Walking/Two wheeled tractors

    Hi,

    I am wondering does any one have experience with buying and using a two walking/wheeled tractor? This summer I hope to tackle a approximately 25 metre (length) and 15m (width) garden. It is very overgrown and uneven. Basically I hope to use the tractor to plough the garden and then reseed the garden with lawnseed. Thanks in advance.

    Do you mean a rotovator?

    Try your local hire shop.
    They are expensive to buy and you may not have work for it when you finish that job.

    I’d talk to the local vintage club.
    You’ll get a lad with small tractor, a 2 furrow plough and 3ft rotavator who will do a great job for very little.

    I have a 2 wheel tractor and it is the greatest piece of kit ever. It is quite a robust machine that came with several attachments, namely a rotovator, a reversible plough, a mower, and a lawn leveller with several other attachments also available, the mower and rotovator are approx. 40 inches wide. it is powered by a 15.3 hp diesel engine. With the mower it is well capable of cutting grass thistles rushes etc basically any thing that you put it doing. I use it mainly for gardening , if its new ground I first shave it with the mower and then straight in with the rotovator which is capable of going to a depth of 15 inches leaving the earth as fine as sand. My garden plot is usually the size of 2 three bedroom bungalows and from start to finish it takes approx. 3 hours to be ready for planting. The machine I have is a Pasquali with elec start, and a reversible 4 speed gearbox and high and low pto and differential lock. Its a machine that would be well capable of tackling an acre of ground if you were fit enough to stay with it. btw its not an old machine I bought it about ten years ago.

    I googled it there.
    Fine looking machines.

    I’d imagine it’s a fair investment though and wontlder would OP get the use out of that much equipment investment. They are talking about going a once off reseed.
