Hello
ODK History Lovers
This is an incomplete record for the Scott Bonnar
Model 46 Scarifier / Groover. This machine has not been well documented primarily because it was part
of the
professional range of Scott Bonnar products.
It had a long production run, suggesting it was a successful product.
It was certainly of a sound design. At about a 19" cutting width, with
cutters enclosed within a cast aluminium body. Initially powered by a
Kirby 4-stroke, it would later be powered by Briggs & Stratton engines.
This machine was introduced in the early 1960s when SB were
expanding their professional range. I cannot rule out, however, that
the design dates from the late 1950s. The Model 46 certainly appears
in the
1963 catalogue and 1964 price list I have written about
[see Related Links below].
A 1964 factory price list gives a bit of specification detail: -
