I'm interested for back-translation purposes to see what terms come up in English, so that I can get confirmation of what a Thai person would imagine when reading this term, and whether the job it is designed for comes across clearly.
Happy Easter and many thanks to anyone who can take the time to come up with an answer

Yes. It definitely refers to grass, but I imagine their might be some overlap in concepts 'brush/grass', i.e. หญ้า could refer to really tall and overgrown plants/brush.

If what your looking for is an attachment for a boom mower that cuts trees then maybe you could use หัวตัดต้นไม้ไหล่ทาง (roadside tree cutting head).

Note from asker:
| Thanks, so you would expect it to be used to but grass rather than wood and brush, is that right? |
| to *cut* grass |
| yes, it looks as if the one at https://www.alamo-industrial.com/Products/ProductView.asp?ProductID=26 will cut hedges, but it won't shred a tree trunk into wood chips like the machine I am looking for, which would be a mulching head in English. Any idea in Thai? |

Roadside mower
There appear to be several roadside mower fittings, such as rotary, flail and boom mowers.
ไหล่ทาง ‘road shoulder’ in this sense is better translated as ‘roadside’ and covers the entire group of options available, rather than any specific type.

หัวตัดหญ้าไหล่ทาง = Grass cutting blade for mowing along roadside
As I understand หัวตัดหญ้าไหล่ทาง is some tool used to connect to a lawn mower machine.
