French term

lamier

French to English Tech/Engineering Agriculture Agricultural machinery
I have a picture of this, it's a tractor-trailed machine with circular blades (which are the "lames", I suppose) but the only translation I've found is on a ProZ question the other way ( Fr to En), which would suggest "mower bed". Can anyone confirm this with references please?

Dorothy White (asker) May 6, 2006:
Lamier = Hedge Trimmer Yes, it's certainly for cutting trees not grass, so a hedge trimmer is much closer than mower (as I found out when I got through the document, which is much more difficult to do than a usual document because I have to translate it online), so it's a lamier d'élagage, as Francis's very helpful link says. I just wonder if there's anything closer to "pruning" to make it for trees rather than just hedges, but then the definition Francis found does mention pruning

Hello Dorothy: do you know whether it 's for grass or hedges?

agree Bourth (X) : I didn't know they were called "lamiers", but it makes sense.
