Allen scythe

Probably not at all what you are looking for, but great fun! (if you can
visualise a clipper of the type you might use for a horse - now add a
petrol motor and scale it up such that the clipping bit is 4 foot wide!)

I'm told that a scythe blade has to be kept very sharp so presumably I
will need some sort of honing stone too?

Yup, razor sharp and they work really nicely. Personally I am quite
pleased with the petrol brush cutter.
