Small tractor from motorized equipment carrier “Agro”
“Agro” or “Agros” motorized implement carrier is very popular with 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 the start of production, the model was still called Agro, but it is known by both names among farmers.
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 power.
The motorized equipment carrier is equipped with a UMZ-341 carburetor engine (4 cycles, 1 cylinder, fueled with gasoline). In terms of power and performance, the engine is similar to the Honda GX240.

Due to the high performance and the good traction performance, the Agro single-axle tractor is a popular basis for conversion 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 of this weight can withstand many additional constructions – a pair of wheels, a frame, a driver’s seat and the weight of the driver himself.
Farmers who have converted a hand-held tractor into a small tractor themselves also recommend the use of ballasts with an average weight of up to 40 kg.
We draw your attention to a video about the walk-behind agro-tractor converted into a self-made compact tractor:
If you have experience with similar conversions and modernizations of your garden tools, you can put a link to your video in the comments on this article.
What does it take to turn a walk behind tractor into a mini tractor?
To make a small tractor with your own hands, you will 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, brackets);
- 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 design of your own making.

Owner feedback
Gregory:
“I was watching a video about converting a walk behind tractor. Very impressive! I myself do not yet have that much knowledge in plumbing and mechanics to upgrade the hand-held tractor to a small tractor. But I say this, I’ve been using my Agro since 2007, and if it suddenly becomes unsuitable for work, then I just buy the same one in return. This is really cool technology.
Advantages: heavy, powerful, masters any job, good resilience. How he saved me! After the purchase I forgot how it is when all joints take a break from working in the garden, a seasonal nightmare becomes the joy that probably every farmer experiences when looking at his plot.
Cons: great car! There are no flaws! “
