Rotavator and Cultivator Manuals

Merry Tiller Rotovator

My Merry Tiller

There's no doubt that a rotavator is a great aid when you're managing a large plot or allotment. They might only get used for 10 or 20 hours in a year, but they save many hours of hard work.

Because they don't get used an awful lot and the older ones were built to the same engineering standards as a tank, they last many years. My Merry Tiller is over 30 years old and going as well as the day it was made.

The big problem with older second hand rotovators is that the manuals tend to get lost so we're trying to build a library of them in downloadable PDF form which is ideal for printing.

In fact, you will be better printing these than just trying to view them online. You can download them to your own computer as well. Just right click on the links and select 'save as' or whatever your browser command is to save a file.

If you have an old rotavator manual knocking around you can really help everyone by either scanning it or sending it in the post to me and I'll get in online here. Obviously I'll return anything posted. You can contact me here. Please don't email asking me if I have a manual - if I do it is listed below.
