Texas

Danish engines for rough ground

TEXAS reaches two shelves here and both are engines on ground that is being worked rather than tidied.

The scarifier is a petrol machine with a large working width and a four-stroke engine, on a shelf where most competitors are mains-powered at half the width. That is a machine for an area where trailing a cable is not practical, and it is priced accordingly.

The tiller is the same idea applied to soil: a variable working width quoted as a range, because the outer tine sets come off. Which figure in that range you actually use depends on whether the machine has the traction to pull the full set through your soil, and no listing addresses that. This site prints the range as a range.

Both entries state a displacement and a power figure. Neither states an emission stage in the listing, and where none is named this site prints the absence rather than inferring one from the displacement.

Which shelves carry Texas

  • Texas Lilli 535TG

    212 cm³, 5.5 PS, 36/57/85 cm, 33 cm deep, forward and reverse

    A variable 36, 57 or 85 cm width, 33 cm deep, with a separate gearbox for reverse and attachments available for ploughing and ridging.

    Best for: A large vegetable plot or smallholding worked seriously, where the machine will earn its price

  • Texas Pro Cut 461TG

    46 cm, 212 cc / 5.4 PS four-stroke, 48 blades

    The widest machine on this shelf at 46 cm, with 48 blades on a 212 cc four-stroke, described by the maker as suitable for commercial use.

    Best for: A very large lawn, or somebody scarifying more than one of them a season
