What is a swamp? This is a machine that is characterized by a high degree of passability even to those places where there has never been roads. Such cars have earned the greatest popularity in hunters, fishermen and travelers.
Production or purchase?
Many people acquire ready-made swamps due to the fact that they are made independently problematic enough. First, for this you need to have a small car. Secondly, a huge number of knowledge and skills are required. In addition, various goals of the fisherman, a hunter or traveler will demand different characteristics from blanks. It is such an abundance of requirements that moves people to the fact that it is better to make it yourself, even knowing how difficult it is. Of the most important criteria for the assembly of the homemade swamp, the following items can be distinguished:
- good knowledge of auto bed;
- it is important to be able to work with the welding machine, as well as carry out various locksmiths;
- it is also important to understand that the assembly is not only difficult, but also for quite a long time, moreover, it is not possible to assemble the good product from the first time;
- the whole process of assembling a homemade swamp will require significant material investments;
- you also need to know the features of cars working on caterpillars and low-pressure tires so that in the future will not regret the choice.
Start of assembly work
Regardless which type of swamp is selected, the entire design process will be divided into several steps.
- The first and very important stage is a drawing for a homemade swamp. It is strongly recommended to trust this preliminary stage of those who already have such an experience. Any inaccuracy at this stage will lead to the collapse of the whole design in the future.
- Next, the stage is on which you need to choose the frame for the machine. It is important to note here that you need to choose the frame, based on the purposes for which the device will be used in the future. It can be a motorcycle frame, a passenger car or a homemade frame. It can be added that the first two methods are the most commonly used when assembling a homemade swamp.
Manufacturing process
The assembly stage begins with what is taken for making the suspension and the rear axle. These two parts will be connected with each other with the steering sleeve, as well as a special rack. At this stage, it is strongly recommended to use homemade structures. Of course, their manufacture will be long enough, and also requires certain financial costs. But ultimately the design will be obtained, the most comfortable and convenient and convenient for the goals.
Next follows the process of installing the wheels. Those that are attached to the rear bridge use hubs made of metal. Most often at this stage use low pressure tires for homemade swabs. On such wheels, which can be taken from large trucks or their trailers, will significantly increase the controllability of the device and the overall level of human safety. Instead of such tires, caterpillars can use how some masters do. But the process of their attachment is much more complicated and longer, and therefore, with the first self-assembly, it is urgently not recommended.
Engine and final part
The next step will be the installation of the engine. At this stage, it is very important not to forget one nuance - installation of the cooling system for this part. Also, you need to not forget about the installation of a variety of additional systems that answer, for example, for the adhesion, the removal of exhaust gases, etc. In parallel with these works, you need to take care of the installation of the case and wiring.
The final stage is the trial launch and subsequent self-made swamp test. It is very important to notice even the slightest deviations or malfunctions in the device. If those are found, they need to eliminate them at this stage.
Detailed engine description
The engine selection phase is very important, and therefore it requires a more detailed description. It is important to understand that almost any design is suitable as a motor for a homemade swamp, but the power of the device is very important. The most common options that are used during self-assembly are:
- You can use motorcycle engines. However, this option did not deserve great popularity, since in addition to it will have to be installed a more thoughtful cooling system.
- The most preferred engine is the four-stroke ZAZ. It is used more often than others, since he confirmed its reliability during operation even at quite low temperatures.
- It is possible to use other engines from the passenger cars of domestic production if they meet all requirements.
- Some wizards use motoblocks, but this option is not too common. Most often use those elements that are removed from tractors. However, they have to additionally complete other spare parts from other engines.
Tires or caterpillars?
A rather important question is a choice of driving part. Will these caterpillars or low pressure tires? Homemade swamps on tires are more popular due to the fact that they are much faster in the assembly plan, and also require smaller material costs. The process is accelerated due to the fact that all the most complex nodes are removed from the design.
If we talk about the tracked version, then it is, of course, much more difficult in the manufacture. However, the most important plus is also allocated here - this is a huge permeability. For this characteristic, such swamps practically do not know equal. However, it is worth noting that the automotive power unit is used to work such a device, which means that fuel expenses will also be significantly higher, and this increase in financial costs not only at the assembly stage, but also throughout the entire period of operation. The greatest drawback is precisely the use of a tracked mechanism. The fact is that the factory aggregates use almost never possible, and therefore, it is necessary to collect everything by hand, and this process is long, complicated and expensive.
