The purpose of a tractor rotavator is to break up the soil it comes into contact with through the rotors. So with this in mind, the people who may need a rotavator can vary. If you’re someone who works within the food farming industry and needs loose soil to prepare your land before planting seeds, you will benefit from a rotavator. However, it is not just big tasks where a rotavator is beneficial. If you have a garden you want to lay new turf in or an allotment that needs turning over before the new season’s veg prep, a rotavator will save you hours of time and plenty of backache!
There are plenty of benefits of using a tractor rotavator. We have identified some of the main reasons you should be prioritising rotavating below.
A rotavator tills the soil, breaking it down into smaller particles, so roots can grow more easily and access nutrients and water more effectively.
By turning over the soil, a rotavator buries the weeds and their seeds, thereby reducing weed growth.
Regular use of a rotavator will improve the soil structure, so it’s better for planting and better crop yields.
A tractor attachment like a rotavator will save you time and effort compared to digging by hand or using smaller handheld tools.
As is the case when choosing the right machine for any job, there are a few factors to consider. When choosing a tractor rotavator, be sure to consider the following. If you have any questions, get in touch with the Oxdale team and we’ll guide you through the process.
Make sure the rotavator is compatible with your tractor’s power and hitch system. This is especially important for compact tractors, which require a smaller, lighter attachment.
The width of the rotavator should match your farming operation. Wider rotavators cover more ground quicker but require more power.
Look for rotavators with robust tines attached to a rotating drum to suit your soil type, clay, loam or sandy soil.
Go for heavy-duty rotavators made from good-quality materials that are easy to maintain and have spare parts available.
Tractor Rotavators are simple machines to use. We have pulled together this very simple guide on how to use a tractor rotavator efficiently and safely.
Remove large debris and rocks from the field to prevent damage to the tines.
Adjust the rotavator to the desired tilling depth. This will depend on the crop you are planting.
Start slow to make sure the rotavator is working properly and adjust as needed.
Make overlapping passes to cover the soil and till evenly.
Clean and inspect the rotavator regularly to keep it running and long-lasting.
