Ruris 1001KSD
The Ruris 1001KSD is Ruris's diesel power tiller, aimed at owners who want diesel running costs and torque rather than petrol. A 408 cc air-cooled diesel engine (10 CP / 7.4 kW) drives an adjustable 75–125 cm tine width through 2 forward and 1 reverse gear, with the same 171 kg chassis as the 1300KS. Engine, width and weight are verified from Ruris and Romanian retailer listings; price is an indicative range from eMAG and other Romanian retailers (around €1,340–1,460).

Front-tine 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.
