An old tractor mounted sickle bar mower will also do the trick quite nicely on the cheap assuming you have a tractor with pto. Just watch out for rocks, and keep your tractor wheels safely away from the shoreline.
You can get those old things for less than a couple hundred bucks, even free sometimes. Just be aware, they can be extremely dangerous due to the exposed blades. Have someone show you the ropes before you use it.
12 ac pond in NW Missouri. 28' max depth at full pool. Fish Present: LMB, BG, RES, YP, CC, WB, HSB, WE, BCP, WCP, GSH.
