A Brief Synopsis on Rotavators
Rotavators are ideal machines for turning over rough, weedy and arable ground.
Allowing you to turn a wasteland into majestic gardens or grow crops and vegetables.
You can get a rotavator which comes in variable sizes and power outputs that will all be able to handle all different sizes and grades of land.
The market for rotavators is growing rapidly because they form an important part of a gardeners tool set.
A small scale rotavator will usually run on a two stroke engine and will be light enough for small to medium sized domestic use.
And the largest agricultural rotavator can be attached to the back of a tractor and have an engine well in excess of 200cc and a blade depth of 6 inches or more, not to mention being over 10ft wide.
These larger models are more suited for commercial gardeners and farmers where large plots of land need to be turned over or where there is particularly rough terrain underfoot.
A third option, less considered these days, is the electric powered rotavator.
While these models are often misconceived as weak and inadequate, you can get electric powered rotavators that pack a fair punch while being quieter when in use than their petrol counterparts.
Some electric models also come with adjustable speed settings and extra long blades.
Electric rotavators are improving all the time.
The only drawback to electric models is the length of the main cable.
The length of the cable will determine how far from the power source you can go and how much land you can turn over.
This is where a petrol powered rotavator will outperform the electric models because of the freedom petrol versions have to offer.
When using or purchasing a rotavator, it is always worthwhile to consider how big the area of land is and how deep you want to go.
Rotavators come with all different sizes of blades and you should take into account the type of soil that you intend the rotavator to work on because it can make a big difference.
Some only go down a couple of inches, while others will go down over 6 inches.
Usually, the bigger the rotavator, the bigger it's cutting width will be, allowing you to complete the area of land you are working on just that little bit quicker.
These machines are overall a very good investment and will help you reap what you sow in the land in the years ahead.
