Grillo 11500

The Grillo 11500 is a two-wheel tractor tiller intended for soil cultivation on agricultural and garden areas, fitted with a 6-blade rotary tiller with side discs on a 27 mm hexagonal shaft. Tiller working width is adjustable to 72 or 99 cm with side discs (up to 125 cm with the optional expansion kit 933112), or to 59 or 86 cm without side discs (up to 111 cm with the same kit), while working depth is 33 cm and tine diameter is 34 cm. The machine is offered with four engine options, suited to different needs and budgets: Honda GX200 OHV with recoil start (196 cc, 5.5 HP), Honda GX270 with recoil start (270 cc, 8.4 HP), Honda GX270 with electric start and 12V battery (270 cc, 8.4 HP), and a Kohler KD15 350 AE diesel engine with manual and electric start (349 cc, 7.5 HP) - the latter option particularly suited to users wanting lower fuel consumption during longer operation. Drive runs through gears in an oil bath, and the gearbox offers 3 forward speeds plus 1 reverse, with a cone-type active clutch. The tiller runs at three speeds (53, 123 and 162 rpm) plus reverse at 53 rpm, allowing the intensity of cultivation to be adapted to soil type. The machine has two P.T.O. outputs: a superior P.T.O. running counter-clockwise per the 11UNI 221 standard, and a synchronized inferior P.T.O. running clockwise per the 13UNI 221 standard. The handlebar is height- and side-adjustable, mounted on anti-vibration blocks for comfortable handling. Tank capacity is 5.3 liters for the GX270 engine, or 3.1 liters for the GX200 engine; capacity for the Kohler diesel engine is not stated in the source document. Machine weight is 90 kg with the GX270 engine - other engine variants may slightly change total mass, but the source states only this value. The combination of a powerful tiller, flexible engine choice and dual P.T.O. system makes the Grillo 11500 a versatile machine for moderately demanding soil cultivation.
