Hand Cultivator Tornadika (Tornado) + grips (1 pair)

Private sectors and gardens need to be treated from weeds and dug up twice a year for a good harvest. Many people annually use ordinary bayonet shovels for such labor-intensive work and are not even aware of innovative hand tools like the Tornado cultivator. Now spring work in the garden will take less time and effort.

What kind of device is this, how does the cultivator work?

In short, the Tornado cultivator is a root remover or baking powder, an environmentally friendly multi-tool with several functions.

The design of the Tornado hand cultivator consists of a metal rod. A handle similar to a bicycle handlebar is installed on one side of the rod. The other end is equipped with teeth. However, those same teeth have a spiral shape, turned counterclockwise.

An important design feature of such an instrument is the adjustment of the rod according to height. Because of this, the tool can be used by a capable person of any height, and even by a child taller than 1 meter.

Many people will ask, how does such a tool work correctly? It's simple - you need to install it perpendicular to the plane of the ground and turn it until the teeth are completely immersed in the post.

Purpose:

The device allows you to prepare an area for planting without turning over the formation, cultivate a virgin area, remove weeds with roots, loosen areas near trees and shrubs, and easily remove debris and dry grass from the area.

About "Tornado Mini"

Externally similar to a cane, the lightweight manual cultivator Tornado mini is an excellent assistant in removing weeds and shoots. It is necessary to constantly improve the garden and dacha area, but most physically cannot cope with such monotonous work. Digging up small sprouts with a spatula or grapple is much more labor-intensive than “picking up” unnecessary vegetation with a simple movement of the hand.

The Tornado mini cultivator is a lightweight version of the classic model. Differences and capabilities of this tool, specified by the manufacturer:

Loosening without turning the earthen layer. Can be used near bushes, next to flower beds and in other hard-to-reach places.
Simple and easy removal of small weeds.
Creating holes for planting onions, flowers, seedlings of any size in a short time.
Treatment of the topsoil next to the root system of shrubs and trees.
One-handed operation.

If you have doubts about the choice of cultivator and its price, then it is better to purchase the most budget model - the Tornado root cultivator.

The recommended price for a Tornado cultivator of this model is only 800 rubles.

Device design

The Tornado tool for the garden is good because it can be used to perform different actions and can replace a shovel, hoe and rake at the same time. It is used as a root remover or ripper.

The design of the device is a metal rod, on one side there is a handle reminiscent of a bicycle handlebar, and on the other end there are teeth. Moreover, they have a spiral shape and are turned counterclockwise.

The length of this rod can be adjusted depending on your height. This makes it easier to use for those who often experience discomfort when working with standard tools.

Thanks to its structure, the Tornado manual cultivator-root remover is very convenient to use and will save space in the pantry, where it can be stored instead of other tools for digging and other types of soil treatment.

Advantages of the device

The manual soil cultivator Tornado is capable of working through beds for several tens of meters without much difficulty. The load is thought out; during work, all parts of the body will be involved evenly - these are the legs, the back, the shoulders, and the torso. Thanks to this, a person will not get tired when working with the tool.

Labor productivity will be quite high. Although it will be smaller compared to a motor cultivator, compared to other hand-held soil tools, the Tornado is the best option.

Other benefits include:

when working, the back and spine are not loaded;
weeds can be removed directly from the roots and they will not grow after that;
the land will be properly cultivated;
processing time will be minimal;
the instrument is height adjustable;
the device is durable - its pins easily penetrate deep into the soil and are made of hardened steel;
reasonable cost;
lightness and compactness.

If we are talking about neglected or abandoned plots of land that need to be cultivated or weeds removed, then it will be difficult to find anything better than a hand cultivator. When choosing between such a device and a hoe, there is no doubt that it will be better.

Features of application

The Tornado ripper went on sale several years ago, but has already gained well-deserved popularity. It is especially liked by those who suffer from back pain, since the load is mainly placed on the arms.

The tool will also be appreciated by those who do not like to store a large number of shovels, rakes and other equipment. For example, if a shovel is intended only for digging, then a cultivator cultivates the ground, and it can also make holes for seedlings, as well as weed even abandoned areas.

With the help of Tornado, you can dig up the ground much faster than with a shovel, and the device also perfectly loosens beds with flowers, berries and other plants. You can dig up weeds along with their roots from different types of soil, and also replant seedlings.

But you need to take into account that some things cannot be done using a cultivator:

create correct post holes;
remove and cut the roots of fruit and other trees.

When using a ripper, you need to use it correctly. For example, it is forbidden to press him with all your might. The movements must be progressive, the tool, due to the sharp rods, will easily penetrate into the soil, and the layer of earth will be able to maintain its structure.

The soil must be properly cultivated to create a positive planting environment for the future. This treatment means loosening, and if you dig it with a simple bayonet shovel, you can damage the natural soil layer and the fine root system.

