Hi! Long ago I was present at the forum. Produced primitive plow to dig potatoes. In the future I plan to make more complex potato Diggers.

Greetings, Vyacheslav. Your work is so very impressive! I'm envious of your abilities. Where did you learn to do this type of work? Also, your property looks very nice - flat and fertile. How much land do you farm?

Looks like your tractor is holding up and serving you well now after a couple of years.

I've had the good fortune of working with a number of Ukrainian students (I work in a university) and always enjoy them. Mostly from Crimea, especially Simferopol.

Thanks for an informative and interesting thread!

Hi KYKub. I'm unemployed programmer, so there is nothing to do with mechanics. Working with metal, mechanics, I learned myself, this is my hobby. I am not a farmer, I have one hectare of land.

Hi guys. Sometimes there are moments when the four-wheel drive and locking rear differential can not do the job. Thinking hard to also install differential lock on the front axle. Or install a winch.

I would start easy and put the axle of your trailer all the way to the back, so a good portion of the weight rests on the tractor. Right now, you're just pulling dead weight. When you can put it on the tractor, it can help generate traction.

+1, it's true. The more weight you'll have between rear axle of a tractor and an axle of a trailer, the more down pressure you will have on a rear axle of a tractor, what really generates better traction. But be careful not to exceed a distance between both axles, so your tractor's front end won't be lifted up.
