Forte ATV for a dacha plot: secrets of choosing

Among garden equipment designed to make the difficult work of dacha owners easier, ATVs are popular. These are devices that can take on the heaviest agricultural tasks. They can operate in conjunction with a large number of mounted attachments. One such unit can replace nearly all garden equipment. But deciding to acquire such a marvel of technology, you will encounter the question of choice - there are many models of Forte ATVs.

Depending on power and weight, all Forte ATVs are divided into three classes:

1. Light class. These are devices with 5.5 hp power and up to 50-70 kg weight. Such units are often classified as cultivators. They are suitable for tilling upper layers of soil on small areas - up to 20-30 acres. Complete tilling of the soil cannot be done by this class of equipment.
2. Medium class. These are devices with power from 4 to 8 hp and weight from 80 to 120 kg. These are true Forte ATVs, compatible with most mounted devices. The large mass allows these units to till difficult soils to a depth of 15 to 20 cm. These devices can till plots of 1 hectare.
3. Heavy class. These devices have power from 6 to 12 hp. Their weight reaches up to 300 kg. They help lay lawns, transport loads, remove snow. If your plot is 1 to 3 hectares, choose a device among these models.

When deciding which unit to choose, consider the type of engine. StroyTek offers devices with gasoline or diesel engines.

Diesel units are more durable and reliable: some units have a service life up to 3000 hours. They stand out for fuel economy and low wear of parts. The drawbacks of these units include significant limitations during "idling" operation. Such engines are characterized by high cost, which affects the price of the unit.

A gasoline engine, at the same power as the first, often has smaller dimensions. Operating it requires no special skills. The downside of such devices is their limited engine hours and productivity, but all this is offset by their lower cost.

The engine can be started manually or with an electric starter. The second type makes it easier to start the device, especially in winter at sub-zero fuel temperatures. However, electric starting requires the presence of a battery, which requires periodic charging.

When choosing an ATV, ask the seller about the basic kit of the selected unit. This will greatly affect its price, and you will be able to correctly choose a reliable helper for work on your dacha plot.
