UAZ 390945 owner reviews
- Vasily, Kursk. I bought a Farmer for a summer residence. I must say right away that his motor is gluttonous and does not run at all. But for country roads, that's it. I rarely ride this, so I'm not afraid of fuel consumption. It turns out about 20 liters per 100 km.
- Anatoly, Taganrog. The all-terrain vehicle proved to be a fine fellow wherever I would not use it. Its main disadvantage is fuel consumption of 22 liters, which is compensated by excellent off-road capabilities.
- Alexander, Rostov. My car consumes an average of about 15 liters. I use the car in the village as it should be. So she is in her element. I do not recommend accelerating on the Farmer, otherwise the consumption will rise to 20 liters or more. So I ride in higher gears and low revs - it turns out so much more economically. In general, this car has completely different advantages - cross-country ability and carrying capacity.
- Kirill, Minsk. The car is worth the money. A real versatile SUV, it has never let me down. I drive along ruts, bumps and fords. For such cross-country ability it is not a shame to give 25 liters of fuel.
- Yaroslav, Tomsk. My all-terrain vehicle requires special attention. I mean gentle handling of the gas pedal and gearbox. Fuel consumption depends on this. For example, when driving uphill for high revs the engine consumes about 20 liters. So in such conditions, it is better to immediately switch to fifth gear.
- Maxim, Donetsk. The car is worth the money, consumes about 19-20 liters in the city, but it helps out everywhere and is very reliable. I operate mainly in winter and in bad weather.
- Oleg, Dnepropetrovsk. I bought a used car, and immediately went off-road to test not cross-country ability, but fuel consumption. With the first, there are no problems, but with the second, it is better to switch to gas immediately. Otherwise you will not stock up on gasoline. In general, I immediately installed HBO and I'm not worried. Now for me 20 liters per 100 km is not a problem. Only in the cabin began to stink of gas, you have to open the vents. In the most economical mode, the car consumes 17 liters.
- Nikita, Tambov. I am very pleased with my Farmer, he saves everywhere. But he is most comfortable off-road. Off-road I overcome effortlessly, in higher gears. Because of this, I manage to spend 15 liters per 100 km.
Ulyanovsk car factory has always been famous for its SUVs, which are distinguished by such features as versatility, simplicity of design, excellent cross-country ability and low cost. This model is the UAZ 39094, aka "Farmer-onboard", which has been in serial production since 1997 to the present day.
Despite the outdated design, it still hasn't lost its uniqueness.
UAZ 39094 "Farmer" is a 4 × 4 off-road utility vehicle designed for transportation of people, equipment and cargo on roads with any type of coverage, as well as off-road. The machine is designed for use in the small business sector and farms, but it is also popular with outdoor enthusiasts.
UAZ 39094 has an elongated all-metal cab with a five-seat layout interior space and an additional door on the passenger side. The Farmer's side platform is metal, with a wooden floor, unloading on three sides and a removable awning. The car looks simple and harmonious, it inspires a sense of reliability. The length of this UAZ is 4847 mm, width - 1974 mm, height - 2355 mm, wheelbase - 2550 mm. In running order, it weighs 1995 kg with a carrying capacity of 1075 kg.
The cargo-and-passenger UAZ 39094 has a spacious and ergonomic cabin for five people. In the passenger compartment there is a small table, a powerful heater, which makes the car even more versatile. Backseat if necessary, it can be folded, transforming it into two berths.
In addition, "Farmer" sports a multifunctional steering column switch, soft seats with head restraints, soft upholstery and backrest angle adjustment, a ventilation hatch in the roof, a container on the hood lid for various small things, as well as good sound insulation of the roof.
The engine on the UAZ 39094 is located under the cab, from which it can be accessed. One of the advantages of this solution is the possibility of repair in any weather conditions. "Farmer" is equipped with a gasoline four-cylinder 16-valve engine ZMZ-4091 with a working volume of 2.7 liters, the output of which is 112 horsepower at 4250 rpm and 198 Nm of maximum torque at 2500 rpm. The engine works in tandem with a 5-speed mechanical box with a single-plate clutch.
The UAZ 39094 is equipped with two fuel tank with a capacity of 56 liters each. The car is designed for gasoline with octane number not lower than 92, and its average fuel consumption in mixed cycle at a speed of 90 km / h is 17 liters per 100 km of run. According to the manufacturer, "Farmer" is able to develop maximum speed 115 km / h, and acceleration from zero to hundred takes 35 seconds. But the last indicator is hard to believe, and no one, most likely, tried to check it.
