I'm coming to say hello. Greetings from Russia

[Graydin]

Respectfully to all forum members who are passionate about tractor equipment! Hello everyone! I live in Russia, Moscow. Since childhood, I have been fascinated by technology; I love designing and building with my own hands. In my experience, I built a Zodiac 601HD plane in my garage based on the Zenair blueprints. Currently, I am building an interesting tractor for myself and for other people. Tell me, would it be interesting for an ordinary American to ride such a tractor or maybe even park it in a barn? I noticed that in our countries there aren't many truly small but powerful machines. Capable of getting into a house basement or through a garden gate to the backyard... If you would be interested, let me know. I have now started constructing a new machine and can share the progress of the build. What technologies are being used in my country considering the political situation.

Welcome to TBN ! You have some skills there ! Would love to see your projects , pretty sure your ideas would have universal appeal. I use a mini track loader for similar reasons.

 

[Graydin]

This is a tough little guy! I'm planning to build a loader like this

Welcome to TBN! Looks like you are good!

I doubt many people here read Russian

Welcome and impressive work. Have you flown the plane?

I apologize for the accidental Russian post. I used a translator, and there was a mistake. I have 148 hours of flying time on a plane and over 250 hours on a powered paraglider (I stopped counting the hours of joy). Unfortunately, things have gotten crazy in my country, making flying very difficult now.

I have no doubt, hopefully things get settled down before too much longer.

The mini loader is very cool, although I doubt in the US you could buy the materials to build it for less than the Chinese import versions.

 

[Graydin]

My country is under strict sanctions and I have no access to either European or American spare parts. Therefore, I am forced to build it with Chinese components. To be honest, it is very inexpensive. China supplies Russia with cheap components, which allows me to build and sell at a low price. If converted to US dollars, my finished, new tractor could cost around $20,000. And considering that my equipment is very simple, it is cheap to maintain and can even be repaired in the field, I think this is a good option for a not-so-wealthy farmer who needs to work a lot and preferably not with their hands))))

 

[scootr]

You show some nice work. Have you considered a quick attach bucket system like Skid Steer has for your machine? This increases versatility making the machine a multi tasking tool.

 

[Graydin]

Yes. I assume more than 10 different interchangeable tools. These are a bucket, a blade, a jaw bucket, a drill, a concrete mixer, a sweeping brush, a water brush to prevent dust, an excavator attachment, ground leveling, a root picker (an attachment for digging out roots or other debris from the ground), pallet forks, and clamp forks (to grip the load and transport it over uneven terrain). I'm not sure if the translator will translate everything correctly; if something is unclear, please ask, and I will provide a description. In the photo - a snow plow. As you can see, it has a rotating mechanism and a shock absorption system. I try to keep everything simple so that the owner can repair it themselves in case of damage without spending money on dealer repairs.
