FAQs
What type of ground can you clear with a scythe mower?
A scythe mower is particularly effective when maintained lawn has given way to long grass and tougher vegetation. These machines are commonly used for cutting meadows, paddocks, orchards, field margins and other overgrown areas. A petrol scythe mower can be a highly productive alternative to a handheld brushcutter when clearing larger areas where an ordinary lawn mower isn't suitable.
Why choose a power scythe for cutting long grass?
Unlike a conventional rotary mower, a power scythe uses a reciprocating cutter bar that slices vegetation with a scissor-like action. This cutting method makes it particularly effective on tall grass and meadow growth, which can prove difficult for standard mowing equipment. The cut material is left relatively intact too, which can be advantageous when grass is being cut for hay or subsequently collected.
Are motor scythes suitable for rough or sloping terrain?
Many motor scythes are designed specifically for agricultural-style grass cutting and challenging ground, making them useful across rougher areas and moderate slopes. Their suitability for inclines varies between machines, however, so factors such as tyres, traction, weight distribution and manufacturer guidance should always be considered. If you're buying a scythe mower for sloping land, check the permitted gradient for the individual model.
Which manufacturers produce scythe mowers?
Established garden and agricultural machinery manufacturers including AL-KO, BCS and STIGA produce scythe mowers for a variety of applications. Their ranges include machines suitable for anything from managing long grass on private land to more demanding vegetation clearance. When comparing scythe mowers for sale, consider cutting width, transmission, manoeuvrability and intended workload rather than choosing on brand name alone.
Can a scythe mower be used for jobs other than cutting grass?
Some power scythes are built around versatile drive units that accept different attachments, allowing the machine to perform considerably more than seasonal grass cutting. Depending on the manufacturer and model, compatible equipment can include brushes, ploughs and snow-clearing attachments. A suitable multi-purpose motor scythe can therefore provide a practical year-round solution for land and property maintenance.
