Probably the most recognisable form of rotovator and the machine that we associate most with soil preparation, the mid tine tiller has been the workhorse of market gardeners and vegetable growers for many years, offering robust and dependable performance. For most manufacturers the style has changed little during this time with simplicity of operation the key to these machines, equipped with robust and powerful petrol engines that drive the heavy-duty tines into compacted earth and hard soil. If you are buying a rotovator to maintain a large vegetable plot and only intend to use it for this purpose, a mid tine tiller is an ideal machine choice.
