Powertrain Engineering: Inside the Kentavr МБ 2017Б-

The Kentavr МБ 2017Б- is built around a high-torque gasoline engine, designed for consistent performance in agricultural environments. A standout feature is the multi-plate wet clutch system. Unlike dry clutch designs, the oil-bath configuration ensures heat dissipation and smooth engagement, which significantly extends the operational lifespan of the drive components when tackling heavy clay or sod-covered ground.

Transmission and Torque Management

The transmission is handled by a heavy-duty gear-driven reduction unit. The use of precisely engineered gears allows for efficient power transfer from the crankshaft to the rotary tiller with minimal energy loss. This robust setup is specifically designed to withstand the shock loads that occur when hitting hidden rocks or dense root structures, ensuring that the internal components remain protected throughout intensive tilling sessions.

Practical Ergonomics for the Field

Engineering the weight distribution was a priority for the Kentavr design team. By shifting the center of gravity forward, the machine naturally bites into the soil, reducing the physical strain on the operator. The adjustable handlebar assembly offers multiple degrees of freedom, allowing for height and lateral adjustments. This enables the user to walk alongside the machine, keeping the soil uncompacted and staying clear of kicked-up debris.

• Oil-bath air filter: Provides superior air cleaning, essential for protecting the engine in dusty, dry harvesting or tilling conditions.
• Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft: Allows for the integration of active attachments such as rotary mowers and active tillers, significantly increasing the machine’s versatility.
• Axle release mechanism: Enhances maneuverability in tight corners, allowing for easier turning with minimal effort.
