Hello ODK History Lovers
This article discusses Victa's association with Kaye Turf Equipment - an Australian
Manufacturer founded by Ron Kaye. Ron Kaye is one of the unsung heroes of Australian
manufactured turf equipment and his legacy is of world-wide importance today.
[see Related Reading]

Ron Kaye holds dozens of patents on various topics - but his focus lay in turf
machinery: rollers, aerators, and mowers.

Kaye would have received national and international exposure by its fortunate
association with Victa. It was a mutual arrangement too - In the mid-1970s Victa
made a significant decision that changed the very nature of that company. Victa
moved from being a lawnmower manufacturer to being a garden products company.

More importantly, it was no longer just a local manufacturer: it felt comfortable
in marketing both local and imported products under the Victa brand.

This 1970's brochure features three of Kaye's machines:
- Kaye tractor-mounted Multi-Rotary Mower
- Kaye Ride-on Multi Roller for bowling greens
- Kaye Corer & Spiker
