Want to clear along chain link fence. What concerns should I have with the surrounding lawn?

First check the grade of the area and the area surrounding the spot in question. Essentially which way will a tennis ball roll. Thats where the water will run with rain and sprinklers. If its its path you will ruin good lawn. If it doesn't by all means just keep a 6" spread from your lawn. That should be fine even if sprayed liberally.

Product works ,BUT its not as effective as Triox vegetation killer (no longer avail?). Buy small size and try other brands also. I would try farming type store before buying this again.One gallon of concentrate treats 300 sq feet.

Sounds just like my lawn. I have been scooting along clearing debris from my periennials all day today. I'm 4'l0" and I weigh 200 lbs. It even rolls over roots and in and out of mole/chipmunk holes.

This material is totally safe for growing veggies or anything else you are going to consume. What you want to stay away from is green treated timber as well as railroad ties. Both are saturated with heavy toxic chemicals that would leach into the soil, and thus become absorbed by anything that grows in close proximity...

I took the mower deck off but with the brackets you mount to the frame I think you could leave the mower deck on. The only issue I see is the mower deck discharge sticking out further that the width of the plow. Not sure since I took the deck off prior to installing the plow. Hope this helps. Plow works great.

has not harmed my lawn yet, I also back flush a chlorine pool onto the lawn, that just greens it up a bit. but I have to dump it on the lawn, no where else to go with it.

Hi Joan, The fence seems to block the wind just fine. I live in Baltimore, it may be a little more windy where you live though. Good Luck, Patty

No; I have used High Tech pet fence both buried and at the surface of my yard. Works both ways :) Just be sure to secure the wire if you do not bury it. Lawn mowers and kids are good at picking up the wire if it is not buried.

I put landscaping fabric to prevent any weeds, but heavy duty fabric or even a tarp would probably keep your soils from mixing. The kit fits together nicely so you would have a flat structure to attach treated boards if you'd prefer.

No, I used garden spikes to hold it on top of the ground and the grass grew over it. The lawn mower didn't affect it either. Sure saved quite a bit of work installing it. I've had our fence for almost 3 years and its wonderful!

Yes, there are tools to splice the lawn to help bury the wire. I have a Lab/Brittany who digs under our fence so I just ran the wire through the fence.

I have cut up to 6 inch plastic pipe. 4 inch should be no trouble. you will have to put a block behind the pipe in order to reach the fence.

Sorry for delay in my response - on vacation. I don't have a chain link fence around here, but I can tell you the cutters will need a rectangular cross section of 3 3/8" x 1/2" to get thru, and if you need to push the round gearhead thru also that is right behind the cutters, it will need a 3 x 1 5/8" rectangular opening. The whole thing will go thru if the gearhead gets thru.

If you have any 90 corners you will need a corner brace to prevent the fence wires sagging between the posts on the straight sides. Also when you remove the fence you will have a lot of wire that needs to be wound up on some kind of drum/frame to allow reuse next year otherwise you will have an incredible mess of wire that will be impossible to reuse in in the future.

Not too bad to walk behind but you want to be good at cutting regularly. If grass is too thick you need to push a bit to het through the cut. Good mower none the less.

the grass is propelled towards the operator and to the left .... most of it goes into the grass "catcher" that you should probably have attached....that way you can use the cut grass for composting. Compared to weed whacking, for example, having cut grass fall on your feet , if it overshoots the 'catcher', isn't going to be a problem

I would remove the mower deck so you don't get stuck unless you are using it for light duty.
