Cultivator König & Söhnen model 30cm petrol tine width, brand könner & söhnen

The könner & söhnen cultivator with a 30 cm petrol tine width is a compact machine designed for loosening soil, removing weeds and preparing seedbeds in home gardens and small plots. Driven by a petrol engine, the unit operates rotating tines that work across a 30 cm path to break up compacted soil, mix organic matter and create an even seedbed. Its compact footprint and mechanical tine arrangement make it suitable for narrow beds, borders and allotments where larger machinery cannot reach.

Advantages

This petrol cultivator offers mechanical power without dependence on mains electricity, enabling use in remote garden areas. The 30 cm working width balances maneuverability and coverage, while rotating tines provide effective soil turnover and aeration. The design supports simple transport and storage due to its compact size. Adjustable depth control and handle positioning, where present on specific configurations, allow adaptation to different soil conditions and operator preferences.

How to use

Start the petrol engine following the manufacturer’s starting procedure and safety checks, including fuel level, oil level and secure handle adjustments. Position the cultivator at the beginning of the area to be worked and engage the tines at low throttle to begin soil penetration. Move the cultivator forward at a steady pace, allowing the rotating tines to break and turn the soil; for deeper cultivation make additional passes and adjust depth control where available. After use, stop the engine, allow moving parts to come to rest and perform routine checks such as removing debris from tines and inspecting for wear.

Usage recommendations

Use the cultivator on moderately dry soil for best tine performance; excessively wet soil can clog tines and reduce effectiveness. Wear appropriate protective equipment, follow local fuel and storage regulations, and consult the supplied manual for maintenance intervals, spark plug and air filter service, and winter storage procedures.
