Those rougher areas which defeat a lawnmower used to be cut with the smooth swish of a scythe.
In ancient, faded photographs the scene looks relaxed and tranquil, but anyone who has ever used a proper scythe with a razor sharp blade and long ash handle will tell you it’s anything but – it’s hard, back-breaking work.
If you have an area overgrown with weeds and nettles and bramble, this five-star reviewed, best-selling little machine is the answer.
MD Tondu Wheeled Trimmer Mower has a flat nosed-front which houses a strimming head with thick nylon cord strong enough to deal with banks of nettles and heavier weeds.
It is very easy to control as it is hand-propelled and with it working width of 56cm can deal with large areas of scrub quickly and efficiently.
Because of its design it can be pushed under trees and close to walls and hedges and the height to which it cuts can be adjusted from 35mm to 70mm.
It is also ideal for using on drives and banks and on roadside verges where it is much quicker than a strimmer.
A 160cc propels the strimming head and the handlebars fold down for easier transport and storage.