Homemade all-terrain row shock on low-powered tires with a full drive made with their own hands.
This all-terrain route is built for trips on forest off-road and swamps, mainly for fishing trips.
A single-cylinder is set - a single-cylinder, four-stroke zide engine, with a capacity of 4.5 l / s. The engine of Soviet production, got in a new state, so it became based on it.
PPC (shortened) from Muscovite. The engine with the checkpoint is joined through the homemade grip made from the Zaporozhets flywheel, its basket and clutch, the refrigerated coupling guide. The disk had to transfer the slotted part to get dressed on the primary shaft of the Muscovite box. The downgrade is mounted on the engine.
Fraulic type frame (two semirams connected by a fracture knot).
The marshes successfully passed the test and is used for fishing trips. The engine is quite economical, fuel consumption is about 1.5 liters per hour.
The steering is placed on the right, it was done so because the lace, which the engine started out from this side, well, and it makes more conveniently standing on the frame with his right hand. Homemade Caracat is transported on a trailer, a trailer from taiga. The wheels before packaging in the trailer are removed and the cuta of its own move on bare disks is driven into the trailer. You can carry any cabinet, on site is unloaded and collected in a few minutes.
To pump the wheels there is a standard compressor with an engine drive, all-terrain vehicle is loaded with everything necessary and on the road off-road.
There are no mudguards, mud and water splashes, in the worst case, only bogged bogs suffer from dirt. And then only in the forest stirred rings. The speed of movement is small, so there is nothing with the wheels in all directions, well, in the swamps besides grass and water, there is no longer anything, there is no dirt.
The all-terrain vehicle is more designed for thrust, the swamp is fluent in 500 kg (fish, driver, passenger) speed \u200b\u200bof about 8-10 km / h to GPS.
When the swamp is not loaded, then you can go and shunter, empty speed more. And for severe cases, there is still a lower transmission, which makes it possible to upload the device to pull out the UAZ from the dirt, or cross deep ravines. There are no differential locks in both bridges, but there are separate front hydraulic brakes on the front bridge, which makes it possible to slow down the axle wheel, thereby the advanced torque to another wheel. Such brakes are very helpful if the wheel falls into the "window" on the swamp.
That's the way the woven swamp is made with your own hands.
The marsh was created in St. Petersburg. Enthusiasts of hunting and fishing to ensure quite comfortable movement on a poor terrain.
By the way, the main number (more than eighty percent) and are created to go to hunt or fishing. The presented swamp is rather small, but at the same time possessing excellent patency.
When creating this, a fairly interesting way to increase buoyancy and passability was applied. Paired cameras from KAMAZ were installed and the protector was added to the shleiks, made of PVC pipes, similar to a caterpillar. Wheel discs are made, as in most swamps, with the help of cutting discs from the vehigul car under the desired size.
Weighs the baby, the swamp is quite a bit, just about a quarter of a ton, but accelerates it is capable of fifty kilometers per hour. It would seem like a small speed, however, when moving through a wetland, the speed is not the main indicator.
The overwhelming all-terrain vehicle is equipped with a hundred fifty-cubic engine from a scooter, while the fracture assembly was made independently using pipes, parts of the Zhigule steering tower and the sleeve was turned on on the lathe. Everything is connected by high-quality welding.
The gearbox with four steps from the Skoda car, it weighs not more than fifteen kilograms. The engine power is enough to overcome lifts with a steepness of up to fifty degrees in the fourth gear.
The only drawback of homemade, it is a somewhat uneven weaving - the front part is loaded noticeably more than the rear, as a result of this, the front part is immersed in the water of the rear. However, this deficiency is noncritical.
Learn to manage, such a swamp, there is no particular need. Anyone who has driving skills can be drilled by the wheel of all-pass and successfully manage it.
Self-made swamp photo
At the immense expanses of the Russian Federation, such terrain can still be found, where there are no signs of civilization. Movement on ordinary vehicles is impossible, except for cakes.
For most compatriots, the cost of the factory version is not affordable, as well as its further service. So it turns out that the resident of any god of the forgotten settlement is easier to create a swamp from component parts, which are literally lying under their feet.
