    Ok, so this is 2018 and I'm a Portuguese guy wanting to learn a bit more about the basics of gardening and agriculture. I found this video of yours and I'm tremendously thankful to this little piece of pedagogical masterclass you've got here. Thank you so very much for this precious information. Kind regards from Portugal.

  • @josephamego1528
    @josephamego1528 8 лет назад

    Some one got upset by my previous comment on this man needing a pair of lungs to go with the Rotavator, Some people want to lighten up, I'm probably a bit older than him at 72 and with years of smoking (now given up) have still not got my full breath back, when I recently used my rotavator I had the same problems only worser than this gentleman so my comments were based on how I felt after doing what he'd been doing, the comment wasn't some glib, or joke remark at the expense of this man, and if he felt hurt by my comment I apologise, as for the person who felt that I had made a joke whatever at the expense of this man, unless you know all the facts and can do a constructive comment, such as how well for his age the man was doing I'd suggest that you mind your own business, it was not a joke and wasn't never meant to be taken as such but merely an observation by the way that I felt when doing the same thing.

    • @josephamego1528
      @josephamego1528 8 лет назад

      +bigpicturesstudio I hope that if I reach that age that I'll look as good as he does, For 84 he looks remarkable and he'd probably put a 60 year old to shame, keep up the good work Gordon I bet he knows a few tricks on Gardening.

    • @bigpicturesstudio
      @bigpicturesstudio 8 лет назад

      yes he is amazing for in his 80's infact much better than his younger sister ... very fit indeed and dances with women in their 50's . So also yes, he knows a few tricks alright hahaha, if anyone is interested

    Thanks Gordon. You are pure, dead brilliant. (Not quite the Perthshire dialect, but near enough... ;) ) I just got an allotment today. The secretary said I was welcome to use the communal rotovator. I nodded sagely, thanked him, and came home and fired up my laptop to find out what exactly that actually was!

  • @josephamego1528
    @josephamego1528 9 лет назад

  • @techdavey3486
    @techdavey3486 9 лет назад

    Thanks for the video, The Merry Tiller seems to kick like a bucking-bronco which will be why a friend who is as old as the hills doesn't like them anymore. His favourite machine is the Howard 300 but getting spares is now very difficult. The Kohler engines on these have the strange property of having two standard bore sizes which resulted in his son getting the wrong size piston and rings from America! The Briggs & Stratton option also has a problem with a peculiar magneto which has a three legged armature shaped like the letter E. From the serial numbers it would appear that his Howard was built before 1965 so as the machine is over fifty years old its hardly surprising that spares are a problem. Numerous rotavators have been tried over the years but the Howards are still the best if they are in good order. A Honda was tried some years ago and although it had rubber tyres to steady it, the machine was disliked. IMHO the Howard that uses the Hatz diesel which needs cigarettes to start it is a bad model. It desperately needs an electric starter to avoid killing oneself with a heart attack when trying to start it! Of course such machines are really museum pieces nowadays. As to those cigarettes it is not necessary to light them before putting them into the engine as they light themselves. Not many people know that!

  • @martynedelsten1878
    @martynedelsten1878 10 лет назад

    Gordon, I just acquired an old rotavator for use in a community garden in Edinburgh. Lovely machine, unused for 7 years but started easily, but nothing to identify make/model. We are ploughing 2 hectares of what has been lawn for 200 years! We are learning as we go along how to set the adjustable bar at the rear, and the 3 positions of the wheels behind the 2 ploughs. We have lifted the turf before ploughing. Could you advise? Thanks. Martyn.

  • @bridmcshane6268
    @bridmcshane6268 10 лет назад

    Aw really enjoyed this video Gordon! Well done! Have a big patchy grassy/nettley patch out the back of a newly-moved-into house so wondering if hiring a rotavator would save me further anguish with it as I'm hoping to make a cutting garden!

    • @GordonsGardenTips
      @GordonsGardenTips 10 лет назад

      ok so, I'd suggest spraying the patch with roundup weed-killer first and wait till all green goes down, then you can rotavate. This is because if you didn't kill weeds first, you would be breaking the plants into more that can grow and make the area worse.

    • @raydavies2545
      @raydavies2545 8 лет назад

      There have been recent studies that have shown Roundup weed killer to be carcinogenic, so suggest an alternate way of killing the lawn. I wonder if you covered the area with black plastic, the sun on it will heat up the grass below and kill it all!!!
