First Use Rules
Motoblock Cascade MB-6 needs to be run-in immediately after purchasing the product. This procedure is necessary in order to ensure that the internal parts are worn in and adapted to local weather and road conditions. Thanks to this, the machine will last much longer. At the same time, the frequency of unpredictable breakdowns will be significantly reduced, and maintenance will need to be carried out only in accordance with the regulations. So, for proper break-in, it is important to follow the following steps:
- Before starting the procedure, it should be remembered that running in does not provide for the operation of the walk-behind tractor in maximum load mode. Only partial load is allowed - it is believed that this mode is the most favorable for running-in parts
- First of all, we start the engine, let it run for 40-50 minutes at idle. At the moment, it is also necessary to carry out the prevention of the gearbox - turn on each gear in turn, and repeat this for at least 5-10 minutes
- During the break-in, various types of work are allowed, including hilling, cultivation, plowing, transportation of goods, pumping water and other economic tasks. It is important that during the break-in period the load on the walk-behind tractor does not exceed half of the maximum allowable value. For example, when transporting goods, it is allowed to transport up to 250-300 kg with 500-550 kg allowed
- The run-in can be considered completed after 8-10 hours. We drive the equipment into the garage, proceed to maintenance. First of all, you need to pay attention to the condition of the external panels, as well as the lower part of the walk-behind tractor and consumables. If necessary, you can add fuel, change filters, wheels, etc.
- The next day, the walk-behind tractor can be subjected to maximum load
Attachment
The manufacturer did not provide for a single mounted option in the basic configuration of the walk-behind tractor, which can be considered an advantage rather than a disadvantage. After all, in this case, the buyer has the opportunity to choose the right kit himself, and at the same time save on unnecessary options. Let's highlight the most popular options for the Plowman MB-6:
- Potato digger, potato planter - necessary for planting and digging up all types of crops
- Hiller - provides gentle care for crops
- A plow is a tool for the initial processing of an earthen surface. Reinforced transmission together with the plow allow you to cope with even the most difficult virgin soil
- Shovel-dump - a snow-removing module rigidly fixed to a walk-behind tractor
- Hay mower - used for harvesting hay, and also useful for working in the surrounding area
- Water pump - a means of pumping water from reservoirs for irrigating crops
- Trolley, trailer - a means for transporting goods weighing up to 500 kg
- Mower - a device for mowing grass, mowing lawns, etc.
As you can see, the Cascade MB-6 walk-behind tractor is adapted for operation in any climatic zones. This is facilitated by a large range of attachments, making the equipment more versatile and suitable for a wide range of tasks.

Motoblocks Cascade - reliable and productive equipment, greatly facilitating the implementation of the most important seasonal agricultural operations. Produced on the production lines of the Perm JSC "Reductor-PM". The manufacturer brings to the market modern versions of walk-behind tractors with various types of engines.
Characteristics and advantages of Cascade motoblock models
Cascade walk-behind tractors have a wide range of speeds, which differs for various models, ideally suited for working in difficult conditions, which ensures the productive operation of mounted accessories. The manufacturer has provided the option of unlocking the wheels, which occurs in automatic mode. This function allows you to optimize the management of Cascade walk-behind tractors, achieving high efficiency in tillage. Models are comfortable for transportation and storage. All the necessary control options are located on the steering wheel, which is extremely convenient for the operator.
Additional equipment is an indisputable advantage of a walk-behind tractor
Cascade walk-behind tractors have a wide range of equipment that is included in the model kit. There is a wide range of mowers, which are presented in the cutting front, side finger version. Using more powerful devices - mowers "Zarya", it is possible to carry out the operation of cutting the grass and laying it in rows by means of fast-rotating discs.
Motoblocks Cascade are also equipped with special cutters for high-quality deep tillage. Several types of plows and hillers are successfully used to optimize efforts for high-quality crop processing. The set of accessories also includes a device for digging up root crops.
In order to facilitate the use of Cascade walk-behind tractors on soils of various types under any weather conditions, lugs with different diameters and widths are used. The technical means are successfully operated during operations to clean up the territories. In the summer, a special brush is used that works in rotation mode, the winter version involves the use of a shovel that copes with large volumes of snow. Due to the presence of special trailers, the walk-behind tractor is quite suitable for transporting various goods weighing up to 600 kilograms.

Motoblocks of domestic production of the Cascade trademark have earned a good reputation and for at least a decade have been one of the most popular among villagers and summer residents. This recognition did not come by itself. Motoblocks "Cascade" are produced in accordance with the technical requirements and international quality standards "ISO-9002".
They are equipped with a steering wheel, which is adjustable in height and in a horizontal plane, which allows you to adjust to your height, as well as turn it to the side so as not to trample on the cultivated land. The low center of gravity allows you to save energy when working. About other features of the Cascade walk-behind tractor - further.
Motoblocks "Cascade" are produced in the city of Perm. Their manufacturer is OJSC "Reductor-PM" (PM - Perm Motors), which is part of the enterprise "Aviation gearboxes and transmissions - PM".
