Gnome and Decoration Removal

[drtydeed]

Folks,
Here is an issue that I deal with every year (see attached pic). My neighbor installs these for the upcoming holiday and tends to leave them in place until the memorial day weekend. I'm wondering what 3ph attachment may work best for removal of these "classic beauties"?

I was considering the use of a sickle bar or flail mower to give them a trim. Any suggestions from fellow TBN'rs?

ps. anyone have 20 secluded acres they'd like to sell?

You could plow the snow from the driveway and miss by a foot or so. No snow? Just practice for when there is some!

I think I like your suggestion of the sickle bar the best so far. I can almost picture you slowly cruising down the drive with the sickle cutting them one by one and they slowly drop to the ground behind the bar. A big grin on your face as you drive away from the house while looking over your shoulder for a shotgun barrel poked out from a window. hehehe.

Post a sign at end of drive after Christmas "Free decorations, you pick".

Gosh I think they look pretty nice, think I will send that pic to my neighbors! Maybe a couple of flood lights directed toward your neighbors house might help light things up!

I have run over worse with my rotary cutter.....I think it could handle those beauties quite nicely. (If it survived two coil springs at the same time those wouldn't worry it much.)

Shredder, for sure... Chipper is too slow.

No special requirements here. Just drop one wheel of the pick-up off the shoulder and head on down the line. You can claim you had too much egg-nog.

But, being the peace and harmony loving fellow that I am, I'd say that BTDT has got it right. Being the enterprising fellow that I am, I might skip the free part and put a donation jar at the end.

Rotary mower. The sound and scattered parts would be priceless
