Fence trimmer

[mikes1165]

I'm looking for a 3 pt attachment for my Kubota L3901 for trimming my pasture fence lines. I've seen several that are available overseas but can only find mention of 2 in the US. The DR trimmer that uses string to trim with but it only weighs #200 and reviews aren't that great. Unit looks flimsy. Other is by Wright Manuf in Texas but they won't return phone call or email and found website that sold them but it said they were temporarly unavailable.
If I can't find one I may try building one but would rather buy one if possible. Does anyone know anyone else that makes one.

Some guys don't believe in nuking the world, man. I gotta neighbor who sprays the holy heck out of the common fence he built. I weed eat mine a couple times a year. His spray goes all over the place as he shoots his load from a four wheeler. I take the steel blade Shindawa and do a stretch now and then. I guess you might say we have a different consciousness. Oh, did I mention I haven't had verbal contact with the jerks for a decade or more/

To say nothing of potential to cause erosion around posts in areas where water flows thru the fence line. Itll get ugly quick if you dont watch ... and when you have livestock that makes paths along fences its even worse.

Mowers like that work find for barbed wire or electric fences, not so much for net wire though. I use a combo of Roundup and 2-4D to spray my fences and then weed eat it once a year to control the sawbriars that neither of those will kill completely. 1/4 mile of it is treeline fencing and the other is roadway. The county mows it once a year or so but only about 5 feet off the road so the rest is up to me. I don't want it to grow up with trees and brush like most folks fence lines do so I work at it with saw blade on my weed whacker, string line and chemicals. When I get too old to use the mechanical stuff, it will be just chemicals.
I don't think proper use of chemicals destroys the environment since everything I spray seems to come back next year.

A friend has a 3ph string trimmer. He says it is very awkward. In fact, he bought it in pieces, damaged, probably from someone side-swiping something immoveable.

I agree with that 100%. Weed whacking along a few miles of 2x4 wire fence can lay waste to several rolls of plastic cord.

What's worse; a few months of chemicals that go inert or a 1000 years of plastic cord remnants? I find "better living through chemistry" a better option.
