Description
The Rotavator is a fantastic tool which combines a proven blade design with a high rotor speed to produce a fine tilth in even the most demanding conditions.
Features
The rotavator is available in 5 different widths, from 46cm (18”) to 85cm (34”), depending on the power unit that it is to be fitted to.A high rotor speed and a proven blade design will produce a fine seed bed finish and prepare perfect ground for growing.
The digging speed can be controlled via the throttle for varying ground conditions, use a slower speed for breaking up the earth and then a faster speed to produce a finer tilth. The digging depth is easily adjusted via the lever on top of the box.
The stability of the machine combined with large wheels, ensures that there is little or no downward pressure on the handlebars required.
The centre knife breaks up the middle ground ensuring the entire width is rotavated and the heavy-duty J-shaped blades help to prevent formation of a hard pan.
For safety, the rotavator will not operate (spin) whilst the machine is in reverse.
An optional transport wheel is available which slots into the back of the rotavator to make moving the machine around site easier.
