To perform the tasks set by the walk-behind tractor, attachments are required. Each manufacturer tries to functionally expand the capabilities of his equipment, so he produces all kinds of diggers, planters, plows and other devices. Now we will consider the CM-0,6 snow blower for the Luch walk-behind tractor, which will help clear the sidewalks and the territory adjacent to the house in winter.
Overview of the snow blower SM-0,6
Attachments are often produced universal and suitable for different brands of walk-behind tractor. The same thing happens with the CM-0,6 snowplow. In addition to the Luch walk-behind tractor, the snow blower will fit the equipment of the Neva, Oka, Salyut, etc. brands.
The cost of the CM-0,6 snowplow is within 15 thousand rubles. The domestic manufacturer gives a two-year warranty on its product. The mass of the snow blower is 50 kg. By design, the SM-0,6 model is a rotary, single-stage type. Snow is taken in and thrown away by an auger, and it is set in motion 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 in one pass is capable of capturing a strip of snow 66 cm wide. 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.
Rules for operating SM-0,6 with a Luch walk-behind tractor
Before starting operation of the SM-0,6 with the Luch walk-behind tractor, you need to master a number of important rules:
- check the reliability of the coupling of equipment with a walk-behind tractor;
- turn the snow blower rotor by hand to check for smooth operation and to make sure there are no staggering blades;
- be sure to close the belt drive with a casing;
- so that the thrown snow does not harm passers-by, make sure that there are no people at a distance of 10 m where the snow removal work will take place;
- Any maintenance or inspection of the snow blower should only be carried out with the engine off.
All these rules are important to ensure your safety and those around you. Now let’s look at what actions you need to perform before starting:
- To start working with a snow blower, it is attached to the bracket of the Luch walk-behind tractor, fixed with a metal pin. Next, unlock the tensioner. Here you need to make sure that the roller and the lever of the tension mechanism are in the lower position.
- First, the first tension of the belt is done. To do this, the weakened pulley is slightly moved up the groove along with the axis.
- After the first tension, you can fix the racks with a protective cover for the belt drive.
- The last tension of the belt is carried out with a lever. It is translated all the way up. After these actions, there should be no slippage of a working snow blower. If such a problem is observed, the stretch will have to be done again.
- Now it remains to start the walk-behind tractor, turn on the gear and start moving.
The main working mechanism of CM-0,6 is the screw. As the shaft rotates, the blades rake in the 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, due to which it is ejected through the outlet.
The snow throw distance depends on the tilt of the canopy, as well as its direction. An important role is played by the speed of the walk-behind tractor. The faster it moves, the faster the screw rotates. Naturally, pushing snow out of the nozzle is stronger.
Service SM-0,6
During snow removal, there are situations that require adjustment of the grip height. For these purposes, there are special skids 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 tightening of all bolted connections of the mechanism is required. This is especially true for rotor knives. Even a small backlash must be eliminated by tightening the bolts, otherwise the mechanism will break during operation.
The rotor drives the chain. Once a season, check its tension. In case of loosening of the chain on the body of the snow blower, tighten the adjusting screw.

The device of any snow plow is simple. If you live in a rural area where winters are quite snowy, this equipment will help you deal with drifts.
