offtheradar 175 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I use a flail mower. Used to rent one for around £55 a day but recently bought a decent second hand one. And as already mentioned use a long reach hedge cutter in tight spaces and around trees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CushtyJook 1,097 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Machine not handtool around half acre of bramble bushes that not been touched in 30 year Well then a tractor and swipe I guess and I reckon I could get through bramble quicker with a hedge trimmer than that allen scythe. Can't get a tractor in thier as there is no gateway just a small gap of 2 foot can't remove trees at this stage to widen entrance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
