Hello ODK history lovers
The Demon was a two-wheel tractor designed and made by
Finlay Brothers of Melbourne.

The idea of a tractor with attachments was not a new one.
In fact, post-WWII – many two-wheel tractors landed on these
shores, with accessories to suit the home gardener (on acreage)
and the small agricultural hobby farmer.

The Demon was different – it was Australian designed and made.
The accessory system was termed as the ‘Portomatic Method’ –
a system of quick-change attachments for sawing, post boring,
pumping, and rotary mowing.

I remind readers that the Finlay 24” rotary mower attachment
must be considered an early use - on these shores - of the
rotary grass cutter. I mean, Tecnico gave us our first electric
rotary in 1948; Victa our first petrol rotary in 1952. Finlay were
using this just two years after this. Brilliant!