The main advantage of the UAZ 39094 is good cross-country ability, which is provided by a 2-stage transfer case with disengaged front axle drive, 205 mm ground clearance, small wheelbase and decent exit and entry angles. "Farmer" is able to overcome a ford up to 500 mm in depth, as well as move on difficult terrain.
Suspension is dependent on both front and rear, on semi-elliptical springs with two shock absorbers on each axle. Double-circuit brake system It has hydraulic drive and vacuum amplifier, drum mechanisms are used on all wheels, but disc mechanisms are also available for the front ones.
On russian market UAZ 39094 "Farmer" in 2014 is offered at a price of 490 thousand rubles. For 20,000 rubles, the car can be supplemented with a power steering. It is truly a versatile utility vehicle that can do a lot. That is why the UAZ is still in demand among our compatriots.
Why he
I paid for the next mortgage (for the house) and some money appeared on top, besides, 13-ha got tired - I wanted something new and in connection with the move to the house - something more universal and cargo.
Immediately limited the purchase budget of 400 tr. the house at least requires a global renovation, and my income does not allow me to pay a car loan and invest in a house.
I wanted a universal car - for a family (3 people) to climb in and a useful load for the house (cement, concrete mixer, stone, walk-behind tractor, remove snow, etc.), it is also desirable to have something passable to travel around our Ural beauties, where there are no normal roads - Zyuratkul, Arakul, Yurma, Kialim, etc.
The car is needed as a weekend car (they take me to work), i.e. reliability is not the main thing. Also, from time to time I like to dig in the car, for example, I always made music and Shumka myself, screwing the suspension is not a problem, etc. In addition, I wanted a new car.
In general, very few options were suitable for such requests - my wife insisted on Patra Pickup, I am on the Farmer, they considered the pros and cons:
The farmer is cheaper by 90 tr, which are not on hand.
A full-fledged body (larger in size, a wooden bottom, iron sides and an awning - you can not spare and carry anything and how you want).
Simpler and sturdier design and 200 kg lighter.
Of the Farmer's minuses - an old razdatka (still spur-tooth), a checkpoint (partially synchronized Ulyanovsk 4 st.), Springs in front, old bridges (Timken), no power steering and a much more primitive interior. Patriot is closer to modern jeeps, loaf is purely utilitarian vehicle for heavy road conditions... And outwardly, these machines are from different centuries.
But in the end, my practicality prevailed, it was decided - Farmer.
Came to the nearest official dealer UAZ in our region, where to the question - is there a Farmer, a manager - 4 units are on the way, but leave a deposit, because there are many who wish, 2 are already prepaid and 2 more will disperse in a week.
He left a deposit, immediately refused all the proposed special stages and a week later left the salon in a new 390945 color "white night" (some kind of grayish white not metallic)))
First impressions
What did I buy ?! The doors close terribly (the service did not fix the situation in an hour, so I took it). I found several cracks in the paintwork on the body, some already had rust!
On the move - a cross between a truck and a tractor - the engine growls, the razdatka howls, the gearbox echoes them, the steering wheel is heavy, the suspension is just wooden, there is no clarity of the gearbox, the third one will turn on the hell!
On the highway it is comfortable 70-80, after the noise of the engine starts to tire, after 100 km / h - it is already impossible to speak! Maybe the 5th would correct the situation, but she is not.
Salon - I knew it was Spartan, but so much! About ergonomics ... - it simply does not exist! Here are just some of the points that struck me the most:
The steering wheel is like 50 years ago - big, 3-spoke, so plastic (probably from a smokehouse))))
Of all the adjustments - only the front tilt seats - that's it!
The turn signals do not turn off by themselves.
The light from the near to the far is switched by a pimp under the left foot)))
All pedals are at different heights.
Wipers do not have intermittent operation.
There is no tachometer, but among others there is an oil pressure gauge and voltage in the on-board network!
The stove is something: 2 fan speeds - noisy and very noisy (even louder than the engine at a speed of 100 km / h!), The driver and passenger are directed at the feet along a branch pipe, each of which is blocked by a small damper inside - just separate climate control !))) Under the panel there is a "recirculation" lever that raises the oval flap in front))) When it is really hot - you can open a special hatch from the bottom of the stove and all the heat will go directly under the stove, but how! In general, the stove is terribly primitive, noisy, but warm.
"Torpedo" - just iron, on the side panels the skin of dirty blue dermantine. All the minimal trim of the passenger compartment on uncovered screws.
In fairness, it should be noted that there is a headlight hydrocorrector and a variable brightness of the instrument illumination.
