With the continuous advancement of agricultural modernization, rotary tillers are also constantly developing and improving. In the future, rotary tillers will develop towards wide width high-speed types and joint operation units. The wide width high-speed rotary tiller will adapt to the demand for intensive and large-scale production of rice, improving cultivation efficiency and quality. The joint operation unit can achieve the integration of multiple functions, reduce operation links and costs, and improve agricultural production efficiency.

In order to fully utilize the efficiency of rotary tillers and ensure their safe and efficient operation, users need to master the correct usage methods. Firstly, before use, check whether all components are intact, especially whether the rotary tiller is installed backwards, and whether the fixing bolts and universal joint locking pins are secure. Secondly, before starting the tractor, the clutch handle of the rotary tiller should be set to the disengaged position, and the power should be engaged in the raised state. After the rotary tiller reaches the predetermined speed, slowly lower it to let the rotary tiller blade enter the soil. During the operation, it is strictly prohibited to start, reverse, or turn the rotary tiller directly when it is in the soil, in order to prevent damage to the equipment.

Rotary tillers are mainly divided into three types according to the configuration of their rotary blade shafts: horizontal axis, vertical axis, and inclined axis. Among them, the horizontal rotary tiller is the most widely used due to its strong soil crushing ability. With one operation, the soil can be finely divided, the soil and fertilizer can be evenly mixed, and the ground can be leveled, meeting the requirements for sowing in dry land or planting in paddy fields. However, the horizontal rotary tiller has poor coverage ability for residues and weeds, shallow tillage depth (12-16 cm for dry tillage and 14-18 cm for water tillage), and high energy consumption.

As a type of tillage machinery that is used in conjunction with tractors to complete tillage and raking operations, rotary tillers play a crucial role in modern agriculture. Its strong soil breaking ability and flat surface after cultivation have made rotary tillers widely used in agricultural production. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the working principle, types, characteristics, usage methods, and development trends of rotary tillers.
