Wheels and bridges for the Neva recreational tractor. Review, description, purpose, reviews
Neva motor-blocks have a wide range of applications. Regardless of what type of attachment they work with, they need wheels to drive them. This is the main working unit. And their choice should be approached with understanding. Let’s understand exactly what types of wheels are available for the Neva tractor.
Set of traction wheels 16×6.50-8
These wheels are installed when pulling with the two-wheeled tractor “Neva”. Their properties are maximally adapted for this.
The tires are made in tubeless version, which eliminates the failure of the wheels due to the fact that the tube is overblown and burst. The working pressure inside is 2 atmospheres. The maximum load per tire should not exceed 280 kgf. The weight of the wheel set does not exceed 13 kg.
The outside diameter of the tire is 16 inches, width – 6.5 inches.
Transport wheels 4.0×8.
These wheels have a smaller diameter and lower tire pressure. Since they are designed primarily for transportation of goods and are mounted on a trailer.
They are only 4 inches wide and 8 inches wide, they are not tall in height, but they are wide. Therefore, they have a large traction surface to the ground. This makes them ideal for hauling loads.
Wheel track extension kit.
Sometimes it’s necessary to lengthen the axle of a tractor or trailer going to the rear to work with attachments or to install wheels (that don’t have bushings). And replacing the axle is a completely tedious and expensive affair. It is much easier to buy special extenders.
They make the distance bigger. This makes it possible to install wider wheels or a trailer.
It comes with two extenders and two stoppers. It’s a simple but effective design.
What third-party wheels are suitable for the Neva two-wheeled tractor?
For installation on the walking tractor “Neva” the best suitable wheels are “Moskvich” and “Zhiguli”. Nothing needs to be changed in them, as their diameter is ideal for installation on the two-wheeled tractor. They need only a minor upgrade by welding.
The factory versions cost much more.
The main challenge when upgrading “Zhiguli” wheels is their weight, since they are very light in the factory.
Listed below are the main steps in the manufacture of wheels for a caterpillar tractor from automobile tires:
- A half axle is installed in the wheels;
- For the convenience of changing wheels, square plates are attached to the half-axle, in which holes are made. Then the wheels of “Zhiguli” are attached to these plates;
- For protection from external influences, a cap is attached to the outside;
- Cameras must be removed and leave only the tires (snow tires should be used to improve the quality of traction).
Using tires from other vehicles is problematic because they have a larger diameter or width, so they have to be adjusted with an axle extender or some other way, which is not always and everywhere possible.
To improve traction, some also equip the wheels with a chain. When driving, the chain digs into the ground and gives extra traction. The effect is especially noticeable when driving after rain or snow.
The video shows how to mount Zigulev wheels on a Neva Walk Behavior tractor:
mass – space.
This is a modification of the wheels. There is no tire or camera here. As they are designed for direct work on the ground. Speed is not important here, but it is important that there is no lack of ground, as conventional wheels often skid and get stuck in the ground.
The floors are a steel disc with special inserts on the outer diameter. They go much deeper into the ground and help with driving. However, they are divided by their purpose.
Kum 680 wheels for milling
From the name it is clear what they are designed for. Their feature is a solid rim and spikes, protruding by 7 cm. In addition, the spikes are not set straight, but at an angle. And when driving, they also overturn the top layer of soil.
- The diameter of the wheel along the spikes is 43 cm and 35 cm in one rim.
- The width of such a ceremonial sapat is 20 cm.
- It is mounted directly on the gearbox shaft without additional connections.
- The total weight of the construction is 16.5 kg.
Universal wheels Kum 540 for the hill
These wheels differ from the 680 models in that their rim is not solid, and has only the sides, hollow inside.
In addition, the spikes are not inclined in one direction, but are V-shaped.
When the wheel moves into the ground, not only the spikes are immersed, but also the rim itself, due to which there is a deeper burial in the ground, and improved traction properties.
- The diameter of the wheel in the outer lugs is 54 cm and for the hoop is 46 cm.
- The width of the Kum 540 is 9 cm.
Extensions must be purchased separately, as the standard form does not provide any fasteners, only connection holes with a standard diameter of 10.5 mm. It leaves a trace with a diameter of 60-65 cm.
The weight of two grains is approximately 13 kg.
Kum 540 universal wheels with a long hub
These are essentially Kum 540 wheels for Hilling, but with a hub already installed.
They are directly connected to the gearbox shaft.
Another difference is the track width. It can vary from 64 to 68 cm.
- The number of tires is 2 pieces.
