Motor Cultivators

Motor cultivators: what are they for and how to choose them? 

Motor cultivators are special agricultural units with an engine that perform mechanical loosening, cultivation, and soil treatment using rotating milling cutters.

Motor cultivators are needed for shallow soil digging - loosening it to destroy weeds, mixing applied fertilizers, and mechanically hilling planted plants. 

These units genuinely simplify most agricultural tasks - just as, for example, snow blowers handle snow removal where manual labor would make the task quite difficult.  

The following types of motor cultivators exist:

• By engine type, the following motor cultivators are distinguished: gasoline (top among users due to their power), electric (convenient, but only suitable for small areas), battery-powered (eco-friendly, but with limited operating time), diesel (with high power and productivity);
• By power level and weight, light (up to 40 kg), medium (40-60 kg), and heavy (up to 100 kg) motor cultivators are distinguished;
• Depending on the type of gearbox installed in the unit models, there are: worm, chain, and gear motor cultivators. 

Motor cultivators are used in the following stages of agricultural work:

• Before planting crops or after harvesting, this unit can quickly and effectively loosen the soil, which helps distribute fertilizers in the soil, eliminate soil crust, and destroy weeds;
• This equipment can also perform inter-row soil cultivation to destroy weeds and loosen the soil;
• It is quite convenient to use a hiller for creating beds and for hilling crops;
• The modern unit helps level the soil before sowing and also shred plant residues after harvesting. 

You can choose the right motor cultivator by considering the area of the plot that needs cultivation, the type of soil, and understanding the priority tasks of agricultural work. By the way, reliable and proven models of walk-behind tractors are available on our website with detailed descriptions.