As a person who is familiar with UAZs mainly from reading forums on the UAZbuk and who has traveled a little on Patras, the first thoughts are - what did I buy ?!
The next day, having previously studied the UAZbuku, he drove it into the pit to stretch - in principle, everything important is normally delayed. I adjusted the gearbox drive, screwed everything up - the gears began to turn on more or less, the steering wheel became lighter. The oils in the engine and axles are normal, everything is beautiful - dry and clean. The distributor is sweating - it turned out that the level is higher than necessary (probably, as in the checkpoint), and the lid is not reached - pulled it up. The rest of the fluids are normal.
The design of the door locks, like everything else in this car, is simple - disassembled, missed, adjusted, assembled - it is normal for the UAZ to close steel.
First off-road
Passability for standard rubber (KAMA-219) not bad - it rushes normally on shallow virgin snow, dugs in when turning, but easily jumps out of the swing.
The oak suspension is absolutely unbreakable and, in general, on the off-road, the feeling of a car of strength and indestructibility. On big potholes, it rides resiliently, with some kind of indifference not only to the road, but also to the passengers. Regardless of the quality of the road, nothing strumming or rattling, maybe because of the general background noise, or maybe because there is simply nothing, only the springs in the seats under the riders creak.
Engine
Bad! At the bottom it pulls not very much, but if you do not hesitate to press the trigger and twist - it tears! This is not very good off-road, but on the road the dynamics for such a cart is impressive, it feels like it approaches front-wheel drive vases! And this is on a strangled 409.10 engine, but if you change it to dynamic firmware or at least just to Patriot's one ?!
In general, a motor with a 16-valve plate under the hood, hydraulic lifters and a 17th BOSH hanging on the wall looks like a foreign body in this archaic car.
Front seats
The seats are comfortable and, despite only 1 adjustment (backrest tilt), I quite like the driving position, maybe because my height is the most average (177) and they designed the loaf just for him ?!
The steering wheel is tightly screwed on, but it's nice to grab onto it, throwing the body into the cockpit, and put your hands on it on the road. Front and side visibility is good. Back, despite the large mirrors, so-so, I still can't get used to the dimensions of the body.
Rear seats
On the 2nd row there is the sea, the 3rd big men in winter clothes - easy. The back seat is soft, comfortable enough for short-distance travel. His back rises and is suspended from the ceiling on belts and forms the second reserved seat berth! But how can you sleep on it when the ceiling is 40 cm. ?!
There is a lot of space under the back seat - you can organize a large glove box, or push 2 subwoofers)))
On the run
Despite the archaic suspension, it holds the road normally - at least at speeds up to 100 km / h (I haven't given more yet) the car goes exactly, does not require steering.
Uazovtsy did not become wise with the suspension - bridges with springs on 4 pillows and 4 shock absorbers and no stabilizers, rods, bearings, ball and other silent blocks, only excessively rigid springs. But such a scheme, in addition to simplicity, reliability and maintainability, has a big disadvantage - minimum comfort - the car is tough and rough.
Exploitation
Immediately for running in I put an electronic tachometer - BK-06 (only 550 rubles).
Consumption per 1000 km. according to the checks it was only 12-13 l / 100 km, which I think for an unrolled UAZ, with the front end turned on, very little in winter (although I do not exclude that I miscalculated somewhere).
TRP passed from the 2nd time - rear brakes rolled only after 700 km. mileage.
The engine grasps briskly up to -29 degrees, I have not tried it below.
I took out snow from my father - loaded it above the roof, probably kg. 500 each, while the rear springs sagged quite a bit, but they go noticeably softer, the engine does not feel the load. The body opens in 3 directions - it is convenient to unload.
What is inconvenient - the turning radius is rather big.
There was already an experience of pulling out a Gazelle from a pit - a lowered and front end and a Gazelle on the asphalt!
Rethinking after 1000 km. mileage
The first shock has passed and… I start to like UAZ more and more! With its crude, primitive, oaky but honest and simple construction! Everything is simple, strong and clear.
I'm used to the steering wheel and the checkpoint, to the "ergonomics" too.
The engine growls, but rushing, the razdatka howls, but God bless her. I plan to change the checkpoint to 5 st. (issue price - 28 tr.), after which I hope for a comfortable cruising on the highway - 100-105 km / h
Closer to the summer I plan to complete the Shumkov salon. Maybe I'll find money for good rubber forging.
There are thoughts on modernizing the suspension and much more (the benefit of the material on this all in the network is the sea!).
In general, there are many plans. UAZ - a constructor for adults!
Buyer advice:
From my opus it is clear that the UAZ Farmer (and other loaves) is a specific car and absolutely not suitable as a car for every day for the average citizen.
