I need to remove a large area of grass - i'll be fucked if im doing it by hand (shovel) so whats best a mechanical cultivator or a rotovator

Speedy-hire has both but no description on either

reverse for if you get stuck! not sure if it is actually reverse, the 1 i have isnt geared so not sure

the one at HSS isnt geared, it'l be hard work, but still easier than a shovel
