Suprisingly enough, that has to be the first walk behing roto tiller with a vertical shaft engine. Must be a weight balance issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggs and Stratton were HUGE over here in the 70's and 80's.. But I don;t recall hearing about a rotovator (or rotary tiller as you guys call them) from Massey in the 70's or 80's \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 think the massey name was only really ascossiated with agriculture & industrial applications marky , so unless you were into the horticultural side of things maybe this wouldn't be noticed good though isn't it , wonder where the biggest market for these was ? & how many have survived working or not ?
