dentwizz 6 Posted September 8, 2010 I usually leave that off of mine. It tends to get in the way unless you are working in strictly grass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris727 1,703 Posted September 8, 2010 New ones are NLA, have probably been for 20 years. I made one but don't remember what kind of wood was used. Somewhere on the main SimpleTractors page there are dimensions for a do-it-yourself swathboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HubbardRA 19 Posted September 8, 2010 I used a piece of a pressure treated 1"x6"x6' fencing board to make mine from. One of the vertical boards in my privacy fence got broken by a tree limb that fell. When I replaced it, I used the remainder of the broken board to make the swathboard.
