KEY PLUS FACTORS OF GRILLO WALKING TRACTORS

Versatility:
Grillo walking tractors come complete with a number of accessories: 80 to 115 cm mower bars, 50 to 80 cm snow-throwers, rotary sweepers, rotary cutters, all-purpose flails, mowers, towed and driving-wheel trailers, ploughs and furrowers, biological grinding mills, etc.. Almost all these applications can be used with Grillo walking tractors; this brings a better return on the investment, saves space when machines are put in store and above all, only one machine has to be serviced and kept in good working order.

They are gear-only:
Grillo walking tractors are designed with all transmissions using precision gears and hardened steel shafts mounted on ball bearings. This type of transmission can draw on more than forty years' experience, which is the best guarantee of reliability, designed to offer years of trouble free operation.

Adjustable, ergonomic handlebar:
all Grillo walking tractors have various kinds of handlebar adjustment. The quick adjustment device gives more effective leverage at the end of the row, during transport or during servicing. The revolving handlebars with height and width adjustment allow the operator to drive the machine from the right or left when tilling, mowing a lawn or using the snow thrower. For example, the brake and clutch wires Grillo uses are twice the usual size.

Balance:
all Grillo walking tractors are designed with a low centre of gravity because the engine is in line with the transmission. On other machines (e.g. those with belt drives) the engine is higher up, making them less stable. All Grillo walking tractors are designed so that the machines weight is over the tiller. This means the operator does not have to press down on the handlebar so hard to keep the tiller in the ground.

Quicker tiller rotation:
the Grillo tiller tines turn 20 times for each revolution of the wheel. This allows the tines to chop the soil and vegetation into small pieces, producing an ideal growth medium for plants.

Perfect tilling:
Grillo tillers break up the soil even underneath the transmission unit thanks to the adjustable depth stake. Cheaper tillers leave an untilled strip 5-8 cm wide. What's more, the adjustable-width steel tiller casing, with specially-shaped side guards which do not act as a brake on the machine's progress (fully compliant with EC standards) retains the soil inside it without clogging, tilling it more finely.

The 6-tine tiller (a Grillo exclusive) is also available in a choice of models. It tills the ground much more finely and provides excellent results on very hard and medium-consistency soils (not recommended on wet clay soils).

The depth stake "foot", easily adjustable from the outside for trouble free regulation even when at work, giving exactly the right setting for uniform tilling, means no wasted effort and no need for spanners.

Independent PTO and wheel drive:
all Grillo walking tractors have PTO engagement independent of the wheel drive. This allows the operator to disengage the PTO while the wheels are in motion, for safer transport.

Reverse gear PTO cut-out:
all Grillo walking tractors are fitted with a mechanical device, which automatically cuts out the PTO when the machine switches to reverse gear. The operator cannot engage reverse gear while the tiller tines are moving. This provides the operator with maximum protection.

Instantaneous change to reverse gear:
the reverser unit allows switch passage to reverse gear from any speed - except the transfer speed (quick control on handlebar in model G107). This is a great help, especially when using accessories such as the mower bar, the rotary cutter or a snow thrower. It also makes the machine easier to handle even with the tiller and other accessories.

Differential and brakes:
all Grillo professional-class walking tractors can be fitted with differential -easily locked when not required, such as for tilling- and independent left-hand and right-hand brakes for easier turning and manoeuvring.

Clutch:
Grillo machines are fitted with a professional-class standard or inverted cone clutch produced in-house: it wastes no power and extends the working life of the gearbox. There are also protective features on some accessories. For example, the mower bars for G52 - GF1 machines feature a special clutch that provides protection if an obstacle jams the blade.

The engines installed on Grillo machines are all quality units that above all give the right results for the intended type of use - they are all selected and tested in advance to guarantee the Grillo quality standards.
