I may never buy such a machine BUT I enjoyed watching this video, the technical explanations and the calm and composed demeanor of the presenter who does not appear like the typical schmuck salesperson!.. Good job with the machine and the presentation 👏!!!
Well he doesn't have to try too hard to sell it. He has the confidence that the unit sells its self.
People like him don't have time for drama. Either you like it or not.
Also, you're not related to the presenter. Not at all. No. Total stranger, just making a random, glowing review. Right.
Same here 😁
I have a 30' circle to smoothe out .. 👀
Salesman. They're all salesmen. It doesn't matter what sex they are, they're all salesmen.
My Daddy would have loved this piece of equipment. Thanks for making this video.
I’ve used an older dingo driven unit. It’s an amazing tool. Worked our 1 acre pasture nicely.
I don't want the machine to bury the rocks to just have them pop up months or years down the road but I do want one that actually picks the rocks up and puts them into a container.
Is that even possible?
@@AllodialTitle Yes.
Use a fucking rock picker then first derp derp. This is for seasonal beds
It's almost for the grass only.
Why? Rocks is home to microbes and also are pack full of nutrients that is made available to your plants if you have the right microbes wich you will not if tilling the soil. And keeping it bare..
So close to a perfect machine. Make it filter the rocks AND grass heads out into a collection chamber. It would help so much for people like me that have grass is more resilient than wild hogs.
Never would have thought this would be an exciting prospect. When you’ve had to till your own garden, your perspective changes lol
Video only shows machine working pre-tilled soil….. would be interesting to see it work rougher untilled ground..
Wonderful tool. It's perfect for the right application. I would love something like this. Thank you.
Super neat, I never knew something like this existed, thanks RUclips recommendations! Too bad no one local rents them out, I would love to use one to clear some land . Although, I have no other uses to actually own one.
Utube is assho
I used to be a demonstrator for a turf company in the UK back in 1990 who had a Rotordarian franchise and this machine was their best seller. It's a fantastic machine if used correctly. As part of demonstration I would find rocks the size of your head and place them on the area I was working. It buried it with ease. Most of the sales came from race courses,golf course construction and farmers. Also the ground was NEVER pre-worked before a demonstration.
Sounds about right :)
Will it work in heavy clay?
@@wagonwheel9426 I never had any problems using it on ploughed ground where heavy clay was present, you just need to adjust your speed to suit the conditions.
I feel for you having lived in the UK for a short time myself. Where are you based now?
@@spookybaba can I ask you what your interest in a rotordarian is please, your profile doesn't suggest your in anyway associated in agriculture nor horticulture??
Something else to add to my list of things I don't have a use for,but absolutely must have
💥 Now there’s a n implement I’ve never seen before. Neat how rocks get buried!
*Keep on tractoring!*
Forward rotating tillers are always pounding the harder debris down burying the rocks.
Reverse rotation tillers hook rocks and flip them to the surface. 👍
I will never own one of these, but I use smaller tillers and I learned a bit by watching this. Nice video
I had a contractor lay a couple of thousand sq metres of lawn in stony using one ground about 10 years ago. Made a great job. Can thoroughly recommend the machine.
Lay off the wine before posting
Lmao 🤣
There was no reason for me to watch this but I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation!
Bit pricey, but for sure the best implement I have ever bought! Looks good behind a JD:-)
What model did you get? and what was the price?
I have 4 of the Rotodairon units. We have used them since the mid 1990's. Mostly used in sports field construction and renovation. We even have a small one for our mini trackloader (toro Dingo) that is my favorite home lawn preparation implement. I would love to have one of the 13' models for use in field preparation on our sod farm. They are solid well build units that will ast for many years with inspection and maintenance.
Biggest one we have is 12'. The clip in this video is a few years old and the manufacturer stopped making the 14' models.
And thanks for your business :)
I would like to find a dealer in Nova Scotia Canada?
This would be fine for smaller things such as landscaping, tracks, football fields, etc. Fuel consumption is a concern for larger farms. Large tractor rotor tillers were tried decades ago but didn't work out due to high fuel usage.
I would love this right now! Definitely looking into one asap!
First time land owner..retired and bought a home on 9 acres. Going to build a large garden for the wife. Bought a nice used 45hp tractor and tiller. I’ve never owned Either. Would love to get this Rota Dairon unit. I’m going to sell my motorcycle for a life of tractors, dirt, and produce. 😊
Best of luck!
This concept needs to be made in a walk behind homeowners version, this thing is amazing.
