The owners of small summer cottages have long no longer needed to manually dig up the beds with a shovel, spending time and a lot of effort on this. That's what cultivators are for. Moreover, they cannot be called a luxury - many models are quite affordable, but at the same time they have enough power to quickly and effortlessly put the summer cottage in order. Gardeners can choose from gasoline and electric models of different power, weight and design. The most popular and best cultivators will be considered in this ranking.
The most popular petrol cultivators
Gasoline cultivators are the most common for a number of reasons - they have enough power to cope with a large plot of land of a couple of acres, they are often equipped with various additional features.

5 Huter GMC-6.5
Country: Germany (Produced in China)
Average price: 20140 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Due to the high-quality assembly and reliability of Chinese parts, this cultivator is popular not only among summer residents and residents of the individual sector - it is often purchased by urban utilities for land work. In the reviews of Huter owners, you can find high marks not only for the unit itself, but also for its great functionality.
With the help of additional equipment (and there is more than enough power for this - 6.5 hp), you can remove snow, mow grass, dig and plant potatoes, carry out hilling, transport goods, etc. The high popularity of this reliable motor-cultivator is also facilitated by the excellent performance for its intended purpose - during cultivation, the width of the land is almost a meter, and the depth of immersion of the cutters is sufficient to loosen the fertile soil layer.

Country: Russia (Produced in China)
Average price: 22400 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Another cultivator, assembled in the Celestial Empire, is among the top most popular on the Russian market.This model is deservedly considered the most durable and high-quality in its price category. Chinese components have long possessed qualities that are in no way inferior to European counterparts. For this reason, there has been a constant increase in sales (the last three years) of agricultural machinery of this brand.
The model has small dimensions and is very convenient when used for processing areas with a limited area (in greenhouses or flower beds). In the reviews, the owners express their pleasure from the multifunctionality of the cultivator (with the help of additional nozzles it cleans snow, mows grass, etc.) and notes its unpretentiousness in operation. There are, of course, bad reviews, but their main reason is the gross violation by the owners of the rules for operating the unit and the banal neglect of the recommended maintenance of the cultivator at specified intervals.
3 Neva MK-70-B5.0 RS
Country: Russia
Average price: 29800 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Despite the lightness, this cultivator has a large traction force, exceeding the weight of the unit by 20 kg. This allows him to cultivate virgin lands in summer cottages on a par with models of a higher class. The Briggs&Stratton gasoline engine provides the mechanism with sufficient power - 5 hp. The weight of the installation is only 44 kg, which was the reason for the absence of a reverse in the design.
Spare parts are always on sale, which cannot be said about European or Chinese cultivators, and the simplicity and reliability of the design has minimized the likelihood that these spare parts will be needed. The great popularity of a reliable motor cultivator is explained not only by its wide distribution in the country.In the reviews, the owners indicate a sufficient tillage width - up to 97 cm, economy and high power - when installing wheels, the cultivator is capable of transporting a small cart. The only inconvenience in this operation is the lack of reverse gear.
2 Tarpan TMZ-MK-03
Country: Russia
Average price: 24500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
The great popularity of Tarpan is due to the simple, reliable design and high quality of the power plant. In the role of the latter, the cultivator uses an imported American-made engine. It was with the advent of a reliable and hardy Briggs & Stratton motor that the unprofitable enterprise was reanimated and mass production was established. Since 1997, Tarpan has gradually become one of the most popular and popular means of small-scale mechanization, successfully solving the tasks of processing small plots of land.

Despite the Chinese assembly, this cultivator is the best in all respects and the most popular among connoisseurs of high-quality and reliable equipment. It belongs to the equipment that will work for years, plowing beds and virgin soil with equal ease.The heavy-duty cultivator is powered by a four-stroke gasoline engine with a resource of at least 2500 hours. And its maximum power is 7 horsepower! The maximum tillage depth is 30 cm, the strip width is 95 cm.
This is the best option for those who value reliable technology and aim to cultivate large areas of land.

It is thanks to the weight that the equipment handles even the most dense and heavy soils with ease. According to user reviews, it is very pleasant and easy to work with it - thanks to good torque, it does not stall even if it bumps into stones, it easily cuts thick roots and sticks.
The most popular electric cultivators
Electric cultivators have less power, cope worse with dense soils and virgin soil, and require a power source. But at the same time they weigh much less, are easier to maintain and operate. It is for this reason that they are very popular among summer residents and gardeners who need to plow small areas of regularly cultivated land. Due to the compact size of some electric models, they can plow the ground to a shallow depth even in fruit plantings, and their light weight allows women and pensioners to work with the equipment.

Rating (2022): 4.6
In appearance, this model does not resemble a classic cultivator, but rather a trimmer.It has a very low power (250 W), a small depth of tillage (about 12 cm), but it is very popular among gardeners. The reason is the best cultivator for processing difficult areas under fruit trees, flower beds, greenhouses.

But a lot depends on the purpose of the acquisition - if you need to shallowly process flower beds and other similar areas, weed paths throughout the season, then you won’t find a better option. If full-fledged digging is required, of course, it is worth stopping at more serious and powerful models.

The Chinese model of medium power (0.95 kW) will please gardeners who need to dig up limited areas of soil or beds in small greenhouses during the off-season. The processing depth is about 20 cm, the width is 25 cm. Due to its low weight (12 kg), even a fragile woman can work with it, and the high rotation speed of the cutters (320 rpm) ensures high-quality loosening of the soil, turning it into fluff.

3 ELITECH KB 4E
Country: China
Average price: 19000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
This Chinese cultivator is quite popular among garden owners. It successfully combines high power (2 kW), optimal weight (32 kg), plowing depth adjustment, quiet operation (90 dB), good build quality and low cost. It easily plows regularly cultivated land to the depth of a shovel bayonet, due to sufficient weight it does not have to exert much effort - it goes into the ground itself. The width of the plowed strip of land is 45 cm.
In the reviews, some users write that they did not expect such power and speed from an inexpensive electric cultivator. It literally rushes forward, turning even fairly dense earth into fluff. For a Chinese model, the assembly is of high quality, the materials are not bad. Of the minuses - some users do not have enough forward gear and cause some inconvenience to the power cord. But the last drawback is typical for all electric models.

It belongs to the light class cultivators, but compared to most electric models it has a very good power - 2.50 kW (3.40 hp). It is much more pleasant to work with it than with a gasoline cultivator, as there are no exhaust gases and strong vibration. The noise level is also much lower.
