In Reply to: Mowing a pond edge posted by Rick Kr on August 04, 2015 at 09:07:11:
Im going to try to answer everyone in one reply.
I already own the Gator and a push mower. So I likely will start with a 2x2 offset hitch on the front, then hook the push mower to it. Cost is free, minus time. If that contraption works, then look for a used trail mower for a bigger swath. Meanwhile look at the tires Mark posted.
Glennster and Ray: Glenn it was probably your picture a while ago that gave me the idea of an offset.
Mark: Those tires would help, but my pond level drops throughout the summer, I would be running in wet clay, and possible still be stuck.
Joe and others: I would only be mowing around the beach and swimming area. The other half of the pond is a gradual slope to 6 feet deep. I leave a buffer strip for the cattails, etc. Lots of frogs and ducklings.
Gordo and others: I like the sickle. Measuring the pond edge, even a 9 foot sickle gets me too close to the soft bank. My tractor is too heavy. This would be a good reason to search for a light little tractor and a sickle.
