Why do homemade cross-country vehicles on caterpillars and who makes them?

Many of us like to create something with our own hands. Agree, it's so nice when you see your finished creation, especially with which you had to suffer a lot. Some prefer to make various ornaments, someone is limited to origami. But there are also people who are interested in sophisticated devices, such as cars, tractors and other equipment. And we will now talk with you about who and how to make self-made all-terrain vehicles on caterpillars.

Tasks of technology

Before starting this hard work, people answer this question: "What purpose will this machine have?" They must clearly determine for themselves how many passenger seats will be in the vehicle, at what times of the year, and also under what conditions it will be operated, what the carrying capacity will have and so on.

As you know, in our country there are two global problems - roads and fools. And if the Ministry of Education tries to correct the latter for many years now, the roads still leave much to be desired. Therefore for today the self-made all-terrain vehicle on caterpillars will feel much more confident on our potholes, than usual cars.

After all, it's not a secret for anyone that practically all roads that pass between villages are not equipped with a normal covering. As a result, the movement on them on ordinary transport in the autumn and winter is problematic enough. And to order cross-country vehicles from abroad is rather expensive for money, and not everyone can afford it. Therefore, self-made tracked ATVs are the best solution.

A large number of adherents received a scheme of similar technology in the so-called "self-made". It will be fair to draw your attention to the fact that the all-terrain vehicles built on this principle are much more complicated in their construction than wheeled vehicles. As a consequence, the manufacturing costs will also be high. But as for the operation, in it the technique will be much better than its wheel counterparts.

Creations are unique

To date, homemade cross-country vehicles on caterpillars are available in many parts of our homeland. The paradox is that it is almost impossible to find two absolutely identical units of this technique. This is due to the fact that each owner collects his miracle for a special project. And although the principle of running parts, power packs and other units is very similar among all, the appearance is quite different.

As for spare parts, self-made all-terrain vehicles on caterpillars can be equipped with accessories from any other equipment. For example, caterpillars are often taken from industrial all-terrain vehicles or snowmobiles, such as "Buran" and the like. Although some masters are not afraid to independently manufacture this part for their car. It will be fair to admit that this way is much harder and requires a lot of time.

Size matters

Self-made all-terrain vehicles on caterpillars also differ in size. Someone constructs simply huge machines, but in most cases private individuals prefer so-called "crumbs". After all for many, this technique is needed solely to move around without any problems on bad roads or in extreme cases on rough terrain. Agree, to force swamps and lakes, to overcome hilly terrain, and so forth, not everyone wishes. It is for this reason that a small technique prevails over a large one.

Many of our compatriots, who are ardent hunters, also prefer to have this creation. Although the "Niva" and "Oise" are great for this purpose, even they can not always overcome some types of rough terrain. Anyway, caterpillars always showed much better cross-country ability than wheels. Therefore, some hunters decide to invent such an all-terrain vehicle on their own, but for the most part they just buy them from our Kulibins.

Financial obstacles

Inventors are usually constrained in finance, which greatly limits their desires. Often initially, one version of the machine is designed, after the inventor determines his capabilities (financially), the first option smoothly passes into the second, which is greatly simplified.

For example, when choosing a motor for your all-terrain vehicle, you want to equip it with a powerful copy, but when it comes to business, the principle "use of improvised means" works. In the overwhelming majority at hand are two-stroke or, if very lucky, four-stroke power units from motorcycles. The car engine is much less common. Accordingly, these motors are put.

Progress owes inventors

Whatever it was, but it was the inventors who paved, paved and further paved the way for progress in the automotive industry. Our scientists were able to determine the laws needed to improve the technique. Then the designers should join the case. These specialists embody the ideas of reliability, speed, economy and other criteria in the drawing of real machines. And they should do this in such a way that the release of thousands of episodes could satisfy the needs of more than one million people.

It's not for nothing that one of our domestic veteran motorists said that the car designer is a designer for all designers, since he is obliged to do such things that would satisfy the greatest number of tough demands of the consumer.

Enthusiasm is not always enough

Fortunately, this does not apply to private Kulibin, who make self-made all-terrain vehicles for their needs. In this case, it is enough to make such a machine that it cope with the functions that the inventor himself or the person for whom it is needed is doing. Unfortunately, such people are guided only by enthusiasm and a fanatical desire to create. Therefore, they can not show their potential and zeal in full, primarily because they are significantly limited financially.
