Tier B — Petrol garden tiller Germany Est. 1979

Güde

A German DIY value brand (the GF Gartenfräse range): budget petrol tillers with a strong retail presence in the German-speaking market.

Güde, a dealer brand since 1979

Güde says more than 5,000 dealer customers have trusted it since 1979, and that it is present in more than 10 European countries.

In the tiller range, Güde describes the GF 384 as a lightweight garden tiller with a 4-stroke Power-Engine motor, and the model appears in Güde's official declaration document. Our catalogue also lists the GF 600 and the GF 604.

Because Güde sells through dealers, the shop that sells you the machine is your first contact for warranty and spare parts. Ask before buying how it handles both, whether it keeps tines and belts in stock, and keep the receipt with the model number. Choose between the GF models on the size and soil of your plot: a lightweight tiller is easy to handle and store, but on hard or stony ground a heavier machine will usually do the job with less effort. On a used Güde, check the tines for wear and the engine for easy starting, and ask whether the original manual comes with it. Compare the price with similar tillers sold under other names before you pay.
