Hi, thanks for the video. I’ve started using an old-fashioned human powered scythe, with a ditch blade, for clearing (mostly) bracken growth, with long-term aim of discouraging bracken and encouraging grass and wildflower growth. Probably slower, but taking into account raking time (or can you mechanise that?), not much slower than strimmer / brush cutter I’ve tried, and much more relaxing!
