Rotovators

[TIMON]

Interesting feedback, cheers. They are quite pricey though. You never know, I might find a bargain. Ive got 5 weeks to find something before I come home. 

Spend some of yer hard earned petro-dollars you tight git. [emoji51]

 Thats the plan! Also looking for a Road Tow Log Processor, so gotta watch the pennies.

Worth keeping an eye out for a pedestrian power harrow. Less "pully" than a rotovator and doesnt form a pan just below the tine level, important if you're repeatedly tilling the same patch of ground.
A power harrow will also spread compost or manure for you, just dump a Barrow in front of it and drive through it with the tines just touching the ground!
A company called Rinaldi make a version comparable with various two wheeled tractors

Thanks for the info.  Another name to google search, cheers. 

 

Good tips on forming a Pan below the Tine level, good info. 

 

Cheers.

Not being pedantic, but its Dowding.

Could literally go the whole hog and get a few pigs to do it for you. It's a rotovator you can eat!

Now thats another brilliant idea! I have a mate that keeps a few Saddle Backs and sells the Pigglets off each time they are up the spout. I bought a couple last year for a Spit Roast, was amazing! 

 

A Couple of them rooting around will soon have the ground nicely churned over! They seem to be a right bugger for escaping though.

Train them to an electric fence when they're young and they're not so bad.

A couple maybe, a whole litter grown up don't fall over in front of them.
