A tiller order needs more detail than a model name and a horsepower figure. Two machines with similar headline specifications can have different starting systems, transmissions, wheels and packing requirements. For a distributor, recording these differences before ordering makes it easier to compare quotations and explain the equipment to customers.
Start with the intended work, then confirm the complete configuration. The following checklist uses examples from the Guanzhongguan tiller catalogue to show what belongs in a purchase specification.
1. Describe the customer’s working conditions
Ask customers what they expect the machine to do: prepare planting beds, cultivate between rows, manage an orchard or perform another defined task. Record the soil condition, available space, access routes and typical working area. Photos of the land and existing equipment can help clarify requirements that are difficult to describe in a short inquiry.
Measure the narrowest access point and the space between planted rows. These measurements help the supplier assess the proposed configuration. A published tilling width is not the same measurement as the machine’s overall transport width, so request both where access is restricted.
2. Compare named configurations, not just series numbers
The current catalogue provides these examples:
| Model | Fuel | Listed tilling width | Listed starting system |
|---|---|---|---|
| GZ800 | Gasoline | 800 mm | Manual recoil |
| GZ1000B | Diesel | 800 mm | Manual recoil |
| GZ1100BEITL | Diesel | 1100 mm | Electric start |
These are catalogue configurations, not a ranking of suitability for every field. Confirm the exact model suffix, engine, starting system and blade arrangement in the quotation. If you request a change, have the revised specification recorded rather than assuming that the standard catalogue entry still describes the order.
3. Separate engine selection from the rest of the machine
Discuss fuel availability, customer preferences and the service resources in your market. Ask for the engine model, rated output and applicable operating documentation. Keep rated power and any separately advertised maximum or horsepower figures clearly labelled when preparing your own product listing.
Starting arrangements also need an explicit decision. Where electric start is specified, confirm which battery, cables and related components are included, and how they will be supplied. Request the relevant engine and machine manuals so your service team can prepare model-specific handover instructions.
4. Confirm blades, wheels and attachment interfaces
List the blade set, wheel specification and any additional implements separately. The Guanzhongguan implement range includes options such as ploughs, ridgers and paddy wheels, but a catalogue image alone does not establish compatibility with a particular tiller.
For each proposed attachment, ask the supplier to confirm the connection dimensions, mounting arrangement and any required adapters. For driven equipment, also request confirmation of the drive interface and operating requirements. Include the accepted configuration in the order, with photographs or drawings where useful.
5. Build the spare-parts list around the exact order
A starter spare-parts package should match the engines and machines being purchased. Review the engine and tiller spare-parts range, then request part identifiers and an illustrated parts list for the agreed models. Similar-looking components should not be treated as interchangeable without confirmation.
Record the machine and engine identification details needed for future support. Agree how replacement parts will be identified after delivery, including the information your team should provide when requesting a quotation. Keep this record with the final order specification.
6. Check packing before confirming quantities
Request the packed dimensions, gross weight, packing format and assembly state for each configuration. Ask which items are packed separately and what work is required before customer handover. A published container quantity is a starting point for discussion; confirm the loading plan for the actual mix of machines, implements and spare parts.
Before placing the order, review one final schedule covering model and suffix, engine, start type, blades, wheels, attachments, spares, packing and quantities. Resolve differences between the quotation, sample photographs and technical sheet before approval.
Send a complete configuration request
Share your target market, working conditions, preferred models and estimated quantities with the Guanzhongguan team. Attach any access measurements and implement requirements. This gives the discussion a practical starting point and helps turn a general tiller inquiry into a specification both sides can check.
