Hi GB , that looks like a powerful machine !
I am not familiar with them . Could you tell us a little about what it can do ( rotovate / plough / harrow ) ?

All of the above
It indeed has power to burn and churns through our varied soil, some good and light and some all ROCKS  but the Beast doesnt seem to care, just eats through it. It can also pull itself out of ruts and dips so its easy peasy to use  just hold on and let it go where you want with just a squeese of right or left handle. Its rotovator bit comes off and you can attach a plow or furrower or the like. It comes with the rotovator and a plow attachment. Parts are available in Ireland for repairing if she breaks down and you can also get other attachments if you like although I find the rotovator bit is the best which is why it hardly ever comes off.
Its proper name is an Ikesi KE1000, three forward and one reverse in high gear and the same in low gear. The technical information has been supplied by Mr GB cause he knows that sort of thing but I use it so I can say its the easiest rotovator to use and wont make you ache for days afterwards 
We paid 3,800 euros for her and are looking for 2,600 or best offer and I can say she is worth every penny. |
