PART 3 - SIGNIFICANCE

The Rotamatic was out of date within a season after it hit the showroom floor.
This post will discuss why I think that way.

By late 1950s standards the Rotamatic lacked the features that would define what
the Australian rotary lawn mower should be: recoil starter; single-point height adjustment.

I also think the machine was overly complex - with its rigid blades and safety clutch.
The engine was probably underpowered.

The Rotamatic is clearly collectable and they are very rare nowadays.

The rest is history.
