ML178F six-horsepower diesel tiller: MLBE published model data
The figures below are extracted from MLBE’s existing model descriptions and technical tables. They must be matched to the ordered equipment and do not claim to be independently measured field performance.
| Model-specific feature | Published reference |
|---|---|
| Power unit | ML178F diesel, 6 HP class in the published model listing |
| Cultivation width | 1,100 mm listed for the configuration |
| Transmission | Gear-driven tiller; actual gear ratios should be confirmed |
| Field evidence | No model-specific soil-condition and fuel-use test curve verified here |
Field-use evidence and fitment
This tiller is positioned below the wider 1,350 mm ML186FB. To compare productivity, control soil type, moisture, test depth and blade arrangement; wider equipment does not automatically achieve greater output in restrictive crop rows. Request matched blade and transport-wheel part numbers for the actual ML178F build.
Compare with the ML186FB 10 HP / 1,350 mm diesel tiller. To prepare an independently useful cultivation test, record soil texture, moisture, initial compaction, blade arrangement, travel gear, measured working depth, engine rpm and cultivated area over time. These are suggested measurement fields, not MLBE test results.
Check the MLBE product manuals and request matching spare-parts drawings, an attachment fitment record and maintenance intervals from MLBE technical support. For a confirmed factory configuration enquire directly by email.
ML178F selection for smaller cultivation areas
The listed 1100 mm working width gives ML178F a different layout from the wider ML186FB. Compare the space needed for the complete blade set, wheel arrangement and operator. A dealer order should identify whether the machine is intended for repeated bed preparation, inter-row work or another approved attachment task.
Configuration checklist
- Describe soil condition, crop or row spacing, working width and the intended cultivation task.
- Identify the blade set, transport wheels, depth-control arrangement and the connector for each proposed implement.
- Separate standard equipment from optional attachments and confirm the assembled operating and transport dimensions.
Can I order one setup for both transport and tilling?
Describe both tasks when selecting the wheel and blade package. Transport wheels and cultivation blades perform different jobs, and changing the fitted equipment can alter handling and clearance. Confirm the approved arrangements for ML178F.
Operation and service planning
Inspect the working area for stones, wire and other obstructions. Avoid cultivation when soil is too wet to work without smearing or compaction. Select the approved depth and gear for the conditions. Stop and isolate the machine, and wait for all movement to cease before clearing or changing attachments.
For the applicable operating instructions or parts reference, send the complete model and production identification to MLBE technical support. The MLBE document centre helps identify the relevant resources. Confirm document revision, included accessories, packaging and agreed support terms for the supplied configuration.
Compare ML186FB and ML177F for related MLBE options. For factory orders, provide quantities, destination, configuration and artwork requirements through MLBE dealer and OEM supply.
