Modern representatives with Honda engines are distinguished by their high reliability. They are equipped with an almost eternal worm gearbox. A powerful motor is also capable of pleasing buyers. In its current configurations, the Tarpan cultivator is available with 5.5 and 6 hp engines. With.

Among the main advantages of the unit are:

Another option for attachments is active cutters. They are installed behind the walk-behind tractor. Thereby giving the device additional balance, stability and safety, since it is virtually impossible to be damaged by an active cutter.

During operation, these wings are able to push the soil to the sides - right and left, depending on the progress of movement. The plow cannot be called symmetrical. It is equipped with one blade and moves the soil only to the left or right.
