Any help would be really appreciated. Hi It certainly looks the business. However, from that experience I could suggest a couple of things to check.
The first point is the availability of spares like drive belt there is usually one in the transmission to act as a shock absorber , tines the bits that do the digging - they wear quite fast and engine parts.
However, the drive belt has come off twice recently which can't be doing it any good. The SARP weighs about 50kg which means I can just get it into the back of my car but it is a struggle and the thing seems to have been designed to catch on every corner. The Maxtra will be heavier as it has a gearbox and separate drive to the wheels. So if you intend to transport it from place to place, you might need help or a lower loader! The SARP copes well with the very light soil on my land but I would prefer the Maxtra design on anything like a medium clay soil.
The SARP is hard work to use even if you have the technique to use it properly worked out. After 2 hours, I feel like laying down where I am working! Anyway, good luck if you decide to buy one. Report back on how it is going. I shouldn't worry about getting any type of drive belt. They are easy to get from bearing suppliers and the like or agricultural parts suppliers or lawn mower shops. Just take the old one in for a pattern.
Most belts are manufactured by third parties anyway. Help Search Login Register. I know they are not everyone's cup of tea, but with over sq. I hired one from a local tool hire place and wasn't impressed as it just scratched the surface. It came in a crate and had to be built up, the instructions are very clear and easy to follow although being a mechanical engineer might have helped , also it was delivered in 2 days from placing the order. This morning, it being a nice sunny dry day, although not warm, here in the north east of Scotland I decided to give it a test run.
To say I'm impressed is an understatement, what a great peice of kit, the depth is adjustable and if you work through the area gradually dropping the cutters it easily works through the ground to give a fine deep tilth.
The plan is to use it to turn the surface of our paddocks and to regrass for the ponies. I'm sure this will manage it easily. Best buy I've made since we moved in last August. Wellieboots Guest.

The forward tines effectively drive the tiller forward and it is very easy to control although it does require a small amount of force to manage it. Hope this helps. Indeed - but the pics of the 6. Anyway - I took the plunge and bought one on Sunday - it was delivered today so if anyone is interested The two tyres are held on with linch pins and can be made either free wheeling for transport, or driven for tilling depending on which holes are used.
