Motor-cultivator Neva MK 200 power. Attachments for the Neva motor cultivator. Engine oil change frequency

Good day to all.
Became the owner of an MK-200 with a 6 liter Subaru EX17 engine. With.
I will try to write about exploitation, joys and sorrows here
I chose between the Pubert Vario 55TWK+ with the B&S 5.5 liter engine. s., but since this device was bought half a day before my arrival, I essentially had no choice and I already went for my Neva with a light heart.
It cost me 29,500 rubles. The set included 6 cutters. The situation, by the way, is quite strange. The chain of stores has this cultivator in different departments, but for some reason there are 4 cutters in some places, and 6 in others. The price tag and everything else are the same! Even if I don’t really need these cutters, it’s logical to go to a place where the equipment includes 6... I looked at the prices on the Internet for additional cutters - 2500-3000 rubles. How so?...
First impressions are very positive. Somehow it looks much more thoughtful and better than its brother MK100, in which on the very first day of assembly all the paint came off from the gearbox, there was no key on the shaft (the pulley did not rotate), everything was not adjusted. Here I collected everything, installed everything and voila. The engine didn’t even pause, it started working right away, putting out a little haze. The speeds all seem to switch on clearly, the clutch is adjusted normally. What makes me happy)
From the MK100, which in the end broke very quickly (as it turned out, a common problem is a weak chain lock, and as a result - a broken chain) and I got my money back for it, all that was left was the attachment. I tried on the lugs for hilling, everything fit (by the way, I was pleasantly surprised by several holes on the output shafts of the gearbox for securing the lugs/wheels/mills), the track turns out to be 44 cm. I think we will plant potatoes with an interval between rows of about 80 cm (here, by the way, the advice of experienced , am I thinking correctly).
The engine is good, the serial number is listed on the website - made in Japan. EX series - you know it yourself) So, the engine is probably the last thing that could cause problems in this device.

In general, there are great hopes that this MK is more thoughtful and better than the MK100 and will serve me faithfully. The impressions from a simple inspection, assembly and start of the engine are very different! I had a great desire to return the MK100 back to the store... Also (a small thing, but nice) the MK200 has a convenient transport wheel with a spring lock, which can easily be moved to one of three positions, a pair of hatches in a metal casing, for viewing the condition and can even belt adjustments, and the coupling device looks much more powerful and convenient (well, and a depth limiter to the heap).
MK 200 is like a big toy) I want to explore the expanses of the dacha as soon as possible)
You also need to buy a hitch/adapter to attach a hiller, digger, plow)
Well, that seems to be all for now. We are looking forward to the opening of the season!
