Gwiz is lucky to be able to name 5. If it has a Honda engine you are near the top. If you have a honda you are very lucky.

hi, just bought my first rotavator today, it is a versatiller (big thing) with a 5hp Briggs and Stratton engine, what do you guys think?

Gwiz · « **Reply #7 on:** April 07, 2007, 18:06 »

i had never heard of it till you just mentioned it.
just did a google, and it looks a fine bit of kit. if its got the wheels like the ones in the photos, bigbadfrankie and shaun are going to like it too!

Look similar to a howard 200. Lovely machine shold be great and with the 7" width it will go great between the rows. Good choice.

never heard of them done a wee search and they are all newbies but they look just fine.
