If the outside wheel track is used to define the minimum turning radius then there would be no such thing as a zero turning radius as is claimed on zero turn riding mowers, etc. Then again, if the inside wheel track radius is used as a definition, you couldn't distinguish between a vehicle that could spin around its center like a zero turn rider and a vehicle that could, for example, spin around one of the rear wheels.

When burying a low voltage wire for a dog fence, I rented an 8 hp edger with a straight blade. I was able bury 1500 feet of wire in 2 hours. The machine was able to cut through roots easily. I was even suprized to see that it cut through a brick that happened to be laying a couple inches below the surface leaving both halves of thebrick in place after going by. The width of the cut was only about an inch to 2 inches though. Perhaps two blades could be mounted side by side to get a wider cut.

I think I paid less than $50 for a half day's rental. I had so much time left after burying the wire that I switched to the edging blade and edged all the beds.
