Recommendations for use
Recently, many gardeners prefer to use the Tornado garden cultivator at their dachas. This is due to its affordable price, versatility and long service life. This tool is easy to use, but in order to properly work the land, several rules must be taken into account.
- Before starting work, the device must be assembled, the rod must be set at the desired height and placed perpendicular to the surface to be treated. Then you need to turn the rod clockwise, slightly pressing the handle. In order to remove the tool from the ground, you should not make turns to the left, it is enough to step back 20 cm and repeat the movements.
- During work at the summer cottage, it is recommended to follow a certain sequence. Thus, the surface of the soil is evenly cleaned of large and small weeds. In addition, the cultivator is well suited for transferring the removed grass into the compost pit, it is an ideal replacement for the pitchfork. Weed roots are picked up by sharp teeth and are easily carried.
- If it is planned to loosen the soil, the cultivator is adjusted in height, set perpendicularly with the tines to the soil surface, and locks are carried out by 60 degrees. Because the tines are sharp, they will quickly enter the ground and loosen it up. The handle in the tool acts as a lever, so no effort is required to work. When cultivating the soil with mini-cultivators, they should be installed at an angle to the soil, and not perpendicular as with simple models.
- When working in areas with a large layer of turf, first of all, you need to make markings in small squares measuring 25x25 cm. Then you can use a hand cultivator.

Manual cultivator root remover "Tornado" - a universal helper in soil cultivation
The season begins for work in summer cottages, vegetable gardens and other plots of land (most of spring, autumn and all summer). Shovels, hoes, rakes and various types of cultivators are used.
People who spend a lot of time working the land love to take care of it - they are perfectly familiar with how hard it is to dig and bite, how much the back aches after that. Even people with good physical strength experience similar sensations. And what can we say about the elderly and those who are faced with back problems?
To facilitate and speed up the work with the land will help the cultivator "Tornado" root remover, which you can buy through the Internet site right now.
Your back won't hurt anymore!
The design of the "Tornado" root remover allows you to easily enter the ground even with little effort and pull out the weeds completely from the roots. When cultivating the land with a hoe, only the upper part of the weeds is removed, and the roots remain in the depths of the earth and they may grow again. This will not happen with the root remover.
How does the Tornado manual cultivator root remover work?
- Place the root remover straight over the weed and apply a little pressure so that the tines enter the ground a little.
- Then rotate it approximately 60 degrees. The helical teeth will go into the ground to a depth of about 20 cm.
- Then remove the tool along with the weed and its roots.
More detailed information about the operation of the Tornado root remover can be found by watching the video.
When working with a hoe or shovel, you assume an uncomfortable reclining position, from which the load is unevenly distributed between the muscles of the body. You are constantly in a bent position, the muscles get tired and numb, the spine is loaded, the intervertebral discs are erased, the nerves are pinched. When working with a cultivator, the body position is straight, the back is straight, the load is evenly distributed throughout the body.
When working the land with a shovel, it is necessary to get part of the earth from the depths and lay it on the surface, and then weed it with a hoe. With a cultivator, there is no such need. It simultaneously digs up the earth and loosens it.
Advantages of the Tornado cultivator
The root remover has several advantages over other tools:
- Work in an upright position.The load on the muscles of the back, abs, arms and legs is uniform, which can serve as a substitute for a gym.
- Adjustable handle height for any height for maximum comfort.
- Removing weeds along with roots.
- Replacing the hoe and shovel - both digs and loosens. Processing speed is 3 times faster.
- Cultivation of land near trees and shrubs without damaging their root system.
- Preserves soil microflora, moisture and oxygenates.
- Low cost compared to cordless, electric and air polluting gasoline cultivators.
Feel this effect now by purchasing the Tornado root remover. You don't have to worry about the strength and durability of the tool, because it is made of high quality material. The teeth do not deform even in hard ground. The cultivator can be disassembled, which is very convenient for transportation.

Functionality
It may seem that the electric hoe is such a kind of cultivator, but this is not entirely true. Both of these tools have similar functions, but each has its own principle of operation and its own unique capabilities.
There are several main options for using an electric hoe.
Loosening the earth. This is the main purpose of the instrument. Rotating, the pins crush and loosen clods of earth, grinding them into a homogeneous mass. If necessary, with some effort, the newly loosened soil can be mixed with the soil lying a little deeper by slightly immersing the wheels in the ground.
The main thing is to be careful, because, overdoing it, you can harm the root system of cultivated plants.
Harrowing. Plowing the soil after planting the plants by shallow immersion of the pins.
Weeding
During movement, the wheel captures part of the cut plants, leaving them on the ground.
Trim the edges of the lawn or flower bed. Another functional feature of the device. Trimming with a hoe is much faster and more convenient than using lawn scissors or even manually.
How to work with a flat cutter?
It is better to loosen the soil with a large tool. First you need to mow the weeds with tall stems.If the surface of the soil is heavily overgrown with grass, you need to cover it with black polyethylene. This leaves the weeds with no strength to grow. This work should be done half a month before the beginning of loosening the soil.
So, the tip of the inventory is stuck into the ground and deepened three centimeters. The blade should be set parallel to the ground or slightly tilted. It is strictly forbidden to place it perpendicular to the surface. Further, with a smooth movement, the tool is dragged towards itself. The blade will move and cut the roots of the grass. When working with a flat cutter, you need to carefully monitor that the ground does not move, but remains in the same place. If soil remains at the feet, something has been done wrong with the tool. Perhaps the movements were too fast. With a well-sharpened tool, the work progresses quickly and does not require much effort.
How does it work?
