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

 

[Happy in NC]

Welcome to TBN! Looks like you are good!

I doubt many people here read Russian

 

[22R]

Welcome and impressive work. Have you flown the plane?

[Graydin]

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.

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder.

Enjoy the site.

Very cool !

Вы правы. Китайские запчасти стоят недорого.Я также на fermer.ru

Запчасти Yanmar поставляются из Вьетнама в Китай и Россию.

You've got some fabrication skills! Are you going to purchase commercially available wing tips and boots for the aircraft?

 

[MAX-24-Dean]

Ну ты и даёшь мужик. Ты не боишься что тебя как иногента возьмут за жопу потому что ты с американами тут мутишь?

Fear causes more of it! So once you get past that everthing is relatively peaceful!

 

[MAX-24-Dean]

Welcome to the forum Graydin.

Why buy? I have a CNC and I know how to use it. This is for creating a mold. It's not difficult at all to make a fiberglass product using molds.

В чем проблема? Угроза национальной безопасности? Или мне бояться ярлыка "иноагент" Я максимально простой человек. Мне этот ярлык как собаке реклама на боку. Насчет работы - это просто работа. Я реально умею делать много вещей причем своими руками. Работать на банду я не хочу. Может Америка оценит мои усилия и способности....Сейчас не СССР. Железного занавеса нет и мы можем уезжать и приезжать, общаться с кем хотим. Скажу больше, такие как я скорее выдавливаются из страны за нелояльность режиму. Чтобы "воду не мутили".
I ask you to excuse me and my friend for communicating in Russian. We were discussing my presence among you and the possible threat to me from my country because of it.

Thank you for responding in Russian. I really appreciate it. I'm afraid most people won't understand what this is about and will feel uncomfortable. I manage quite well with the translation, I know some things myself because I am studying the English language. Regarding spare parts - almost everything can be found. Many suppliers ignore the import ban and spare parts are appearing on the Russian market. However, the cost of spare parts is enormous and it makes no sense to build equipment with sanctioned parts. Therefore, yes, Chinese parts. However, practice has shown that they work quite well, they are easy to buy and they are so cheap that they are accessible even to a not wealthy equipment owner.

Я бы, как американец на российском тракторном форуме Fermer.ru, больше боялся американского правительства. Модераторы на fermer.ru добрые и отзывчивые.
I would be more afraid as an American on the Russian tractor forum of fermer.ru by the American government. The moderators are kind and helpful on fermer.ru

На других американских тракторных форумах сообщения часто публикуют Вьетнам, Россия и Лаос. Никаких санкций за свободу слова нет.
On the other American tractor forums, Vietnam, Russian, and Laos frequently post messages. There are no sanctions on free speech.

Почти все фермеры хорошие люди, независимо от их родной страны.
Nearly all farmers are good people, regardless of their home country.

Общение с фермерами по всему миру — это большая выгода. Например, я выращиваю красную русскую капусту. Она выдерживает до -10F (-23C). Мне нужно было знать, как в России растения защищают до -22F (-30C).
Communicating with farmers globally is a great benefit. Example, I grow red Russian kale. It is hardy down to -10F (-23C). I needed to know how in Russia the plants are protected to -22F (-30C).