- Wheel diameter through the spikes / in the hoop – 540/460 mm
- Wheel width through the cleats – 90 mm
- Bushing diameter – 30 mm
- Diameter of fixture in the sleeve – 10,5 mm
- Fitting – on gearbox shaft
- Track – 640 … 680 mm
- Weight of the pair – 13,55 kg
Tiller wheels n for the plough
These wheels have a large diameter and width. They are designed to work on virgin land or a patch of land after winter, when the soil surface is hard and unprepared.
Their width is 20 cm. The diameter of the spikes is 43 cm, and the tire is 35. That is, the height of the spikes is 8 cm.
They are installed on a shaft with a gear or on special extensions.
When mounted directly on the shaft, the track width is fixed at 40 cm. When mounted on extension cords, the width can vary from 65 to 70 cm.
Soil n for plow with long sleeve
This is the same option for plowing, but with bushings already installed. In this case, the track size is fixed at 65 cm.
Mini n for ploughing
These cereals are similar to the KUM model. They are hollow in width.
- The diameter of such a wheel is 32 cm, and the width is 16 cm.
- The weight of a pair of wheels is 8 kg.
These parameters allow successful field research on the Neva Walk Behavior tractor.
Mini Norhboden for soil cultivation
This is a lighter version of the Mini N for plowing. On the Hill, the ground is already prepared and soft. Therefore, there is no need for such massive models.
- The diameter of this wheel is 24 cm through the tires and only 28 cm through the spikes.
- The width of the Hilling Mini Cultivator is 9 cm and the weight is only 4, 85 kg.
In addition, tillers are used not only in summer, but also in winter:
Do-It-Yourself Soils
Many people carefully study the design options of soil tillers to understand and assemble the principle of their work on their own.
On various forums you can find detailed descriptions of how to make a floor for a NEVA walking tractor. Let’s analyze some of them.
Option #1 from old hard drives
The easiest option would be to take ordinary old car windows as the basis. Find an unwanted (but functioning) axle and weld steel panels around the edge. Their size should fit well with the windows, as our primer should be attached to these panels later on. The connection is made with self-tapping screws, and the edges of the panels should not touch.
The main element in the entire structure is the primer panels. The easiest way is to make them from old corners. All that is needed is cut into the right pieces with a milling machine. Then they should be welded every 15 cm along the edge. The video clearly shows how this is done:
Variant No. 2 from a cylinder
Here everything is very simple. You need to find an old gas cylinder and cut out of it a circle about 30 cm in size and 6 cm wide.
And then the principle is the same as in option â„– 1.
Feedback from owners
In these forums you will find discussions on a variety of topics on our topic and advice on the nuances if you choose from other people who have already bought NEVA Walk loss tractor bikes and have experience using them. Here are some of them.

“The floor surface is a basic device for stable operation on the tractor for walking behavior. So I decided not to save money. As you know, a miser pays twice. And I categorically did not want to do that. So I immediately bought a set for plowing and milling. These are two completely different models, and I want to tell you that it is unreal, with earth plowing is also unreal. They are much wider. And vice versa to plow with those, which are also designed for Hilling. They are too thin and will sag quickly. “
Ivan:
“A problem has arisen. My tractor Wal k-in due to heavy and constant rains often began to get bogged down in the mud. And it needs to be worked. So I quickly had to look for a solution to this problem. I did not have the money to buy soil. On the forums I was advised a chain on wheels. As a temporary solution, it worked out fine. Only the chains were often painfully torn. And I realized that I would need to be better prepared for further work. And how to make a groun tton, how to occupy time.”

Primer is used to get extra traction when hauling loads on dirt roads. It should be noted that the use of a power tiller on public roads is prohibited, even if it is equipped with high-quality bikes.
Many owners of small agricultural machines make a power tiller with their own hands. In this case, it is simply necessary to make such a mount as an “iron horse”. If necessary, additional power tillers are installed.
If the tiller will be used only in the field, the rubber tires are not needed. With its own design, the rubber wheels are not taken out, but only the grousers for everyday work.
This design is not a know-how, but is already in demand. Rubber tires were not made beforehand. The bikes in the tractor and touring crowds were metal, and the moderators had cross steel plates on them for better traction.
Design solution when bicycles are available
The easiest and cheapest way is to make a construction on the factory wheel from rubber and make it like regular anti-skid chains.
First you need to take a sheet of metal and cut a strip slightly wider than the rubber profile. Stretch on the wheel can be made by attaching the strip with two bolts and nuts. The edges all around should be bent to avoid side loads.
Then you need to take a thicker steel plate (3-5 millimeters) and cut transverse strips, which are dependent beyond the floor. They are bent in the middle at an angle of 120 degrees. Then the cross bars are welded to the main part at the same distance. On average, such hooks need to be welded, depending on the diameter of the wheel, from 10 to 15. Before starting work, you need to download a drawing on your own or on the Internet.