This plant, which is part of the Russian military-industrial complex, traces its history back to 1951, and specializes in the production and after-sales service of gearboxes and transmissions for domestically produced helicopters.
Pavilion of JSC "Reductor-PM" at the international exhibition of the helicopter industry "HeliRussia".
Motoblocks appeared in the list of the company's products in 1995 and became one of the few specific manifestations of the then fashionable term "conversion" (i.e., the transition of the military industry to the production of purely civilian products).
The main function of the Cascade walk-behind tractor is pre-sowing tillage. Complete with the appropriate mounted implements, the walk-behind tractor is designed for surface plowing, loosening and cultivating the soil; leveling areas intended for sowing. Subsequently, the "Cascade" will be useful for hilling cultivated plants and inter-row cultivation.
In addition, Kaskad walk-behind tractors successfully work with the widest range of additional attachments - various cutters, hillers, walk-behind shovels, diggers, cart trailers. Attachment of attachments to the walk-behind tractor is carried out by means of special "metal fingers" that provide good reliability and sufficient rigidity of the hitch.
The list of drive equipment available for use with the Cascades includes: rotary snow blowers, water pumps, hay mowers, mechanical potato planters, feed mills. In these cases, the supply of useful force is carried out from the power plant. The drive equipment is installed in front of the walk-behind tractor and works by means of an additional belt drive.
Motoblock "Cascade" consists of four main elements: engine, transmission, chassis and controls. The metal tubular frame of the walk-behind tractor with wheels fixed to it can also be attributed to the chassis. An important feature of the "Cascade" is the possibility of changing its gauge, that is, the inter-wheel space, in the process of work.
The wheels on these walk-behind tractors are used both rubber pneumatic and rubber cast, as well as weighted metal. You can use the Cascade walk-behind tractor without wheels - with cultivator cutters. The cultivator for Cascade - KMB 1.002.000 - has a diameter of 350 mm and provides rotary soil cultivation to a depth of 20 cm, with a working width of 45 cm (when installing two milling cutters) and up to 93 cm (when installing four milling cutters).
The function of transferring torque to the wheels from the engine is performed by the transmission of the walk-behind tractor. It consists of a clutch, a gearbox and a chain reducer. These individual transmission elements are installed on the Cascade walk-behind tractors both individually and in a single unit. Other working functions of the walk-behind tractor transmission are assistance in adjusting the speed of work and ensuring its turns while moving along the treated area.
Any of the internal combustion engines on the Cascade motoblocks - gasoline, carburetor, single-cylinder, four-stroke, air-cooled. Ignition - electronic non-contact. Spark plug - type "A11-1 OST 37.003.081-98".
The engine is started by a manual starting device with a lanyard. The noise level at the workplace of the motoblock operator is, according to the manufacturer, 89 dBA. The level of vibration on the controls (local vibration) does not exceed 135 dBA.
Over the years of production, they tried to install on this equipment, similar in technical characteristics, both domestic motors, the own production of the Perm plant, and the Chinese Briggs & Stratton, Honda. (Yes, Briggs & Stratton is an American company, and Honda is Japanese, but they make engines for these brands of walk-behind tractors in China). Gradually, Russian-made motors became a thing of the past, and the "Cascades" of the last years of production are all equipped with Chinese "engines".
Engines "DM-66" and "DM-68" of domestic production are sleeved single-cylinder OHV engines with overhead valves. The built-in automatic decompressor provides low starting effort. The working volume of the engines "DM-66" and "DM-68" is 317 cubic centimeters. These engines run on any gasoline - AI-80, AI-92, AI-95.
The volume of the oil crankcase of the DM-66 and DM-68 engines is 1.4 liters. The orientation of the crankshaft is horizontal. The cylinder diameter is 76 millimeters. The maximum torque is 14.2 N.m. Overall dimensions - 45x41x43 cm. Weight - 28 kg. The average fuel consumption is within two liters per hour.
Briggs & Stratton engines of the INTEK I/C and Vanguard OHV series, also single-cylinder, similar to the DM, have a displacement of 208 cubic centimeters and a rated power of 4.8 kW (6.5 hp). The cylinder diameter is 68 mm. Maximum torque - 12.6 N.m. Overall dimensions - 32x38x35 cm.
It is characteristic that the power indicators, according to the official website of the company, are set “according to Briggs & Stratton”.
Many reasonably consider the best of the Cascade walk-behind tractors to be those equipped with a Honda engine. And in fact, the Honda GX-200 engine is perhaps the most common “engine” in the world of walk-behind tractors - both domestic and Asian; has been produced for decades and has an almost impeccable reputation.
The Honda GX-200 motor has a really high efficiency and slow wear of parts. It also differs in lower fuel consumption - not 2, but 1.7 or even 1.5 liters of gasoline per hour on average. The working volume of the Honda engine is 196 cubic centimeters; maximum power - 6.5 horsepower (at 3600 rpm). Cylinder diameter - 68 mm; maximum torque - 12.4 N.m. Overall dimensions - 32x38x35 cm.
