About cultivators
Technological progress helps to make agricultural work automated, and one of the achievements is the cultivator - a tool for loosening and weeding the soil.
One of the most popular methods of soil treatment is cultivation.

With the help of a cultivator, you can plow the soil and bury scattered rotted manure into the ground.
Equipping the cultivator with screw cutters allows it to penetrate to a depth sufficient for planting all vegetable crops. In addition, it has additional features that can contribute to the achievement of the ideal garden or vegetable garden. With this device, we can make weeding, level the soil, plant and dig the crop.

Cultivators are divided into groups depending on weight:
- ultralight (up to 15 kg). They are designed for small gardens and land. Power 1.5 hp;
- lungs (up to 40 kg). The power of such a device is from 2 to 4.5 hp;
- medium (45-60 kg). Machine power from 4 to 6 hp;
- heavy (over 60 kg). Weight depends on nozzles used. Power over 6 hp
Types of cultivators
Depending on the method of tillage, cultivators are divided into:
- manual;
- automatic (motor-cultivators).
A manual cultivator for giving is always useful to those who have a plot. Find out the advantages and disadvantages of a manual cultivator.
Cultivators, in turn, are divided into:
- petrol;
- electrical;
- rechargeable.
Important! In a gasoline cultivator you need to control the formation of soot, because of its occurrence there are frequent engine failures.
Petrol motor-cultivators have unlimited radius of movement and are multifunctional, thanks to the hinged equipment. Among the minuses of the device can be identified a lot of weight, the need for refueling and maintenance.Electric cultivators are light, they do not need additional refueling. The weight of such a device is from 5 to 22 kilograms, the noise level and vibration are minimal. Service of the device will not make special work, it is possible to transport it in unassembled form.
The disadvantage of this device can be called its dependence on electricity, the restriction of the length of the cord and the low power of the device (700-2500 W), and therefore the processing of large areas is impossible. 
The engine of the battery pack takes energy from the battery installed in the device, the socket is not needed during operation. This will allow you to use the device away from power sources, for example, take it far out to the field. Among the advantages of the battery device can also be distinguished compactness and lightness.
Important! The battery in the cultivator should not be completely discharged, otherwise the service life of the equipment will be reduced.
The downside of such a device is a low operating time (from 30 to 60 minutes), which depends on the load and model. After that, the device needs recharging, which takes about 8 hours. The battery life of the device averages 200 cycles. 
Choosing a cultivator
When choosing a cultivator, you need to decide for which soil it will be used, and mean the area of the cultivated area. For small gardens or greenhouses, an electric or battery cultivator would be more suitable, for large fields - gasoline.
The cultivator is great for cases where manual handling is already cumbersome. Consider how to choose an inexpensive and reliable motor-cultivator.Before buying, you should pay attention to the presence of a special cutter for processing difficult types of soil, this is especially important for virgin and clay soils. It is also worth looking at the width of the unit: a wide grip will cope with large tracts of land, and weeding is narrow between the beds.
It is also necessary to check the quality of the knives - the main tool for tillage. If they are high quality and steel, they will be able to serve for a long time. 
The advantage will be the presence in the apparatus of several speeds. It is also desirable that the device brake lever was, not push-button. A push button motor cultivator takes time to stop, which can cause inconvenience.

Cultivator feedback from the network
The majority of medium cultivators (conditionally, 4 - 5 hp and 60 cm width) can be attached with metal lugs of one form or another and an excavator for cutting furrows. Our plowmen have adapted even to spud inter-rows - for this purpose, the lugs are placed without extension cords - close to the gearbox. The cultivator becomes a roll, but walks through the aisle, pulling a hiller. Besides the most powerful cultivators, you can also hook on the plow and the digger. I warn you right away - there may not be enough grip weight - it will rummage, but it will not sneak. Need to weight.

