Clive, If you would like to advertise it in the Cultivator, send me an email to cultivator-editor@outlook.com with a picture, your name, phone and area in which the machine is kept and it’ll go in the February edition.

Alternatively you could fill in the contact form on here and that’ll get to me.

I think it’s a German Hako, badged by Agria, Howards sold them as well, under the name Howard Hako, they have a JLO engine.

Well she wouldn’t want to catch her dress in the blades,now, would she? This one from 1968 shows a likely lad with a Merry Tiller, probably dragged from an office and he don’t look too happy about it!

Hi Pete, The front mounting came later, I have used my rear mounted one for snow clearance and it works OK. Pictures show it in 2012 and 2013, last time we had snow worth clearing in Wiltshire!

I’m looking forward to it! It was great in 2015, thanks to a lot of hard work by our East Anglian cousins but it’s a good way from Wessex!

Mine’s 1953, I would like a couple more, though….

I haven’t, I was lucky the previous owner had replaced the ones on mine prior to putting it into Auction. I wonder if you can still get them from Agricultural suppliers….

Cheers, Chaps, but a mistake has been pointed out to me. On page 3 AGM venue, it is Junction 19 but it stated that it was the Clevedon turn off, it isn’t, it’s the Portbury Services turn off.
