What is a Rotary Tiller & what are they used for?

A rotary tiller is a motorised cultivator specifically used to cultivate an area of land by utilising a series of blades crafted to break through clumps of soil, moisturise the soil, as well as pulverise the soil to create the perfect seedbed.

A rotary tiller is mainly used to help prepare soil for the growth of plants and to gain a higher and healthier harvest. Self-propelled rotary tillers are principally used for smaller pieces of land such as smaller fields, whereas on a larger scale of land such as a farm, a rotary tiller is drawn as an attachment at the rear of a tractor. Additional uses of a rotary tiller include the use of the equipment to clear the outer walls of oilfield pipes and to prepare land for road construction.

How is a Rotary Tiller operated?

Heavy-duty rotary tillers are operated differently on two-wheel tractors and three- or four-wheel tractors. These cultivators are rigidly attached to two-wheel tractors and generate power from the transmission of the tractor. On a three-wheel tractor, a rotary tiller is driven by a power take-off shaft.

A set of curved blades attached to a rotating shaft is what is used in a rotary tiller and is powered by a tractor's take-off shaft. These powerful tines penetrate and churn the soil, essentially refining the land and creating a clump-free seedbed for harvest.

A rotary tiller is assumed to prepare one hectare of land for harvest within 8 to 10 hours. The timing may decrease if you have a high-powered tractor.

As with any equipment, regular maintenance is critical in ensuring the longevity of the equipment and extreme caution must be observed when operating a rotary tiller.
