A rotary tiller or cultivator is a petrol powered mechanical device used in the garden to loosen and turn the soil in preparation for new plantings. The once hard compacted ground can be tamed becoming crumbly aerated rich soil. Furrows can be created to allow good drainage for root systems in an easy growing medium to give plants the maximum chance to flourish.

Preparing the ground before planting is thus vital for good results, in particular, for food crops grown over a relatively short period of time. A rotary tiller can turn and loosen the soil better than a shovel and fork.

Cultivating the soil may not be a problem if you have a small area or raised garden beds. However, if your growing area is medium to large and traditional, then digging by hand with a hoe, shovel, and fork can be back breaking work and seem to take an eternity.

A rotary tiller moto mower can help turn a tedious task into a not so tedious task by mechanizing the job and reducing time and effort.

Walk into your local hardware or gardening centre and you’ll be spoilt for choice by the store of small motor machines on offer. It’s amazing how many different types of motorized garden gadgets there are to help the garden. When you choose rotary tillers, it is always helpful to take a closer look at the motor.

Many of these rotary tillers come with similar designs and exteriors. However, it’s the inside that makes all the difference and the motor obviously is important. Cheaper motors are common and some are rather good but many are pretty shoddy. These machines are placed under incredible stress for long operating periods and whilst the cheaper motors will do the job, it’s prudent to get a lawn fertilizer machine with a good brand name. These companies protect their reputation by constantly reviewing, testing, and upgrading their products with warranties and claims usually well managed. Besides, you’re buying a tiller to do a tough job and you deserve confidence in the make that it will do the task as advertised. The last thing you want is to waste time replacing machinery or chasing a warranty claim through a company on the other side of the world with support staff who don’t care about you.