The rules for using a cultivator to remove weeds are as follows:

it is placed directly above the weed and lightly pressed so that the cloves slightly penetrate the soil;
it is rotated 60 degrees so that the teeth deepen by about 20 cm;
then the cultivator is pulled out straight with the roots and weeds.

Tornado can be purchased at a hardware or garden store at a price affordable for everyone. Depending on the region of the country, it is about 1 thousand rubles.

What's in practice

The Tornado cultivator model has been on the garden tools market for several years now and has earned widespread attention and approval from people with spinal disorders. Practicing users claim that the main load is only on the hands.

Distrustful summer residents, having seen this innovation on the construction market, are in a hurry to engage, first of all, in comparison. And for this you buy a classic “Tornado” and a cheap bayonet shovel.

Several squares are measured on the site to test well-being and the promised underestimated loads.

Hand cultivator for the Tornado cottage

In addition to the usual cultivator, a model of potato digger for summer residents has been created:

The photo shows that the design includes a fixing pin, 3 working teeth, a bicycle handle and a base with a fixed length.

The potato digger cultivator will facilitate and speed up the work when harvesting potatoes. This patented tool will allow you to go through a crop plot row by row in a matter of seconds.

What is the working principle?

The cultivator is installed at an angle of 90 degrees to the ground, slightly fixing it with your foot. In parallel, the potato row is rotated around its axis. It turns out that the rounded rods or teeth of the cultivator remove all the tubers from the nest from the autumn soil in one movement.

After the annual, difficult and tedious harvest of potatoes, this tool will add variety to rural and dacha work, saving energy, time and mood.

Those who believed the advertising and began to purchase “miracle” tools for their garden and dacha have more than once mentioned the entire line of Tornado cultivators only with good words.

Garden tool TORNADO in action - video

Hand cultivator tornado

Just a few years ago there was nothing to do in the garden without a shovel. But recently a tool has appeared that not only replaced the shovel, hoe, rake, fork, and scythe, but also simplified working with the soil. The most important thing is that soil fertility is not only preserved, but also restored!

Many probably guessed that we were talking about a Fokin flat cutter. It would seem that what could be “cooler” than a flat cutter that has filled hundreds of thousands of summer cottages? But... there is no limit to perfection. And the imagination of inventors presents the sophisticated gardener with another innovation: the Tornado cultivator.

Now you can loosen not only by 5-7 centimeters (as is the case with a flat cutter), but also up to 20cm! Even with such a depth of cultivation by the cultivator, the soil layers do not mix, leaving each group of microorganisms at their vital depth (this news will be especially pleasant for those who simply cannot imagine themselves without seasonal digging of the soil - this is their choice). In addition, the Tornado cultivator, in addition to loosening (read: digging) the soil, also offers such types of work as:

removing weeds (without bending over!); creating holes for planting bushes and seedlings (in just a few seconds!); development of virgin soil (which not every flat cutter can do).

Thanks to the unique shape and high-quality tool steel, you can rush through your site like a tornado, completing all the necessary work and without even breaking a sweat. Again, when working as a cultivator, you do not bend over. The load is distributed across all back muscle groups. While the shovel loads mainly the spine.

How is this possible? Very simple. Place the assembled cultivator on the ground in the right place and rotate it 60 degrees, smoothly burying the tool into the soil. Then return it to a new place for the next loosening, etc.

With the help of "Tornado" you will be able to loosen the ground around all your trees and bushes without disturbing their root system. The height of this tool is easily adjustable, so even a child can use it. It remains to add that the Tornado cultivator is very compact and is assembled from three components: a handle, a stand and a working part. And it weighs only 2 kilograms!

Thanks to its light weight and thoughtful packaging (it looks like a schoolboy’s briefcase), the Tornado cultivator will be an unsurpassed gift for any competent summer resident or farmer.

This amazing tool, having appeared on the market, quickly gained special respect and, one might say, delight among summer residents and gardeners.

Device functionality

The hand-held cultivator Tornado for a summer residence is a tool that not only facilitates the process of loosening and digging up the soil, but also helps improve its qualities . The fact is that the soil consists of layers (layers), each of which has its own microorganisms, special nutrients and microelements.

During the usual digging of earth with a shovel, these layers are mixed, which deteriorates the quality of the virgin soil. The use of the device allows for deep loosening of the soil, without disturbing the layering while maintaining the correct environment for active and fertile plant growth .

Using the Tornado root remover, you can perform a number of jobs:

Cultivate, dig, loosen the soil in a vertical position with greater efficiency than using a shovel;
Loosen the soil of growing plants - strawberries, flowers, perennial plants;
Quickly remove weeds with rhizomes , preventing their further germination;
Replant seedlings with minimal time and effort, maintaining the integrity of the roots and the earthen coma around them;
Prepare holes for planting potatoes, seedlings or shrubs;

You can perform all this work using only one tool – the Tornado manual cultivator. It is for this reason that it has gained such high popularity among amateur and experienced gardeners.

