Owner’s Manual

First start

A new Bulat tractor or after a major overhaul should undergo a professional running-in, which allows to extend its service life to a great extent.

Before the first start-up, the following assemblies and mechanisms are checked:

• The presence of lubricant, fuel, coolant, reliability of moving locks and tire pressure are checked.
• Check operability of power selection shaft for 5 minutes at different speeds (low, medium, high).
• Check the hydraulic system by raising and lowering the mechanism one after the other for leaks, blockages or other errors.
• Then for 20 minutes, the same manipulation with the articulated implement corresponds to the plow.
• Next, the minitractor is started with a load and gradually increased in different modes. The operation of the steering system, brakes, clutch and gearbox must be carefully checked. Running-in with load takes 48-50 hours.
• After completion of the current running-in, maintenance is carried out before putting it into operation. For this purpose, oil is changed in the engine crank, air cleaner sump. Check presence of grease in all movable joints.

When the field work is over, conservation is carried out: the tractor is dried, dried out, wiped down and cleaned of fuel, lubricated to prevent corrosion, covered and placed in a dry place.

Reviews of owners

Vladimir:

“The tractor Bulat-12 is an excellent modern equipment. The future is behind such units, everything in it meets today’s requirements – quality, design, performance and price”.

Sergey, Podolsk:

“I recommend the Bulat 354 to those who have an agricultural enterprise or a large plot, a tractor with manual control is no longer enough, and a large tractor is still too much. Works perfectly with any attachments, maneuverable, the technology can be called flawless. I have already had it for 2 years without any major breakdowns.

Victor, Penza:

“I bought the minitractor Bulat-404 with a cab 3 years ago. I work all year long. I like its efficiency, large fuel tank, decent charging capacity, large bikes. Controls are very simple, at first I thought it would take a long time to learn. When adjusting the depth of tillage, I recommend learning the train resistance setting. That way the plowing depth will be what it should be, and it becomes safer for the machinery. “
