The bizarre moment an Alloa man decided to trim his hedges with a lawnmower.

The video, filmed on Ashley Terrace in Alloa, shows the man - who seems like he doesn't have a care in the world - picking up the large grass-cutter outside his home and tackling the hedges.

What's bizarre or hilarious about that? Seems a perfectly sensible
quick trimming of a straggly hedge without having the bother of
getting out a more suitable tool.

I've also found the lawn mower, albeit a spinning blade petrol model, to
be a good alternative to a shredder. Just pile up a heap of soft
prunings on the grass and raise the front of the mower as the heap is
traversed.

Its a lightweight electric mower, the hedge isnt particularly high, its
a tool that he has. Not ideal but if I didnt have a hedge trimmer Id
probably try the same.

If you look around in the countryside, you can often see a JCB fitted with a
grass cutter like appendage mounted vertically to cut back hedges where
there is no footway.

A circular saw blade can be used instead of the more usual flail head on
tractor mounted hedge trimmers.

Useful for taking down branches from long neglected hedges.

Nice finish to trimmed hedges but 'king slow.

So what. We used to do that for years before strimmers came along.

Our next door neighbour had a hedge trimmer which worked the same way: a
flat spinning, lawn-mower-type blade inside a housing. It had a fat hose
which fed the clippings into a bag, possibly with a suction fan which helped
them on their way.

OK it was designed for the job, which a hover mower isn't, but what this
chap is doing is not as daft as it looks.

There is a youtube clip of a septic using a ride-on lawnmower
to trim the top of his conifer hedge.

Lawnmower was suspended from a multi-purpose agricultural
loader by straps.

:-) I did once *find* a stay cable for an 11kV overhead corner post.

The repair team were very kind and didn't send me a bill.

I see nothing wrong with the concept, its gone on for years via a lawn mower
appendage on a jcb mounted vertically where hedges need cutting and there is
no pavement. Works very well but some poor sod has to follow clearing up the
mess of course!

In fact I've cut the top of my hedge with a Flymo, because my
neighbours don't thin down their side, and the total width has grown
more than my hedge cutter can reach easily. The other way is to mount
the trimmer on a board which rests on the nearest part of the hedge,
and I can slide the whole arrangement over to cut the complete top.
