Farmfitters Multi Gardner

Recommended Posts

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...

nice looking setup, but I'm confused a little at what I'm seeing. Is this 2 or 3 machines? the one with the 3 wheels..........do

you take the engine off one of the other ones to power that mower part? The cart is a way cool item.

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 !!
