Self-Propelled Gardening Machine

Self-Propelled Gardening Machine MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Handicapped Equipment 22-4-18 Disabled or elderly gardeners who have trouble getting around will love this new self-propelled gardening machine that makes it easy for anyone to do the work. Noren Olson's "Garden Master" was introduced at the recent Minnesota Inventors Congress at Redwood Falls, Minn. It's built like a mini center pivot irrigator, with a powered wheel at the outer end that "walks" a heavy beam around a center pivot point. A comfortable operator's seat moves back and forth along the beam. The center pivot point consists of a steel post. The beam is made of 4 by 6-in. steel tubing. The powered driver unit is fitted with a 13-in. auto wheel. The Garden Master is available with either an 8 hp gas or 1 hp electric engine. Price was still being determined at press time.
