In this blog post, we will be discussing our experience of testing the new boom mower around the pond. You’ll discover its features, benefits, and how it can make your life easier. So, put on your lawn mowing gear and let’s dive into the world of boom mowers!
Introduction
Have you ever had trouble mowing around a pond or body of water on your property? It can be a challenging task, especially if the terrain is uneven or steep. However, thanks to modern technology, mowing around a pond has become a lot easier with the use of a boom mower. In this article, we will be discussing a video of using a boom mower to mow around a pond, as well as other helpful tips for maintaining the area.
Using a Boom Mower to Mow Around the Pond
The video we will be discussing is part of a daily equipment and rural living vlog called Rockhill Farm. The video shows the narrator using a boom mower to mow around the edge of the pond. The narrator mentions that the boom mower has a long reach, which makes it easy to mow around the steep banks of the pond. The boom mower is also able to work on uneven terrain, which is perfect for a pond area that may have shallow areas or large rocks.
Using an Offset Brush Cutter
The narrator also mentions using an offset brush cutter on a skid loader to mow a steep part of the pond bank. However, the narrator notes that the offset brush cutter did not have enough reach to get to the bottom of the bank. This is where the boom mower shines – it has a long reach making it very efficient in navigating through the terrain.
Helpful Tips for Mowing Around the Pond
While the boom mower is a fantastic piece of equipment, there are still areas that may be challenging to mow. For example, we previously mentioned the steep part of the pond bank where the boom mower was not effective. In this case, the narrator suggests using a sickle bar mower or manually weed eating the area. This is the perfect job for a smaller hand-held machine like a sickle bar trimmer. Additionally, if the pond has a large amount of vegetation such as cattails, a weed trimmer or even a machete may be necessary to keep them under control.
Supporting the Channel
If you want to support the Rockhill Farm channel, you can do so in a few ways. The narrator suggests buying a Rock Hill Farms T-shirt or buying them a coffee, which is a great way to show your appreciation for their videos. Also they have Facebook page where you can join the group for updates and discussions.
Conclusion
Overall, using a boom mower is a great way to effectively mow around your pond. With its long reach and ability to navigate uneven terrain, it makes mowing much easier than ever before. However, it may not be effective in all areas, so it’s important to have other tools such as a sickle bar mower and weed trimmer on hand. We hope this article has helped you learn more about mowing around your pond and how to effectively maintain the area.
