Thanks Rivka!  You mean with a regular flat deck flail mower?  Does it 
get the vines that are hanging down in the valleys?

Yes, it's a Bushhog-type mower. And no, it doesn't always get the lowest vines that well -- depends on the particular plants, if they grow up a bit before they dangle down it cuts them off at that point; seems to work well enough anyway.
