Allen Scythes stopped being made in 1973. I think this one was made (near Oxford, England) in the late 1950s – it could be 70 years old but it still works extraordinarily well. They stopped making them because they are very dangerous – the blades are running all the time, it jumps forward without notice and it’s default clutch setting is drive – yes, you have to actively stop it moving! But it trundles through thick mud like a tank and it cuts wet grass and rushes with ease. We bought it for just this job – to control weeds in our fields. It was advertised on Donedeal here in Ireland and there seem to be others on there regularly. If you’d like to take on repairing the second machine – get in touch!
