[QUOTE="Thomas173, post: 127280, member: 4388"] mmbr, thanks for your input and clarification. I’ve been using an old self propelled push mower and riding mower because they are narrow for east access and pretty easy to find up for sale. Also a weed whacker with a blade. All are under sized for the task but it’s a start. The side slope is along the trail edge, especially where the trail was built up with crushed limestone. It’s only a small drop off to forest or bush or a wet ditch, but it’s important to keep the trail width cleared to stay ahead of drooping and overhanging bush. And the side slope isn’t all smooth. It’s a bit precarious with a riding lawnmower. I hadn’t thought of chemicals/spraying. I know the local utilities and municipal post public notices about using them. The trail is a combination of private and public lands. The land user agreements state rules like max width, etc. Even gate installation will exceed the rules because of the post depths but I think that’s negotiable for safety reasons whereas chemical applications approval would be doubtful. About ten years ago governments greatly restricted herbicides, pesticides etc. [/QUOTE]