Preferential loan for
It's hard to say which of the two legendary cars from Ulyanovsk we are more recognizable, and the popular names of both ("Kozel" and "Loaf") have become firmly established in everyday speech. Few will say offhand what an all-metal UAZ-3741 is, but if you say “Loaf”, no further explanations will be required.
It is worth saying "Loaf" - and further explanations are no longer required.
The basis of the requirements for the original: simplicity, maneuverability and maintainability, ensured their popularity in the villages. Here cheapness and cross-country ability meant much more than the lack of elementary comfort in the car, and the possibility of repair in the middle of the field with an elementary set of tools more than compensated frequent breakdowns... The “Loaf” became especially popular as it played many roles in muddy roads: from an ambulance to a light truck. Inconvenience freight operation The car led to the creation on its basis of the "Tadpole" with a two-seater cabin and a closed awning onboard body, which in the countryside occupied the same niche as "" - in the city. Reasonable compromise on quantity passenger seats and the capacity of the cargo platform has become a five-seater "Farmer".
Technical characteristics of UAZ-390945 "Farmer"
The new UAZ "Farmer" according to the scheme traditional for Ulyanovsk "tadpoles" - a cut-off cabin from it was installed on the frame of the "Loaf", adding the missing length with a compact side platform. Like all modern representatives of its family, it is produced with a single engine - the Zavolzhsky gasoline injection engine motor plant ZMZ-4091. This unit, brought to compliance with Euro-4 standards, with a volume of 2.7 liters, produces 112 hp, which gives the "Farmer" quite decent dynamics on the asphalt and at the same time allows in a low gear to confidently rotate the wheels stuck in the mud on the hubs - Considering that the vehicle's curb weight is 1,820 kg, the previously installed engines were not powerful enough.
Electronic fuel injection made it possible to deal with the main drawback of all UAZs - the proverbial gluttony: the Farmer's passport consumption of 12.4 l / 100 km (at 80 km / h), although not comparable with city cars, but for an off-road mini-truck quite normal. At the same time, the engine is quite unpretentious and successfully digests AI-92 commercial gasoline.
The main modernization of the car, caused by the increased engine power, was the installation on the front axle disc brakes - the old drum mechanisms could no longer cope with their task of stopping the UAZ, except for five people in the cabin capable of carrying up to 1075 kg of cargo on a platform covered with an awning. At the same time, this greatly facilitated the service of the "Farmer".
The UAZ-390945 transmission does not need a special introduction: it is a 5-speed manual transmission familiar to all brand lovers (previous modifications of the UAZ-39094 had 4 speeds), locked with a transfer case. Front axle deactivated if necessary by a lever in the passenger compartment.
The technical solutions used in the design of the modernized version are still archaic, but the plant clearly strives to provide the owner with decent comfort and safety. Although the ABS is still only installed on the passenger versions of the Loaf (models 220695-460 and 220695-460-04), the new Farmer is equipped with modern three-point seat belts and power steering.
Technical solutions are still archaic, but with a desire for comfort and safety.
Driver comfort has never been one of the advantages of the Ulyanovsk cabover family. Nevertheless, the cargo-passenger UAZ, although it is still inconvenient with the huge moves of the transmission control levers scattered in the center of the cabin, began to be perceived more pleasantly than the Spartan predecessor UAZ-39094: a more comfortable and compact steering wheel appeared, the seats became softer, and the noise insulation of the lining of the casing that occupies half of the cabin the engine has become noticeably better. Instead of different-sized buttons and toggle switches, the usual paddle shifters appeared. And here dashboard remained the same inconvenient metal structure, and the new speedometer fixed in its center with an additional digital display cannot be called easily readable - although it is now not covered by the driver's right hand, it is still inconvenient to look at it.
Due to the fact that the partition between the rows of seats has been removed from the passenger compartment, access to the battery and the engine compartment on the Farmer has become much easier. For a car that requires frequent maintenance, this is by no means a trifle.
Tuning UAZ
High off-road qualities combined with a low price made products Ulyanovsk plant one of the most popular tuning objects among travel, fishing and hunting enthusiasts. Regardless of whether the work is done by hand, or the owner contacts a specialized company, there are several main areas of improvement:
The owners of such vehicles form close communities where they share their experience and videos of operating the modified UAZ vehicles. These forums can be a great source of information for newcomers to off-road driving and vehicle preparation.
Cars based on UAZ "Farmer"
Special equipment based on "Loafs" of all modifications has been produced for a long time. The lineup "Farmer" is supplemented with the following cars:
