Every owner of a summer cottage or country house can attest that maintaining the appearance of a garden or vegetable garden is a very difficult task. It will take you a lot of time and effort to plow and loosen the land. Sometimes even women or old people are faced with such an occupation as digging potatoes. To facilitate the task, some manufacturers of motor cultivators specially produce models that are light in weight and compact in size. These devices will be an excellent replacement for a set of shovels, hoes and rakes.

These devices are easy to operate, have good functionality and impressive characteristics for such sizes. The machines are recognized as excellent helpers for any farm, and every year they are in great demand.

In order for the device to serve for a long time, and not turn out to be a meaningless purchase, further we will consider the criteria, focusing on which you can choose the desired model.

• Weight of goods. So that you can work comfortably with the device, and it does not cause discomfort, always pay attention to the weight. The cultivator should be light enough.
• Engine view. Small cultivators can operate on both electricity and fuel. Electric options are great for women. Due to its small size and lack of a gas tank, this option will not be difficult when compared with those that run on gasoline. But it should be borne in mind that for comfortable work you will have to constantly charge the battery. Before you decide which device to take (fuel or electric), check the availability of power supply networks near the area where work will be carried out.

The device must strictly comply with all the characteristics indicated on the packaging and give proper performance. If the soil on your site is dry and solid enough, then you cannot do with the most primitive cultivator. Conversely, if it is very soft, then there is no point in overpaying for a more productive model.
