service
Before the first start or after a long period of downtime, a run must be made, which will extend the life of the engine and allow all the details to be lost. The run-in procedure takes some time and does not require significant effort.
Certain actions should be performed:
- Check for engine oil.
- Run the engine and work at low speed for 30 minutes, including the gears.
- You can use a cultivator at half power for the next 8 hours.
- After completing the run, drain all the engine oil and replace it with a new one.
Such actions will help maintain the power of the engine and large nodes. It must be remembered that the lubricant and gasoline should be operated according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Below is a video review where you can clearly see how easy it is
Since all models are equipped with 4-stroke engines, the appropriate oil should be poured. Much depends on the seasonality of work. Most oils are viscous in structure, so using semi-synthetic oils is not effective in the cold.
Since the cooling system is used on the Viking motblocks, you should monitor its cleanliness. Of particular danger is work on dry soil, since dust penetrates into the case and settles on the nodes and elements of the cultivator.
The main disorders and ways to prevent them
As noted by the numerous Viking motblock owners, the weakest place of the device is a gearbox. Despite the fact that it is reliably protected after a metal fall after wet treatment or washing, moisture in the form of condensate residues, which has a destructive effect on parts.
The next video shows a review of the Viking HB 560 Motor Block:
Do not be upset ahead of time, because manufacturers have provided this option for this option and supply the gearbox with high lubricant, high-quality performers, the number of which is designed for a long period of operation. However, over time, the lubricant is erased, careless handling also makes its own adjustments, so the gearbox becomes unusable. Unfortunately, this part of the mechanism is not repaired and needs to be completely changed.
Important! After all the wander loss work, do not leave the fuel in the tank as after a few days condensate can form in it bringing the entire fuel system into disrepair.
In the event that the engine does not start, it is necessary: check the presence of fuel and extinguish in the spark plug, clean the air filter and fuel tank.
If the engine is very hot, the cause may be a lack of oil, clogging of ventilation, engine or muffler. In this case, cleaning of parts and oil tanks is required.
Taking care of the owners about their technique prevents the occurrence of premature breakdowns.
If it sticks to the following rules, it will increase the lifespan of the trekking tractor:
- When buying a tractor for a walk, ask the seller to check the reducer performance and make sure there is no moisture.
- Provide valve protection.
- It is advisable to store a walk tractor in a dry warm place where prolonged use of technology will not be used.
- Regularly issued air filters that should be clean.

General properties of the VIKING brand
In general, all Viking-Grubber have a rigid steel body that is well centered to move over uneven terrain. Each of them is designed for refueling with petrol of the most ninet y-two brand and consumes one and a half to two liters per working hour. The cultivator is supplied with a smooth tread with 2 cm chamber bikes.
Tax levers are conveniently arranged. It is possible to assemble a third support wheel and a crowd, which means that you can set the exact processing depth. The color scheme in black and green is classic for Viking motorgrubber. Two handles enable the movement track required for work, which can be folded or turned to the side.
All models are characterized by the easy start function that helps to start the cultivator in a few minutes; Tw o-speed gears with or without reverse gear (depending on the model); a separable set of ground milling, through the suspension of which the required plow width is set; Buil t-in antivibration dampers who absorb most mechanical vibrations before they are transferred to the handles; Decompression valve that protects the starter cable from premature fracture; minimal tech. Care that does not require any special skills.
Feedback from owners of Viking motor hoes
The owners of this technique find that it costs a little more than the “weighted average” Chinese cultivator or even a han d-led tractor (for many models). In terms of reliability, however, it exceeds most of its “classmates”. Of course, none of the Viking Grubber is suitable for processing virgin soil or particularly dense soils: each of them is too easy for these purposes. He can only “jump” on the virgin stubble, but not to nag. But the arduous work of the excavation and loosening of the earth in the garden can be safely forgotten with such a helper.
A big plus of all Viking Grubber is their compactness. With a handle handle, it fits easily into the trunk of a car. It is best to load and get out of the trunk together so as not to tear your back, but if nobody comes to help, you can do it “in one person”.
The milling and installation of the milling cutters is very quick and convenient. They are attached with the help of special “fingers” contained in the kit. In addition, you can purchase two 9 kg weights, tunnels and a more frequent for the cultivation.
The cuts of grinding on dense ground dull fairly quickly. It is very convenient to sharpen them without even removing them to make it an ordinary “grinder”. The air filter, which is recommended to be changed according to the experience of the owners, is still responsible for five/six times of use as from the store. The cultivator himself is not very dirty while working, and it is not at all difficult to keep him clean. After work, you can simply wash the water with a stream of water from the garden hose.
In this regard, the alarming signal came from one of the owners. Two seasons later, the following spring, as he began to process the site, he found himself being bothered by the gearing. He turned to the service center-the masters said, disassembling the gearbox, water turned out to be water. Also, apparently, for a long time: all the shafts are rusted and dirty water with butter. The interior of the transmission’s aluminum body is wrapped in a white raid.
It is believed that the transmission of the Viking cultivator is not serviced, high-quality oil is flooded in it, which does not require replacement for the entire life of the equipment. Accordingly, the gearbox does not provide jams to check the level and drain of the oil.
Since the end of the warranty period (1 year), the owner of the cultivator has been offered paid repairs. The instructions say that after using the cultivator with a high pressure sink, you can direct the flow of water not only on the drive shaft and on the seals. The owner didn’t wash the cultivator with a high-pressure sink, but with an ordinary garden spray. Apparently, protection against water is not well thought out, and it is important to take into account not to get into the situation described.
Another Viking cultivator owner said that over time the belt slot appeared during his work, and when the front walk was turned on, the technique began to slip. Here it is necessary to adjust the engine or the displacement of the engine. It’s possible the belt was just stretched. Some owners express dissatisfaction with the fact that the cutting knives of this brand are thinner than many other models of the same technique. Therefore, they can bend complex areas.
Among the advantages of motor breeders, Viking notes: their low noise, modest fuel consumption, significant depth and quality of finish: a very soft land is obtained, where there are no lumps and the rake is not needed; The ability to shift the controls to the right and to the left, so as not to trample the land that has just been plowed. And finally, the design of the Viking motoblocks deserves praise!
