Bush Scythe Fux 45

This short bush scythe is used for cutting tree shoots up to 1.5 cm thick. It is also good in uneven rocky terrain or in confined spaces – for example when cutting around seedlings in forestry applications. We use it for annual mowing of reed and other hard-to-cut plants in our natural ponds and root sewage treatment plants.

Although new scythe is labelled by the manufacturer as “Ready to mow” (Mähfertig in German), it is not exactly true. Peening of the scythe is required for easy ergonomic mowing. If you opt for the “Hand-peened” choice above, you will receive a scythe which is sharpened as follows: its edge has first the paint removed, its surface is subsequently machined by a water-cooled grinder for consistent thickness, and lastly hand-peened by a hammer in at least 3 passes.

If you don't plan to peen this scythe, we recommend to use our hard Carborundum stone for regular sharpening. Please never use fast-turning uncooled grinding to sharpen the scythe.