Just incredible to see what the human mind can do, like always the most exciting part of a product or project is the machinery behind it..and what it took to invent said machinery in the first place. There’s a lot of people who could care less about something like this but not me …it’s incredible 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@@troykelso , ya that to….
I’m the same way. I love thinking how things were first thought into existence. Most things are thought up by the common man who is doing the work and trying to find a better more efficient solution to fix a known problem. The old saying that “Necessity is the mother of all inventions. A show I used to watch a lot was a show called “How’s It Made”. The one episode I remember was an episode on the evolution of nails. The Romans were the first culture who “mass produced” iron nails for attaching and securing wood building materials. Roman blacksmith slaves could make about a dozen three sided nails 3 inches long in a full day’s work. Then they toured a modern nail factory where a machine spit out hundreds of thousands an hour. Simply amazing what technology can do.
I’m a commercial Sheet Metal worker (Union Tradesman). Almost 30 years-I turn 55 next year and I’m retiring. When I first got in the trade we would have to stretch 2 to 300 feet of extension cords to run our power hand tools. Cords would get pulled out of the plugs, cords all nicked from getting ran over. As an apprentice I would have to go climb down the scaffolding walk through 12 inches of mud and plug a cord back in hoping not to get electrocuted in the process. I remember the first cordless drill the company bought. They only bought one and of course the foreman kept it all to himself even though he wasn’t working with his tools. Man it was awesome getting that first cordless drill and not having to mess with all the extension cord hassle.
Now when my battery goes dead I make the apprentice run back to the gang box to get a fresh battery. They bitch and moan about being a gopher. I tell them “you have no idea about how hard I had it, I tell them at least you’re not dragging 2 to 300 feet extension cord.
Fast forward 30 years I wonder what these apprentices will be telling their apprentices. In 30 years there might not be any tradesman just Robots.
The result looks smooth as a baby bed. Cool.
Awesome machine for sure.
This is a brilliant machine.
Amazing machinery, Congratulations , very good equipment's design
These are needed for small mini loaders for small backyards to clear an area for lawn prep, soften soil, then easily trench reticulation for lawn without struggling through hard soil,sprinkle some gypsum dust if clay, add some sandy compost if clay and bags of lawn seed and go back over it and there’s your lawn done.
*Love your machines*
When I was building golf courses 20 years ago, we had the same machine, but it was called a Blecavator. We used it on grass,rough untilled land and even some land that was mostly rock and it worked great. The only problem we had was that it would rip the rototiller teeth off and at $80 a piece it got pretty expensive. I'm not sure what the unit cost now but you could pay 8 guys to work before a little landscaping company could afford to buy one of these.
I like the X's on the blades. Most people I know don't do that when torqueing down the bolts and wonder why they're missing a blade when they go to service it.
In Nederland noemen we dit een overtopfrees. Fantastisch ding.
Neat! I could use something like this for the flower pots on the patio.
hand-o-dairon...🤔
I dont need one BUT one of the best presentaion Ive seen so I maybe buy one just because,,,,,,love the job it does :D
Have you considered adding a rock crusher? I ask because an Aussie Co found by using powderized rock you do not need to fertilize, for years, as rocks are made of minerals. They, via airplane, sprayed powdered rock on a strip of land that soon grew vegetation. After ten years the strip turned into a forest. No extra water, fertilizer nothing but powdered rock.
The only "extra" thing about their process was the sourcing of random rocks from multiple sights for mineral diversity. As a skeptic I would however like to see the process repeated. Unfortunately I probably won't live long enough for another ten year study. But it was fascinating if the process was that easy. As a selling point, after being proven a second or third time, wouldn't hurt your sales any either.
Make a million and send me some. ;)
Thank you, great machine.
I have done some raking myself,looks pretty good.
It’s not just a salesman I’ve been seeing this for year and I came from farming and I really do appreciate the video I would like to see what the super version of this can do and the mechanism on how it works it’s kind of cool I live by RUclips
I'm not sure why this was suggested but it's cool af to watch
That's a piece of equipment worth having.
I don't have a need for one, but those who do would surely benefit by buying one of these!
Another Awesome Job Killer!!
Amazing machine 👍👌
Similar machine has been developed at School of Mechanical Engineering of University of Beldrade 50 years ago. Major disadvantage is low operating speed.
Thats amazing machine!
I did not know that these things existed I wish we had these on the farm when i was growing up.
"...worth the price." yet the prices are not mentioned.
The Ultimate Earthworm Blender. I used once that hand held type of tiller, and the stink of death afterwards was devastating. That thing goes deeper and harder, so the mush has even more worm tissue in it.
