My rotavator has caused a few laughs when we get it off the trailer,
quite rightly so. It's an old bit of kit. Ancient when compared with
modern machines. The thing is that this ancient monster will cover
2'(600mm) in one pass. Yes 2 feet.

That is some beast and must be fairly powerful to turn a head that
wide. I hope someone borrowing it doesn't come across stony ground.
There was an old, fairly ancient, stone footpath running under the
garden here which, over time, I've dug out. Neighbours were having a
new lawn laid and I didn't think to mention it to them. The
contractor's apprentice was using a normal sized petrol rotovator on
the ground. Hit the path and the machine jumped into the air and flew
a few feet with him hanging on and almost screaming with fright!

There is a big difference between being dragged along by a Gem and
being able to use it properly.


Yes there is. And in spring I am hoping to be able to use this Gem as it
was intended. Just need to read the instructions properly, and they are a
bit confusing. If you have read them you will know what I mean.
