2. Engine's type. Depending on the destination engine type is selected. Electric cultivator suitable for work near the power source. Petrol models are autonomous, and their power is higher than that of electric units.
3. Power engine is selected based on the size of the cultivated area and the density of the soil. It is better to give preference to a more powerful technique so that the engine does not overheat after 5 minutes of operation.
4. dimensions and the weight of the cultivator plays an important role when machinery has to be often transported in a car. These parameters have to be taken into account when fragile women will act as operators.
