Tier B — Petrol garden tiller Garden tiller
Brumi Serie K (Loncin)
The Serie K is Brumi's small motozappa: this 5L version carries a Loncin LC1P65FE-2 of 166 cc rated 2.9 kW at 3,600 rpm (the 5R uses a Kohler XT675 of 149 cc and 3.2 kW) driving a single forward speed through an engaging clutch and a cast-iron group with case-hardened steel gears in an oil bath; the standard ATF14 tiller is 70 cm wide and Brumi quotes 50 kg with it (40 kg for the 5R). Engine, clutch, width and weight are from Brumi's Serie K page; the price is the Loncin version in Brumi's own shop on 2026-09-20, 1,002.60 EUR at the current 10% discount against 1,114 EUR list.

Who it's for
Best for: Small Italian orti where a light, gear-driven tiller with a proper cast-iron gearbox is worth more than raw power.
Strengths
- Cast-iron oil-bath gear group on a 50 kg machine
- 70 cm tiller for a small-engine motozappa
- Loncin engine, cheap to run; Kohler option
- Sold and serviced by an Italian maker since 1955
Trade-offs
- One forward speed, no reverse
- 2.9 kW is for maintained soil, not breaking ground
- Dearer than big-box tillers of similar power

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.
