The Rover Heavy Duty slasher mower was a great
success story for Rover Mowers of Eagle Farm, Brisbane.
Its production life spanned three decades!

These digital images present the HD25 as used by Australia
in the Vietnam War.

Why did the AUS military use the HD25?
I guess the obvious reasons were:
- Australian made
- Cost effective
- Simple, rugged design
- Field repairable

These five images held by the Australian War Memorial Photograph Collection
depict the HD25 under extreme conditions and in repair in the 1960s and early 1970s.

It's a pleasure to brings these images to a broader audience.

These three images were most probably taken on the same day.
[The evidence says same identical mower to the Photo above.]

Here, they depict three separate female models posing with another
model … the Morrison Model C.

This was powered by a Villiers 98cc Midget MK1.
Note that the starter (lanyard) is located out of view on the
PTO side of the motor.



A big thank you to Hawke’s Bay Knowledge Bank for making
these images available to the public.

This photograph is well worth a close-examination.

Many thanks for Museum Victoria for making

I could identify this lawnmower because of its distinctive features. It is a
North American Archimedean.

This is an important lawnmower historically, said to be the first patent granted
in North America for a lawnmower. In time frame, we are talking 1860s.

These are high resolution images.

My favourite is Image 5 - 5 men at the Boundy factory.
The image combines classic dramatic themes.
I wonder ... what were they thinking?
