Allen powerscythe

[phormium]

here's a picture of some of our Allen's- there are four here one runner and three for spares!. They are finger bar cutters, used for cutting grass/ scrub. 10's of 1,000s of these were made in the uk before the advent of tractor based flails etc. They are all cast-iron, weigh alot and a real beast to use/ control. Believe it or not they're used around our farm yard- not bad for a 50 year old machine! Probably not many of these in the States

Do you ride that thing??? How does it steer?

EDIT: Ohhh, there are two of them in the pic. I see the handels now!
