We need a lake bank grass cutter?

Question

Our lake bank is steep enough that the riding lawn mower cant get within 4 feet of the lake. Weed trimmers are a bit too much work and time consuming. Need something that is light and easy to pull back up the bank. Easy for a woman to do.

Answer 1

My neighbor has a similar problem with a steep sloping lawn down to a 10' drop onto the road. He gets round it by tying rope to his hover mower, then lowers and raises it over the grass. it seems to work for him.

Answer 2

You are basically limited to a push mower if you don't want string trimmers.  Anything you sit on will roll into the lake.
