Power Tiller Finder - Choose the Right Tiller for Your Farm
Finding the right power tiller for your farm is now easy. Use the tool below to filter power tillers by horse power (HP) and fuel type. Once selected, you will also see the fuel consumption per hour of the machine, which helps estimate operating costs. This makes it simple for farmers to compare different models and choose the most efficient tiller for their land.

Why Fuel Consumption Matters in Power Tillers
Fuel consumption directly affects the running cost of a tiller. Even a small difference of 0.2 litres per hour can add up to a big saving across an entire farming season. For example, a farmer working 5 hours daily for 100 days will save nearly 100 litres of fuel if the machine is more efficient. Choosing the right tiller not only reduces expenses but also ensures better productivity in the field.
Power Tiller HP Range and Uses
Different HP ranges are suited for different types of farms and crops. Here’s a quick guide:
| HP Range | Best For | Fuel Type Options |
|---|---|---|
| 2 – 5 HP | Vegetable gardens, kitchen farming, small plots | Petrol |
| 6 – 9 HP | Medium farms, intercultivation, orchards | Petrol / Diesel |
| 10 – 16 HP | Large fields, heavy tillage, commercial farming | Diesel |
How to Choose the Right Power Tiller
When buying a power tiller, farmers should consider these factors:
- Land Size: Small farms can manage with 2–5 HP machines, while larger plots need 10+ HP tillers.
- Soil Type: Sandy or loose soils require less power, while clay or hard soils need higher HP machines.
- Fuel Availability: Diesel tillers are powerful and fuel-efficient, while petrol tillers are easy to start and maintain.
- Attachments: If you plan to use a rotavator, ridger, trailer, or water pump, choose a higher HP model that supports attachments.
- Budget & Running Cost: Factor in not just the purchase price but also daily fuel use and long-term savings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which power tiller is best for 1 acre farm?
For farms up to 1 acre, a 2–5 HP petrol tiller is usually sufficient. These models are lightweight, easy to handle, and consume less fuel.
Which consumes more fuel, petrol or diesel tiller?
Diesel tillers are generally more fuel-efficient than petrol tillers for the same HP. However, petrol tillers are cheaper to purchase and easier to start in small farms.
How many litres per hour does a tiller use?
Depending on HP and fuel type, a tiller consumes between 0.5 to 1.5 litres per hour. The tool above shows exact values for each tiller model.
What is the life of a diesel power tiller?
With proper maintenance, a diesel power tiller can last 8–10 years or more. Regular servicing, timely oil changes, and clean filters can extend machine life and improve efficiency.
