Al-ko rotivator

Just been offered an Al-ko MH370-4 rotivator at a resonable price. The question is, has any body got one, are they any good, are they reliable? Regards Mick.

I got one... Brill.. me dad bought is for me new 3 years ago. Its got a very good 4 stroke petrol briggs and statton engine and is a pretty shade of yellow so you dont loose it in the weeds.
It has a plough attachment ideal for making tattie trenches.

Morning Mick.... dont try to use it if the ground it too wet.. ie, sticks to your boots, or rock hard.
I go over the bed lightly one way to break it up then the other way to get a bit deeper, finally using the ridge plough to make your furrows.
Oh, and i cover the bed with hos muck, shreaded paper and hops as a winter mulch then get me rotovator out in the spring.
