The Two Wheel Tractor was Grillo's original product when they started
manufacturing in 1950. 60 years of testing and use has seen this
original model grow into a range of versatile and powerful two wheel
tractors that provide solutions to people in a variety of applications
from small lifestyle blocks and farms to market gardens.
Ultimate Versatility
With
a range of attachments from traditional tillers and furrowers and
ploughs to mower bars, snow-throwers, rotary sweepers, flail mowers,
grass cutters, dumping towed trailers, and even chipper shredders, the
Two Wheel Tractor is one of the most versatile machines you can have on a
property.
Reducing the number of machines on your property
while increasing the application of activities you can perform brings a
better return on the investment, saves space and machine storage and
above all, only one machine has to be serviced and kept in good working
order.
They are gear only. No belts or chains!
All
Grillo Two Wheel Tractors have been designed with transmissions using
precision gears and hardened steel shafts mounted on ball bearings. This
type of transmission can draw on more than forty years' experience
which is the best guarantee of reliability, designed to offer years of
trouble free operation.
Adjustable,ergonomic handlebars
All
Grillo Two Wheel Tractors have been designed with adjustable, ergonomic
handlebars. Different models use various kinds of handlebar adjustment
depending on their application. (Models designed to take both tilling
and mowing attachments have reversible handles). The quick adjustment device gives more effective leverage at the end of the row, during transport or during servicing.
Revolving
handlebars pivot 180°. to allow multiple types of attachments to be
fitted and used. Mowing attachments are fitted out the front of the
machine with engine at the rear, by rotating the handlebars, the tilling
attachment can be fitted behind the unit with engine at front (this
provides balance). Height and width adjustment allow the operator to
drive the machine from the right or left when tilling, mowing a lawn or
using the snow-thrower. For this reason, the brake and clutch wires
Grillo uses are twice the usual size.
Well Balanced
Because the engine is in
line with the transmission, all Grillo Two Wheel Tractors achieve a low
centre of gravity . On other machines (e.g. those with belt drives) the
engine is higher up, making them less stable.
All Grillo
walking tractors are designed so that the machine's weight is over the
tiller. This means the operator does not have to press down on the
handlebar so hard to keep the tiller in the ground.
Quicker Tiller Rotation.
Grillo tiller
tines turn 2O times for each revolution of the wheel. This allows the
tines to chop the soil and vegetation into small pieces, producing an
ideal growth medium for plants.
Perfect Tilling
Grillo tillers break up the soil even underneath the transmission unit thanks to the adjustable depth stake.
Cheaper
tillers leave an untilled strip 5-8 cm wide. What's more, the
adjustable width steel tiller casing, has specially shaped side guards
which do not act as a brake on the machine's progress (fully compliant
with EC standards.) This retains the soil inside the tiller without
clogging, tilling it more finely.
The 6 Tine Tiller
The
6-tine tiller, exclusive to Grillo, is also available in a choice of
models. It tills the ground much more finely and provides excellent
results on very hard and medium consistency soils (not recommended on
wet clay soils).
The depth stake "foot" is easily adjustable from
the outside for trouble free adjusting - even when at work, giving
exactly the right setting for uniform tilling. This eliminates effort
and the need to wrestle with spanners.
Independent PTO and Wheel Drive
All Grillo Two Wheel
Tractors have PTO engagement that is independent of the wheel drive.
This allows the operator to disengage the PTO while the wheels are in
motion, for safer transport.
Reverse Gear PTO Cut Out
Grillo Two Wheel Tractors are
fitted with a mechanical device which automatically cuts out the PTO
when the machine switches to reverse gear. The operator cannot engage
reverse gear while the tiller tines are moving. This provides the
operator with maximum protection.
The reverser unit allows switch
passage to reverse gear from any speed - except the transport
speed(quick control on handlebar in model GIO7). This is a great help,
especially when using accessories such as the sickle bar, the rotary
mower or a snow-thrower.
Differential and Brakes
The
Grillo G107D and the
Grillo G131 are fitted with differential - (easily locked when not required, such as
for tilling), for increasing traction by engaging both driving wheels, and optional independent left-hand and right-hand brakes
for easier turning and manoeuvring.
Clutch
Grillo
Two Wheel tractors are fitted with a professional class standard or
inverted cone clutch produced in-house by Grillo: it wastes no power and
extends the working life of the gearbox. There are also protective
features on some accessories.
Quality Engines
The engines installed on Grillo Two
Wheel Tractors are all quality units that above all - give the right
results for the intended type of use - they are all selected and tested
in advance to guarantee the Grillo quality standards.
