Safal Kisan SK-170F Petrol Cultivator for Dry Land Farming

The SK-170F Petrol Power Weeder is a compact, high-performance mini tiller and cultivator engineered for small to medium-sized farms across India, particularly suited for the dry and semi-arid conditions of Rajasthan and Jaipur regions. Powered by a dependable 170F 4-stroke petrol engine (212 cc displacement, delivering approximately actual output, often marketed as 7.5 HP), this machine provides strong torque and quick acceleration, making it highly effective for fast soil preparation, weed removal, inter-row cultivation, and light tillage tasks.

The gear-driven transmission with 2 forward + 1 reverse gears ensures smooth power delivery and excellent maneuverability, even in tight row spaces, narrow vegetable beds, or uneven dry land. Equipped with 24–32 rotary tiller blades (dry land optimized), it efficiently pulverizes soil, uproots weeds, and creates a fine seedbed in a single pass—ideal for crops like vegetables, spices, cotton, groundnut, pulses, and sugarcane inter-cultivation.

Key highlights include:

• Working width of 800–1000 mm (adjustable depending on blade configuration), allowing flexibility for both narrow rows and wider open fields.
• Tilling depth adjustable from 100–300 mm to suit different soil types and crop requirements.
• Recoil starting system for instant, hassle-free ignition—no battery maintenance needed, perfect for remote fields or early morning work.
• Ergonomic adjustable handlebar (up/down and in some variants left/right) reduces operator fatigue during long hours of use.
• Lightweight design (net weight approx. 80–90 kg) makes it easy to transport, turn, and store, even for solo farmers.
• Agricultural tread tyres (typically 4.00-8 size) provide excellent grip on dry, loose, or slightly muddy soil.
• Low fuel consumption — economical petrol usage (around 0.6–1.0 L/hour depending on load), keeping running costs reasonable for daily farm operations.

This power weeder significantly cuts down manual labor, saves time during peak weeding and planting seasons, and improves soil health through better aeration and weed control. It is especially popular among Jaipur farmers who prefer a quick-starting petrol model over diesel for smaller plots, frequent starts/stops, and lighter-duty work where fuel economy is balanced with ease of use.
