[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1278367, member: 9096"] We have a stihl brushcutter with the 4 toothed metal blade, we drilled holes in it and rivet new sicklebar cutter knives on it.. cuts WAY better, and much cheaper to replace... you will break the rivets if you hit a rock hard though. I've been really looking at those pole hedge trimmers, we have a lot of wild roses (rosehips) growing in the fencelines here, and I'd love to get rid of them, I think they'd do the trick nicely... there are some available (chinese of course) for about $150, I was thinking of trying them out. I have a Yazoo mower, 36" deck with a 10hp briggs, it works pretty good for clearing fencelines, as long as you don't have irrigation lines running along it (like I always do). Years ago I had an old Mastercraft 2 stroke lawnmower, it was totally rusted out, had only 1 setting (full throttle) at about 5000 RPM, but it was super light.. especially after I cut the whole front half of the deck off and put bigger rear wheels on it. THAT was a fence trimming machine!, you could go up to a briar patch and pretty much walk into it, it would handle big old alfalfa bunches, you didn't have to lift it over obstacles, and for sidehills, etc it was light enough you could stand at the top and with just 1 arm roll it up and down. I really want to find one of those again! Full face shield not optional after the modifications I did of course! [/QUOTE]
