Motoblocks are used by owners of subsidiary farms of various sizes. This is not surprising, because such units can perform a wide range of tasks: from transporting goods to complex agricultural work. In addition, such units do not require expensive maintenance. The only significant drawback of the walk-behind tractor is inconvenience in management.
To fix this, use adapters - cart-type devices, thanks to which you can work while sitting. To simplify and facilitate the work with the adapter, a brake system is installed on it. In addition, the installation of brakes will secure operation. You can buy it in the store. But often it is very expensive. Anyone can make a brake system with their own hands. It does not even require special technical education.

Brake selection
Before starting work, you should choose which type of brake will be the most preferable and suitable for your case. It is worth immediately abandoning the use of band brakes. Their capabilities will not be enough even to ensure the implementation of simple tasks, to say nothing of the transportation of heavy loads. You can use a car parking brake, the efficiency and reliability of which will be an order of magnitude higher. But the process of its dismantling and subsequent installation on a walk-behind tractor is an extremely time-consuming process that takes much more time.
The ideal option is to use drum brakes from a motorcycle or small car. It will not be superfluous to use pads and spokes from a motorcycle.

Tools:
- welding machine;
- file;
- drill;
- spanners.
Materials and details:
- brake drum;
- control system (motorcycle or automobile);
- wheel spokes;
- brake cable;
- pads;
- other accessories.
Preparing to create
To make the homemade product as good and reliable as possible, use the drawings of the brake system that will be used in the design. The drawing should more accurately reflect the structure of the future structure. Since the system includes many parts that have a complex structure, you need to be extremely careful and avoid miscalculations.
Each node and element must be manufactured and installed in accordance with the drawing. For the greatest efficiency of the future braking system, install brakes on each wheel. This will make it possible to stop even at high speed, and will also help to avoid an unwanted turn during heavy braking.
Process of creation
After preparing everything you need, you can start manufacturing.
- Stage 1. Installation of the drum mechanism. It is necessary to install the existing drums on the hubs. Make sure both mechanisms are working and ready to use.
- Stage 2. Mounting on an axle. After making sure that it is in good condition, attach the resulting mechanism to the axis using a sleeve. The connection must be fixed, since the displacement of the structure during operation is unacceptable.
- Stage 3. Axis lock. Weld the part to the axle for a more secure fixation of the brake. A metal pipe of small diameter and size or a corner is perfect.
- Stage 4. Rope attachment. In order for the brake mechanism to function, it is necessary to stretch the brake cable. It must securely connect the drum to the control system.
- Stage 5. Creation of a control system. As a braking control system, one from a motorcycle or car is suitable. If you have technical knowledge, you can make it yourself from improvised means.
Further operation
You have assembled a brake system for your walk-behind tractor. If necessary, adjust the operation of individual nodes. Over time, some parts will wear out. For example, pads or cables. They need to be changed in a timely manner.
I hope this article helped you achieve your goal: to make a brake system for a walk-behind tractor. Do not dwell on what is given in the article. Continue to improve your walk-behind tractor, customize it for yourself so that working with it becomes as easy and efficient as possible!
