what sort of rotavator is best?

good afternoon,hi to all,
in need of a bit of assistance,can anyone tell me what is the best reasonably priced rotavator to get.been keeping chucks for a year now and want to start doing a bit more on the gardening side.not sure of the size of area of ground i have to work with but i'd say,bit clay and very dry,200ft long by 70ft wide,
does anyone know of one to loan or hire,can collect.in bedford area.

go for it then poppie.get the biggest wheel driven one you can get your hands on,hss a-plant etc all hire them,but i'm sure if you get the phone book out there will be smaller hire shops who can help you out.

I suggest hiring initially - so you can get a decent beefy machien that will make light work of it (self propelled, rather than just powering the tines, as has been said)

Then perhaps consider a Mantis Tiller to keep the work the soil when you need to.
