Diesel vs. Gasoline Engines for Micro Tillers: Which Is the Better Choice?

Currently, the power sources for micro tillers are basically diesel engines and gasoline engines, and these two types of power differ in performance, cost, and user experience. Next, Allian Agri will introduce the differences between the two types of machines for you.

1. In terms of performance, due to the different combustion and explosion methods of diesel and gasoline, under the premise of the same cylinder diameter, the horsepower of diesel engines is slightly lower than that of gasoline engines, but the power is significantly stronger than that of gasoline engines. Therefore, in fields with relatively hard soil, diesel micro tillers are mostly used for cultivation. All crawler-type micro tillers produced and sold by Allian Agri are equipped with diesel engines, featuring strong horsepower and high work efficiency.
2. In terms of cost, due to the higher manufacturing process requirements for diesel micro tillers, as well as stricter material and technical parameters, the price of diesel engines with the same cylinder diameter is higher than that of gasoline engines. However, under the same workload, the fuel consumption cost of diesel engines is significantly lower than that of gasoline engines.
3. From the perspective of user experience, due to the different combustion and explosion methods of fuels, the manual pull-start of diesel engines is more strenuous. Therefore, all diesel micro tillers produced by Allian Agri are reserved with electric start configurations. For users with less strength, such as women, children, and the elderly, they can operate through electric start, which is more labor-saving and safer.
4. In terms of applicable areas: lightweight gasoline micro tillers are more suitable for short-term work areas such as orchards, vegetable greenhouses, and gardens; diesel micro tillers are more suitable for areas with higher requirements for operation intensity, such as regions with hard soil and long-term operation needs.
