Small tractor from motor equipment carrier “Agro”
Motor equipment carrier “Agro” or “Agros” is very popular among farmers. The reason for this is the high-quality assembly, durability and functionality. Agro and Agros are two names for the same model.
This walk-behind tractor is the development of a plant in Ufa – Ufa MPO. Agros have been produced in Ufa since 1998. Shortly after production started, the model was still called Agro, but among farmers it is known under both names.
Which model should be used as a basis?
The power of “Agro” is 8 hp. or 5.8 kW, has gained wide popularity for many reasons, the main of which are the build quality, Russian production, as well as the high quality of the parts from which the walk-behind tractor is made and high performance.
The motor equipment carrier is equipped with a UMZ-341 carburetor engine (4 cycles, 1 cylinder, fuels with gasoline). In terms of power and performance, the engine is similar to the Honda GX240.

Due to its high performance and good traction performance, the Agro single-axle tractor is a popular basis for converting it into a small tractor. Since the manufacturer has only one model in the agro model range, it is used as the basis for creating a small tractor. The weight of the walk-behind tractor is 160 kg.
Equipment with this weight can withstand many additional structures – a pair of wheels, a frame, a driver’s seat and the weight of the driver himself.
Farmers who have converted a walk-behind tractor into a small tractor on their own also recommend using weighting devices with an average weight of up to 40 kg.
We bring to your attention a video about the walk-behind agro tractor converted into a homemade small tractor:

What is required to turn a walk-behind tractor into a small tractor?
To make a small tractor with your own hands, you need not only the walk-behind agro-tractor, but also a certain set of additional components, namely:
- welding device;
- wheels (you can use wheels from VAZ 2106);
- driver’s seat or car seat;
- steering wheel;
- steel profiles, steel sheets;
- fasteners (screws, nuts, angles);
- mill with discs “for metal”;
- electric drill,
- Hammer and other tools;
- bearings, bushings;
- metal pipes of the required diameter;
- Hubs with brakes.
This diagram is not a direct guide to action, but an approximate drawing for creating a self-made design.

Owner Feedback
Gregory:
“I watched a video about converting a walk-behind tractor. Very impressive! I myself don’t have enough knowledge of plumbing and mechanics to upgrade the walk-behind tractor to a small tractor. But I will say this, I have been using my Agro since 2007, and if it suddenly becomes unsuitable for work, then I will just buy the same one in return. This is really cool technology.
Advantages: heavy, powerful, handles any work, good resilience. How he saved me! After buying it, I forgot what it’s like when all your joints take a break from working in the garden, a seasonal nightmare becomes the joy that every farmer probably experiences when he sees his plot.
Cons: great car! There are no defects! “
