Why is it feminine?

Tondeuse is feminine because it is derived from the French verb "tondre" (to shear/mow) combined with the feminine agent noun suffix "-euse." This suffix, which denotes a person or device performing an action, is inherently feminine in French and consistently produces feminine nouns. The suffix "-euse" comes from Latin "-osa" and follows the pattern where agent nouns in French take feminine gender.
