Means of small-scale mechanization can greatly facilitate hard work on the ground.The cultivator is the most common equipment for processing small allotments and household plots.

This review presents the best models with electric and gasoline engines of different capacities. The rating was made in several categories based on the characteristics of the models and the operating experience of some users.

How to choose a cultivator?

The choice of a cultivator, as well as the choice of other equipment, should be based on the key characteristics inherent in it. In order not to regret the choice made, to find the ideal model that can last for many years without serious complaints and breakdowns, pay attention to the following points.

Engine power. This characteristic is the very first and most important. Choosing a high power cultivator will increase fuel and maintenance costs, while a low power one can simply fail from overload.

Reducer type. This parameter largely determines the dimensions of the cultivator. If compactness is important to you, then a worm gear cultivator will be an ideal option. For larger models, chain and gear types of step-down devices are used.

Cultivator weight. Here things are somewhat different. The situation is twofold: the lighter the walk-behind tractor, the easier it is to manage, but the performance leaves much to be desired. Therefore, the selection of this characteristic is purely individual and depends on the preferences of the user himself.

The presence of a reverse. Reverse is very useful when the working element tightens or jams when moving forward. Therefore, its presence in the functions will be a good plus when choosing a cultivator.

Maximum width and depth of processing. These parameters characterize the speed of work on the cultivation and plowing of the land. Models with different types of engines have different width and depth thresholds, since the aforementioned power plays a key role here.

Gasoline, diesel or electric engine?

engine's type

Advantages

Flaws

Petrol

+ Resourceful and powerful

+ Not tied, like an electric motor, to a power source

+ When colliding with an obstacle, it stalls, preventing the windings from burning out

+ Provides good plowing and cultivation speeds

- Requires periodic maintenance

- Low cost compared to electric motor

- Very noisy

Diesel

+ High power and performance

+ Autonomous, unlike an electric motor

+ High tillage speeds

- As a rule, it is installed only on heavy cultivators

- Makes a lot of noise

- High fuel consumption

Electric

+ Affordable power source (the cost of electricity is lower than the price of liquid fuel)

+ Quiet and lightweight

+ Does not require regular maintenance

- Requires a permanent connection to the mains or battery

- Inefficient, since it develops less power than an internal combustion engine

The best light class gasoline cultivators (for summer cottages and a small plot)

Light cultivators equipped with gasoline engines are ideal for cultivating land in summer cottages and gardens up to ten acres. Plowing is done quickly and without much effort, but the noise of the engine is guaranteed to cause discomfort not only for the user, but also for patient neighbors. They are economical compared to more powerful counterparts, but require periodic maintenance.Otherwise, this is a good technique that can bring tangible benefits from use.

The best light and medium class electric cultivators

Electric cultivators can be called "delicate" equipment, since their advantages lie not in high power and the high productivity that goes with it. They are ideal for processing small suburban areas up to five acres, but, alas, they are not always capable of more. Such cultivators are distinguished by lightness and small dimensions, noiseless operation of the electric motor and efficiency. The disadvantages include an extremely acute dependence on the power source. Since not all models are capable of running on battery power, some of them have to be powered from the mains, which, to put it mildly, is very inconvenient.

The best cultivators of the middle class

Middle-class cultivators are used for cultivating the land both in small and large summer cottages, and they do it very well. They are more powerful than their light counterparts, more mobile and lighter than the most high-performance cultivators, and represent the “golden mean”. In fairness, it is worth noting the shortcomings. For some, even the middle class may seem overall. In addition, they all use a predominantly gasoline engine, the operation of which is accompanied by a lot of noise. But, despite the minor disadvantages, it is to such models that the greater interest of potential buyers is riveted, since they are the best option for all user needs.

The best heavy class cultivators

Heavy cultivators are real aggregates for performing large volumes of work. The expediency of buying such equipment for small summer cottages is doubtful, but for vast areas of land for plowing, it is ideal. In the vast majority of cases, heavy cultivators are equipped with a diesel engine, which gives good working power, which, however, requires periodic maintenance and produces a lot of noise. Nevertheless, a technique of this level will significantly increase productivity and in a matter of minutes will deal with the area provided to it for processing.