Many users note that, in comparison with other similar models, "Tornado" allows you to prepare the soil to a depth of 20 cm, while all microorganisms remain in it. It is easy to work with the tool: it should be placed on the ground and then turned by the handles 60 degrees. The lever is designed as a concave handle, which is comfortable to use. A little pressure on it is enough for the device to screw into the ground and begin to loosen it, cutting weeds. Thanks to the special design of the teeth, the device even lifts the sod and weed roots, which is very convenient, because you do not need to constantly bend over
Equally important, with such a cultivator you don't have to think about using chemicals to remove weeds - the tool will easily handle even deep roots
Should you buy a Tornado cultivator?
Negative reviews about this tool are usually left by those who prefer to do all the work by hand, believing that no unit can do it better. However, there is still a point in this purchase:
- The cultivator allows you to quickly and easily loosen the soil, even if it is heavily overgrown with grass.
- Tillage is carried out correctly - without disturbing the fertile layer and taking it out, as when working with a shovel.
- The soil is loosened neatly and evenly, without leaving lumps, which means your beds will be soft.
- The thoughtfulness of the working part of the manual cultivator allows you to remove the roots of weeds by turning the lever slightly.
Thus, if you want to make the work on the site much easier and find a worthy alternative to rakes and shovels, then the Tornado cultivator-root remover (reviews of which are almost always only positive) can become your reliable assistant. In addition, this unit is an excellent opportunity to get rid of back and spinal pains, because the "Tornado" has a special design that evenly distributes the load throughout the body.
Device
The Tornado cultivator is a multifunctional garden tool, which consists of a metal base, a semicircular horizontal handle and curved sharp teeth located at the bottom of the rod. The teeth of the structure are turned counterclockwise and have a spiral shape. Because the device is made of 45 grade hardened high-carbon steel, it has increased durability. The design of the cultivator does not have a gearbox (its function is performed by a handle), but in some models the manufacturer has added a convenient pedal. When turning the metal base, the teeth quickly penetrate into the ground to a depth of 20 cm and carry out high-quality loosening, additionally removing weeds between the beds.
The cultivator works very simply. First, a soil cultivation scheme is selected, then the tool is assembled from three parts (it is supplied disassembled), the height of the rod is adjusted for growth and installed in the soil.After that, the rod is rotated 60 or 90 degrees, the lever rule is triggered and the teeth enter the ground. It is much easier to cultivate dry soil, as it "flies" out of the tines on its own; it is more difficult to carry out work with wet soil. In this case, you will have to periodically pull out the cultivator and shake it off of the lumps.
After cultivating the plots with the "Tornado" cultivator, there is no need to use a rake, the plots are immediately ready for planting crops. In addition, the area is simultaneously cleared of weeds. The tool winds their roots around its axis and removes them, which reduces the risk of re-germination. This saves many summer residents from using chemicals when fighting grass. This cultivator is perfect for cultivating virgin lands. In addition, the device can perform the following types of work:
- loosening the land between the beds of already planted crops;
- breakdown of beds when planting vegetables;
- soil treatment around the trunks of bushes and trees;
- harvesting potatoes and other types of root crops.
Operation and maintenance
The simpler the design of the device, the easier and more convenient it is to operate. So it is with Tornado cultivators - the rules for their operation are quite obvious and completely uncomplicated. The tool is easily assembled and takes up a minimum of space when assembled.
The operating instructions for the Tornado cultivator contain information on the assembly of the device, the procedure for working, recommendations and useful tips are given, and safety measures are indicated.
It is characteristic that there are almost no negative reviews of the owners about the work of cultivators. Rather, one comes across ironic opinions about unwillingness to master modern tools, dissatisfaction with attempts to cultivate virgin lands without preliminary preparation.
Advantages and disadvantages
The "Tornado" cultivator is a unique hand-made design that can increase labor efficiency several times. Despite the fact that the performance of the device is in many ways inferior to a motor cultivator, it is significantly superior to conventional garden tools. It is worth considering a few of the main advantages of such a cultivator.
- Ease of use and elimination of stress on the joints and spine. The unique design provides an even load on all muscle groups. During work, arms, legs, shoulders and abs are involved, but at the same time they do not strain. In addition, the instrument can be easily adjusted for any height due to its height adjustment, which results in increased ergonomics and reduced stress on the spine. The work is also simplified by the light weight of the device, which does not exceed 2 kg.
- Simplicity of design. The hand cultivator can be quickly assembled and disassembled. Once dismantled, it comes in three separate parts, making it easy to transport and store.
- Lack of energy consumption. Since the work is carried out at the expense of the physical strength of the owner, the need for fuel and electricity is eliminated.
- High-quality tillage. During the loosening of the earth, its upper layers do not turn over, as happens with ordinary digging with a shovel. Due to this, the soil is better saturated with air and water, earthworms and beneficial microorganisms are preserved in it. This significantly improves soil management. In addition, the tool cleans the plantations from weeds well. He removes not only their upper part, but also turns out the roots.
"Kid" at hand
The simplest aggregate for small beds and greenhouses. It is extremely lightweight and easy to use.
You must have at hand:
- a long handle from an old shovel or a purchased one, three to four cm thick.
- hardwood or metal axle;
- several heavy discs with a diameter of 150 cm cut out by a "grinder" with sharp incisors.
- a corner curved by the letter P across the width of the soil by the discs and sharpened like a knife on the top, better on both sides.
We start assembling:
- Discs are mounted on the cross member, move them apart with equal bushings.
- The unit is screwed to the handle.
- An upside-down metal letter P attaches to the back of the drives. Acts as a horizontal cutter when moving forward and backward.
