Ruris 918K
The 918K is the most powerful tiller in the Ruris range: a house-branded General Engine four-stroke of 460 cc rated 18 CP, with electronic ignition, key plus recoil start and a work lamp, drives a nodular-cast-iron transmission with conical gears in oil, two forward and one reverse speed, a working width adjustable from 750 to 1,100 mm and 100-360 mm depth, on 6.00-12 rubber wheels with a ridger included. Ruris quotes a 6.5 l tank, about 1.7 l/h consumption and 800-1,500 m²/h; the dealer sheet gives 164 kg for this wheels-and-ridger configuration. Engine, width and gears are from ruris.ro; displacement, weight and the 4,160 lei price are from the Romanian dealer utilajeagricolesiforestiere.ro on 2026-09-20 (in stock); the euro and pound figures are converted from that one price, so treat them as indicative. A 918K PRO version is sold alongside.

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.
