Navigating the world of garden machinery can be daunting. At WGM Ltd, we categorize our cultivation equipment into four main types to help you find the perfect match for your specific needs.

1. Mini Tillers (e.g., Honda FG201)

Perfect for modest garden plots, allotments, or working between established rows. These are lightweight (the Honda FG201 is just 16kg) and highly maneuverable. They are ideal for "fluffing up" existing beds but may bounce on very hard, uncultivated ground.

2. Front-Tine Cultivators (e.g., Husqvarna TF325)

In these models, the tines are located at the front and provide the forward propulsion. They are excellent for general landscaping and preparing flowerbeds. The Husqvarna TF325, for instance, features a 60cm working width and plant guards to protect your prize blooms.

3. Rear-Tine Rotavators (e.g., Husqvarna TR348)

For heavy-duty tasks or breaking new ground, rear-tine models are the gold standard. These machines have powered driving wheels, with the tines located behind.

The Advantage: Models like the Husqvarna TR348 use "counter-rotating" tines that bite deep into the soil while the wheels provide stable forward motion. This makes them far easier to handle on hard clay or stony ground, often requiring only one-handed guidance.

4. Walking Tractors (e.g., Grillo G46)

For professional or industrial-scale use, walking tractors offer maximum torque and durability. The Grillo G46, powered by a 5.5 HP Honda engine, is designed for extensive soil crushing and professional grounds preparation.

 

 

Choosing the right rotavator, tiller, or walking tractor depends on your garden size, soil type, and workload. Whether you need a compact mini tiller for small gardens and allotments, a versatile front-tine cultivator for flowerbed preparation, or a heavy-duty rear-tine rotavator for breaking hard clay or stony ground, investing in the correct garden cultivation equipment will save time, reduce effort, and improve soil health.
