    Best attachment to dig up bamboo rhizomes?

    Bamboo roots can get as deep a 2'-3' below grade. Backhoe or excavator is the way to go if you don't want it back. The majority of the rhizomes are in the top 12"-18"

    How to "undercoat" mower deck.

    Paint won't last. Deck bottoms are painted from the factory. A truck bead-liner spray or under coating may work but the deck will have to be VERY clean for it to stick. The problem with a bead-liner/ undercoating is how thick it goes on, and the finish is rough. Your blades may not have the...

    Mowing Level (soon to be lawn) with tiller, disc or box blade?

    Best and favorite way to splice into OEM wiring harnesses?

    Bamboo is a grass. BIG but still a grass. Cutting it will not kill it or limit the spread. Some bamboo's have roots up to 2' deep. Digging it out is the only way to be rid of it.

    HDPE is not as hard, is it more resistant to chips. I use it for cutting boards because it is easy on the knife edge. PVC is harder, but prone to scratches/chipping, and being harder it's more brittle. EDIT: There are also different PVC compounds. Some are softer then others. IE; PVC conduit Vs...

    What to do with old chain link fencing?

    Where I'm at, recycle places will also not take fencing unless it is in 2'x2' pieces. No wire rope either, except in 2' pieces. That is why we often find old skidder and choker wire in the woods all the time. I agree with others above; Save a few nicer chunks and then a free sign or list it cheap.
