Differences Between Cultivators and Tillers

Rototillers and cultivators are both useful tools for lawn and garden care. Used together, they work to loosen up the soil in your backyard, front yard or garden area to make planting easier and more efficient. In fact, creating flower beds or garden patches without them can be tricky and difficult work. 

But there are key differences between the two. Garden tillers help you get started by digging into the ground and breaking and mixing soil, while cultivators help to prepare and maintain a garden or lawn once it’s been tilled.

Garden Tillers to Get You Started

Buying a rototiller can help you loosen large areas of soil in a hurry. With efficiency and power, these lawn machines are ideal for making space to grow grass, plants, vegetables or gorgeous flowers right on your lawn or garden. From standard tiller options to gas powered tillers, consider these helpful tips from Ace to help you find the right rototiller for your home.  

  • Job Size: Look for a rear-tine tiller for larger jobs, since these machines have engine-driven wheels to help break through hard, rocky ground. When working with existing beds, weeding, forming compost or tilling smaller projects, forward-tine tillers can easily get the job done and can be easy to maneuver thanks to their back wheel design.
  • Engine Type: Using engine type to narrow down your options can be useful. 2-cycle engine models typically use oil and gas, and do not require as much regular maintenance as 4-cycle engine tillers. 4-cycle gas tiller models are more powerful, but also heavier and use gasoline only.
  • Versatile Options: Consider a reverse drive model, as the ability to reverse your tiller will make your work much smoother. 
  • Maneuverability: The tires on your tiller matter, determining how easily your machine can move in specific situations. Pneumatic tires are especially popular because they help make maneuvering your tiller considerably easier over rough and uneven terrain.

Additionally, it is important to check the maximum depth capabilities of your tiller before you buy. Although many tillers are adjustable, some are not and may complicate your plans. 

Garden Cultivators for Regular Upkeep

Although you will need a rototiller to start a garden from scratch, cultivators are great for maintaining your current lawn or garden. Cultivators help to mix up soil, rid your garden of pesty weeds and work fertilizer or compost into your existing garden soil mixture. They can easily dig into your flower bed to loose the soil and prepare it for any changes you wish to make.  

You may opt for a gas or electric cultivator, or you may wish to take advantage of dual tiller - cultivator models for the best of both worlds. Regardless of your choice, a cultivator is a must have for any serious lawncare.
