To put the record straight, a cultivator, a rotovator and a tiller are all the same thing, an earth turning machine of varying size that is equipped with rotating metal tines that are normally powered by a petrol engine. They are designed to save hours of backbreaking work with spade in hand and can produce a variety of different end results depending on the cultivator or tiller that you choose. It is possible to break into virgin ground with a heavy-duty cultivator, transforming otherwise neglected or unused terrain into a vegetable garden or fine lawn. With a mini tiller it is possible to prepare small areas of vegetable garden for seeding or, if applicable, use it to remove weeds from between rows of existing crops without resorting to the use of a hoe. When buying one of the larger rear tine tillers it is worth considering whether it is adaptable to other accessories such as mowing decks or snow blowers, increasing its range of applications significantly. There really is a cultivator, a rotovator or a tiller for every gardening application you can think of with multiple accessories and attachments available to help you get best value from your initial purchase.
