A rotovator's blades rotate to produce a vertical chopping action, similar to a hedgecutter , a power harrows blades rotate to produce a horizontal stirring action similar to a food mixer , sounds daft but you get the idea.
Rotovators would be seen as old technology,

Rotovators are better for deep beds like for spuds or beet. Power harrow is more for shallow beds like for corn.
