"Flail mowers are a better choice for areas of overgrown brush and vines, and their design reduces the risk of injury from flying debris." Flail mowers excel at cutting vines and brush.

The most significant disadvantage of a brush cutter is knowing the cutting methods required to prevent harm to oneself or the equipment. Because brush cutters have a defined cutting area, you can't just whack at the vegetation from any angle.

Brush cutters: What they are and what they do

They're especially useful in deep ditches and steep hillsides, where regular lawn equipment can't go. A brush cutter's revolving heavy-duty cord or metal blades can quickly cut through vegetation and sapling trunks up to 2 inches in diameter.

One of the most useful tools is what is known as a “brush hog” or “rotary cutter.” Brush hogs are commonly called “bush hogs” but that is a brand name. “Rotary cutter” is another commonly used term to describe the same implement.

Loppers are designed for clearing heavy vegetation from trails. Loppers have sharp blades and long handles to make fast, clean cuts through brush and thinner branches 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Sometimes branches will resist, instead of twisting the handles, opt for a saw to get the ful life out of the lopper.

Start at the edge of the untamed field and cut just half a swath at a time. Drive slowly while discharging the grass into an area you've already mowed. This will limit the amount of grass being fed to the blades. It will also provide you with an opportunity to feel out the territory as you drive.
