Yes, sickle mower in my opinion would be the best for around a pond. The new ones however seem to be VERY pricey. I started looking into getting one around 4 years ago. All I could find were back ordered. Then they were selling in the low 3000 range. Now they are near 5000. So, I still trim my pond with a weed eater. Only been doing it 31 years.

The pond water looks great!

I use a hedge trimmer attachment on my weed eater for "brush mowing" small areas works really well

Howdy Brock! Looks like the bank expansion is holding up great! The sod looks to have gotten well established. Looking good! Thanks for sharing 🤠

It looks like it was awkward to use a first, so I’d just tell people you were smoothing out the rough areas 😜 I’ve never seen one on a skid steer so it was interesting. Nicely done.

That attachment is just awesome!

That dam project you did last year looks good 🤪. A sickle bar excels for this job, but might be hard to justify given all of your other cutting machine options. Good luck 👍.

In all honesty, the best equipment for this would be a Ventrac with its boom mower. Of course that attachment by itself is around $15k! Plus the cost of buying that tractor.

That is an amazing piece of equipment on my budget it would be a walk behind

Large stones want stop the vegetation from growing I think your cutter is a good plan . Next best thing is a cutter on a excavator .

I like very low or no maintenance so I’d consider putting down rocks, similar to what you did in the Coy Pond and just keep the little grass that might come up killed, especially in the area that you had to widen.

Sometimes mother nature just throws you a curve ball and let's you figure it out.

Look up I&J manufacturing in PA. They make the best sickle bar mower I’ve ever used. I bought an 8’-6” cutter with hydraulic lower and lift to cut our 12 acre lake banks on a hunting property. It only takes about an hour to cut the entire lake bank. This unit will cut from 90 degrees up all the way to 70 degrees below horizontal down. It’s one hell of a hay cutter too. Good news it that it weighs almost nothing. Be careful on those edges brother! 🔥🔥👍👍

I just bought a skid steer sickle mower that would work probably quite well for you. It’s 6 feet I don’t know if it would be long enough to go down all your bank or not. It will angle up at 90° in your angle down I’m assuming about 60° I just tried it quickly and I haven’t had a good chance to try it yet but it seems to work OK good luck

Heya Brock, This is an issue I've been dealing with on our property as well. We excavated an old slough and turned it into a dugout decades ago but the water level never gets to within 18-20 feet from the top (even though its close to 30 deep in spots) Its a real pain to keep the weeds down on those angled banks, none of the machines will touch it and the weeds get too thick stemmed for the weed eater to touch it. I've been using the Kombisystem powerhead with the 20 inch angled hedge trimmer attachment and doing it that way.
