paul 64 #1 Posted January 19, 2015 Hi All Got this yesterday. A Allen & Simmonds horti culto with four sets of blades and a spare set of wheels. It has a Villiers mk7 engine on it but no spark as yet. Any info on these machines would be great as I have never seen one.

Horti Ireland 1 #7 Posted May 5, 2016 Hello, Just found this post - a little late I know! I have one of these in my shed. My Da bought it new in the early '60s. You can remove the rotovator bit and fit a grass mower. We used it for many many years - both to cut a large lawn area and to cultivate our vegetable patch. My Da removed the blue cover from the tines because stones regularly got caught there and stalled the machine! It was a heavy machine to push around the lawn - I remember as a 12 year old! There was also a hedge trimmer which attached to the other side from the above picture. I remember there being a book with it but I don't think I have it. I haven't started it in a good many years. The mower is attached at present. I will try and get a photo at some stage. Jim. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
