Free Rotavator, Cultivator, Tiller & Engine Manuals
I’m totally convinced that they don’t make them like they used to. My 1976 Merry Tiller is built like a Panzer tank! Modern machines may be quieter and more efficient but the older rotavators are tougher.
They only get used for 10 to 20 hours a year which is why, with service and a little TLC, a 40 year old machine keeps on doing useful work.
These manuals are free to download and if you have an old manual, preferably in PDF format, that you’d like to share please contact me.
You will be better printing these than just trying to view them online. You can download them to your own computer as well. Just click on the link and the manual should open in a new window. Allow a few seconds to download. You can then save the file to your hard disk.
