Need a machete

[hhmoore]

Swp321 I don't have much use for my machetes anymore - drop me a line...if anything I've got suits your wants/needs, it's yours.

I said id get some machete pics today
Ontario 12" machete

Perhaps not as good as some of the longer ones others speaking of if your doing jungle work
But I think is more than plenty handy in the forests of north America

Surveyors often need to cut lines of sight through some of the nastiest, thickest stuff imaginable, most often without any sort of mechanical assistance. On very rare occasions you can get someone with a Bush Hog or some other tractor-mounted device to assist clearing along fence lines and such, but most often not, for a variety of reasons.

Machetes are next to useless for a lot of what the field crews contend with - so the brush hook (bank blade) becomes your primary tool.

Interesting. I have several machetes, but I might try one of these brush hooks, brush axes, bank blades, ditch blank [sic - Amazon] blades, etc. I have to clear brush outside our fences from time to time.

I use to have a thing similar to a string trimmer except that it had a metal blade. I used that for years to clear brush and weeds. It would cut saplings and grape vines up to about an inch and half in diameter if you swung it like a golf club. Easier on my back than a machete.

When I am driving around rural Florida, I often see little signs by people advertising to do Bush Hog work.
