GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
The walking tractor is a single-axle self-propelled machine complete with a rotary tiller for tilling
soil. These machines are used primarily to prepare the soil (elimination of weed, surface tilling of
the soil) and used in gardening, for small ground work, refinement work and orchard inter-rows.
The machine is constructed on a chassis and fitted with either a diesel engine. The engine drives
the wheels and P.T.O, which is usually connected to a rotary tiller. Other implements can be
connected to the P.T.O such as a snow thrower, swinging front blade, cutter bars, rotary cutters,
ploughs, power brushes and sprayer pumps. The Grillo G131 is a pedestrian-controlled machine,
the operator steers the machine via the handle-bar where the controls are mounted.
