Q: What is the typical fuel consumption?
A: Around 0.6–0.65 litres per hour under normal load – actual consumption depends on soil type and working depth.

Q: Where can I buy spare parts and service?
A: Authorised dealers and agri-equipment resellers stock blades, engine spares and gearbox oil; several online agritech retailers list MY-470G variants as well. Confirm spare availability with your dealer.
