Tier C — Electric / cordless cultivator Garden tiller
Hortmasz HGS 900
The Hortmasz HGS 900 is the bigger of this Polish maker's two main tillers — a 91 kg machine on a 212 cc OHV engine rated at 5.4 KM (4.0 kW). A geared 2 forward + 1 reverse transmission (no belt) drives a rotor that widens from 80 to 100 cm, and it ships on 4.00-8" rubber wheels so it doubles as a light micro-tractor for a plough. Engine class, the 80–100 cm width, 2+1 gearing and 91 kg weight are verified from Hortmasz's own spec sheet; the price is an indicative figure converted from the roughly 1,576–1,939 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.
