Rotary Tillers

Rotary Tillers for Tractors – Professional Soil Cultivation

A rotary tiller is one of the most essential implements for any farm or smallholding. At Motofarma you will find a wide range of mounted rotary tillers designed for tractors between 25 and 80 HP. Driven by the PTO shaft at 540 rpm, they deliver thorough and even soil tillage to a depth of up to 25 cm – whether you are working in a garden, orchard or open field.

Applications of Rotary Tillers

Gardens and Orchards

For inter-row cultivation in orchards and vegetable gardens, rotary tillers with a working width of 1.0–1.2 m are the best choice. Their compact size allows easy manoeuvring around trees and shrubs, providing precise weeding and aeration without excessive drying of the topsoil.

Fields and Agricultural Plots

On larger surfaces such as crop fields or meadows, models with a working width of 1.4–1.6 m are ideal. A PTO-driven active rotary tiller can prepare the seedbed in a single pass, saving both time and tractor fuel.

How to Choose the Right Rotary Tiller for Your Tractor?

The key parameters are tractor horsepower and working width. As a rule of thumb, every 10 cm of working width requires approximately 5–7 HP. A 1.2 m tiller suits tractors of 35–50 HP, while a 1.6 m model requires at least 60–80 HP. Always verify that your tractor has a 540 rpm PTO and a compatible Category I or II three-point hitch.

FAQ

Which rotary tiller suits a small 25–35 HP tractor?

For tractors rated at 25–35 HP, we recommend mounted rotary tillers with a 1.0–1.2 m working width. Lighter models with depth-control wheels make depth adjustment easy and avoid overloading the hydraulic system of smaller tractors.

Can a rotary tiller replace a cultivator?

A rotary tiller breaks up and mixes the soil more intensively than a cultivator, which is an advantage on compacted or weed-infested ground. A cultivator is better suited to shallow inter-row weeding. For comprehensive soil care, having both implements is worthwhile.
