The rotary field mower is the all rounder in the world of rough grass machinery, capable of maintaining large open areas of grass, and, with the right model, also able to clear rough scrub and mature undergrowth with relative ease. A heavy duty metal blade housed beneath a sturdy steel cutting deck is the normal design of these machines, with at least one forward gear to aid travel over uneven ground. Often favoured by professional landscapers and those needing to clear areas out of the reach of heavy agricultural machinery, their comparatively small size and low weight makes them exceptionally manoeuvrable on difficult terrain. Owners of large properties will find these machines invaluable for keeping pastures and areas of parkland properly maintained throughout the growing season.
