Walk Behind Tractors

Walk-behind or 2-wheel tractors have around for a while. They are used in homes, market farms, small-scale farms, horticultural, industrial, and landscaping worldwide. We offer only professional grade equipment designed to work with many attachments and implants with a single environmentally friendly power supply. At this time we offer Grillo and Goldoni units. They are Italian-made, complete hardened steel gear driven units with no belts or chains. These are some of the most rugged equipment on the market and we offer the best of the best.

Recently, after digging many a garden plot by hand with all the great hand tools we’ve come across over time, we discovered these walk-behind tractors. As raised beds and container have been our choice method of growing, they require intensive labor. Our biggest concerns in becoming more mechanized had been maintaining a healthy earthworm population and soil biodiversity as well as soil hardpanning and compaction that comes from tilling. With these tractors and implements, we have found ways to cultivate more land utilizing healthy practices with less concern about the negative effects of conventional tools. From cultivator to rotary plow and flail mower to reciprocating spader, these tools can take your backyard gardening and market or small-scale farm into a more bountiful experience.

Biodiesel, though arguably not the ultimate fuel, is a great carbon neutral fuel that we feel really good about. It is a wonderful transitional fuel. Until next generation fuels are created, this is a really good way to garden with ease. We offer resources to help you get started with small-scale local production and/or helping find local supplies. If you are in the DC beltway area, we recommend Green Guild Biodiesel Coop. One of our best resources has been the magazine Biodiesel Smarter.
