No idea what category to put this in, Neat wee toy, not my kind of thing but have to appreciate the engineering. Definitely a bit different...

Now that looks like fun. Turn up at the local bucket meet and watch the rule book pages fly.

There is no category for rotaries in Buckets so it couldn't be eligible, even though it isn't a competition based lawn mower :mellow:

That is pretty cool though.

Isn't there a formula used to calculate rotary cc so they can decide what class they run in though?

found it, straight from the MNZ rule book

10-15 The Formulae to Calculate Cubic Capacity:

10-15-1 Reciprocating piston motors: Diameter of cylinder bore in centimetres, squared,
multiplied by 0.7854, multiplied by stroke in centimetres, multiplied by number of
cylinders.

10-15-2 Rotary combustion (Wankel Patent): Capacity of one working chamber in cubic
centimetres, multiplied by number of rotors, multiplied by two.

making it 220cc equivalent, therefore not eligible.

Damn. There goes another cunning plan - to watch peoples heads explode as they debate the rules.:corn:

You probably arnt going to beleave this but I have NOS for it as well but Im only going to fit it when I get to 35psi and it hasn't gone bang yet! So it probably won't get fitted!!
