A petrol rotavator is a perfect item of gardening machinery for both domestic as well as commercial applications, it is used for turning the soil over on garden borders, vegetable and flower plots and allotments.
Being a powerful tool that is purposely designed for use in the garden, a rotavator can quickly create a good seed bed as well as assisting to control annual weeds.
Rotavators and Petrol Tiller Machines
Depending on the condition of the soil that you are working with you have a choice of deciding whether to use a rotavator or a tiller machine to break-up the soil for productive cultivation.
A rotavator is more suited for hard soil that has never been cultivated before and can generally be used at any time of the year. A tiller is more suited for ground conditions where the soil is not too hard, being ideal for use on existing garden borders and allotment plots.
What is the difference between these two types of gardening tools?
It can be quite confusing when trying to decide on the right tool to prepare and cultivate the soil on your allotment or in your garden. Should you book the hire of a tiller tool or a rotavator?
First, both of these tools are capable of and designed for helping you to cultivate soil. They break up the soil, aerate it, and this allows nutrients to flow through the soil helping the cultivation of whatever plants you intend to grow. The process also exposes insects within the soil to birds and at the same time improves overall soil drainage.
Sometimes the only real differences between the two machines are the names given to them by their manufacturers. In real terms a tiller and a petrol rotavator does the same thing. There are differences between the two, these being that one is for heavy duty work and the other for use on soil that has already been cultivated at some time. Want to work on a flower border in your garden? You most likely need to arrange tiller hire for this!
Rotavators are driven along by their wheels, a tiller is driven by the digging blades which are referred to normally as tines. Rotavators are normally far larger in-size and capable of digging deeper than a tiller. Tillers turn over the top-layers of soil and are a preferred machine for most home gardeners.
Are petrol tillers and rotavators easy to use?
Yes, both of these tools are straightforward to use once you get familiar with the basic operating controls to start and run the engine and drive the machine around your garden border or allotment plot. Usually within 10 to 15 minutes of use you will get the hang of operating and using one of these soil cultivation tools.

Frequently asked questions
Can a tiller or rotavator tool be used on grassed or turfed areas?
It is not recommended to use one of these machines on any areas in your garden that are turfed or have grass growing within, unless you have first removed the turf and grass. (To do this you may want to consider hiring a turf cutter machine from your local tool hire shop).
The reason for not doing this is because all the rotavator will do is turn the soil and grass over with a large amount of the grass remaining on the surface, this will then start to root and begun growing again.
Does the site or garden require any attention before you use a tiller or rotavator?
There are two main points that should be followed as far as preparation goes before using one of these gardening tools.
(1) The garden or allotment should be walked around and all rubbish, waste, and non soil materials be removed. This includes old bricks, stones, pieces of wood, and anything else that is on or within the soil that you are going to be working on. Brambles, twigs, and shrubbery should be removed from the cultivation area too.
(2) Make sure you have a clear entrance and route to get around the work site, this may mean that you have to clear a pathway, remove some overgrown plants, or even lay down a few scaffold boards to act as a walkway. If you don't have these to-hand it might be enquiring at the tool shop where you have arranged rotavator hire in Sheffield from, some rental shops offer scaffold boards for hire where as some sell them too.
Is it expensive to use the service of rotavator hire?
No, but whilst hiring one of these gardening tools is not the cheapest way to break up and turn-over the soil in your garden (that would be by doing the work manually!) it is cost effective bearing in-mind how fast a tiller or rotavator can carry out this preparation work
