What a Rotavator Does & How to Hire One in Chikkamagaluru

The rotavator, or rotary tiller, prepares a fine, level seedbed in one pass by chopping and mixing soil with crop residue, replacing several runs of plough and cultivator. It is prized for fast turnaround between one harvest and the next sowing.
