I have an old Barford atom but sadly too big and crazy for my patch and I’m too old/knackered to hang on behind it! I only have the finger mower and rotavator attachments but you can add single furrow ploughs as well.

its actually bigger then he figured its 61.02 ci per liter the figures he got approximate work out to 1335.7 cubic inch , Grandfather had an old hot cap single, it would sit and run all day cannot remember but i think it was governed to somewhere in the 200 to 300 rpm max . remarkable for a simple reed induction engine and they ran if all day when thrashing grain, he also had i think it was a galloway hit or miss they rarely used
