DIY trailer for a walk-behind tractor: device and manufacturing procedure

Working on a personal plot or having a small allotment at some distance from home, you have to constantly transport this or that cargo: the grown crop or the collected garbage. A trailer for a walk-behind tractor will help to facilitate work, which you can make with your own hands. To do this, you need to get acquainted with the device of the trolley for the walk-behind tractor, purchase the necessary materials and components, and then get to work.

Trolley device for walk-behind tractor

When deciding how to make a trolley for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands, you must first decide what kind of cargo will be transported with its help. This will have a serious impact on the design of the manufactured product. Depending on the carrying capacity, trailers are usually divided into devices that allow you to transport:

• up to 70 kg. They have a simple design;
• up to 110 - 120 kg. A universal option. Most commonly used in the household;
• more than 120 kg. They have advanced functionality. They place increased demands on the strength characteristics of the materials used in the manufacture of the bearing element and finishing.

In the most general case, the trolley for walk-behind tractor includes:

• frame that takes the load during operation. For its manufacture, a channel or rolled metal can be used, depending on the required carrying capacity;
• a body into which the transported cargo will be loaded directly;
• hitch or drawbar, with which the trailer is connected to the walk-behind tractor;
• driver's seat. The configuration and size are developed taking into account the physique of the owners;
• steering gear;
• chassis.

Thinking over how to make a cart for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands, you should decide on the number of axles. For a two-axle structure, a hydraulic body tipping drive should be provided. For uniaxial enough manual.

If the carrying capacity of the device exceeds 350 kg, it is worth taking care of the braking system. Otherwise, when descending from a hill, the cart may overturn. In order for the body to remain horizontal after disconnecting from the walk-behind tractor, it is worthwhile to provide stops.

Making a homemade trailer for a walk-behind tractor

To make a homemade trailer for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands, you should adhere to a certain sequence of actions. We invite you to get to know her.

For the manufacture of the frame, rolled metal is taken with a suitable shape and cross-sectional size. The works are performed in the following sequence:

Illustration	Procedure
	The rental is cut to size. The number of elements and their parameters depend on the dimensions and carrying capacity of the future body
	The prepared segments are welded together, forming a frame with crossbars. Their spatial position is carefully controlled. Particular attention is paid to the corners at which adjacent elements are located
	The assembled frame is additionally welded around the perimeter, which ensures sufficient strength of the finished structure

Chassis

Assembly work for the manufacture of the chassis of a homemade trailer is performed in the following sequence:

Illustration	Procedure
	When making do-it-yourself axles for a trailer, half-shafts from "Zhiguli" are welded into the pipe. Channels are welded along the edges and in the center of the pipe, to which the frame will be attached
	The frame is welded to the beam. For this, the structure is turned over and a welding seam is formed on the reverse side.
	The structure is turned over. At the points of contact of the frame with the axis, the elements are welded together, having previously installed the corners
	To further strengthen the frame, the cross members are welded. They are located in accordance with the drawing.
	Install the wheels. Check their parallelism. Its structure is welded correctly, the wheels will fit correctly
	The drawbar is welded, if it has not been done earlier

Body, frame lining

Body shaping is performed in the following sequence:

Illustration	Procedure
	Vertical posts are welded to the frame. Their height depends on the volume of the manufactured trailer for the walk-behind tractor. On average, their height is 42 cm
	Vertical posts are interconnected by horizontal elements. The spatial position of each is carefully controlled. If necessary, the seat is welded. The structure is installed assembled
	Additional elements are welded to the frame to fasten the skin. Provides horizontal and vertical details
	The pallet is attached. Sheet metal up to 2 mm thick can be used. First, the pallet is grabbed, and then carefully welded around the entire perimeter
	The sides are installed. For their manufacture, sheet metal or metal profiles are used.
	The tailgate hinges are welded to the frame. The counterpart is welded to the tailgate itself. The element is installed in place
	A structure is welded to fix the tailgate while driving

Do-it-yourself brakes on a trailer to a walk-behind tractor: manufacturing procedure

So that the trailer to the walk-behind tractor does not accidentally roll, you should think in time how to make the brakes. If they are available, the safety of the trailed structure will be significantly increased. To make brakes on a trailer for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands, you need to have a traction, cable and drum available. The work is carried out in the following sequence:

• we attach the drum to the hub of one of the wheels;
• weld a piece of pipe to the brake disc;
• we put the mechanism on the axis;
• on the axle we fix the brake pads with a cable. We stretch the latter to the lever, which we install next to the driver's seat.

Attention! The brake is usually mounted on one wheel. The force it generates is sufficient to stop the trailer.

We offer you to watch a video that tells how to make brakes on a trailer for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands:

Other details

In addition to the listed elements, it is possible to install additional parts that will expand the functionality of the trailer for the walk-behind tractor. When making a trailing device with your own hands, you can provide for the installation:

• folding bench. It is attached to the front side of the body using the side parts as support;
• spare wheel, which may be required when performing work outside the home. Most often, for its placement, a side board or the lower part of the pallet is chosen. To exclude its displacement, special fasteners are used;
• small boxes or special bagslocated near the driver's seat. They are used to store small tools that may be required when performing repair work.

How to make a hitch for a walk-behind tractor trailer: an algorithm of actions and video instructions

Drawbar - a system of welded pipes connected to the side member of the trailer. At the junction, a hitch for the walk-behind tractor is mounted. Its installation should be relatively simple. At the same time, the connection should be strong, reliable, making it possible to ensure easy rotation of the trolley with the walk-behind tractor.

Having studied the photos, videos, having developed drawings with dimensions for making a trailer with your own hands, you can start assembling the structure. The work is carried out in the following sequence:

• at the junction of the drawbar pipes, we weld on a piece of pipe with a diameter of 40 mm and a length of 10 cm;
• we press two bearings into the pipe;
• from the side of the trailer, install a washer on the pipe. It will be used to accommodate the threaded axle from the hitch;
• we form a coupling from a square pipe. For this, a through hole is drilled, the diameter of which is equal to the transverse dimensions of the fixing pin;
• we reinforce the square tube with a sheet of metal. The edges of the pipes are bent.

How to make a two-axle trailer for a walk-behind tractor: video instruction

If you plan to transport a large amount of cargo at a time, you should refuse to use a uniaxial model. She will not be able to withstand the load. In addition, it does not always have sufficient stability when moving over rough terrain. This could cause the structure to topple over. Biaxial devices have a shifted center of gravity.

Attention! Some owners use a ready-made car bridge to make a two-axle model. The design will allow you to transport a large volume of cargo, but it will turn out to be cumbersome.
