Description
The WEIMA WM1000N-6 tiller is a gear-driven walk-behind machine for cultivating, loosening and preparing soil. Its 212cc WM170F-2 petrol engine delivers 7 HP, while the multi-speed transmission provides four forward and two reverse gears. In addition, the vibration-reducing KM handle improves operator comfort during longer working sessions.
This model suits gardens, allotments, small farms and other areas where a basic lightweight cultivator does not provide enough traction or speed control. Moreover, its maximum working width of 1,000 mm allows the machine to cover open ground efficiently.
WEIMA WM1000N-6 tiller engine
The WM170F-2 is a single-cylinder, air-cooled OHV engine. It uses a four-stroke design with separate petrol and engine-oil systems. Therefore, the operator does not need to mix oil with the petrol.
The engine produces 7 HP, or 5.1 kW, at 3,600 rpm. Furthermore, its 212cc displacement and 12 N·m maximum torque provide the power required for soil cultivation through a mechanical transmission.
Engine specifications:
- Engine model: WEIMA WM170F-2
- Engine type: four-stroke petrol
- Cylinder arrangement: single cylinder
- Valve arrangement: OHV
- Cooling system: forced air cooling
- Displacement: 212cc
- Bore and stroke: 70 × 55 mm
- Maximum power: 7 HP / 5.1 kW at 3,600 rpm
- Maximum torque: 12 N·m at 2,800 rpm
- Fuel-tank capacity: 4 litres
- Engine-oil capacity: 0.6 litres
- Starting system: manual recoil
- Emission standard: Euro V
The 4-litre fuel tank provides useful operating capacity between refills. Meanwhile, forced-air cooling directs airflow around the engine during operation. The protective intake and starter-cover arrangement also helps limit the amount of dirt reaching the air-filter area.
Mechanical transmission and gears
A mechanical gear transmission transfers engine power to the working system. Unlike a basic belt-only cultivator, this layout provides defined gear ratios and controlled travel speeds.
The transmission offers:
- Four forward gears
- Two reverse gears
- High and low operating ranges
- Gear-driven power transmission
- 1.6-litre transmission-oil capacity
As a result, the operator can select a lower speed for controlled work in heavier soil or choose a higher gear when working lighter, previously cultivated ground. In addition, the reverse gears make it easier to reposition the machine at the end of a row or in a restricted area.
However, always stop the machine before changing an attachment or clearing accumulated soil. Also, select the gear before placing the working components under load.
Working width and cultivation performance
The machine provides a maximum working width of 1,000 mm, while the working depth starts from 100 mm. Therefore, it can cover larger open areas more efficiently than a narrow garden cultivator.
The actual working depth depends on soil hardness, moisture, blade arrangement, travel speed and operator adjustment. Consequently, compacted or dry ground can require several controlled passes instead of one aggressive pass.
Main machine specifications:
- Machine type: petrol walk-behind tiller
- Drive system: mechanical gear drive
- Maximum working width: 1,000 mm
- Working depth: from 100 mm
- Machine dimensions: 1,600 × 1,000 × 1,050 mm
- Net weight: 75 kg
- Packed dimensions: 940 × 580 × 750 mm
- Packed gross weight: 85 kg
The 75 kg machine weight supports traction and helps the cultivation blades enter the ground. Nevertheless, the selected gear, soil condition and correct operator technique remain important for stable operation.
Vibration-reducing KM handle
The WM1000N-6 uses a KM handle designed to reduce the vibration transferred to the operator. As a result, the operator receives less vibration through the hands and arms while guiding the machine.
The handle also provides a stable control point for steering and repositioning the tiller. Moreover, the combination of the KM handle, reverse gears and high-low transmission ranges gives the operator greater control during repeated passes.
Preparation before first use
Before starting the engine, fill the engine and transmission with the correct oils specified in the operator’s manual. Then check both oil levels on a level surface. Never run the engine without the required oil.
Also complete the following checks:
- Inspect all accessible fasteners
- Check the cultivation blades and guards
- Confirm that the controls move correctly
- Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh petrol
- Check the air filter
- Keep the cooling openings clear
- Inspect the machine for fuel or oil leaks
During operation, keep people and animals away from the working area. Furthermore, stop the engine before cleaning the blades, making adjustments or carrying out maintenance.
After use, remove accumulated soil and inspect the working components. Finally, store the machine in a clean, dry and ventilated location.
