Best tool for cutting Lantana

[scott bockingMember]

Hey Bulls

I have waged full scale war against lantana and need to know the best tool to clear over grown trails.

Is is a line trimmer with a metal blade, a brush cutter or a hedge trimmer?

Cheers

Have you tried one of these STM, they also double as a handy way to remove the odd fallen sapling. Seen here clearing some single trail

doesnt matter really what you use Scotty,it still grows back fast as ever. I carry a Machete strapped to the bars when Im clearing tracks,but a metal blade in a line trimmer does work a treat for serious stuff. My mate he made up a bush and fitted a circular saw blade :woohoo: This works areal treat but you have to be careful as it can be deadly!!

Maybe one of these reverse mounted on the front of the WR to clear the vines, you will have to get a power take off fitted thats all.

What about Naplam, “Nothing like the smell of Naplam in the morning”

Hope all these help STM

fire, not kidding then diesel on the remnants, now this isn’t overly practical on crown lands may land you in a spot of bother, so a Machete with a good fall and blade (canecutters knife) is the preferred hand method for I.

tends to tangle up on brushcutters spend more time unwinding the cwap

I was down in Sydney Town today and picked up my new lantana weapon. A two stroke hedge cutter with massive teeth. It makes Edward Scissor’s hands look like a wanking glove. I will get some shots this weekend and post a full report.

I could not resist and tried it on some brush beside the road and it was sending shit flying :woohoo:

Who knows what I was rambling on about the other night. I do speak my fair share of shit which is one of the reasons I belong on this site :laugh:

I will get some shots of the new weapon in action. I will get some good before and after pics. Sweet dreams lantana. Your time has come!
