Manual plow " Vyatka plowman"(Father Gennady's shovel) with his own hands (drawings and diagrams)

The manual plow "Vyatsky Plowman" (shovel of Gennady's father) is a tool for quickly digging up the earth. Increases plowing productivity by 4 times compared to a conventional shovel. Due to the rotary method of work, it does not load the lower back at all. Efforts are applied only to the "rudder".

The shovel of Monk Gennady is adjustable in height, which allows it to perfectly fit the growth of the tiller. Bucket width 30 cm - 1.5 times wider than a normal shovel. Plowing the land is quick and easy! Suitable for virgin lands, dense soil, soddy soil.

Father Gennady's shovel "Vyatsky plowman":
Increases the speed of digging up the ground by about 4 times;
Unlike a conventional shovel, it does not require you to bend over and crouch;
In one step, it pulls out the volume of earth 2 times more than a shovel;
Makes planting of potatoes easy and quick thanks to the side tilting of the soil.

Several years ago, they showed on television how a priest in the Russian provinces deftly dug a site with a strange shovel, at the top of which was ... a bicycle handlebar. This interested me very much (I myself did not see that transmission), and according to my wife, who saw that transmission, I constructed a miracle shovel, which can easily dig up the ground twice as fast and without bending at all, thereby not loading my back.

Materials for the manufacture of the shovel were used by handymen:
1. The steering wheel is from an old bicycle, I put pieces of hose on the handles, so it is more convenient to work

2. Stainless steel pipe with a diameter of 22 mm.

3. A shovel made of cold rolled stainless steel 2 mm thick

4 Pin with spring or steel movable (adjust to the ground).

Abroad, as well as in our country, every year they come up with something new in loosening the soil, so that the microflora is not disturbed, and the microorganisms remain at their level: the lower ones are at the bottom, and the upper ones are at the top, which is very important for future harvests in backyard and summer cottages. plots.

When digging with such a shovel, you get a real pleasure: you want to work and work, and you don't get tired at all. It is very good for the elderly with sciatica and other diseases of the spine.

It is not suitable for digging grass or cereals, because the ground needs to be turned upside down, and it turns the soil only 180 degrees, and with a sharp movement, 100-120 degrees is enough

You can also use material from a miner's shovel. From the height of a person (namely, the lever of the hand), I derived the formula:

Thus, I determined the height of the miracle shovel - from the steering wheel (upper part) to the cutting part (I sharpened the shovel at the bottom).
The steering wheel is aligned in a straight line. The pin enters the pipe and is locked with a 2.11 M8 bolt and serves to turn the miracle shovel.
You need to start digging from right to left or right back
I add drawings for the manufacture of a miracle shovel. I am satisfied with such a tool, I work hunting and not straining too much. I advise everyone to make such a wonderful shovel in order to facilitate their difficult work.

In fact, there are a lot of advantages to the sapper blade. The first basic plus is the ability to dig your car out of almost any mud, snow and ice. Even if you are buried in the sand, trying to flaunt your incredible coolness, rushing along the coastline and catching a dozen or so enthusiastic glances of wheelless, but tanned men and women, alone you will be able to very quickly dig out a track for a safe exit to the asphalt or wooden platform.

In addition, a real sapper-colored shovel gives its owner a sense of peace of mind, and all your road enemies - burning and itching in the Sauron ring area. Just imagine: you calmly ahead of a frozen stream on a dirt side, so as not to produce an already extensive traffic jam, then without unnecessary movements wedge in front of the overpass in the right lane and regularly continue to move in your lane. And then suddenly you are cut off by some impudent guy, who sprayed with a sharp brake to the right of your car, jumps into the stream, almost touching the polished bumper of your "swallow", and violently moves his thin lips, clearly cursing at you.

Of course, any sane person will not tolerate this and decides to teach the road cad a lesson. Moreover, you have a compact but strong sapper shovel in your trunk. So, having chosen the moment when the movement has stopped, you break out of the interior of your car with sharp, sharpened movements, rush headlong to the trunk, grab a shovel, and then, with the speed and fury of a desert eagle, rush directly to the unsuspecting offender. I assure you, having spotted a bold silhouette in the rear-view mirror with a sparkling something in his hand, your opponent, instantly losing his former pride, will hit the gases and try to dissolve in the aisle, just not to taste the sudden gift.

Of course, many will say: “Why do I need a shovel if there are other, more brutal means of self-defense and a preventive attack?”, But I will answer why the sapper shovel is out of competition here. Yes, a baseball bat is a kind of classic of the genre, but baseball as a sport is not developed in our country, so the words "I'm going to workout" will cause poisonous laughter from any law enforcement officer. In addition, today they can pack for a bat, and when they find a shovel in your hands, even if you are holding it right behind the wheel, they will only ask you a well-founded question: “Why?”, And you, without a shadow of a doubt, importantly answer that, they say, I am going to dig a Volga truffle in the morning, sir.

