Here is some internal information about Motor1 to start this article. Before publishing a new article, we must choose at least one category that best suits the topic at hand. You can see these categories (such as supercars or races and chases) in the upper left corner of the story thumbnails on our homepage or at the top of the article. We also have a category called Strange, and to be honest, we should rename it to Garage 54 at this time.

We are not sure if this latest Garage 54 project is the strangest project we have ever seen, but whenever you see the words garden tiller and lada in the same sentence, you will know something crazy coming soon. No, the crazy mechanical scientist did not turn the helpless Lada into some kind of strange garden tractor. Worse than this, because their idea of ​​a homemade tiller involves connecting Lada's exposed power system to a small trailer through a temporary universal joint. If we have any readers working in the field of safety regulations, it is best to look away.

For the rest of us, please admire the 80-horsepower Lada engine and the gearbox on the temporary frame, turning a pair of aggressive mud tires. Like any ordinary hand-held tiller, it is controlled by a set of handles, but come on... Do you really think that Garage 54 will walk behind the tiller? Instead, a small two-axle trailer is connected to the driving part through a U-shaped joint, allowing the current four-wheel tiller to turn in the middle. This is also where the driver’s seat is installed. If you are skeptical about whether this thing works, the first test will see it run 10 feet before it breaks.

If you have watched the previous Garage 54 video, you will know that they will not accept failure. A new and improved U-shaped joint was installed, and the entire device was towed to a remote place for testing. do you know? The damn thing did work. In any case-turning is a bit difficult, even at low speeds, the driver will be bumped a lot. In addition, the rotating rudder blade has not yet been installed. This is just a proof of concept exercise, unfortunately, it proved to be successful.

This means that we are waiting for the second video, and God will, they will actually try to cultivate some land with this Frankenstein tiller driven by Lada. Let us hope that the next experiment will not see the blades rotating at the speed of sound.