I love these videos, and I like that there are people who are so clued up on random things. But this guy might have a little too much time on his hands
Lol. I want to borrow it to replace my front lawn this fall. When my kids were young and were in the car, I’d point out some crazy huge machine and say that I’d really like one of those! “Dad, what you do with a crane?” I’d sell it. They’re worth a fortune. I can’t believe what I’ll watch. A few years ago I cut cable. I mean I REALLY cut cable removing lots of old redundant cable and poorly installed cable. Maybe I should watch some guy fish. I don’t fish but I’ll watch anyway.
I've wanted one of toughs, most of my life. I had no idea.
What an excellent machine.
I could do with one of these over in England
U can buy next generation near by in Italy
It would be nice if it could put the rocks out on one side like a windrow vs burying them. Some have suggested a holding area but to simply eject in a row might be very easy to accomplish. If we are successful this year we will be shopping around
There is another attachment that will level and pulverize the ground and wind row the rocks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,look up Rukus Rake I just purchased one recently. We had one from Bobcat for a long time but this one is going to be a big upgrade because it can tilt as well as angle.
Please note: this is for drier soil, lose dirt. Get some core samples and avoid use on mud or clay.
yes. dry(ish) soil is best. totally fine on clay so long as it's been loosened recently. it's a tiller, not an asphalt grinder.
I have no knowledge of farming or engineering, but I love this machine for some reason😅
It sure does make a nice looking seed bed. Only problem is you only ran it through already prepped surface when showing it in film. I’d like to see it going across sod in a video vs just a picture. I don’t think the seed bed will be as nice with a single pass….
You guys should contact Stoney Ridge Farmer about showing off one of these. His farm is called that for a reason!
I have operated a very large one 12 or 14ft one. They are bad ass!!💯
How much for a 14 footer?
@@drakewalker8047 good question this day and age!! I'm not a sales rep... bought this one 12 years ago for around 23k at a auction. Can't imagine what they are going for now new... but what i will say is you better have a big ol hoss of a tractor💯!!🚜💨
they need a mini version of this for home use
Great garden tiller. Let's see it on a typical construction site's baked and packed clay surface that needs sod.
Burying the stones is just postponing the problem....
That's an amazing machine
Burying rocks look good until the first frost and thaw pushes them up to the surface but, I guess by then the contractor is long gone.
the frost / thaw cycle isn't much of an issue if you're seeding the finished product with grass because the roots help keep most of that soil in place. but yes, if you've got a 16cm till depth and bury a 15cm rock, the soil will settle by 30% or more which makes it look like that rock floats to the surface. best solution (if you're not seeding) is to rip the soil ahead of time and pick out any rocks that are likely to stick out after settling.
Oh man
.. i want one of those for my back yard
It sure makes a nice finish but it needs a rock basket. Covering the rocks not picking them is just hack job.
I have a small bit of land, a small garden, and I want this just for fun. It would save me 3 hours per year.
There is another machine which grinds the rocks to dust. Few people seem to know about that one either.
One sweet machine.
That's great for smart gardens
Great 👍 thanks
so it puts the rocks under the ground where the roots grow? How is that helpful?
This seems like it would be great for motocross tracks.
This is kind of like hiding your broccoli underneath your mashed potatoes!!😂
Knowing how expensive attachments are, I can't imagine even the smallest of these is less than $7,000.
Smallest unit (which attaches to a mini-skid) starts @ just over 9k.
To a layperson, $9,000 and up sounds like a lot of money, but to a moderate-sized family farm, let alone a big corporate one, that’s not really that bad if you’ve got a need for this kind of equipment on a regular basis.
Yes, I expect there is Sticker Shock. Today I bought a front mounted brush Shredder and the price of implements are through the roof. You either pay for the sweat or hired labor or make the tractor and your sizable investment there more efficient. Also the older you become, the more you have to take advantage of mechanical advantages. I get it.
Its a shame you won't share the general price as of a certain date.. " Starting at $50,000 as of such and such." I think I called a couple years ago and was told they start around $35,000 for the small one.
No-till regenerative agriculture is the only way.
any solid sources on regenerative agriculture?
Italians have NEXT generation, smashes up the rocks into tiny tiny pieces...WINNING!
The problem is that we need to be working in a direction that gets more farmers using no-till farming techniques. When farmers till the ground, it kills the microbiome that breaks down plant materials into new soil thus making the plant material rot in a way that releases a lot of CO2
CO2 is an awesome fertilizer and not to be feared. People go to great lengths to increase the CO2 of their grows.
People practice no-till for erosion control and labor reduction, not CO2.
