"Plant named after V.A. Degtyarev" - a modern machine-building enterprise

JSC "Plant named after. V.A. Degtyarev" is a machine-building enterprise whose history began back in 1916. Since then, our plant has constantly progressed, improved production lines and expanded the range of products. Today we specialize in the production of motorcycles, agricultural equipment, spare parts for them, as well as a variety of LED products. The company was awarded three times with orders of the Soviet Union and continues to proudly work for the benefit of the Motherland, constantly modernizing and quickly responding to changing market demands.

Model history

The 3-wheeled motorcycle ZiD Farmer (aka ZDK-5.904) has a thirty-year history. It was originally designed for use in rural areas, which is why everything in its parts is adapted for off-road driving. The prototypes for Farmer were the Sova motorcycle and the ZDK-175-4ShP four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle, which were produced at the same Kovrov plant.

In the mid-1990s, based on the Farmer motorcycle, two models were created - the two-wheel rear-wheel drive “ZDK-200 2ShP” and the all-wheel drive Tarzan. Unfortunately, in the 2000s, the production of all of the listed models was suspended by the V.A. Plant. Degtyareva. This has nothing to do with the outdated technical characteristics of the motorcycles - due to financial difficulties, the company abandoned the production of all its original products. Instead, the plant focused on custom motorcycles made from foreign parts. For example, since 2004, the ZiD Lifan has been assembled with a Chinese engine, which, by the way, can also be installed on the Farmer.

Motorcycles, agricultural machinery, spare parts and LED products

Our machine-building enterprise produces the following products:

• motor vehicles - motorcycles, mopeds, all-terrain vehicles, spare parts and accessories, engines;

• agricultural machinery - walk-behind tractors, trailers, cultivators;

• LED lamps and lamps.

The main strategic enterprise of our plant today is the Chinese engineering enterprise "Inchang", located in the city of Chongqing and specializing in the production of cars and motorcycles. Together with them, we are developing the motorcycle direction in our own line of civilian products.

The motorcycles, agricultural equipment, spare parts and LED products we produce meet not only Russian and Belarusian quality standards, but also international ones. Residents of the Republic of Belarus have a unique opportunity to become more familiar with our products at free test drives of equipment, which are held in 8 cities of Belarus.

Flaws

• It is very noisy when driving.
• Weak grip, discs wear out quickly.
• No fuel sensor.
• The rear shock absorber seals wear out quickly.
• It drives great on powdery snow, but struggles on wet snow and starts to slip.
• Original parts for repair are difficult to find (owners go on a real hunt for rare wide tires or traverse assembly).
• They produced tricycles. There are few farmers, so they charge a high price even for junked equipment.

Design

The farmer has a rather rough appearance, it seems outdated (which is understandable, because it was developed in 1993 and the design has never been changed since then). In addition, it is worth considering that the motorcycle was designed for rural areas, so they did not specifically add urban gloss and sporty style to it. The ZiD Farmer tricycle comes off the assembly line in three colors - black, red, yellow. Owners often carry out tuning with their own hands - most often the all-terrain vehicle is painted green (“camouflage”).

• Irbis XR 250. A model that has been proven over the years and has proven itself well on the Russian market.
• Motoland Enduro 250 EX. A good alternative to all of the above options, inexpensive and of good quality.

Device

The frame with seat and fuel tank were taken from the Farmer's ancestor - ZiD Sova. The ZDK-P two-stroke single-cylinder gasoline engine and rear axle completely replicate the ZDK-200 2ShP power system. Cooling occurs by air using a centrifugal fan.

The front and rear suspensions with spring-hydraulic shock absorbers are original (that is, not found in analogues). They were developed at the Degtyarev Plant specifically for wide tricycle wheels.

The Farmer was produced in two versions depending on the engine. ZiD 200 Farmer is a modification with a 196.90 cm³ diesel engine. ZiD 172 Farmer, as the name suggests, is equipped with a 172 cc engine.

The engine responds instantly to the throttle. You can move away even in second gear. In cold weather, the engine also starts perfectly, but it requires warming up for 2-4 minutes.

The installed tubeless wide wheels YA-417 allow you to force quite deep snow and overcome marshy surfaces. The bad thing is that the rear wheels and shock absorbers sit on a splined surface that is only 2 centimeters long. Because of this, when moving, the wheels quickly become loose and break the connection.
