What kind of agricultural work can be done with a tiller?

The tiller is one of the modern kinds of equipment that farmers are considering purchasing to prepare the soil for planting and crop care. The tiller may be used for a broad range of tasks and is made to make people's jobs easier.

What can be done with a tiller, and what is it?

The tiller, also known as a cultivator (or rototiller, rotavator, motor hoe, power tiller, walk-behind tractor, etc.), is an agricultural machine that helps people cope with the soil preparation work that needs to be done in order to cultivate plants. People can opt for either an electric or fuel-powered tiller, allowing different types of attachments to be attached to facilitate many different types of work.

The machine prepares the soil before planting by tilling and loosening it so it can also be used for sowing. The cultivator is usually small in size, especially if used for home use, and is extremely efficient in preparing the soil for cultivation. The tiller can climb hills, operate in shallow water, on uneven terrain, and easily moving its tiller, specially designed for lowland as well as hilly regions, dry as well as wet land, orchards, vegetable gardens, and greenhouses, and the list goes on.

The main functions of the tiller are tilling, aeration, and ridging, and if various attachments are attached, it can also be used for irrigation, pesticide and water spreading, crop harvesting and electricity generation, soil fertilization and crop sowing, as well as hedge trimming and seed grinding or ripening.

Tiller-type products have a simple structure, easy maintenance, and low fuel consumption, making them ideal for micro-agriculture, for those who need a helping hand in their family's daily work.

Belt-transmission Tiller vs. PTO-transmission tiller – differences in activities

Both these tillers can perform a multitude of agricultural works, which can cause confusion when buyers decide to invest in one of these two machines. However, they differ in terms of their capabilities, but also in terms of the purpose of use.

While the tiller is used for tilling and loosening the field, on surfaces that do not exceed half a hectare, the tiller copes with any type of terrain, being able to be used on any kind of field, especially on slopes, stony or difficult terrain field. The tiller only works till soils and does not penetrate to depths greater than 20 cm, while the tiller reaches up to 25 cm deep and has cutting widths of up to 110 cm.

The main element that makes the difference between these two machines is the power take-off with which the tiller is equipped, one is the belt-transmission type tiller, and the other is the PTO transmission type tiller. All of these tillers are designed to plant seeds, having dosing and planting capacity, as well as covering. The tiller, on the other hand, is designed to till the soil and plow the land softly.
