Rotary Tillers are machines used for both primary and secondary Tillage for cultivating the soil. They use a series of blades that eliminate weeds, relieve compaction, as it mixes and levels the soil. This agricultural equipment is very powerful and is used for seedbed preparation. It's are Primary and secondary tillage as they break up, churns and aerates the soil prior to planting. This improves drainage and makes your ground ideal for growing vegetables and row crops.

These machines are ideal for cash crop farmers who are looking to bury and incorporate crop residues and trash efficiently and quickly between harvesting and planting.
Rotary tillers allow the preparation of the soil without using a large amount of labour. It's essential to ensure your soil is properly prepared. Turning your soil gives you the maximum amount of nutrients for your plants. The better your soil structure, the bigger the crops you yield.
There are a large variety of model sizes to suit any tractor.
Rotary Tillers are suitable to use in dry and wetland cultivation/
They can loosen and aerate soil up to 10-15cm in depth
Chopping and mixing- rotary tillers are ideal for chopping and mixing crops like maize, tobacco, sugarcane, cotton and rice. The trash mixes uniformly and through the soil adds valuable humus to the soil.
Tilling and planting- many rotary tillers can be equipped with a toolbar mounted planter for towing a planter for tillage and planting. Rearraging a rotary tillers blades on the rotor shaft allows you to use the machine to strip-tillage your seedbed.
Fertiliser and chemicals ' the mixing action of the machine is ideal for the incorporation of fertiliser after spreading.
Weed control' Rotary hoes provide effective weed control while tilling and incorporate the green manure into the soil.
This machine comes in different sizes for different applications. Gardens and small allotments require smaller tillers. Larger ones are more commonly used on larger areas of land, vegetable patches and fields. Their gearboxes and blade sizes desiged differently for light or more heavy-dutry work. Lighter machines are usually more economical but won't stand up to more demanding tasks.

Hard or heavy soil, as the description implies, is hard to work. This type of soil mostly consists of clay, possibly with some silt or sand.
Everything depends on one intrinsic characteristic of the soil: its texture, also known as grain or particle size (soil). The texture indicates the composition of a soil, i.e. the relative percentages by weight of its different constituent particles. The fine solid part of the soil consists of elementary particles with different sizes and properties. These include, from largest to smallest, sand, silt and clay. The abundance of one over the other gives rise to soil types with different chemical and physical characteristics. There are sandy, silty and clayey soils and various intermediate classes in between (clayey-silty soils, sandy loam and so on).
Today we will delve into the characteristics of clayey soil, to understand why it is so hard and tiring to work, as well as finding out how to soften it and prevent it from compacting again.
We were saying that every type of soil has peculiar chemical and physical characteristics, especially clay soil:
It contains and retains nutrients, so it is fertile.
It has very fine porosity (microporosity) which, on the one hand, makes the soil less permeable and prone to water stagnation but, on the other hand, holds any water that manages to infiltrate the surface.
It is poorly aerated.
When wet, it feels muddy and plastic; when dry it becomes hard, compact and cracked, with a surface crust.
It is difficult to work: in practice, it is generally described as heavy or hard soil, rather than clay soil.
If clay soil is fertile, conversely it tends to be less hospitable for plants, causing roots to suffer from rot and lack of oxygen, while beneficial microbial flora (aerobic) cannot survive in it.
Like humus, clay is a colloidal substance. This means that its particles can aggregate into flakes and lumps. This increases the size of the pores in the soil, favouring the circulation of water and air and therefore the life of plants. Consequently, it has a fundamental role in forming the structure of the soil, i.e. the way in which the elementary particles aggregate and organise in space. Thanks to more balanced porosity between macropores and micropores pores, a soil with a lumpy structure allows roots to develop and is easier to work.