Such soil hooks for a motocultivator can be made in a few days. If the existing motocultivator consists of ordinary metal and smooth wheels, such a device turns it into a real off-road vehicle.
Creating a simple model with their own hands
Such devices can be bought in the business, as well as by yourself. In addition, you can choose a variant that is ideal for a particular model of the walk.
To make it you will need:
- steel sheet for cutting discs with a diameter of 4 to 6 millimeters;
- Sheet for hooks with a thickness of 7 to 8 millimeters;
- A grinder;
- Professional drills or a drill rig;
- Welding.
From a sheet 4 to 6 millimeters thick, it is necessary to create a circular base of the circle. It is necessary to cut two identical hard discs. In the middle you need to make holes for the hub and assemble on the tunnels. On the outside, cut off the advances with a router. The result is a similar construction of the mummified disc, only the teeth are much smaller (7-9) and their size is larger.
Hooks are cut from a thick sheet of 6-8 millimeters in the form of a trapezoid and triangles with shortened corners. After that, it remains only to place the protrusions perpendicularly, and the design is ready for use.
Although the construction of this type, made at home, does not have an aesthetic appearance, it is not terrible compared to its advantages. It requires little effort and forms a perfect passive on the ground, even with fragmented and loose soil.
Another practically free option is to create a parade pass using an old steel circle 15 centimeters in diameter. If you have access, you can use a helmet to shut off the gas on the highway. On the outside it only holds on the welding hooks, and from the hub will have to adjust to the diameter of the center hole of the handlebars.
Many people are interested in how to put the bikes from the “Lada” on the tractor undercarriage. In principle, there is nothing complicated here. You only need to adjust the hub and so that the wheel fits the diameter of the tractor walker.
From “Lada” you can also use the exercise bike. This is a good version of the cerebellum, made at home. When making the project, you need to use a standard hub from the car and buy four velocipedes: Two to leave with tires, and with two to make the ground for places with poor passage.
You need to take an ordinary square of size 50-60 millimeters and cut it into equal pieces. Their length should be slightly longer than the width of the license plate. Then on one side of the square you need to cut a triangle at an angle of 60 degrees. The place of the triangle is heated and bent at 20-30 degrees. For the hooks to be rigid, it is recommended to weld the place of the bend. Then the resulting structures should be welded from the “Zhiguli” to the disk, observing an equal distance between them.
In addition, the next disc should be edited in the same way. After that, there are no problems when replacing the rubber discs, as they are the same and the hub always fits.
The design can be simplified. In this case, the corners do not have to be welded together. It is enough to make notches in the windows in these places and weld steel plates.
This option is ideal if you have to change bikes all the time, only the windows need to be matched.
What third-party wheels are suitable for the Neva two-wheeled tractor?
For installation on the walking tractor “Neva” the best suitable wheels are “Moskvich” and “Zhiguli”. Nothing needs to be changed in them, as their diameter is ideal for installation on the two-wheeled tractor. They need only a minor upgrade by welding.
The factory versions cost much more.
The main challenge when upgrading “Zhiguli” wheels is their weight, since they are very light in the factory.
Listed below are the main steps in the manufacture of wheels for a caterpillar tractor from automobile tires:
- A half axle is installed in the wheels;
- For the convenience of changing wheels, square plates are attached to the half-axle, in which holes are made. Then the wheels of “Zhiguli” are attached to these plates;
- For protection from external influences, a cap is attached to the outside;
- Cameras must be removed and leave only the tires (snow tires should be used to improve the quality of traction).

To improve traction, some also equip the wheels with a chain. When driving, the chain digs into the ground and gives extra traction. The effect is especially noticeable when driving after rain or snow.
The video shows how “Zhiguli” wheels are mounted on the NEVA hand tractor:
Designs for “advanced” farmers
Simple constructions from “Zhiguli” bicycles can be easily made, but their consumer properties are not ideal. Therefore, independent installation of lugs is required in special cases, which are no worse than the factory models and the tractor with manual control.
You need to make a complex design:
- Steel sheet of 4-5 millimeters for the main circle.
- Steel strip 50 mm, 4-5 millimeters thick for the contact surface. There should be six of them. They strengthen the intervertebral disc and make it heavier.
- Steel sheet 8-10 millimeters thick to make hooks.
- Welding machine (automatic or semi-automatic), drilling machine, grinder, drill stand.
All parts are connected by electric squirrels, as a gas burner can not heat metal of such thickness.
Due to the fact that the diameter of the tunnel is larger than that of conventional hand tractor bicycles, it is necessary to lengthen the axles.
