Hi Folks just thought Id put up a post about a recent find. A 20 inch Trimmer with a 3HP B and S motor, hopefully be running soon. 

Couldnt find anything about it on the site so  it might interest a few members. It came from a firm Hentons of Nottingham. You can still buy them now called California trimmer , Looks like a well made machine ,

Yes a bit unusual but being from the USA & 1980's probably not considered that collectable & no doubt the reason for not many references. I have had  a couple over the years & we did have a running example at the 2012 annual rally at Milton Keynes. I understand from another member they were imported by Garfitts in the 1980's, the design probably for longer grass & rough cut work.
