Every person engaged in agriculture knows firsthand how many physical forces take spring and summer cottages. Looking at the untreated land, uncircumcised bushes and unplowed beds, the imagination paints pictures of the distant past, in which the peasants were forced to plow the hectares of fields with their own hands.
However, not everything is so sad, because in our time most of the work can be facilitated by modern garden equipment. However, before you replenish your arsenal of garden tools, you need to determine their purpose and functional characteristics. This is where the "House of Dreams" will help you today, telling about different types of equipment for giving and garden, which will help you cope with the work on the site.

Land cultivation equipment
If the technique for giving and garden is primarily necessary for plowing and cultivating the land, then take a closer look at modern motoblocks. The functions of this equipment include loosening and plowing, forming ridges and cultivating the soil. According to the type of device, the motor-block can be diesel, gasoline or electric.
This device is also convenient because, with the use of special attachments and replacement mechanisms, it can be used as a hay collector, lawn mower or a machine for harvesting snow and leaves. In addition, if you connect a trailer to a tractor unit, it will turn into a mini tractor, without which it is difficult to do on sites remote from the house or outbuildings.

A cultivator is also a good helper in caring for large tracts. The function of this device is to loosen the soil and eliminate weedy vegetation. Cultivators are usually classified by weight and capacity:
- The lightest are aggregates with a weight of up to 30 kg and a capacity of four horsepower. With their help you can engage in loosening the soil between rows and beds.
- The weight of medium cultivators exceeds 50 kg, and their power is about 6-7 horsepower. The units of this group are designed to work between shrubs and trees, and also for loosening the soil to a depth of 10cm.
- The weight of the heaviest cultivators exceeds 90 kg. Units of this type are recommended to be used only in areas exceeding 1 ha.

The most important device for caring for a garden in which trees and broadshrubs, is a saw. An ordinary hand saw is rather an inventory, however its electrical varieties will become indispensable and reliable assistants for every summer resident or owner of a private house with a plot.
Electric saws are divided into household and professional. Household saws are designed to remove withered or thick branches. Depending on the power, this unit can work continuously from one to five hours. The main function of professional electric saws is to roll a forest or a sawmill. To care for the suburban area of small and medium size, a household electric saw will suffice.

Also necessary technique for giving and garden, where there are tall trees, includes a device such as a skyscraper. High-rises are units that are used to form the crown of trees, as well as to cut them. By the type of device they are gasoline, electric and battery. The main difference between electric and battery models is manifested in their environmental safety.
In addition to skyscrapers, it is possible to form crowns in trees with thin branches using brush cutters, which are also used to cut bushes.

Lawn care technology
Perhaps the most essential equipment for landowners is the units whose functions are lawn care. Such units, in the first place, include trimmers and lawn mowers.
The main function of the mower is to evenly mow the grass. By type of device they can be self-propelled or non-self-propelled, as well as gasoline or electric. Owners of small areas( up to six acres) need a small technique for a dacha, which is compact in size and relatively small in power. As for the choice of lawn mowers, it is better to purchase electric models for small areas, whereas for large areas only gasoline units are suitable.

The function of trimmers, like lawn mowers, is to mow grass. However, unlike the first devices, these devices work almost silently and are ideal for processing not only a flat and free surface, but also for leveling the edge of lawns, processing the land decorated with decorative elements and paths, except this, with the help of such trimmers can be very neattrim the bushes, of which hedges are made.
However, please note that electrical appliances for cottages, including trimmers and lawn mowers, have one significant minus - the dependence on energy supply. If there are interruptions in the supply of electricity on your site, then it is more rational to choose mechanical models of units. These devices are equipped with special knives, cutting grass at a given height. To save your own time, it is better to choose models with a built in grass collector, which allows you to immediately collect chamfered grass. Another advantage of mechanical lawn mowers and trimmers is that because of the absence of the motor, it is practically impossible to break them. However, the disadvantage is the need to make physical efforts to carry out their work.

Technique for cleaning the site
Cleaning the mown grass and garbage is almost the most urgent problem for every summer resident, as, as a rule, at the height of the season, garbage occupies an impressive place on the site. However, this problem is very easily solved with the help of a special chopper. Shredders, or garden shredders, are of several types:
- universal - recycle garbage of a very different kind and size;
- shredder branches - can process only shoots of plants, garbage and branches.
Regardless of the size of the plot, a more functional and convenient garden technique for cottages is a universal chopper.

This is not all garden equipment that can be useful in the work of truckers. Depending on the size and purpose of the site, for comfortable maintenance it is worth looking at such units as trenchers, garden vacuums, air outlets, aerosols, etc. A separate group can be identified snow-removing equipment, but we'll talk about it closer to winter. ..
