A resident of Ternopil, Peter Golovaty assembled a unique tractor-terrain vehicle. Master worked on the machine for three years. After - tests on various types of roads and coatings, reports the Main with reference to the National Industrial Portal.
While I was doing it, my wife often remembered not an evil little word, they say - you disappear all the time in the garage, clothes are dirty, the smell is unpleasant, changed the family for a tractor, and really it was - after work I had supper and went to the garage to work until 12: 00 nights, about, and so, almost every day, - recalls the designer.
For myself, I created a plan and tasks for the main characteristics of the machine and it was still quite complex: all-wheel drive, locking all wheels - this is for maximum traction and patency, complete control (simultaneous rotation of all wheels) - to reduce the turning and turning radius, independent suspension All wheels - for patency and comfort, hydraulic disc brakes of all wheels - for efficient braking, many forward and reverse gears - in order to better use the power of the engine and for fuel economy, the presence of a roof and loading platform - to protect from the weather and small cargo transportation without a trailer, the presence of linkage for agricultural implements - to use the machine as a mini-tractor. The rest of the secondary characteristics did with the thought of their best performance, - said Peter Golovaty.
As for spare parts - almost all of the domestic and Soviet automotive industry is represented in the car.
In the design of the car used spare parts from various equipment:
a two-stroke engine from the FDD (in the people - "Invalid"), bridges from the LUAZ (Volyn) - because they have a locking mechanism, the semiaxis from Zaporozhets, wheel hubs and rotary fists from Tavria, Gearbox from the rear-wheel drive VAZ, reverse gear from the same FDD - gives an opportunity for any of the front gears to get a reverse gear, so it turned out 20 gears forward and 20 backwards. Suspension (spring struts, levers, stretch marks) from Tavria, UAZ caravans, two steering rails from the front-wheel-drive VAZ, silencers from the motorcycle Izh Planeta, wheels from the Niva, and other minor parts, either self-made or from a wide variety Technique, happened under the arm.
In addition to time, the inventor spent $ 2,000 on the production of an all-terrain vehicle. But he received a multi-purpose vehicle for home and leisure.
