Hi what's your location.

You could hire one from Gerorge Rose, Buxted High St, about 8hp would do. Or a BCS Engine unit with rotovator attachment if you can find one second hand.

Morning ! IMA a good two wheel tractor and a rotavator attachment even second hand will be £12-1400. new three times that, but a two wheel tractor is more suited to other attachments, flail, snow mover etc .

I have a friend who deals in them. I will ask him if you like?

 

Cheers

BCS are pretty good, until you hit a rock but it's the same with any rotovator!

Hi I always use my camon for your average garden laying jobs, however, on a job that size I use a burretto, I think its spelt. Available from hire shops, painted red its a hydraulic power and sheer weight, that beast rips through and it doesn't hang about. About half as much again to hire as a camon, approx. 80? for the day. well worth it. Hope this helps all the best

Thanks guys, im located in Bexhill East Sussex

 

Ideally looking to buy but hiring may be the 2nd best option ha

 

Burytreeman - Could you ask about for any 2nd hand models?

 

will continue to search ebay, any other sites or locations I could try?

You want an old howard gem or 350 mate, buy it do your job and then sell on..

Its A pity your not closer, I'm thinking of getting rid of a Howard Yeoman plus a second one for spares.Its bigger than a 350 and a bit smaller than a Gem and will rip straight into virgin land.
