Meccanica Benassi RL2 Petrol Front-Tine Tiller

If you’re maintaining an allotment or large kitchen garden, and have had enough of the effort it takes to do so, this entry-level petrol front-tine cultivator from popular Italian brand, Meccanica Benassi, provides a practical and convenient solution to the problem!

Producing an impressive 2.2hp from a compact 87cc displacement is a Loncin 154F engine; a super-efficient four-stroke air-cooled motor with an OHV configuration that cuts noise, fuel costs and exhaust emissions.

Power from the engine is delivered to the four sharp-tined steel rotors via a high-torque chain-type transmission, which ensure clay-heavy and sunbaked earth can be easily managed.

The action of the rotors propels the machine forward under its own steam, so all you need to worry about is guiding it in the right direction.

A vertically adjustable handlebar confers superior user comfort, and conveniently incorporates the main controls; a forward-mounted transport wheel makes it possible to lift the tines clear of the ground for easy site-to-site movement.

Also featured are plant protection discs for confidence when weeding and aerating between extant crop rows.
