Tier D — Global / grey-import Garden tiller
Faworyt RT212R
The Faworyt RT212R is a mid-size belt-drive tiller built on a RATO R210 — a 212 cc OHV four-stroke rated at 4.89 KM (3.6 kW). A 2 forward + 1 reverse gearbox turns a rotor set in three steps — 34, 56 or 88 cm — to 36 cm deep, with side guard discs, and the machine weighs 83.5 kg on a pair of road wheels. Engine, the 34/56/88 cm widths, 36 cm depth, 2+1 gearing and 83.5 kg weight are verified from the distributor's spec sheet; the price is an indicative figure converted from the roughly 1,700–2,100 zł Polish retail price.

Mid-mounted machine. Width and weight determine how much ground you cover and how manoeuvrable it is — heavier machines bite harder but ask more of you to turn and transport.
