the showman 4,074 #2 Posted August 5, 2015 Not sure a powered disc harrow would work, as there discs i cant see how it would drive, sounds like you need a bigger rotavator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldBuzzard 186 #3 Posted August 6, 2015 There are rotorvators and then there are rotorvators :D Some rotorvators like the Bolens 'square back' models are very heavy duty and capable of working virgin ground. Others like their 'round back' model are light duty and only designed for previously worked ground. If yours is a 'light duty' one, maybe you should consider using a plough to break the ground first, and then follow up with the rotorvator after the plough has done the 'heavy work'. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #4 Posted August 6, 2015 I can attest to the weight of the square back tiller; they are well heavy and a good bit of kit as well. Best to plough Virgin land first before using a rotavator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
