OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums The History Forum Model Histories SCOTT BONNAR Models CATALOGUE - Full Range - c1963

Hello ODK History Lovers

It is with pleasure that the History Forum presents the 1963 Scott Bonnar
Mowing and Turf Maintenance Catalogue. I guess this catalogue would have been
supplied to larger agencies and end users of professional Scott Bonnar Products.
This 27 page document covers both Scott Bonnar manufactured products and other
products they held agency for.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

PART TWO - The Mowers

Scott Bonnar's most acclaimed lawnmower, the Queen, is first. The 30" Model 30
(c1958) had almost 100 per cent of the bowling green market in Australia. The
first Queen, the Model 16 (c1950), was available in electric and petrol variants
for green cutting or general work.

The Model 14 (c1933) Gang Mowers also had, arguably, a large slice of the
Australian market. Of particular note here are the optional catchers. The
Model 17 Supercuts are also offered in electric and petrol variants. Note that
these are offered in 18 and 20 inch sizes, the smaller 14 and 16 inch sizes
having been discontinued and replaced by the cheaper domestic range.

The domestic reels are presented in the Model 33 16 inch (c1960), and the
Model 40 electric and petrol 14 inch machines (c1962). The Model 35 Rotary
19 inch is shown offered with three engine variants. This completes Scott
Bonnar manufactured machines.



OTHER MOWERS
Then there is an eclectic mix of mowers that Scott Bonnar had agencies for,
some exclusive and imported. The first is the National 30 inch Rider Mower;
the Deutscher self-propeller slashers; the Allen Motor-Scythe; and the
Sears Tractor-Drawn Mower.

PART THREE - Turf Maintenance & Sundries

The Turf Maintenance section of the Catalogue has a mix of both Scott Bonnar
manufactured and other products sold by the company.

The Model 46 Scarifier Groover, the Aerators, the 'Tiny Tickler' attachment
and one fertiliser spreader appear to all be of Scott Bonnar manufacture.

The Kaye Triple Rollerator is an important machine; in that it would start the
revolution for motorised roller use on bowling greens.

The Crowe Sweeper is interesting because it was made by Crowe Engineering,
lawnmower manufacturers and distributors in their own right. The Fertilizer
Spreaders, made by different manufacturers, complete this part of the Catalogue.



SUNDRIES
The final part of the Catalogue is devoted to a few sundry items. The Queens
Transporter Cradle, Titan Coring Drills for the aerators, and the Tarpen range
of garden tools.
