Is it one of those wood chipping machines?

You are in the right area. It isn't a wood chipper, but it does cut vegetation.

I took the photos when I was visiting Cudham village.



This view is of the bottom section of the business end of the machine.

It isn't a Flymo ( they are orange) it's far more industrial than a lawnmower. It tackles heavier duty vegetation. Look at the photos for clues.

BTW, these machines, when in use, can frustrate motorists!

Hedgerow flail machine? The one used by councils to abominate the verges.

Yes, you have it Stranding.

Aren't they destructive machines! Like you, I hate them. Here are some other photos.













Hopefully this challenge is an education for our international friends.

Don't they have these horrible machines elsewhere? They are vile.

As a contrast, we used to live next door to a farmer who cut ALL his field hedges by hand with grass shears... Took him all year. He also had the night soil lorry come every Monday, no electricity, water from a well. When his sister died one night, he came over to us & said I had to go and lay her out...because the woman whose job that was in the village had just moved away. I had no idea how to do anything like that, still don't... The pair were living in the century before the century before that!

I'm due out to ride ( in training for 2012:-) ) so can't monitor. I have an easy one ready but it can wait.
So this challenge is open to anyone to jump in.
