What is the name/make of this rotator?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hi All,
I recently saw this rotavator at an auction and took a photo – but didn’t take the name etc! I can’t find a picture of it online to help me figure out what it is. I have a feeling it is a Monro tiller – as it is very similar to some online, but I can’t find this specific one and it’s full name. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John.

I believe its a Landmaster “Kestrel” dating from the mid 1950,s.The engine is a 4-stroke Villiers MK25.

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for that – it does indeed look to be a Landmaster, but I think it might in fact be a Landmaster rotary hoe such as the one as the below link:

Any thoughts on where to find one or is it a case of waiting for one to turn up on the internet?
John.
