Bertolini BT155 Compact Petrol Front-Tine Cultivator

The Bertolini BT155 benefits from top-notch Italian engineering solutions, and as such is the obvious choice for the more exacting domestic gardener or allotment enthusiast!

Driving this high-performance, high-specification tiller is a powerful 2.4hp (80cc) four-stroke overhead-valve engine from Emak; the K300. Overhead-valve engines have become hugely popular in recent years, as they run cleaner, cooler and quieter than traditional side-valve units, as well as being significantly cheaper to run.

Power from the engine is delivered to the tines through an oil-bathed chain drive; a premium feature, which not only optimises torque transfer, but also works to greatly extend the machine’s service life.

Thanks to its heavy-duty riveted-steel rotors and high-torque transmission, the Bertolini BT155 Front-Tine Cultivator will make light work of the most stubborn soil-types. A rotor guard and a handlebar-mounted rotor-brake lever combine to maximise user safety.

Some petrol cultivators can be awkward to control and tiring to use – not so the Bertolini BT155: it features ergonomic, height- and width-adjustable handlebars and a convenient multi-function lever, both of which combine with its remarkably lightweight design (25kg) to ensure you’ll have no handling problems. A front transport wheel facilitates easier site-to-site movement.

Built to withstand the rigours of heavy-duty use, the Bertolini BT155 is constructed around a robust all-steel chassis, and is fitted with a reinforced transmission guard.
