Camon rotavator

[the hedge man]

Has anyone got one of these, heard they do a good job.

 

Any reviews??

 

Looking to buy one to rotavate alotments in my spare time. Has anyone got one they want to sell me?

I have had a few over the years, good reliable machines, we hire them out and they rarely need more than an oil change and blades changing, it pays to keep decent blades on it, from a time factor the time decent blades save far out way the cost.

Second hand they generally command a decent price

So far we have always had the C8 but when we replace next time we will probably go with the C10 although a lot dearer

i had the camon 8hp and the 15hp lombardini which is BCS camon was sold to the trade and BCS to joe public i think its now jst BCS, but cracking machines. the 8hp digs well as it has wheels which pull it along and the gear box turn the rotavator. the bigger beast would do new house builds would throw out house bricks and the like no problem.

but what is good about them is that you can get so many attachments for them. only have to look on there website what you can put on them.

even do a chipper for them. will not go far wrong but if its ex hire it will have had a hard life but so simple to fix the clutch on them take rotavator box off undo clutch which is all enclosed in its own drum and re screw new one on blades can change a set in a hourwith right tools. apart from that not much to go wrong all there is the engine and gearbox and never had to work on the ones we had never failed. new bcs have honda engines so bomb proof.

If you do allotments wont they be fussy about spreading soil diseases such as clubroot etc?

Sounds scary Recently used a 5.5hp Honda on some stony bank I was clearing and it threw itself down the bank when hitting the stone and brick from an old wall.