Note! If you have any questions about the tool for cultivating land and soil on the site, its capabilities and purpose, you can ask a specialist from the manufacturer’s company. For example, you can find out where to buy a Tornado cultivator in Moscow and St. Petersburg, whether it can be purchased in bulk, where to find photos and videos of the tool, etc.

Cultivators Tornado

Obtaining high yields depends on good soil cultivation and care. All gardeners are well aware of how difficult it is to work the soil to get a good return on your investment. Digging up a garden has always been considered a difficult task. It takes a lot of time and effort and adds pain to the spine, muscles of the arms, legs and back.

To significantly facilitate agricultural work, the appearance of the Tornado manual cultivator was a pleasant surprise and a godsend for gardeners. Summer residents appreciated the new gift from the developers.

What is the Tornado cultivator?

This is a tool in the form of a metal rod. An arched ergonomic handle is attached to the top.

At the bottom, the rod is equipped with curved, pointed teeth, made of hardened steel, which does not require sharpening, and is intended for loosening the soil and removing weed roots.

How is work done with a hand cultivator?

The working part of the tool is installed on the soil surface by turning the rotary handle.
The handle is turned clockwise with the teeth immersed into the ground at least 20 cm.
Next, the device is removed from the soil, preventing it from turning to the left, shakes off the ground, and the cycle of work begins again.

What benefits does using a cultivator give to a summer resident?

relieves stress from the spine and legs, arm and back muscles, evenly distributing the load throughout the body;
does not cause back pain, does not allow you to get tired, since you do not have to bend your back, as when working with a shovel.

Working with this device to make work easier, it became possible to dig up small and medium-sized areas, making an even and high-quality digging depth of 20 cm or more. The Tornado cultivator perfectly loosens the soil, removes all weeds, increases efficiency by at least 2.5 times and prevents unpleasant sensations from the load on the back.

How to make a hand cultivator with your own hands

Anyone can attach the attachment to the handle. We suggest building a hand-held cultivator with your own hands from a discarded bicycle and improvised means. It is better to take a wheel from a teenage touring bike with a wide rim. Only the front wheel with fork is used. The working part on the frame can be made in any way - with teeth in 2 rows, stars or a flat loop. The main thing is that in a homemade hand cultivator the frame must be strong with bolted stiffening ribs connected to handles made of simple or laminated wood. Instead of wood, you can use light tubes made of non-ferrous metal. A convenient and lightweight ripper is indispensable for processing wide row spacing and tree trunk circles.

Another equally effective hand tool would be a hand-held rotary cultivator. Main components in the drawing:

working elements sprockets or discs – 1;
axles for fastening working sprockets – 2;
bushings for assembling the unit - 3;
connecting brackets, large and small – 5, 4;
frame rod, turning into a pipe and connected to a transverse handle - 6,7, 8.

Discs are spherical and are created by shaping. But with the same success you can use manual “hedgehogs” and with their help assemble the working part. A detailed drawing of a manual cultivator with your own hands will help you.

Among the homemade designs there are full-fledged walk-behind tractors created on the basis of chainsaws and other motor equipment. The value of these homemade devices for the owner is that he used available tools and created a tool to suit his needs. On the other hand, the cost of factory models does not always allow you to buy a cultivator from a well-known, reliable manufacturer. How else can you assemble a manual cultivator with your own hands, watch the video:

With its help, you can loosen the soil, leaving all the malicious weeds in the tool, which are simply thrown back into the trash container and the work continues.

The peculiarity of the work of the cultivator-root remover is the digging depth, which reaches up to 30 cm, in no way inferior to traditional digging with a shovel. This tool does not disturb the fertile soil layer, helps preserve microorganisms and moisture in it, and does not destroy beneficial worms.

Description of the cultivator

The Tornado hand cultivator has a simple design that provides maximum efficiency to the garden tool . The working element of the cultivator is made of durable forged metal, and the handle is also made of metal, with the ability to adjust its length, which is suitable for people of any height and build. In appearance and size, the Tornado manual weed cultivator resembles a pitchfork, with the only difference being that its teeth are wrapped in a circle, allowing you to easily penetrate to the depth of a shovel bayonet and turn over even the heaviest and compacted soil.

The Tornado miracle shovel will help replace several garden tools for cultivating a plot of land at once:

Shovel - used for digging up the ground;
Chopper – used for loosening and harvesting weeds;
A pitchfork is often an alternative to a shovel.

As well as a smaller tool that gardeners use to loosen the soil in flowerbeds and rows.