Or maybe they will ask you: “I want this too ... Where did I buy it?”, Then say-tell-show-make friends with a police officer and you will be comrades until the end of time.

The next plus of the sapper shovel is, of course, its compactness. Unlike full-size shovels, the sapper shovel can be easily and naturally placed anywhere in the car: under the rug, in the trunk, in the front seat pocket ... In large SUVs, you can even put it in the glove compartment if you really want to.

But I warn everyone who reads these lines: choosing a scapula is a serious, painstaking and long business. This is akin to searching for enriched uranium in the underground storage facilities of the Middle East Arab states. After all, you can stumble upon a banal Chinese fake. And then a series of pain, suffering and cruel ground disappointments await you. Chinese folding blades look great, but they break for one or two. Suddenly stuck in the plowed black soil, during a summer thunderstorm, replaced by a colorful rainbow, you will break your folding-multitool-blade after just five minutes of digging in the ground. And then what? A long hike in search of a nearby village and a sober hungry tractor driver.

Therefore, we need to look for a strictly authentic sapper shovel, from the Soviet military bins, honestly communed with a mercenary ensign. Come to any covered market and start glaring at the rubble of rusty garden and construction tinsel: there are pipes, anvils and locks by weight, here are sledgehammers and saws ... Here, she is! A good sapper shovel is a matte green metal blade set on a thick, short handle. The kit must be accompanied by a cover made of eternal, non-leaky fabric with a brown leather strap for attaching the blade handle. On the bayonet of the shovel, you can find embossed numbers corresponding to the year of manufacture of the tool. It is advisable to look for your peer among the shovels.

When the choice is made, you will realize one more important plus of this wonderful tool - its price. Two hundred, two hundred and fifty rubles. At most - three hundred rubles, and you become the happy owner of a real friend who will help you out in almost any situation.

The sapper shovel is a unique tool. It can dig the ground, chop wood, frighten enemies ... Yes, you can even fry potatoes on it like in a frying pan! You never know what is needed on the road, the shovel will help, come in handy in difficult times, and after use it will peacefully wait for its next hour.

And now let someone try to say that a sapper shovel is not a car accessory? This is the most important thing in the auto industry after the pump, first aid kit and fire extinguisher.

We forgot about the cons! And there is only one minus for the shoulder blade: it is difficult to find it, but it is easy to lose it in loose earth or melted snow when you, putting it aside, are trying to get out of an awkward situation.

From the editor:

Seriously though, the site does not approve of aggression on the road and roadside travel, and let's hope it's humor. In general, a shovel, engineer or ordinary, is an absolutely necessary thing in the automotive industry, because only it is capable of turning your car from a hatchback into a crossover for 500 rubles. Or a crossover into an SUV. By and large, a driver with a shovel is not afraid of almost any off-road, except for a swamp, if not too lazy to dig. Out of town on an unfamiliar route without a shovel? Yes, you love risk! Well, if it's snowy winter, then the shovel, alas, becomes an indispensable assistant even for city dwellers.

There is a lot of work in the garden and in the garden, but the most exhausting is the digging of the earth, its cultivation and removal of weeds. They begin to dig ahead of time, in small sections, since the load is too large. The miracle of a shovel will help to reduce the complexity several times and at the same time speed up the process at least twice. This relatively inexpensive and uncomplicated tool really works, even on difficult soils.

What is different and what can

To be precise, this is not a shovel, but a ripper, since it not only digs, but also breaks up clods. The miracle shovel consists of two (sometimes one) slats with pins movably connected. Some models also have a backgauge - for easier digging of dense, heavy soil. So it actually looks more like a double pitchfork (see photo below).

Miracle shovel and its components

It is clear from the figure that this tool does not have a shovel as such, but the differences from the classic bayonet shovel do not end there. She also has a handle much higher - it should reach your shoulder. It is also convenient if there is a transverse bar at its top - you can operate with two hands.

The miracle shovel performs three operations at once:

• loosens the soil;
• breaks clods;
• “Extracts” the roots of weeds without tearing or cutting them (in any case, damaging them much less);
• easily digs root crops - you can dig carrots, potatoes, etc.

But its main advantage is that it greatly facilitates digging the earth, and the main load falls not on the back, as when using a conventional bayonet shovel, but on the legs (to drive the working forks into the ground) and on the hands (to turn the forks out of the ground). The back during work is in an upright position and is almost unloaded.

