Looks like a Landmaster Gardenmaster though exact model would be beyond me, all the gardenmaster's look basically the same (except my one is a lot more rusty than that :D).... A bit of an oddity to use but does have the advantage that you can see everything the blades are doing. Not really my cup of tea (I'll be getting rid of mine once my Howards are running properly ) but each to his own, I know people that swear by them.... generally the same people that like Allen Scythes (a brush/heavy grass cutting machine that shares the Gardenmasters rather retro health and safety approach to bystanders) .....

the guy on the lottie next to me has one of those, i prefer my howard 350 it does a lot better job of getting down in the soil and digging in manure, but  it seems to do what he wants it to do, so each to his own I  suppose . but i know for a fact that it is no where as powerful as my howard when it comes to the more compact soil.
