The most popular and reliable cultivators: an overview of the modern market

It is easier to understand the features of different models using specific examples. Next, we will discuss the technique of several classes.

Pay attention to general characteristics and notes when comparing

Additional functions

Well, at the end, you can find out whether the cultivator has a reverse gear, whether it is convenient for maneuvering on different plots of land, including narrow ones. Another important characteristic is whether there is a Stop switch on the cultivator. It should be noted that on some models of cultivators there is a button with the same name. However, in the event of an emergency or unforeseen situation, if there is a button, you will have to hold it until the cultivator stops, which is not possible in all cases. Whereas the switch will work automatically the moment you release the control handle.

And a few more tips. When choosing a drive mechanism from an engine to a cutter, or a transmission, keep in mind that it can be of two types - worm and chain. The first type of transmission is inferior in all characteristics to a chain transmission and can negatively affect the life of your cultivator. Therefore, the best option is a chain transmission, which transmits almost 100% of the torque and does not allow the cutters to cut into the soil.

It is also better to choose cultivators with adjustable handle height. The best option is 3-4 levels, which will allow you and your environment to choose the appropriate mode for each individually.

If you want the cultivator to be more stable during transport, choose models with a front transport wheel. This simplifies the work with the equipment and allows you to direct the car to the place you need.
