Lastly, a couple of years ago I bought a 6.5Hp Tiller/Rotovator With
Forward and Reverse Drive. on Ebay

Yes they're a real boon. I bought one (new) on eBay 3 years ago. Not
sure what the HP is, but they make weeding a lot easier by softening
the soil.

I use it on my allotment and also on the lady next doors', we're both
65 so every little bit helps. Got my 4th (and last) row of 'earlies'
in today. Quite pleased as there's some rain forecast for tonight

We may have the same model David. Just looked through my ebay a/c and
it's a Maxtra at 6.5 hp.

It can be a bit of a pita if the soil is damp. My neighbour has a
lighter weight rotovator (with wheels at rear) and he prefers to use it
in wetter soil.


Looks the same thing, mine has a white petrol tank

Bought it for doing the paths between the dahlia beds as my Pasquali is
to large for that job, It would be good on light soil for general use.