The only minus of this tool is weight. It is indeed much larger than that of a bayonet. But the super shovel can be rearranged, it doesn't need to be lifted. Rather, it is raised only a few times: when it is set on the ground at the beginning of the row. Then, by pulling the handle, it is simply overtightened.

There is another very attractive point in using a miracle shovel - the garden is digging at least twice as fast. This is due to the wider working part - up to 50-60 cm. With little physical activity, this is very good.

How to work

Although this construction is not particularly complicated, working with it has its own peculiarities. Firstly, you need to start from the far edge of the bed, then move backward, gradually dragging the pitchfork back. Well, the general procedure is as follows:

• Grasping the handle, put the miracle shovel, support it on the front ripper.
• Stick a pitchfork into the ground. Drive them so that the backgauge touches the ground. If the ground is hard, compact, extra force may be needed - push your foot against the front forks bar.
• Pull the handle towards you. With this movement, the forks will begin to move up. As they rise, they pass through the forks of the front stop, breaking the lumps.
• Drag the device back a little, repeat all the steps (plug in, press, pull the handle).

It's actually very simple. It is worth trying a couple of times and then everything is repeated "automatically".

Constructions

In addition to the option that is shown above (under the name "Tornado", "Excavator" or "Plowman"), there are several more options for the designs of the miracle shovel under different names.

Soil cultivator without front stop

This design also has working and support forks, but does not have a front stop. Therefore, it is less bulky, weighs a little less. But the front stop offers increased stability when working. And the drag weight is not that important.

The handle is attached to the working forks, the back stop is welded to the comb of the second forks. Both of these structures are movably connected to each other (even door hinges can be used).

Ripper miracle shovel for easy tillage

The photo shows one of the implementations, which is made on the basis of a corner and round pipe... When working, they drive the pins into the ground by pressing on the crossbar, and not on the stop, as in most models.

Digger

The Digger version is essentially a wide forks with a stop for easier turning and a high, powerful handle.

Miracle shovel "Digger"

The peculiarity of this design is the stop and the adjustable handle. It is fixed with two bolts, matched to the height of the working person.

The emphasis is not stationary, but movable. It is fixed to the frame. When the pins are immersed in the ground, they press on it with their foot, then without removing the leg, they turn it out by pressing the handle of the pitchfork from the ground.

Physical activity during work is not high, work is progressing quickly. But this miracle shovel will not work for hard and lumpy soils: it does not crush the soil. She, under her own weight, is pressed through the pitchfork. But this is possible only on loose soils. On clay or black soil, it is better to have a second comb with pins.

How to make a miracle digger, see the next video.

Easycop

This design of the miracle shovel is slightly different from the previous one. The stops in it are rounded, the handle is arched, but the basic structure is the same. Some drawback - there is no way to adjust the handle, but otherwise everything is the same - a movable stop and working forks.

Two options called "Legkokop". The simplest ripper for the garden, garden and cottage

It is difficult to say whether this variation is better or worse. It would be possible to evaluate only by comparing the work of both copies on the same site.

If you watch the next video, you will see that you can dig with such a miracle shovel not only loose soils, but also heavy ones. And the second thing you can pay attention to - after all, for such a soil it is better to have a second comb of pins, against which you can crush the inverted clods.

What and how to make

The designs, as you have seen, are different, but the set of materials will be about the same. Their number differs, but the section and characteristics remain unchanged.

You can use round or profiled pipe, metal rods or "parts" from the forks

Materials for making

They start mainly with making the frame. It is often made from a profiled pipe, the optimal section is 30 * 30 mm or so. In this case, the wall thickness is important - at least 3 mm. Some models used a corner. The shelf width is also about 30 mm, the metal thickness is at least 3 mm.

The handle can be made from the same shaped pipe, you can use round. The wall thickness is also important. In principle, having made a retainer, you can use a wooden shovel holder. Some purchased models provide for the installation of a wooden holder.

The focus should be on the material used for the fork teeth. It should be good structural steel. Forks are made from a bar of at least 8 mm in diameter.

What do their craftsmen make of:

• Cut off from an ordinary pitchfork, welded onto a miracle shovel.
• Straighten the suspension springs.
• Car springs are cut into narrow strips.

If you can find a good bar - round, square or hex - it doesn't matter, it will be much easier for you. Not a bad option, by the way, with a pitchfork. But you have to take good ones, and that is not cheap. And one more thing: calculate the dimensions of the miracle shovel so that the working forks have 8 pins. Then you will need to buy two common pitchfork jokes.

