Yes indeed the man was a legend I was lucky enough to meet him at the Dorset Steam Fair some years ago He died in November 2004, amazing that its nearly a decade since his passing...

I see the Wheelhorse mafia were out in force...

Triumph 2000

REM, Kings of Leon, Green Day, Eagles...

You should have said the chassis number was STIG001 that would have baffled him !!

Love that Merry Truck, our mate from Wiltshire has got one of those amongst other Merry Tiller machines, I am going to challenge him to a slow race with my Multigardner truck one day !!

Another really smart machine Jeff, what a great collection you have !

Series 3 Land Rover, definite Friday afternoon model, cost me a fortune and was known as either "the Money Pit" or just "Bitch" depending on my mood !!!

Thanks steve, no doubt we will breathe some life into it... Musuem ?? It would need to be a big one !!

Superb restoration, well done !!

I have just won a Clinton engined Multigardner on that well known auction website Just need to go to Dorchester and pick it up, that will complete the set.... chuffed....

Your next project then Neil !!

Can't say it bothers me either...

Heres a photo of the Multigardner and trailer reassembled with cowling, tank and transfers back on All transfers courtesy of TITCH, top man !!

Nice pair of machines Charlie, as the custodian of three Wheelhorses and one Cub Cadet 100 I reckon they are equally as good as each other...

Hi Jeff, fantastic restoration, nice one !!

Hi Jeff, sorry for any confusion, its actually two machines but more than two implements... the engine unit can be detached from one implement and then used on the other, the unit that was on the little mower is now on the trailer unit, the second machine purchased with the rotavator unit has stayed on that unit. I was pleased to get the trailer, not a bad deal for £25 !!

Sea Horse... hmmm perhaps a new project for The Showman !!

These two machines both have Briggs and Stratton 3hp four stroke engines they also made the Multigardner with a two stroke Clinton unit...

Thats gorgeous isn't it, bet you could get a few tractors on the back of that !! (carefully)

Nice piece of kit, you would have to be doing something very silly to get that stuck !!

That looks a tad wet underfoot Kev !!

I haven't got the Tarpen unit Neil, but I do have a good diagram of it, a spare Tarpen drive and a couple of good mates who are handy with a welder so watch this space...

At last years Ardingly Vintage vehicle show I was offered what sounded like a graveyard mower from a gent in Eastbourne down on the South Coast (steve d country)... this turned out to be a Multigardner, a machine made by Farmfitters ltd which comprised a self contained power unit which could be used on a variety of implements Shortly after buying this machine I was offered the correct trailer and rotavator unit for it for a nominal sum, needless to say car and trailer were heading to Wiltshire fairly quickly (we love a road trip) Soon afterwards another Multigardner turned up in Somerset on our favourite auction website, this was duly collected and brought back to life I will put some more photos up when I have downsized them, here's some to be going on with...

SUPERB !!! Top job Ian
