How to Choose a 160-Horsepower Tractor？
Many users do not know how to choose a 160-horsepower tractor. They always like to choose the tractor first and then the implements. This order is completely wrong. If you plow the land to a depth of 40 centimeters, you will not be able to do it if you buy a 1604 with a TD rear axle. Before choosing a tractor, we need to know the matching relationship between the tractor and the plow, for example:
If the plowing depth is less than 30 cm, bring a 35-inch plow
If the plowing depth is 30~35 cm, bring a 35 or 40-inch plow
If the plowing depth is 40 cm, bring a 50-inch plow
The 1604 of the TD rear axle can pull a 430 or 340-inch plow, which means the plowing depth is 28 cm~35 cm
The 604 of the TF rear axle can pull a 350 or 435-inch plow, which means the plowing depth is 30~40 cm
The 1604 of the TC rear axle can pull a 360 or 440-inch plow, which means the plowing depth is 35 cm~greater
Therefore, first determine the plowing depth and the farm implement, and then match the tractor rear axle that can pull it according to the size of the farm implement, which is the most correct order. Now that you know how to choose the rear axle, how do you judge the quality of a tractor?
Many users like to choose tractors based on brands, which is completely incorrect. For example, Lovol 1604 has 7 models. The first-line brand Lovol 1604-5xs1 weighs 5.15 tons without front and rear counterweights, and the second-line brand Wode WF1404-6 weighs 5.46 tons without front and rear counterweights. Moreover, the quality of 1604-5xs1 is far inferior to that of 1404-6. Therefore, it is completely incorrect to judge the quality of a vehicle only by its brand. When the state allows each vehicle to be put on the market for sale, it will require the tractor company to send the tractor to a designated professional testing agency for quality testing. Only when the quality test is qualified will the certificate be issued and the vehicle will be allowed to be sold. After the inspection, each vehicle will be scored for quality. The better the quality, the higher the score. Therefore, this quality score is particularly important!
(Testing process: 2 prototypes will be tested, each for 750 hours of heavy-duty operation, pulling rotary tillers, plows and other agricultural tools for long-term heavy-duty operation, a total of 267 inspection processes)
Manufacturing plants with the ability to make core components themselves have relatively guaranteed product quality. This is an iron rule. You can observe that once the Weifang tractor factory has completed its original accumulation and the enterprise has reached a certain scale, it will try to transform from an assembly plant to a manufacturing plant.
The core components of the tractor: engine, gearbox, front axle, rear axle, cab, hydraulic series, steering system, lifting system. To examine the ability of making the core components of a tractor, you only need to see whether there is the ability to make the "gearbox + rear axle" by yourself, because almost no tractor company will produce the engine, front axle, cab, hydraulic series, steering system, and lifting system by themselves.
Tractor companies with high levels will assemble the "gearbox + rear axle" by themselves, which is the so-called chassis, while those with average levels will purchase a complete "gearbox + rear axle" chassis. If you go to a factory and they say that their chassis is produced by themselves, they actually mean that they buy processed housings, gears, drive shafts, etc., and then assemble them in the factory. Such companies have certain manufacturing capabilities. For factories that make their own chassis, you must first look at them with a high eye, because they can control part of the quality by themselves. If you want to go a step further, you have to see who produces the housings, gears, bearings, and drive shafts they purchase. More sophisticated manufacturers use bearings from large companies such as Havalo and Renben, and gears from companies such as Hangchi. The housing should be thickened and reinforced with ductile iron, etc. You must pay attention to the details, and only good things can be assembled.
Of course, it takes a certain level to look at the chassis, and you need to be very familiar with the parts companies. Ordinary users and dealers do not have that ability.
How can you know whether it is a large chassis or a small chassis?
The most important ability for choosing Foton products is to learn to recognize the chassis. Through the chassis, you can know whether it is a large chassis, a medium chassis or a small chassis, and through the chassis, you can know the basic configuration of the tractor.
How to choose a product that you are satisfied with? It depends on the specific configuration
When we buy, we will definitely encounter the situation of large chassis, medium chassis and small chassis, but this is the user's free choice. However, for the same chassis, we still have a lot of considerations when purchasing. For example, a 904 medium-sized tractor, the same TB chassis, that is, a tractor with a small chassis, we can choose a relatively good product through configuration. Specifically, we need to choose from the engine, front axle, gearbox, steering gear, hoist, transmission, cab, etc. For example, the following configuration is a luxury configuration: Changchai engine, Guhe front axle, homemade gearbox, Yituzhongcheng steering gear, Huanghai transmission, Hongyu hoist, Camel battery.
The above are some methods for choosing a tractor. I hope it can help you.
