ELITECH KB 4E

Advantages: high-quality assembly, unit weight

Disadvantages: not enough reverse gear

Comment: The unit was assembled quickly, there were no problems with the connection of parts. The land was cultivated after plowing virgin lands with a tractor (1 pass). The land had not been cultivated for 10 years, but the cultivator passed without problems. The composition of the land is mainly sandstone. In the absence of men, a woman controlled this miracle technique and managed it. As a result, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes and all sorts of small things were planted on the site. I bought it for 16,000 rubles, I do not regret it at all. If there is a need for a cultivator, but there is not enough money for a full-fledged walk-behind tractor, you will definitely have to go to the yard for this model. But do not forget about the weight: 35 kg is still weight, although thanks to this weight he does not jump on the ground, but fully cultivates it. In previous reviews, they wrote about the roots, tk. we have almost virgin soil, then there are more than enough roots, but Elitech KB 4 E, without cutting them, pulled them to the surface. Sometimes they got small stumps from small birches. True, the knives are now probably worth sharpening. We processed 5 acres with two passes with a break in work for 30 minutes, the motor is warm. Thanks to the designers for this model.

Advantages: It does not smoke, does not stink, nothing flows out, does not require any maintenance, does not make much noise, animal power, it is easily disassembled (partially) and in this form it enters the trunk of an ordinary sedan.

Disadvantages: Heavy (it is very difficult for a woman with him), you need to carry a wire with you (however, this is any electric cultivator)

Comment: Expectations justified. It has a maintenance-free chain gearbox and an elementary (and therefore reliable) clutch. It plows virgin soil without any problems (the main thing is to keep it in the process), has a complete RCD (plugged into an outlet). It practically does not get warm even when grinding virgin soil. Digs into the depth of the shovel bayonet. The cutters are quite durable (breaks thick tiles and bricks in the ground without problems). Gasoline cultivators, of course, are more powerful (although not all), but for a summer residence - and this is completely enough.

Advantages: quite powerful (did not even expect). quiet work. weight 32 kg. a big plus. I really liked the cultivator. True, I was with him the first day. before that I had a walk-behind tractor. the cultivator is small areas. here it is preferable. The walk-behind tractor is large areas. on my site it was just super good. Quiet, no smoke, no gasoline or oil. Song and nothing more.

Disadvantages: I chose electric. special. So the only drawbacks are that you need to correct the electrical cable. But friends. this is its specificity, I get used to it. I have not found anything bad anymore.

Comment: Friends, if you have experience with walk-behind tractors. I strongly advise you to buy this electric cultivator, a 2-year warranty. Immediately make sure how profitable it is again, on small plots (summer cottages, personal plots) I have a plot of 17 acres, 8 acres in development. Even took full virgin soil, 2 times in fluff. I'll post a photo after. I'll work for a week.

Advantages: You don't get tired as with a shovel, saves time, the knives are sharp, digs up well, the earth is like fluff after it. Simple structure, easy to adjust.

Disadvantages: In the heat it heats up quickly enough, like any electric motor, but it cools down quickly, and even in the spring, the very thing, digs a lot and without interruption

Comment: I bought a pair of kontitech belts for 100 rubles, in reserve, my dear one quickly stretched out, but we pulled it so that it starts now even without a clutch, while the dear one is standing!)

Advantages: Electric quiet. Doesn't gas like benzo. I dug 5 acres in the country in 2 hours a couple of times. The plot was cultivated, but it captured the side of the road. Digs normally. Good weight 32kg, no jumping. Time is money. It is better to plow with a shovel and tear your back with a cultivator, of course, for a couple of hours.

Disadvantages: I haven't found it yet.

Comment: The weight is good. But in my opinion, for a woman, 32 kg is heavy all the same. Purely male unit. Sometimes it tears so forward that just hold on. Well, difficult places have to be dragged back sometimes to re-walk and this is not a woman's business. It made life easier for me. Recommend.

Advantages: Electric, no need to bother with refueling, not noisy, has a mass of 32 kg, which, during processing, presses it to the soil, which is a plus when processing virgin lands.

Disadvantages: The axles that attach the knives to the silumin shaft, one has already broken at the place where the cotter pin is installed. Replaced with an M8 bolt with a nut. I got excited about the silumin, the axles were steel, but cut off.

Comment: Takes virgin soil, but not in one or two passes, you will have to walk in circles decently. In general, a decent model in terms of the combination of power, weight and price.

Advantages: Powerful enough - 2.7 l / s. The cost is $ 200. Power elements made of metal.

Disadvantages: Not identified yet.

Comment: Use a 2.5 square meter extension cord. mm or more, the current during operation is ~ 10 A. At temperatures above +30 C, monitor the motor heating or work on a timer for 10 - 15 minutes. otherwise, boil the engine. I did not observe overheating in cool weather. Dry virgin soil will not take. If the rains have passed, "gnaws" well.

Advantages: Quiet, no fuel needed, simple.

Disadvantages: You can grow old while plowing ...

Comment: I cultivated in the amount of 4 hundred square meters, the land is steppe, so I passed it twice, in general, half a hundred square meters in 4 hours. Although at such a price ... There is something to compare with, my father has a walk-behind tractor, in my opinion, 5 l / s, gasoline, much faster. Well, in general, he paid for himself in terms of money, did the job, sowed 50% of the lawn, that's the thing for the beds.

Advantages: Plows perfectly, quietly, efficiently in the greenhouse and on the street

Disadvantages: I did not find any flaws.

Comment: I advise.

Advantages: Small. Convenient. Silent.

Disadvantages: Not found

Comment: Great thing. We were very pleased with the purchase. The earth after him is like fluff.
