How to choose a cultivator for summer cottage?

• There are three types of cultivator depending on weight and power: light, medium and heavy. The lightweight ones weigh at most 30 kg, and have a capacity in the range 1-3.5 hp. They are maneuverable, simple and well loosen the soil to a small depth. For a cottage of 15 acres this will be quite enough. The medium ones are heavier both by weight (40-65 kg), and by power (up to 5.5 hp). The depth and width of cultivation is more, suitable for medium-sized plots. Heavy: weighs more than 70 kg, horsepower - more than 5.5 hp Such are suitable for farms and the areas of 1-5 ha. With them it is possible to "stretch out" and install some additional component (the same cart, for example).
• Models with electric motors eliminate harmful emissions into the atmosphere, are small and convenient. However, they are not very powerful, and the cable integrity must be monitored carefully (to avoid electrocution). Battery-powered ones are even more mobile, but even weaker. Those that run on gasoline are the most popular. Their main advantage is power. However, there are many nuances: they cost more; complicated in servicing (they need to be regularly cleaned of dirt); it is not allowed to use in greenhouses and greenhouses because of emissions of exhaust gases.
• Two-stroke engines are more powerful than four-strokes, but they consume a lot of fuel and use their life faster. Four-strokes emit less noise and fewer emissions.
  Gearbox: chain, worm or pinion. The chain reducer is the most popular because it is inexpensive and has a good service life. The worm one is lightweight, compact, but cannot withstand heavy loads. Gear serves longer than all others (operating time - more than 2000 hours without repair), but also costs 2-2.5 times more than others.
• Number of gears: make it at least 2 - you will be more comfortable to work.
• The housing can be made of steel, cast iron, aluminum or plastic. By prevalence, the first is steel (and the cheapest), followed by aluminum and plastic. Cast iron is no longer used in modern models.
• The presence of transport wheels is a plus for moving. They are rarely used on light models, but it is impossible to do without a solid wheel (or two) on heavy models.
