Tier C — Electric / cordless cultivator Garden tiller
Weima WM500
The Weima WM500 is the brand's workhorse petrol tiller, built on Weima's own WM170F — a 212 cc OHV four-stroke rated at 7 KM (5.1 kW). A belt drive feeds a 2 forward + 1 reverse gearbox that turns a rotor up to 85 cm wide at 150–300 mm depth, and the 78 kg machine rides on 4.00-8" pneumatic wheels with a handlebar that swings 270° vertically and 360° sideways. Engine, the 85 cm width, 150–300 mm depth, 2+1 gearbox and 78 kg weight are verified from Weima's Polish distributor spec sheet; the price is an indicative figure converted from the roughly 1,999–2,499 zł Polish retail price.

Mid-mounted 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.