Features of homemade swamp food
Good luck in creating a self-made vehicle for off-road will be accompanied by minimal technical skills and experience, fantasy flight. In this case, you can count on the fact that the swamps collected with your own hands will turn out nothing worse than its factory fellow. This must be added to the substantial savings of the family budget. Such homemakes like swamps are able to alleviate movement in swampy locations and villages where there are no roads.
All the variety of designs of homemade all-terrain vehicles can be divided into the following types:
- The most accurate is the all-terrain vehicle, which is constructed on the basis of low air pressure tires. Tires are one of the most important components of all-terrain vehicles. High passability and operation quality are directly dependent on the wheel design.
- The manufacture of a saucer type swamp is justified in cases where the shallow water is to overcome.
- Crawler swabs are advisable to exploit in the area with very overgrown reservoirs. On the one hand, it is characterized by high patency, but, on the other hand, the complexity of the assembly process.
The procedure for making a swamp cohower with their own hands
If the farm is granted the old Soviet Motorcycle Izh Planet-4, then it can be disassembled, leaving only the frame. After some improvements, it will serve as a basis for the future swamp.
As for the question of choosing the engine, the savings are inappropriate here. Perfect if you manage to find a new motor from Tula motorcycle, for the following reasons: the presence of a system of forced cooling and optimal use of energy. Due to the fact that the car will have to almost constantly move through the swamps, the failure of the battery can deliver a lot of hassle. Therefore, in the engine, it should be replaced by its "native" ignition on the magneto from the tractor, with which the vehicle's motor is launched.
The frame is consistently made by the installation of a benzobac, the seat and the steering wheel from the motorcycle "Sunrise-2M". The old motorcycle will serve as a donor when it comes to installing the front fork. Any model of a motorcycle is suitable, if only this item is easily disassembered. In most cases, this is the model of the Ural motorcycle.
The gear and chain drive must be coordinated with each other. This must be considered when choosing a chain. The Old Soviet SUV-469 will be useful when the question of installing the rear axle with the semi-axes is faced.
The specifics of the "roadbed" and the conditions of operation are such that without a braking mechanism you can do. The homemade swamps will stop with a small braking path after the engine will be muffled. Special requirements for the front wheels are not presented. An excellent solution will be the installation of wheels taken from the combine. Before this, the top layer will have to be removed from the tires. Self-made marshes are an advanced hobby for those who like to make vehicles with their own hands.
Before installing the rear wheels will have to boost over the tread enhancement. The size of the tire must correspond to the structural features of the homemade swamp. There may be several options, among which the wheels from the "Oka" cars, ZIL-131 or GAZ-66 trucks.
The tire tread pattern should be selected based on their functional purpose and the effect of the tread self-cleaning should be present, which is important for the swamp. The best clutch of the wheel on peatlands can be expected when the tires will have a relatively shallow and low relief of the tread. Otherwise, the upper layer of tires may occur. If the machine will be used on sandy or snow-covered area, it is advisable to pick up the tires, the tread pattern of which is rare.
For the subgone disks under the camera will have to be used by special inserts. In one case, it can be a liner band, and in the other - disks-basin. Fixing disks with cameras are carried out by belts or transport tape.
Self-made all-terrain vehicle swamps on low pressure tires, for trips at a taiga: photo and description of homemade.
It took a swamp for trips to the taiga to hunt and berries. I decided to build an all-terrain vehicle. For the construction, parts from the Motorcycle IL Planet-5 were used, and from the car Toyota Carib.
This is how the building of the swamp began. The frame was cooked from the profile, the engine from the motorcycle, the four-wheel drive (gearbox, bridges from the all-wheel drive car Toyota Carib).
From the Iza engine there is a chain transmission to Toyota PPC Tree.
The steering is also collected from Toyota spare parts.
The swing wheels are made - the camera in the chamber, the cameras are not automotive, they are reinforced with a thread, plus the conveyor belt is installed with a band of 25 cm, during operation pasted once, pinched the tower.

Photo: At the weekend we went to Taiga, and of course without hard workers there either, yes he lives there from us there, he travels only to that, the goal was to throw cargo on the hut and a trip for cranberries.
It turned out a rather simple and practical all-terrain vehicle made by their own hands. The all-terrain vehicle confidently moves through the forest, the swamp, rests on the water. Excellent assistant for hunter and fisherman.
