On a list in a cash flow the item "roto bator" appears. I found it in Spanish pages but I cannot find its equivalent in English.
Have you ever seen it in English? Perhaps you could help me.
Thanks!

I should add, this is a brand name that, at least in Spain, has become the common (generic) name for the implements.

roto-bator
This will not be translated, it is a name, it is a concrete rotating vibrator used to ensure the concrete mix reaches all the areas of the mold.

: It must be translated, or explained in English, otherwise English speakers won't have a clue.//I have just said it would not be understood by an English speaker so RotaVator.

rotary tiller
Well, based on the ref below it must be a piece of farming equipment/machinery, so this is the best I can do :-)
