Rick, Why don't you just mount them on permanent posts (or trees) 10' high? That's what I and many others do. That ought to let you mow around them without taking them down. My support posts are 100' apart.
Thanks for the suggestions, but... First, I have found that Beverages work better at 1 to 3 feet off the ground than at 10 feet. Second, while mowing around the posts is better than having to go around the whole wire, it is still too much of a hassle. I am using a brushhog, not a zero turn radius mower. After mowing, I would have to use the weed whacker around the posts. Third, I am planning to disc the area next year, so I would have to take out the posts. The beverages are basically in a treeless area. 73 Rick N6RK _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - topband@contesting.com
