Engine Power Capacity | Small-scale farming, large agricultural fields | Industry: 5hp (handles light soil) Base: 6hp▲ (handles medium soil) Advanced: 12hp▲▲ (tackles tough clay soil) | Base: 20% more power than industry standard; Advanced doubles base power for heavy-duty tasks | Higher HP models may require more maintenance and fuel consumption |
Safety Certification | Commercial farming, home gardening | Industry: Basic OSHA compliance (minimal safety) Base/Advanced: EN ISO 12100▲ (reduces risks by 30% via advanced guards) | Enhanced safety features (e.g., engine covers, emergency stop) reduce accidents | Industry models may lack critical safety certifications for professional use |
Versatility | Diverse farming tasks, specialized ops | Industry: 2–3 attachments (limited functions) Base: 5+ attachments▲ (ridger, cultivator) Advanced: 8+ attachments▲▲ (includes harrow, plow) | Base allows 50% more tasks than industry; Advanced supports full farm operations | More attachments may increase storage needs and complexity for new users |
Fuel Efficiency | Cost-sensitive ops, eco-friendly farming | Industry: 2L/h (typical for similar engines) Base: 1.8L/h▲ (10% more efficient) Advanced: 1.5L/h▲▲ (30% improvement via optimized engine) | Base reduces annual fuel costs by $150; Advanced cuts costs by $300+ | Advanced models may have higher upfront costs due to advanced engine tech |
Portability | Urban gardening, small farms | Industry: 20kg (standard weight) Base: 18kg▲ (lightweight) Advanced: 22kg▲ (still compact for 12hp) | Base is 10% lighter than industry; Advanced retains portability despite higher power | Heavier Advanced models may require two people to maneuver in tight spaces |
Noise Level | Residential areas, noise-sensitive zones | Industry: 90 dBA (lawnmower-like) Base: 85 dBA▲ (ISO-compliant) Advanced: 80 dBA▲▲ (muffler reduces noise further) | Base reduces noise by 5 dB; Advanced cuts noise by 10 dB for comfort | Quieter engines may incur additional costs for noise-reduction tech |
