Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the GF 2436.1 and the larger GF 420-4.1 model? The GF 2436.1 is a compact and lightweight version (26 kg, 360 mm, 3.2 HP) ideal for small vegetable gardens and easy soil. The GF 420-4.1 is a professional model (73.5 kg, 480 mm, 5.5 HP, 12 blades, adjustable depth 175–350 mm) designed for hard soil and larger areas. Choose the 2436.1 for home gardens and the 420-4.1 for compacted soil and medium to large areas.
Are the 4 blades sufficient for effective cultivation? Yes. The 4 specialised blades are designed for gentle yet effective cultivation on normal soil. They penetrate the ground to a depth of 260 mm, breaking up surface compaction without damaging the soil structure. They are ideal for home vegetable gardens and compost incorporation.
Can I use the GF 2436.1 on slopes? Only on gentle slopes up to 15°. On steeper slopes over 20°, stability is limited, so use with caution. The low weight of 26 kg makes control easier on small slopes.
How much maintenance does the 4-stroke engine require? Maintenance is simple: (1) change the oil every 50 working hours (0.5 L, 15W40 type); (2) clean the blades after each use; (3) inspect the air filter every 10 hours; (4) empty the fuel tank if the machine is not used for more than 2 weeks; (5) start the machine periodically during seasonal breaks.
How important is the dead man’s switch? It is critical for safety. The switch shuts off the engine instantly if the operator releases the handle, helping to prevent injuries if the operator falls or loses control. Mandatory on all modern machines, the GF 2436.1 includes it as standard.
How much fuel does the GF 2436.1 consume? Estimated consumption is approximately 0.25–0.35 litres/hour at rated speed during normal work. The 0.9-litre tank provides an approximate autonomy of 2.5–3.5 hours between refuelling. Fuel consumption is low thanks to the efficient 4-stroke engine.
