Achievements in the equipment have stepped far ahead. Today for processing of the earth, removal of weeds on the parcel you should not spend many forces and energy. The motor-cultivator will help to cope with it to you.
Classification of motor-cultivators: weight and power
Allocate motor-cultivators: extralight, easy, average and heavy.
Extralight. Because of the small weight (up to 15 kg) both young, and elderly people can cope with management of these models. Similar 1.5 hp motor-cultivators are used for care for lawns, beds. Are suitable for loosening of the soil for depth to 8 cm. Capture of mills in width makes 20-30 cm, this characteristic gives the chance to use cultivator in hard-to-reach spots for scarification, weeding of weeds.
Lungs. Are suitable for territories to 10 hundred parts. Weight does not exceed 40 kg, and engine capacity – from 2.5 to 4.5 hp. Gets into the soil on depth up to 18 cm. Performance of such models exceeds performance extralight twice, it is caused by working width of mills in 40-50 cm.
Averages. Parameters of these models (weight – up to 60 kg, power – up to 6 hp) give to motor-cultivators stability that distinguishes them from easy options. Depth of processing of soils – 28 cm. Lack of these models is the inconvenience of work in hard-to-reach spots. Is suitable for the parcels at 10-30 of hundred parts. Heavy. Weight exceeds 60 kg, engine capacity – 6 hp. Are applied to sites at 30-50 of hundred parts. If the weight of motor-cultivators is made by from 50 to 200 kg, it includes the gearbox which allows to change quantity of turns of mills. Big weight is lost considerably by degree of maneuverability of the unit.
Electric or gasoline engine?
Today in the market models with the electric engine are popular. They are easy-to-work, do not demand gas station. It is necessary to connect motor-cultivator to network of power supply and it is possible to get to work. However it is necessary to be careful as there is probability not only to get confused in wire or to extend it from the socket, but also to get hit with electric current. The feature of such devices is that such motor-cultivators do not pollute the environment. Consider if you, wire lengths on all territory can have very big parcel insufficiently. More difficult in operation cultivators with the two-stroke gasoline engine, using mix of gasoline and oil, and four-stroke – on pure gasoline. Advantage of petrol models - in their functionality, in opportunity to cultivate sites of the different sizes, scarification deeply.
