we use to use them when i worked on the farms you need to keep the sections sharp and make sure the gap in the finger is not to big or they never cut
the section should touch the bottom of the finger (leger plate)
I think I know a finger mower as a power sythe (your photo did not help).
Hired one last year. Bloody good at clearing brush. Very physical though.
Ive used finger mowers to cut "Overstood" hay - i.e hay thats well past its best (usable for bedding only not food) and is much tougher and stringier than usual - in this regard they are great, and id imagine great for any scrub / long grass clearance and cutting where the grass has gone to seed a while back - They tend to gum up on shorter grass and as roy said, keep them SHARP - cutting on waste land may be a risk - tin cans etc will blunt the fingers fast and youl find its like cutting wet grass with shears pretty quick.
im not sure why i put that machine picture up :)
reciprocating mower is another one i think.
To OP: to remind you to dig out the ash whips at the back i think!
Lol.
i never did that job. despite delivering a written quote on my way to a weekend in wales to see my dad: they even invited me in for a brew :
retired folk wanted new slabs laying on top off old ones (which we would not do) 4 yrs ago & it was like an interegation with there son , Rupert there ! they were perfectly able to understand, talk and walk. tough northeners and not to old at all.
Bizzare consultation...
