My edge of my pond is overtaken by the cattails. I've search the internet and here for a solution that doesn't involve chemicals and haven't found anything I like. I don't like the pond shear where you toss it in and drag out a little bit at a time. I don't have a back hoe with reasonable reach either.
I'm thinking about attaching a 10 ft long piece of 1 1/2" pipe each to each side of the bottom of my FEL bucket, connect them with an angle iron. Then I'll run cables from the top of my FEL bucket to the end of the pipe to hold the thing in place. Then I'll drive my tractor to the edge, lift the frame over the cattails, drop it down, and drag the cattails out of the pond edge.
Would that work? Any suggestion from experience guys and gals?
