My first block out here in the sticks had 4.2kms of fenceline. Being severely undercapitalised I used an old golf course walk-behind slasher with a homemade trailer hooked to it by a hose coupling. An office chair was mounted in the trailer (swivel of course so you can check behind) and there was enough room in the trailer for a small esky and replacement blades and fuel. I could disappear for days at a time. The unit did many, many kms and is still being used on the property to do the fencelines some 12 years later. Necessity is the mother of invention and also has a very important part to play in astronomy! My binochair is an old K-Tel adjustable ab machine stripped down and fitted to a Landcruiser hub as a plinth, with sheepskin seat cover. Can lay on it for hours. Cost 0$.
