This makes it difficult or impossible to work with machinery

 

Why not strim^ rather than "going full medieval" with hand tools? ?

 

Iv'e noticed regular mowing seems to  work fairly well......

Knocking it over in the autumn before it starts to wither and ideally just in time for the first frosts really knocks it back.

Bruising and crushing and breaking is more effective than clean cutting.

Same here, we have been cutting a lot of glades into the sides of rides through woodlands and all that grows in them now is grass. A lot of these things will give up if you keep mowing them off.

If it can't photosynthesise it can't survive. Even ground elder gives up if you put it under enough pressure.
