With the Ikra electric soil hammer EM 750, 70300050 every hobby gardener gets the right support to prepare his garden for a new sowing. In a practice-oriented test, the electro ground chopper EM 750 from IKRAmogatec proved to be particularly easy to use and as a valuable helper, for the preparation of heavy soils.The Ikra Magotec EM 750 motorhack is especially suitable for small and medium-sized gardens. The test was based on comparable devices which are also driven by an electric motor.  

The impressions at first sight

Powerful 750 watts of electric motor power is available to operate this ground chopper and chop up the ground. This saves energy and effort because with a working width of 28 cm you are well served to work a garden so that the soil becomes quite light. In the test, this hoe with motor drive proved to be very robust, although strong forces are created on the sub-arms, but the ambitious hobby gardener is quickly finished with his work. The result from the soil processing in the test was remarkable, because this engine hack tears the ground about 20 cm deep and swirls the earth well.  

Technically very high quality and durable

In the test was also interested how the technical structure was solved by the manufacturer Ikra. A very simple design is shown here, with a frame on which the engine sits and drives the drive shaft with the choppers via an oil-lubricated transmission. The gearbox is an innovative solution because oil lubrication creates the situation that this gearbox is maintenance-free. The construction itself is very durable and robust. The 16 knives at the heel are made of steel and the weld points are very well worked so that this hoe is also very durable. The 750 watt electric motor is also low-maintenance and in the test the design proved to be very balanced in all dimensions and proportions. The whole hoe is very light and easy to fold together, which also means a valuable advantage when transporting, so it is easy to carry and carry this hoe.  

Safety via the switch

The operation is simple and the engine starts only with the appropriate lock on the switch. You need an extension cable and that proved in the test somewhat disturbing. There is a risk that you can get the cable in the chopper knives of the ground hook. However, this is not an issue when working properly, as tested in the test. It is therefore only necessary to concentrate and pay attention to the exact use. This device is precisely matched in terms of its weight and its performance, which showed the practical testing from the test. Other safety devices that were also tested in the test are the overload protection, once the hoe is stuck and the corresponding simple but sure strain relief of the cable. Thus, this motorhack has all the necessary safety elements including a cover of the chopping knives, which however appeared somewhat too small in the test. Here, the manufacturer should improve something, because flying around the earth is disturbing and that could be easily changed. In the test, the small drawbacks were a little disturbing and with the necessary awareness of these limitations could work best. It is already relieving the soil so to work, however one must always follow the cable. Here too, you can take your time, because then the work is simply safer.
