Strimming by bar the fastest and safest way to do this.
We do many riverbanks and amenity bankings like this on a regular basis.
'Flymo on a rope' trick dangerous and illegal now under health and safety regs (as you have to disable the OPC control to use it like this).
Below is one example of several that we do....is this similar to what you are looking at?
Thank you for your quick response! I didn't realise the old trick was illegal so much appreciated. The bank is at least 3 storeys high as the property has been built into the side of a large steep hill. I'm guessing I would have to harness up and be attached to climbing rope pegged at the top to meet Health and Safety regulations...it is a fair bit steeper than that in your photo!
p.s. never use the time a client tells you it takes to base your quote on ;) They run to a different clock. Base it upon what you think.
IMO - that's too steep to be safe. There are now quite strict / best practice rules about the max angle bank you should (commercially) work on:
I think the only hover mower that used to be capable of this was the Allen 440 (?) with a GX honda engine that could deal with these angles.
thank you Gary
good tip Richard! Let's hope for another dry summer ahead!
Possibly even better - treble the benefits - built in recycling (inc fertilising) ;) ?
lol....now how would you charge for those?! ;-)
But joking a side, in the USA farmers rent out goats to help clear gorse bush and other waste land etc.
