Hello. Let me tell you briefly about myself. I live in Ukraine which is located in Europe. I'm 24 years old. Ever since my youth I was interested in electronics, programming, and even as mechanics. 7 months ago I decided to build a homemade mini tractor. For the transmission I used parts from 4x4 vehicle LuAZ 969 m. Used gearbox, front and rear axle, side gears wheels. Bought diesel Sadko DE300 capacity of 6 horsepower. Differential rear axle can be locked. Photos and videos will be later.

Thanks for the intro, Vyacheslav Nevolya! Welcome to the site!

Wow, that's really awesome that you built your own tractor! This sounds like an incredible project.

I know that we all will be anxiously awaiting your pics and videos!

Glad to have you join us. Like Austen said, we'll be looking forward to seeing your creation.

My tractor is built only 70%, much work remains to be done. Photo homemade tractor and trailer.

:howdy:Hello and Welcome to MLMF Vyacheslav

And :ditto: what DrBailey said :cool

Your tractor looks like it's powered by an air-cooled, smaller diesel. I sure like the way you have the drive-train set up. The gearing to horse power sure seems like it can handle that trailer full of logs.

You say you're 70% completed. What do you have planned for the future to finish your machine?

How is the transmission connected to the flywheel/crank shaft?

Do you have any videos of it working your property? (someone told me you did )

Awesome tractor! I truly admire your workmanship. I also enjoy looking at the background in each of the pictures. Seems to be a beautiful place.

Sorry for Syntactic errors in sentences, I well speak Ukrainian and Russian, but not very good in English.
So air-cooled engine, as it does not consume a lot of fuel. He has only 6hp, but I between the engine and gearbox put gear reduction 4:1. This transmission is perfectly matched, the engine pulls well on any gear. With 4X4 connection he feels good on the road. The maximum weight that I had to pull the trailer 900-1000kg.

I plan to make a homemade electrical device lifting for shovels and rear device, set the brake, put the generator 220 volts. After completion of the tractor I start building mower for him and other tools

Trust me, your English is outstanding. Better than many here in the U.S. Besides, the build of your tractor speaks an international language that we all appreciate here.

 

[Austen]

That is pretty amazing! Great job, that would be quite a project. You should be very proud!! :ThumbUp:
How long did it take to design and build?

Thank you for sharing the videos, have you given any thought to building an enclosure for the tractor during the winter months?
