Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy a rotavator?
New garden tillers and cultivators are sold by garden-machinery dealers and online retailers. Professional two-wheel tractors are dealer-only — buy through the manufacturer's dealer network so you get setup, parts and service. Used and heritage machines come from private sellers, auctions and specialist dealers.
Should I buy new or used?
New gives you a warranty, dealer support and the latest design. Used can be excellent value, especially for well-built older machines that were made to be repaired — but buy on condition, not just the badge, and budget for a service. Our heritage guide covers what to check.