In this case it is advisable to allow the length of such axles to be adapted, because the lines may have different widths in the field. If the wheels with hooks are moved vertically, they can be set at any level, width and position. At the same time, the weight of each wheel is at least 10 kilograms, which provides excellent traction with the floor.
It is necessary to know that such devices are not suitable for plowing or loosening the ground, although a small amount of soil treatment occurs while driving in the field. The soil carried by the tractor while Walking is not suitable for loosening, as an independent fulcrum is needed here.
If the design for the project is not complicated, you can make it more beautiful, with an aesthetic appearance. These bikes can be used on light floors where loosening was prefabricated. They have a small diameter, in the middle are used shaped spokes of profiled steel sheet. Steel for the hooks should be no more than 8 millimeters, and the weight of the wheel – no more than 8 kilograms.
How to choose?
When choosing the right model, first of all, you should pay attention to the brand of the tractor of walking behavior. Variants with a diameter of 43 centimeters are inherent in the installations “NEVA” and “NEVA MB”. The depth of immersion of the spikes in the floor is 15 cm. The depth of immersion into the soil will not be less than 20 cm. The high “bison” products require a 70-cm diameter.
Groundhooks are not only needed for heavy power tillers, your weight will guarantee you stable movement on almost any surface. However, if you decide on the cross-country ability of your heavy model Walk tractor (weighs more than 0.2 tons), choose wide 70 cm diameter tines.
Pay attention to an important point – it is necessary that the surface of this type of attachment is not lacking in the body of the machine.
Choosing the right model of floor surface also depends on the type of soil and the type of exterior of the products. Your surface can be designed in the form of spikes or arrows. Keep in mind that low height spikes are not suitable for wet and loose soil – they are ineffective and easily clogged through the floor. Switch hooks are the most popular and are considered versatile.
When shopping for extras for your unit, consider the same manufacturer’s options.
Pay attention to the cost, which depends on the manufacturer and the change.
Don’t forget that you still need weighted structures for lightweight motlocks, otherwise you’ll have to deal with the device slipping on difficult floors.
Combination hooks.
Such devices are needed not only for power tillers. Many people are also interested in the question of how to create ground for a cultivator with their own hands. For these purposes, for example, it is possible to use combined motoblocks with a tractor profile. To implement such a project, you should prepare the halves from the carriers of these Lada. It is also necessary to prepare tractor tires with a strong profile. Then it is necessary to cut the sides. In doing so, the rubber rice with an excellent profile is preserved.
Such bikes can be used on hard dirt roads, as they do not loosen the ground. They also perform well on soft ground, but the grip on the floor will be much lower than with metal rims.
If you need a wheel option not only for good traction, but also for loosening, you need to make knife tips that don’t go on regular roads, but only for loosening. This is the way the ground is worked.
When cultivating the soil in the spring, the width of the occupied area is doubled with such wheels, which can only be rejoiced, because it saves a lot of time.
It does not matter how and what kind of cleavers are made, the main thing is that they are self-made – elementary, from improvised means, and the budget for their production is ridiculous.
Optimal sizes
It’s no secret that heavy equipment handles the ground better than light equipment. This is evidenced by the fact that people have become interested in the question of how to make spikes for the car with their own hands. Such devices can also work on hard soils, with which a light tractor does not cope so well. For such devices, large eyelets are needed. In general, the parameters of the design depend on the size of the running tractor.
Thus, the following popular hand tractors can be distinguished:
- “Neva”. Walking tractors are widespread and adapt to any conditions. But in the event that the farm already has a tractor “Neva”, which is not considered versatile in its characteristics, you can make soil tillers yourself. It should be remembered that the diameter of the device should not be more than 36 centimeters, and the width – not more than 11.
- MTZ. Despite the fact that such units are Belarusian, due to the highest quality, the price for them is significant. You can focus on the price of 5,000 rubles and above. The bottom line is that the wheels of these tractor models are quite large. It takes a lot of work to make quality studs. It is important that the dimensions are correct, and the triangular plates that engage the floor are carefully welded to the main brand of the web.
- “Greeting.” Such a device is assembled according to the “Neva” scheme.
- “Centaur”. The wheels in such a machine are somewhat similar to the “Neva.” But the first machine has wheels 11 centimeters longer. If the bridge is made for the “Centaur”, its length should be 450 millimeters, and width – 110. It can also fit other Walk behind tractor models, including other manufacturers.
It is also useful to make an extension for the reeds. They are designed to increase the angle of rotation of the structure and the width of the trough and counterweight. To do this, you need to attach a bushing with a slit to the hub. An additional axle is inserted into such a sleeve and secured with a bolt. Finally, you need to attach the floor saw wheel to the axle.
Thus, there are many ways to make floor cutters with their own hands without much labor and emptying the pocket for expensive factory models.
