the majority of mounted equipment types, attachment of a trailer is permitted, they are designed for handling up to 1 hectare of land;
• Heavy - minimum power: 11 HP, they are provided with a transmission for 3-4 speeds, are multi-functional, thanks to working with any kind of mounted attachments.

Buying the equipment for a walking tractor should involve taking into account the operations you want to perform. Soil tillage will require ploughs and harrows. Handling crops will be facilitated by cultivators, hilling-up ploughs. In order to stockpile grass for cattle, you will need mowers.

If you want to provide your private household with the necessary equipment, it is worth buying a walking tractor in a kit together with the necessary equipment. Depending on the type of engine, the choice is made between diesel and petrol. You should also decide on the running gear: whether you need a wheel-type or a track-type machine. With allowance for fastening of mounted attachments, machines can have a pulley or a power-takeoff shaft.

Buying a track-type walking tractor may be needed for heavy-textured, weak, unstable soils. They have better grip with the ground than wheel-type machines and a larger pulling force. However, you will need a means of transportation to deliver the machine to the needed place. Track-type gear can damage the road surface. When selecting the machine, you should also pay attention to the fuel tank volume, the maximum width and depth of tillage.
