OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers Scott Bonnar Aerator: Identification

Hi Everyone,

Sorry if this is off topic but this forum seems to be overflowing with SB knowledge so I thought it would be the place to go.

I recently went to buy a couple of SB45s and the owner asked if I wanted this as well. Of course I said yes!

Been looking around and can't find any info on SB aerators. Does anyone know anything about this machine?

It is an electric belt drive aerator with 6 x 1/2" drill bits across the back.

Love to hear what people know about it.

Hi Peter,

If I recall correctly these were around in the early 1960's and were basically aimed at the professional / Semi Pro greenkeepers market and this one was aimed at the serious home / property owner, while the square block multi drill unit was for the greenkeepers

I'm sure I've got this one in a brochure stored away. I'll have a look and report back.

Cheers,
BB.

Hello Peter and Mod BB

A version of this is shown in the 1963 catalogue:-

Thanks heaps Jack and BB. Always good to know a bit of the history. Ill be sure to pass on to previous owner too as he didnt know much about its past either.

As you can see in the pic im far from a professional greenkeeper but handy to have all the same ... maybe one day.
