<p>The mower is designed to cut down weeds in cultivated areas such as vineyards where the plants are in rows, using a portal sub-frame (1) to suspend cutting tools and to straddle the row being treated. The tools are of a rigid (6) and a flexible (7) rotating variety, the former leading cutting operation and being held clear of the trunks (3) by co-axial overhead discs (13).
