Starting method of the gasoline or diesel engine (see "Engine type") provided in the unit.
— Manual. Starting due to the muscular strength of a person: the operator pulls a special cable or turns the handle, due to which the shaft turns and the engine receives the initial impulse necessary for operation. Manual start systems are inexpensive, light and compact, and do not depend on batteries that can run out at the worst possible moment. On the other hand, the starting process itself can require considerable effort, especially in a heavy, powerful engine. Therefore, this option is used mainly in relatively low-power models.

Electric starter. Starting due to the starter — a small electric motor powered by a battery. Such systems are much more convenient than manual ones — the operator actually only needs to press a button or turn a key; at the same time they are suitable even for the most powerful motors. On the other hand, a starter with a battery significantly increases the weight, dimensions and cost of the entire unit, and with a long idle time, the battery may run out and the system will become useless (however, a spare manual "starter" may be provided for this case). Therefore, this starting method is used exclusively in heavy equipment, for which the ability to do without manual start is more important than the described disadvantages.
The average amount of fuel consumed by the gasoline or diesel engine (see "Engine type") of the cultivator/two-wheel tractor per hour of operation. This value is rather conditional, because depending on the mode of operation, fuel consumption may vary in one direction or another; however, in general, it provides an estimate of the approximate amount of fuel required for a given operating time.