I wish RotaDairon made a machine like this one but in a size of a compact bobcat. It's a great piece of technology, but for the 50% of Americans whose yard space is pretty small and involves lots of tight work around buildings/fences/obstacles, a machine this size isn't practical to negotiate a tight back yard or side yard.
Also, how does the RotaDairon do when encountering tree roots? Here in heavily wooded Appalachia, a lot of yard space is loaded with not only rocks but also shallow tree roots. I'd love to turn my sideyard into a smooth well tilled growing bed like this, but I can't figure out what piece of machinery could do it.
You didn't watch the video , did you .
@@onthelake9554 🤣🤣🤣
There is actually a smaller version of this machine and it can be used on a mini track unit that you stand on the back of our local Kubota dealer had one a few years ago that they rented I think the mini machine was called a Dingo
Would like to have seen the machine in action more throughout the video.
machine for killing all your earthworms
It’s a great tool for someone that needs it every year, but if your just trying to get a leveled lawn like I am then it’s not worth the buy, you guys need to have rental deals with local dealers, Sunbelt rental, etc etc.
No way will it get it that smooth in one pass
Either there's a huge error in the video that not 1 single person in this thread caught, or this is a hunk of junk. The video says you can process up to 4000 sq. ft. per hour. I'm sorry, but that works out to a little more than 10 hours per acre. I don't have that much time to spend turning my field over.
the SqFt/hour is variable depending on the model and ground speed. Sometimes it's 4,000, sometimes it's 30,000.
This would be perfect to break new ground for a garden if it collected the rocks instead of reburying them.
Why rocks are homes to microbes and the rocks has nutrients in them made available to your plants if you have living soil...
@@mikaellindqvist5599 This implement would work great for planting a new monoculture lawn or something else with super shallow roots, but for general gardening/farming it needs to grab or eliminate the big rocks. While it is true rocks can break down and add to the soil. It can take many years/eons for big rocks to break down. I am looking to improve rocky soils I can farm in quickly. I wouldn't mind if it crushed the big rocks into dust and gravel to eliminate the size/bulk of the rocks so the micronutrients and minerals they contain were more available to plants, but big rocks hidden just under the surface doesn't help any root crop, veg, or grain. They represent impediments to a healthy root system and contribute practically nothing to the plants as large rocks.
Interested in no-till. Would like to see a machine that could make divots. In bare soil I'd want a dense divots. It areas where grass cover could be enhanced I'd want quite a bit more spacing.
Why don’t more people use these! I spent a week picking out every little rock out of horse pits on a ranch
Because this machine doesn’t remove rocks.
I have five acres of hardpack granite. I have a feeling this machine wouldn't have much effect on breaking through that layer and tilling the soil effectively. I suppose after a heavy rain it might be able to loosen that soil.
Some bit of kit👍
OH MY WORD! I NEED TO RENT ONE OF THESE! I would have my entire back yard done faster than you can drink a can of soda!
I'm thinking about getting my wife one of these. She keeps complaining that her ground hasn't been tilled in years.
Neat, but why not just remove the rocks alltogether? it seems to me that burying them is just kicking the problem downthe road for the next machine to break it's blade on.
" This unit allows me to fire 4 workers so I earn higher profits that put me in a higher tax bracket so I will net exactly the same revenue butt won't have a manual workforce when this contraption breaks down".
Brilliant progress.
Don't ever let those workers you fired find you alone on a project site with your back to them...
great salesman
Should advertise at hunting shows. Hunting food plots are HUGE business.
Is this machine useful for salad beds? I like the smooth surface, but would the buried stones interfere with rooting of vegetables. Perhaps the screen can be removed and it works like a regular rotavator.
I like it but what is a problem to me is this. those rocks are buried...If they could be collected that would be a WINNER! I enjoyed your presentation nice machine.
Id like to see a video of it actually working instead of 3 sec clips of perfection coming out of the back
Tons of amazing well thought out comments. I'll just say, regular duty is just normal crap. And heavy duty is a lot of crap that's hard to deal with.😅👍 Just feeling silly✌️
Bearing the rocks just means you're just gonna have to pick them up later
Would make next year's pass teeth chattering
Wish I could rent one to take care of my Lumpy back yard
If only i did enough work to cover the cost of one i would consider a STONY 90 as that's all my tractor can take and thankfully has rare reduction box so it can spin that slow. Still makes me laugh how often the equipment is more than the tractor using it.
Great job on the design, but still don't know why companies make you ring them for a price or wont post online...time is money
I need one. And I don't even have a square foot of dirt, but I need one.