In principle, they are all cultivators. Only it so happened that cultivators with a large number of possible functions are called as motoblocks. If the device has 2 - 3 gears forward, 1 - back, equipped with nominally rubber wheels - we consider this a walk-behind tractor. He will be able to transport the cart, install the mower, snow thrower, blade, brush and other mounted implements, as well as metal metal lugs for working with a plow, hiller, digger. If the gears are 1 forward, or 1 forward, back, and nominally no rubber wheels, we consider this a cultivator. He is able to do less - those that small ones can carry an excavator for cutting furrows, and those that can still carry more plows and a digger. This, except, of course, the cultivation, all its possibilities. Choose from them taking into account what is required of him. Keep in mind that the entire hinge will have to buy extra. Mark - do not wait, I will not tell you :).

You walk through the virgin soil a couple of times with a cultivator, collect the turf, and only then with a plow, while the plow is moved one division, reducing the grip, improve the stroke of the MB and the quality of plowing, by the way the plow should be adjusted to the depth and inclination. , 18 years of work and nothing, it is necessary to treat work on the ground wisely, as in any business, and take into account that MB is a technique. The motor-cultivator is especially light, suitable for 6 acres on light soil, of course, you can also process everything, but for a long time. What concerns heavy MBs, such as Agros, MTZ-0, 5, "Bison", etc., it makes no sense to buy, if the land is less than 20 acres. This technique, for those who have a personal farmstead, or personal subsidiary farm, for the summer resident money to the wind. Of course, he plows better and faster and t But what is the point of rushing 10 acres twice a year? In this there is a difference, besides functions, take a small area with a small cultivator, an average medium, a large large one.

You can insert your own penny. I have a petrol cultivator "Leader" with a Chinese engine and a Hitachi S169 petrol walking tractor with a Japanese Subaru-Robin engine. The cultivator was used once for the whole season, only once in spring, i.e. in mid-May, when the soil dried out a little. it is good only for loosening in beds with curbs, but after that it stands idle all year long. The motoblock is more versatile for its intended purpose. It can plow and loosen around 15sotok.And spud and carries a trolley. In winter it can remove snow using a snow blower nozzle "Megaladon 0.6". All both tech. Iki require physical effort and technical knowledge. My wife often uses an attachment - a cultivator with an MTD trimmer, because it is easier for her to stick the plug into the outlet than to pull the cord from the gasoline engine starter.

tuger! Cultivator Mole us zakomy for technique. I repaired a friend several times. This car is good and easy to repair. But it all depends on the owner himself. Our motor-cultivator the Leader is capable only to mill the soil and all. So I decided to choose a walker. I adapted the old Skif trailer to the walk-behind tractor, replacing the hook-to-hook fastener tube welded to the channel. At the place where the spare wheel lay, I put a plastic chair (retired from the stadium) on the frame. Not long ago, the motor-block snow blower "Megaladon 0.6" was brought to us, tomorrow I will test it at the dacha. Then otpishu

A motor-cultivator for light work should be weighing no more than 50kg, Salyut, Neva and their import counterparts are motorblocks, despite the differences in the number of speeds, etc. motor-cultivator is a light machine. The difference, including in the west, is, first of all, weight, but not engine power and the number of functions performed. Dear tuger, I have no doubt in your competence, but I do not belong to lovers of digging and self-made. Человек спросил , я высказал своё, ЛИЧНОЕ мнение и не более того. Вести с кем либо диспуты, кроме задаюших конкретные вопросы не имею желания, хотя бы потому что не считаю чью то точку зрения, отличную от моей, неправильной.

Agates! Поздравляю с покупкой. У меня был бензиновый культиватор "Лидер" с китайским движком 4 года назад, а в прошлом году продал его и купил мотоблок Хитачи S169 с японским движком "Субару" "и снегоуборщик "Мегаллодон 0,6"в магазине- интернете "Все инструменты"… И еще грунтозацепы и однорядный окучник, сцепку, фрезы "Гусиные лапки" от" Целины". We do not need a plow, because the whole area has already been processed. In winter, to start without a problem, if you fill the gasoline AI 95, and in the summer AI 93. Do not forget to buy a belt, although 2 pcs. in stock. In many tillers the belts are torn after 4-5 seasons. Especially with a snow blower.