If the design is chosen with two forks - working and persistent, you can put pieces of a suitable length of a metal bar on the persistent ones. The loads are not so high here, so there should be enough strength. The diameter of the bar is 10 mm, you can use ribbed reinforcement, which is used when reinforcing the foundation.

Dimensions

Most of the companies that produce miracle shovels have a range of sizes for this product. Our people are different in build and physical fitness. For men, you can make more massive models, and for women and older people - smaller and lighter. On average, the dimensions are:

All other dimensions are selected depending on the design and the material used.

Detailing stop and stop forks

The most pleasant thing in the dacha and vegetable garden business is, of course, harvesting. The most unpleasant thing is a war on weeds and digging up a plot of land. Help for weed control, come chemicals and the usual hoe. With digging, things are more complicated. Of course, you can borrow a cultivator from a neighbor, or you can make a high-speed shovel yourself, with the help of which the time for digging a garden can be halved.

Necessary materials
- Old bike, or rather the steering wheel from it
- Stainless steel pipe with a diameter of 22 mm
- 2mm thick cold rolled stainless steel shovel
- Movable steel pin or regular spring pin

Having made this shovel, you will forever forget about back pain after such a garden exercise. It should be noted right away that it is not suitable for digging up cereals or grass, since it turns the soil 180 degrees.

If you can't find a cold-rolled steel shovel, you might as well use a mining shovel. The high-speed shovel is made taking into account the height of the person who will directly work with it. In order to facilitate your work, a formula is proposed

Using the formula, you can determine the height of the shovel from the handlebar, which acts as a handle, to the cutting edge, which needs to be sharpened.

We collect a high-speed shovel

For greater clarity, a diagram is provided

The assembly process itself is not complicated. The emphasis should be on several things:

The bicycle handlebar must be aligned in a straight line and pieces of rubber hose should be put on its handles so that your hands do not slip during work;

- insert the pin into the pipe and lock it with a 2.11 M8 bolt. This pin is necessary so that you do not bend over and do not exert tremendous efforts while turning the soil.

Working with a speed shovel is easy and enjoyable. Now with such an assistant, your nightmare will turn into pleasure, and your neighbor will abandon his cultivator and look with envy at your blissful expression on your face. If you have any suggestions for improving this

Who is not familiar with the feeling of disgusting fatigue and discomfort in the back from the autumn or spring plowing of a garden. For centuries, people have been poking around in the ground with a bayonet shovel in their hands - a beautiful and laconic invention, but not so universal that they always grind their beds with a bayonet and a handle.

Gardening tools and other products in this Chinese store.

Characteristics of the manual plow "Vyatsky plowman".

Shovel "Vyatsky plowman" - interesting invention the Orthodox priest Gennady Khlopov, which significantly increases labor productivity and, at the same time, sharply reduces the gardener's chances of bending over from back pain. At the same time, Gennady Khlopov's miracle shovel retains a certain continuity: it looks like bayonet shovel, is also extremely simple in design, and according to the drawings, a Vyatka plowman can make a shovel for home master easier than many other varieties of miracle shovels.

A monk's shovel is used for manual digging of soil, but it can also be used for laying trenches. Unlike the bayonet we are accustomed to, it is asymmetrical, it is difficult to change legs when working with it, but this is hardly a big drawback, you can design an instrument for the left or right working leg.

In the upper part there are two long horizontal handles, reminiscent of a bicycle handlebar, and at the very beginning, when the monk-inventor invented it, this was the handlebar that was used.
The work is based on pressing the working part of the shovel into the ground with your foot and then turning the earth layer with the side share using the upper handles. Maintaining the vertical position of the worker during work reduces the load on the spine.

The shovel "Vyatka plowman" was invented by Georgy Kuptsov, rector of the Vyatka Temple of Martyrs Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov and their mother Sophia in 2006 for the cultivation of virgin forest. Scientist-geodesist Viktor Olegovich Kryuchkov also participated in the design work. The inventors, creating one of the most convenient garden tools, set the task of preserving health when working on virgin land, which they did.

How to make a shovel "Vyatka plowman" yourself?

N.M. Mandrigel from Dneprodzerzhinsk proposes to make Father Gennady's shovel according to the drawing, which is close to the original, and the model made according to this scheme has been tested and has shown itself well.

In the manufacture of the shovel, the following materials are used: a bicycle handlebar, on which you can put hose cuttings for convenience; stainless steel pipe with a diameter of 22 mm; a shovel made of cold-rolled stainless steel 2 mm thick; pin with spring or steel movable (adjust on the ground). The steering wheel is aligned in a straight line. The pin goes into the pipe and is fastened with an M8 bolt and serves to turn the miracle shovel. the formula in the figure is for the height of the shovel from the rudder (top) to the cutting edge.
