Energic Motoculteur 411

Energic motoculteur 411

 

 

 

Engine/Moteur. Single cylinder Patissier engine, 11cv, 700cm3, air cooled, four stroke with enclosed Lateral valves (soupapes latérales).

Lubrication. By constant circulation of oil held within the sump of the engine, 3.5 liters. The circulation pressure being attained from crankcase compression.

Cooling. One large aluminium fan which is mounted at the front of the engine, running on ball bearings. This system draws air into the hood circulating around the engine, ensuring cooling. this system was tested in extreme high temperatures and proved effective.

Starting. By hand crank, either direct on to the motor, or via the multiplicateur. Both located at the front of the engine.

Magneto/Magnéto. Morel CT – 1 or Lavallete, as standard equipment (also Bosch and Novi brands where used between 1945 and the 1960’s to a lesser extent).

Air filter/Cleaner. Metallic element – (dependent upon the element that can be oil surface coated).

Gears. The three speed gear box is built within the engine offering 2 variations either 3 forward and 1 reverse or 6 forward and 3 reverse gears.

Reverse. 3 speeds are available in reverse depending upon the options. The application of reverse gear lifts the plow out of the ground. This is also used for maneuvering the motoculteur.

Clutch. Multiple disc type immersed in oil, within the chassis casing. PTO; front (revolving at the speed of the engine), side and rear (turning between 125 and 1800 rp/m). ( PTO rear and side options).

Speeds.With 1st gear giving 1.81kmph, 2nd – 2.49kmph, 3rd – 3.39kmph, 4th 5.79kmph, 5th 7.74kmph and 6th gear giving 10.45kms per hour. @ 2000 rpm.

 

Exhaust/Silencer. Fitted in a frontal position, away from the driver.

Steering. Independent wheel clutches makes steering very easy. De-clutching one wheel, and using reverse gear allows the motoculteur to be turned in its own width without undue effort.

Wheels. 3 options; Pneumatic Dunlop CR Tyre wheels 750 x 18 for ploughing (labour) and 650 x 16 or T 32 for drilling ( Fraisage), metal paddle wheels and spud/rounded spikes metal wheels. (special smaller Marachère metal wheels of 50 cms could be additionally ordered for the adaption rotivator and 70 cms for ploughing). Blockage independent for each wheel. Wheel width is regular-able between 64 cms and 85 cms in 9 settings. In metal wheels 53 cms to 83 cms.

Carburetor/Carburateur. Zenith 26 TH, standard. (later models sometimes had a Zenith 28 RXZ – first installed in the 511, 411 tracteurs and motoculteurs – as a replacement repair).

 

 

Hitch. Articulated pivoted strengthened bar, Breveté system S.G.D.G. (patented in France and the UK), with universal fitment to all ancillary equipment. Enabling the adjustment of draft and other characteristics required to operate the implements at different depths.

 

Ploughing depth. Up to 12 ins (30,48 cms) dependent upon soil conditions.

Fuel consumption. 1 1/2 to 2 liters of fuel per hour dependent upon working conditions. the tank holds approx. 9 liters.

Weight. 490kgs. Serial numbers from 11 000 to 13 500.

Optional equipment. Energic 411 models; Rotivator/Fraise, High pressure reservoir for the the treatment of fruit trees/pulvérisateur haute pression pour le traitement des arbes fruitiers. Trailer/remorquages.

PTO operating rear of the motoculteur.

 

Energic 411 model adaption options;

Rotivator/Fraise Rotative

 

This adaption can be mounted quickly onto a rear PTO.The dents are 75 cms, with the width of 80 cms.

 

Extra weight was sometimes required in hard/compact soil to enable the rotivator to bite and not bounce on the tougher surfaces.

 

Spraying/Pulvérisation

These high pressure systems where used for spraying vines and fruit trees.

The system on the left hand side (system 102) for clients with fruit trees. A tender of 200 liters, towed, operated from the PTO lateral could operate 2 lances at high pressure.

The system on the right hand side (system 103) for clients with fruit trees and vines, it is very easy to assemleand separate from the motoculteur (10 seconds was the boast from Energic).. The towed unit is the sprayer and is independent when powered up from the motoculteur.

Hay/grass cutter/Fauchage.

This adaption was one previously used on animals (horses, cattle), here just supplying the pulling power with a Energic motoculteur.

 

Towing trailers/Remorquage

 

Energic 409/411 pulling that hay in!

 

 

The following implements where available across the 400 series starting on the 409 of 1946 and used through out the production history;

Cultivateurs/Extirpateur

Bineuse

Buttoir

Specialist lifters and cutters

Ploughs

Hitches/Attachments – sulkys

 

 

Fancy a electric start.

Modified for a electric start. Just reverse the fuel tank then you have space for the battery!

Or original Dynastar set up as per 511 mark 2 modified or not!
