Rotavator Implements

A rotavator machine, also known as rotary tiller, is a farm implement used to cut, mix, pulverize and level the soil before sowing and planting crops. Rotavators are used in both primary and secondary tillage operations to prepare a fine and levelled seedbed. It is among the most widely used tractor implements across the country. 

Rotavators are available in different sizes. Choosing a rotavator size mainly depends on the tractor's engine power (HP) and PTO HP. Also, it must be compatible with the hitch category of the tractor.

Tractorkarvan has listed more than 900 rotavator models from 50 brands, including Shaktiman, Maschio Gaspardo and Fieldking. Here, you can easily check out key details like specifications and their latest prices for your reference. 

What are Mini Rotavators?

Mini rotavators are lighter and smaller than full-sized rotavators. This is why a 3 feet rotavator or 4 feet rotavator works efficiently with mini tractors. These rotavators are best suited for operations in small fields and intercultural operations like weeding in sugarcane fields, orchards and vineyards. The top mini rotavators available on our platform are the Maschio Gaspardo W105, Sonalika Mini Hybrid and Shaktiman Proton SRT 1.0.

Rotavator by Feet 

As mentioned before, mini rotavators are compact-sized (3 to 4 feet) implements for narrow spaces and intercultural operations. On the other hand, 4+ feet rotavators are suitable for breaking up and aerating the soil to prepare it before sowing. A side shift rotavator allows efficient tillage in fields full of obstacles and row crops because of its ability to adjust its offset working position.

Large-sized rotavators work best with higher HP tractors. They are most popular in India, and their sizes range from 5 feet rotavators and 6 feet rotavators to 8 feet rotavators. They are perfect for tillage operations in large agricultural fields. Some popular examples of these rotavators are Mahindra Gyrovator ZLX+ 185 and Sonalika Challenger HD 6 feet.  

What are the Different Types of Blades Available in a Rotavator?

There are primarily three types of blades in rotavators: 

• L-type blade: This is the most common blade type in rotavators. It is best suited for Indian soil conditions and cuts, mixes and pulverizes soil most effectively.  

• C-type blade: This blade has greater tillage depth than the L-type blade. A rotavator with C-type blades is perfect for hard ground and heavy, wet soil.  

• J-type blade: A J-type blade rotavator performs well in wet field conditions. Thus, they are mostly preferred for puddling operations.

How to Hitch Rotavator with Tractor? 

It is important to attach an agriculture rotavator to the tractor properly for safe operations on the field.  

• The first step is to ensure the tractor and rotavator are kept on a levelled surface.  
• Based on the rotavator size, match the lower links of the tractor's 3-point linkage with the lower hinges of the rotavator.  
• Use the 3-point linkage to attach the rotavator. First, attach the lower link on the left side. Secure it with the help of the hitch pin. Do the same for the lower link on the right side. Now, attach the top link using the hitch pin. 
• The next step is to mount the drive shaft. The drive shaft provides power to the rotavator to turn its blades. 

• • Ensure that the shear bolt is on the side of the rotavator. This shear bolt protects the drive shaft in the case of sudden heavy loads. 
  • Attach both ends of the drive shaft to the rotavator and tractor by inserting them in the respective spline. 
  • When this is done, insert the universal joint of the drive shaft in the tractor PTO and rotavator gearbox PTO. 

• The last step is to ensure that the rotavator does not lift from either side and is levelled on the ground. 

Safety and Maintenance of Rotavators 

Proper care and maintenance of rotavators are necessary for their long life. Change the gear oil of the rotavator on a regular basis. It must be done once every year or after 50 hours of use so that the gearbox works smoothly and for a longer time. 

Wash all the parts of the rotavator after every single use to remove all the collected dirt and other debris. In case of puddling, mud must be cleaned from the trailing board and blades. Check that there is no oil leakage in the gearbox, side transmission, and rotavator shaft. If there is leakage, change the gasket or mechanical seal and fill the oil again. It is recommended that you always use genuine spare parts for your rotavator. 

Below are the key precautions to take while operating a rotavator: 

• Make sure there are no children or animals nearby during field operations. 
• Do not allow people to sit on the back or fender seat of the tractor. They can fall over the side of the rotavator due to sudden jerks. 
• Secure the drive shaft and hitch pins tightly. 
• No part of the machinery, including blades, must be touched during operations. 
• Ensure that all the components of the rotavator are in perfect condition without cracks or wear and tear. 
• Loose-fitting clothes must be avoided as they can get stuck in moving parts of the rotavator.
