what is difference between rotary tiller and rotoavator
I've always thought of tillers as being fairly light-weight,
lower-powered machines, appropriate to turning over soil that's already
fairly loose and cultivated, whereas rotavators are heavier,
more powerful and better suited to opening up rough uncultivated ground.
But I think the terms are used fairly flexibly. Some are also called
'cultivators'. If you want a machine for a particular job, read the
specifications to see if it's suitable rather than just relying on what
it's called.
and remember that you need to be pretty strong to use any of them
effectively.
I think a rotary tiller is in the USA, and a rotovator in the UK. But ICBW.
My father bought a Howard 350 many years ago, and that didn't require
much strength - it only needed steering. A great contrast to the
previous machine, which would run away across the garden given half a
chance. It had non-driven wheels.
