A motor-cultivator has almost all the functions that a walk-behind tractor has. The equipment is capable of cultivating the soil, mowing grass and performing other agricultural work. The main difference between the motor cultivators is the lower power, which limits their use on difficult soils. However, the advantage of the unit is its low weight, maneuverability, and compact dimensions. Now we will consider the popular models of Neva motor-cultivators, as well as the attachments used for them.
Review of models of motor cultivators Neva
Motor-cultivators of the Neva brand have long been in demand among summer residents and greenhouse owners. Reliable technology quickly copes with the tasks and is inexpensive to maintain. Let's look at the popular models of Neva cultivators and their technical characteristics.

Engine oil change frequency
In order for the Neva cultivators to work for a long time without breakdowns, it is necessary to change the oil in the engine on time. Let's take a look at the frequency of the process for different motors:
- If your vehicle is equipped with a Robin Subaru, then the first oil change is performed after a maximum of twenty hours of engine operation. All subsequent replacements take place after 100 working hours. It is important to always check the level before starting work. If it is below the norm, then the oil must be topped up.
- For Honda and Lifan engines, the first oil change occurs similarly after twenty hours of operation. Subsequent replacements are performed every six months. These engines also need to constantly check the oil level before each start.
- The Briggs & Stratton motor is more moody. Here, the first oil change is performed after five hours of operation. The frequency of further replacements is 50 hours. If the technique is used only in the summer, then the oil change is performed before the start of each season. The level is checked before each engine start and additionally after eight working hours.
It is better not to save on oil changes. It is not necessary to hold out end-to-end until the deadline. Changing the oil 1-2 weeks earlier will only benefit the engine.
