ML188F 13 HP petrol 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 |
|---|---|
| Engine | ML188F, 389 cc; published 13 HP / 9.4 kW maximum at 3,600 rpm |
| Tilling width and minimum depth | 1,350 mm; ≥100 mm |
| Blade groups | 4+1 groups; 40 blades with side disc |
| Transmission | #32 six-speed gearbox with low/high travel ranges |
| Starting / mass | Recoil or electric variants; 135 kg net |
Field-use evidence and fitment
Compare the 1,350 mm wide cultivation layout with the 1,100 mm ML177F against row widths, access and available turning space. Motor size and blade count alone do not establish fuel consumption per hectare or hourly output. Confirm the exact engine, gear ratio, blade and wheel equipment for any importer order.
Compare with the ML177F 9 HP narrower petrol 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.
Matching ML188F to wider cultivation
The listed 1350 mm cultivation width and 40-blade arrangement make working space an important part of an ML188F enquiry. Measure gateways, bed spacing and turning areas as well as the field itself. A wide blade set can reduce the number of passes across an open bed, but leaves less clearance around established crops.
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.
Why choose a low travel range?
A low range can help the operator control progress when cultivation resistance increases. Gear choice must suit soil condition, attachment and safe handling; the six-speed description does not mean every ratio is suitable for every implement.
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 ML177F and ML186FB for related MLBE options. For factory orders, provide quantities, destination, configuration and artwork requirements through MLBE dealer and OEM supply.
