ON4UN's book has a photo and (I think) plans on building a
kind of "sled" that can be pulled along with a lawn tractor or
human power (gasp!)....might be worth a look.

Chicken wire - even if a bit rusty - has far less resistance than
average ground. If one wants a permanent, low maintenance
installation use either copper wire (insulated or not) or any
other wire that is insulated, then bury it under the sod....
my 2 cents worth.