In recent years, the market has been dominated by the Cascade motoblock version, equipped with a cheaper analogue of the Honda GH-200 engine - also a Chinese-made Lifan engine, model Lifan 168F-2.
The clutch of motor blocks "Cascade" is belt. The clutch mechanism functions on the basis of the belt tension of the V-belt transmission. Reducer (two types are used, factory indices "005.45.7700" and "005.45.7530" on this walk-behind tractor - chain type, two-speed
The manufacturer notes that the gearbox on the Cascade motoblock is reinforced, its output shaft is mounted on large diameter bearings. This ensures high resistance of mechanisms to vibrations and shocks.

As standard, the Cascade walk-behind tractors are equipped with pneumatic tires 4.00-10, models TU 38.304-13-13-92; or cast, massive, with channels along the sidewalls, 5.00L-12, model F-232 TU 38.304-13-05-92.
- cutters that allow you to cultivate the land on a strip with a width of 45 to 93 centimeters. If the land does not belong to the category of virgin or especially hard soils, then it makes sense to add two more additional cutters to the two regular cutters, more than doubling the strip of land being cultivated at a time.
- hiller. Very convenient and useful equipment, the value of which will be appreciated by anyone who has tried it in action. It not only destroys weeds in the inter-row space, but also sprinkles soil on the stems and roots of cultivated plants, helping them to develop and grow.
- flat cutter Not only loosens the ground, but also grinds the roots of weeds, reducing labor costs for further weeding the site.
- trolley trailer. Of course, the speed of movement of the walk-behind tractor is very low, but, in any case, it is better to transport sacks of potatoes or other heavy or dirty cargo in a trolley, and not drag it “on your hump”. The same is construction debris, various tools and materials. The trailer is designed for a load of up to 600 kilograms.
- feed mill. Eliminates the need to carry grain to the mill to grind it into crushed grain. It is convenient and reasonable to prepare crushed grain for porridge for pigs and other livestock right in your barnyard.
- mower. Anyone who tried to mow with an ordinary scythe and prepare hay for the winter to feed even just one cow with a calf knows how long and hard work it is. The mower reduces labor costs and time for harvesting hay by several times.
- water pump. If there is a river or other body of water near the garden, then why not extend a hose there and install a pump. Especially if there are interruptions in the water supply in the summer. Motoblock "Cascade" will provide such a strong and steady pressure of water that watering the garden will take very little time. You just need to stock up on a special nozzle-sprinkler on the hose, so as not to erode the earth along with cultivated plants.
- snow blower. Clearing snowdrifts after a heavy snowfall with a shovel is pleasant only for the first 10-15 minutes of this work. With the help of a walk-behind tractor, the process will go disproportionately faster and more efficiently.
- potato planter and digger. The villagers will confirm that if planting potatoes with an ordinary shovel is not the most time-consuming task, then digging out is already hard and hard work. More than half of the labor costs, subject to the use of appropriate equipment, will be transferred to the "metal shoulders" of the walk-behind tractor.
Over the years of production, Reduktor-PM OJSC has brought to the market so many modifications of the Kaskad walk-behind tractor that, at first glance, it seems that there are too many of them and you can get confused in them. However, it is not. In fact, everything is simple. It is only necessary to “read” the letter and number designations in the factory indexes of these walk-behind tractors.
MB6 - a model with a domestic engine ("DM66" or "DM68"). MB61 - a model with a foreign-made engine ("Briggs & Stratton" or "Honda").

If you have a Cascade or Neva walk-behind tractor, then in order for it to work for you at any time of the year, we suggest using attachments. Additional equipment can be used not only for plowing the land, but also in winter for snow removal, in summer for mowing grass, in autumn for harvesting and more. Various towing devices will make it possible to make a universal assistant out of a walk-behind tractor throughout the year.
Mounted equipment Cascade, Neva
Each walk-behind tractor has an output shaft in the rear part, to which various trailed or attachments are attached.
The plow is considered the most important equipment, because it performs the most difficult task - plowing virgin soil. Heavy walk-behind tractors, such as the Neva or Cascade, are especially good at this. Goose paws and cutters cultivate the soil, crush weeds and form a uniform soil. Okuchnik, or as it is also called a tiller, will help make furrows for planting potatoes. The digger will harvest the crop, such as potatoes or other root crops, and the adapter trailer will transport the load to the right place. For better grip on the ground and stability of the walk-behind tractor, use lugs, buy weights. If your area is overgrown with grass, then purchasing a rotary mower will allow you to easily cope with it.
Assortment: Agro, Forza, Celina
All this and other equipment will greatly facilitate the work and save time. Check out the range of attachments for Neva, Cascade, Agro, Tselina motoblocks and easily solve the necessary tasks for you! See a wide range of goods in the catalog of our store.
