Art, you're a genius!

SM2CEW's website describes a radial plough which attaches to the back of
a tractor, and can lay a full-sized Top Band radial in 2 minutes. I had
been lamenting the lack of a Volvo tractor (or the space to lay such
long radials) but a blade attached to a wheelbarrow might just do it...
or even to the lawn mower.

I just checked one of my catalogs from a restaurant supply store
(Bridge Kitchenware in New York City), and I notice they sell pizza
cutters with wheels as big as 5 inches in diameter. If you used hose
clamps to attach the handle of a pizza cutter to the end of a broom
handle, I bet that would make a dandy lawn slit cutter for laying
radials.
