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.

A lot of good videos have been made about the work of the tornado cultivator. For example, this:

Even a fragile girl can easily cultivate ridges of several tens of meters with just such a cultivator. Interestingly, the load distribution is thoughtful. The user does not strain his back, but works with all parts of the body. Arms, back, shoulders, legs and torso are involved. If there is a distribution of the load, then it is almost impossible to become exhausted when working with the tool.

Experts advise using just such a tool in abandoned or neglected areas, because removing weeds and wild plants is the main function of a cultivator. Compared to a hoe, this cultivator will save both time and effort. There is no need for an awkward body position when working, as well as periodic bending and squatting.

How a hand cultivator and a tornado root remover work in practice is shown in the video:

If you test a cultivator or root remover together with a shovel, you will find that the shovel processes the soil 4 times slower. Moreover, it doesn’t matter who exactly used the tools, because when comparing, you need to perform chaotic movements at a certain pace.

Proper tillage is carried out by loosening, and not by moving the layer. The natural layer and fine root system are destroyed during aggressive digging with an ordinary bayonet shovel. Proper use of a root cultivator preserves the right environment for future plants.

Benefits stated by the manufacturer:

1. Removing weeds is a pleasant, simple task. You just need to plunge the working pins of the cultivator around the weed.
2. It is convenient to get rid of unwanted vegetation on the ridges. It is impossible to spoil the growing crop with such a tool.
3. You can do the same thing as with a pitchfork, distributing weeds into compost pits or piles.
4. Easy to assemble, convenient to store and easy to transport from site to site.
5. The working rods or teeth are made of hardened steel and are resistant to corrosion.

Design features, advantages and disadvantages

The uniqueness of the Tornado manual root remover primarily concerns its design. Outwardly, this tool is unremarkable, but if you see how it works in practice, you will understand that this is an indispensable device for the household.

First, let's look at the design features of the tool. The main part of the Tornado is a vertical metal rod. In its upper part there is a handle with curved handles of an ergonomic design. The height of the central rod is individually adjusted depending on the height of the person who will use the tool. At the bottom of the rod there are several sharp curved blades, with the help of which the soil is loosened. These blades are made of specially hardened metal, so they do not become dull even with constant use.

When working with the Tornado manual cultivator, it is necessary to take into account that its curved teeth are extremely sharp, so it is better to wear thick shoes while working so as not to accidentally injure yourself when loosening or removing weeds.

From the description given above, we can conclude that the Tornado cultivator has an extremely simple design. So what is the secret of the popularity of this tool? The fact is that it has no disadvantages, since the device is distinguished not only by its wide functions and ease of use, but also by its low cost.

But the Tornado cultivator has extremely many advantages:

1. Increased productivity: thanks to the special design, removing weeds or loosening the soil with this tool is 2-3 times faster than using conventional tools.
2. Reduced fatigue: The ergonomic design and adjustable handle evenly distribute muscle load, so you won't experience back pain even after hours of work.
3. Light weight: the total weight of the Tornado manual cultivator is only 2 kg, so it can be used by summer residents of any age.
4. Convenient storage and transportation: the manual cultivator can be easily disassembled into three parts, which significantly saves space when storing the tool and allows you to freely transport it in the trunk of a car.
5. Long-term operation: all structural elements are made of durable metal, and the blades are specially hardened, so they do not have to be sharpened frequently to maintain cutting properties.

In addition, it should be noted that the use of such a cultivator does not involve any additional costs. Since the job requires only physical strength, you won't have to spend on the gas, diesel or electricity needed to power other modern farming tools.

It should also be clarified that the use of the Tornado cultivator has a beneficial effect on the condition of the soil as a whole. Since the soil layer does not turn over during loosening, you do not have to worry that beneficial microorganisms in the soil will die or the soil will lose moisture. With such gentle loosening, the tool is able to effectively remove weeds, not only their above-ground parts, but also branched roots that go deep into the soil. Thanks to this feature, the Tornado tool is perfect for those summer residents who adhere to the principles of organic farming.

Benefits of the tool

The only nuance that can be attributed to the disadvantages of the device is the fact that such a manual cultivator can only be used in small and medium-sized areas. Using tools for cultivating soil in large fields is not advisable, since it will take too much time. However, the manufacturing company initially sought to create a tool intended not for industrial purposes, but for ordinary summer cottages.

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:

1. Loosening without turning the earthen layer. Can be used near bushes, next to flower beds and in other hard-to-reach places.
2. Simple and easy removal of small weeds.
3. Creating holes for planting onions, flowers, seedlings of any size in a short time.
4. Treatment of the topsoil next to the root system of shrubs and trees.
5. 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.

Reviews about the cultivator

According to reviews from summer residents, the Tornado manual cultivator is indispensable on six hundred square meters. It is easy to handle, no problems with transportation, durable and reliable tool. Gardeners and gardeners rated working with Tornado 5+ and believe that every farming enthusiast should have such equipment. And negative reviews on the Internet only indicate that inexperienced summer residents simply do not know how to handle a cultivator.

Today I dug up a garden bed in 10 minutes!
I really liked that it pulls out the roots well, and my back doesn’t hurt at all - and this is important for me :)) I didn’t even take out the arch - it will fit everywhere. I tried it on the virgin lands - it’s a little difficult to twist (the hands are thin) Irina Plotnikova. Kirovsk. 61 years old

My son is very happy with the tornado.
In half an hour he will process everything and rest)) Well, of course he is a 41st flying pig))) Olga Kuznetsova. Saint Petersburg. 59 years old

I have been using the Tornado cultivator for two seasons.
Compared to a shovel - heaven and earth. The load is only on your hands, and you get tired much less than if Sergei Kondrashov was digging with a shovel. Moscow city. 64 years old

Now I don’t dig the beds, but loosen them with a Tornado cultivator.
Quickly, not hard, the layers of soil do not turn over, as a result of which the microflora is preserved, the weeds are pulled out with deep roots, all that remains is to rake them into a pile and take them to the compost bin! Svetlana Kurbatova (Kuchuk). Veliky Ustyug. 52 years old

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.

Recommendations for mastering the cultivator

For the first time, select an area with soft soils. When performing work on virgin and turfy areas, the following recommendations should be followed:

• it is advisable to cut the surface into squares measuring 25x25 cm;
• process the square in two passes - first the upper part, deepening the teeth by a third, and then to the desired depth;
• in the case of hard soils, to release the teeth from the turf, step on the layer with your foot and pull out the tool, turning it to the left.

It is not recommended to overload the tool.

The tornado cultivator has been plowing for us all season. And apparently, it will last for more than one year. Although initially, this device seemed thin and unreliable. But apparently there is a good metal alloy there that held up well in our rocky soil. We liked it and recommend it to all summer residents!
