  • Machete suggestions - there are times I want to clear brambles etc and I’d rather not use the proverbial sledgehammer (chainsaw or flail mower on the tractor) to crack the nut.

    I'll measure mine, but I'd say don't skimp on length. You want the longest that's practical to carry.

    2x this, and add practical to swing (depends on your height and arm length).
