Replacment rotovator
« on: September 09, 2013, 11:41 »
I have finally decided to change my Landmaster 88 which has given me sterling service for the past 30 years but need some advice as to what to buy to replace it.  I have looked at the Mountfield range and the Appache Euro 5
but one of the useful features of the Landmaster was the ability to remove the outside tines to enable me to break up the soil between rows of potatoes for earthing up.  Can anyone recommend  a good quality machine that will do this?

Any help much appreciated


Regards


Simon

Would a Mantis be man enough for the job?  Very happy with mine, but it wouldn't break new ground or anything heavy duty like that, but it works a treat to get my beds ready in the Srping.

I have just been looking through the tillers advertised below on this section by Titan.  They look impressive, has anyone got one?

I used mine to dig trenches on ground that hadn't been touched for 20 years right against a hedge to put rabbit wire in ! it went straight down to full depth on very dry compacted soil with no problems ,just had to clear it of hedge roots now and again  :)

Well, I have taken the plunge and ordered a Ardisam Earthquake Badger 800pro, principally because this was the only medium priced machine that allows me to alter the width of tilling.  It has three widths, from 30cm to 50cm so I will be able to go between the rows of potatoes to loosen the soil for earthing up and between close rows of other plants.
I will let you all know how it performs.

Hi Simon
I have had an Ardnisam earthquake for a couple of years. Awesome machine which copes well with Virgin ground but also produces a lovely fine tilth. You won't be disappointed. Steve

Took delivery of my new Ardisam Earthquake rotorvator yesterday.   No serious use yet but so far the tilling I have done with it is absolutely brilliant.  It is a very well made machine and very versatile in that I can till with three different widths.
