Congrats to Charlie you got them right and it is a Landmaster 100. Roatavator these are the ones out of the cultivator since getting the 35 I’ve been on the lookout for some of the other types they did and this job lot has provided another 3 models. They all turn over with great compression except for the one 56 as that had the head removed and has since seized up. As for marriages I tied the knot on Saturday and we fetched these on the Monday with my new wife even helping to load them and arrange them on the van!! The rowtrac was from an auction site it’s missing the engine as it was sadly removed to go in a motorbike. However the tin work is in brilliant condition and even retains its original badge. As a bonus the seller is forwarding on the rowtrac specific parts off the engine (drive sprocket, flywheel fan , exhaust mantlet etc) so in time I can find an engine and get her running again. I’ll post some photos of each machine once I’ve put the rowtrac back together and the simars have been separated.

I am with Alan & say Landmaster with B&S engine

Were these the ones advertised in the Cultivator? I was very tempted by all the SIMARS but have almost filled up my covered space and value my marriage!

Wish I could be with you, but Swindon from Norfolk at 40mph 95 decibels in the Commer is a step too far!
Hope you all have good weather and a great time, looking forward to seeing photos (and possibly videos?)

Hi Jim,

What time will the farm be open to on Friday evening ?

I’ll be bringing a couple of machines over then and a couple on Saturday.

See you then.

Got it up and running without too much effort and it seems to have done a decent job on a bit of allotment that isn’t planted yet… Will try it off the trolley soon as I want to burn out the fence edge of my plot…

Nice one Charlie!
And there are lots of benefits:-
1. You immediately regain the garage.
2. Its big enough for a small but reasonably stocked bar, discreetly concealed in a corner behind a curtain.
3. In the event they fly the nest one day, think how much space there is for an expanded horticultural collection.
4. And if they boomerang there’s space for them to live in and make as much noise as they want without upsetting the parents! (No, Mr Planning Officer, he’s only joking!)

Here’s the link, she will now rev very freely and feels as if she has power to work.

I decided the timing was wrong, adjusted and now running a lot better.
