How to choose a gasoline cultivator for dacha?

Many novice gardeners face a difficult choice when looking for their first cultivator for the countryside: the range offered by the largest manufacturers of garden equipment is replete with variety. Light and heavy, budget and expensive - giving preference to this or that model, pay attention to the following indicators:

• Class - For small plots with already cultivated soil, there is no need to buy a heavy machine. Such cultivators are powerful, but clumsy. Not every dacha owner is able to cope with them. It makes sense to buy a heavy class cultivator if you need to plow virgin land or treat a large area of dense, problematic soil.
• Working depth and width - The heavier and more powerful is the cultivator, the greater these figures are, and the higher is the price, respectively.
• Gearbox type - The main unit of the cultivator. The cheapest - worm, but such reducers are unreliable. It is better to choose devices with chain, gear or gear-chain reducers.
• Engine power - The more complex the area to be worked, the more powerful the motor must be. Particular attention should be paid to the power of the motor when choosing a cultivator for cultivating virgin land.
• Weight - Lightweight units are more manageable, but it is much easier to plow hard soil with a heavy cultivator. Lightweight units on virgin soil can be absolutely useless.
• Number of speeds - not every cultivator is equipped with a gearbox, so the presence of the rear and additional front gear is considered a significant advantage.

To choose the right machine, you can analyze each model according to all important criteria, or you can use our rating, in which we have done all the basic work.
