To perform the tasks assigned to the walk-behind tractor, you must have mounted equipment. Each manufacturer tries to functionally expand the capabilities of its equipment, so it produces all kinds of diggers, planters, plows and other devices. Now we will look at the SM-0.6 snow blower for the Luch walk-behind tractor, which will help clean sidewalks and the area adjacent to the house in winter.
Review of snow blower SM-0.6
Attachments are often produced universally and are suitable for different brands of walk-behind tractor. The same thing happens with the SM-0.6 snow blower. In addition to the Luch walk-behind tractor, the snow blower is suitable for equipment from the brands Neva, Oka, Salyut, etc.
The cost of a snow blower CM-0.6 is within 15 thousand rubles. The domestic manufacturer provides a two-year warranty on its product. The weight of the snow blower is 50 kg. By design, the SM-0.6 model is rotary, single-stage. The snow is collected and thrown away by an auger, and it is driven by the engine of the Luch walk-behind tractor.In this case, the unit itself moves at a speed of 2 to 4 km/h. A snow blower is capable of capturing a strip of snow 66 cm wide in one pass. At the same time, the height of the snow cover should not exceed 25 cm. A working snow blower throws snow to the side by 3–5 m.
Operating rules for SM-0.6 with Luch walk-behind tractor
Before you start using the SM-0.6 with the Luch walk-behind tractor, you need to master a number of important rules:
- check the reliability of the equipment’s coupling with the walk-behind tractor;
- turn the snow blower rotor by hand to check for smooth operation and make sure there are no loose blades;
- Be sure to cover the belt drive with a casing;
- to ensure that the thrown snow does not cause harm to passers-by, make sure that there are no people at a distance of 10 m where the snow removal work will take place;
- Perform any maintenance or inspection of the snow blower only with the engine turned off.
All these rules are important to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you. Now let's look at what actions need to be performed before starting:
- To start working with a snow blower, attach it to the bracket of the Luch walk-behind tractor, securing it with a metal pin. Next, unlock the tensioner. Here you need to make sure that the roller and tension mechanism lever are in the down position.
- First, do the first tension of the belt. To do this, move the weakened pulley slightly up the groove along with the axle.
- After the first tension, you can attach the racks with the protective cover of the belt drive.
- The final tension of the belt is done using a lever. It is moved all the way up.After these actions, there should be no slipping of the operating snow blower. If such a problem is observed, the tension will have to be done again.
- Now all you have to do is start the walk-behind tractor, put it in gear and start moving.
The main working mechanism of the SM-0.6 is a screw. As the shaft rotates, the blades scoop up snow and move it toward the center of the snow blower body. In this place there are metal blades opposite the nozzle. They push the snow, causing it to be thrown out through the outlet.
The snow throw distance depends on the tilt of the canopy, as well as its direction. The speed of the walk-behind tractor plays an important role. The faster it moves, the more intense the auger rotates. Naturally, the snow being pushed out of the nozzle is stronger.
Maintenance SM-0.6
When clearing snow, situations arise that require adjustment of the grip height. For these purposes, there are special runners on the sides. They need to immediately adjust the desired height at the initial stage of work.
Before and after work, a mandatory check of the tightness of all bolted connections of the mechanism is required. This is especially true for rotor knives. Even a small play must be eliminated by tightening the bolts, otherwise the mechanism will break during operation.
The rotor is driven by a chain. Once a season you should check its tension. If the chain on the snow blower body becomes loose, tighten the adjusting screw.

The design of any snow blower is simple. If you live in a village where winters are quite snowy, this equipment will help cope with drifts.
