What do you folks use to mow underneath your pasture fencing? Has anybody here ever made anything? either 3ph or some sort of a walk behind deal. Did Gravely ever make any kind of atachment for their old walk behinds? I have seen those spring loaded mower deck deals in cataloges but don't want to pay $1,500.00 just to do this job a few times a year. Thanks

Yes Gravely Has Sickle Mower , they are to do a fair to good job in this job. I have a couple of them but have yet to make time to work on them to try. I spray for now and use a sigh . Teddy

A cocktail of RoundUp and a pre-emergent early in the year- normally stay clear all year. Check out you local Co Op for a good pre emergent.
good luck

we do not use roundup due to it rusting the wire in about 2-3 years it is highly corosive

I think swisher or somebody makes a mower that is like a heavy duty string trimmer that is on a spring loaded base that will run along and trim along fences and spring back when you hit something without breaking. It almost looks like one of those clay pigeon throwers with the springs on it and it has a rotary weedwacker end on it and you pull it behind the tractor. You offset it to the right of the tractor and it does a pretty good job following the fence. I think I saw them in the northern equipment catalog. Good luck.

From Miss Lilia Nzi. Amina Guest house
Abidjan cote d'ivoire Dear One,

Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into relationship with you, I Come across your profile and have Decided to get in touch with you after my prayer,to see if you can help me out of this heavy burden.

This however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour it against your will. My name is Miss Lilia Nzi., I am the only Daughter of Late Mr Johnson Nzi. My father was a highly reputable Cocoa Merchant who operated in the capital of Ivory Coast during his days. It is sad to say that he was poisoned in one of his business trips abroad on the 7th December 2005 which he later died on the 11 january 2006. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been planned by my uncle who travelled with him at the same time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was little , and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my Father, he called me beside his sick bed and inform me about the sum of $6.7 Million US Dollars which he deposited in a Fixed/Suspence account here in Cote d'Ivoire with my name as the next of kin, he advise me to seek for a reliable partner that will help me transfer the money out of the bank here for establishment. I have consulted the bank for the transfer but there is a conditions for the release of the fund which are as follows:
(1) That I must provide someone represent me at the bank just as my father advised me when he was alive.
(2) I want you to serve as my guardian towards the money ,
(3) I want you to help me start a new life in your country because i stoped school because of my uncle that wants my life just because of the money which is the only thing i inherited from my father. I contact you therefore to confirm if you can help me in this request or possibly advise me on any investment opportunity in your country where the money can be invested . When we reach agreement, you will contact the bank as my guardian, and the bank will release the money into your account and I will come over to your country to finish my education and also start a new life in your country.

With appreciation, i will offer to you 15% of the sum for your assistance and also 5% for any expences/input that may occure such as telephone call and fax etc. I expect your urgent response including your address, your telephone number. This is my email please reply here [email protected]

Thanks for your consideration and God bless you and your family.

With lots of love from Miss Lilia Nzi.

That is the most rediculous scam I have ever heard! Get a real job and quit trying to scam people!

What the cows cant get and touches the wire, we use a hedge trimmers. It's my brother's, and it's on a pole like a weed trimmer, with a pivoting head so it works like a sickel bar. It works great for cutting thick thistle stalks and burdock. Better yet, you use it to trim your hedges when you need to do that too.

When I was a little feller about 8 to 10 we had a billy goat that it was one of my chores to move his chain to the next post in the fence row. He did an excellent job of keepin the fence rows clean. Well now I think the rose, trumpet vine, morning glory, berry vines and briars look real good. Wearin out a rokin chair is more calming. Good luck on your fences.

Why not use a rotary, push type power mower? That's what I use, the same mower I use on my lawn, I just raise the blade. Mine is a "High-Wheel" but a regular mower would probably do fine. Used ones are cheap and new ones are less than $200.

The guys are on the right path with Round-Up...
but that also depends on how long that fence is:
yards or miles. At some point one becomes better than the other.

Sounds like a great time to use that sickle mower that's been collecting dust. Take the swath-board
off and commence to cutting. It works like a charm!

I am with Bill. I hit them with roundup 3 times a year also. Otherwise, I'd be out there mowing or weedeating every other week. My horses and cows keep the inside decent, but I spray the outside about 18" so I can just run down the line with my zero turn mower and not have to worry about hitting the bottom of a post with the deck!
I have all woven wire fence by the way.
