Anyone here ever try to cut a reasonable facsimile of a human limb OFF besides me? A machete is a poor choice. The blade geometry is wrong, and there isn't enough mass. Machetes are great for clearing brush, that's what they're made for. Except for the cheapest, lightest cheesiest imported BUDK psuedo-sword, almost any sword-like object would be an improvement. Limbs, necks included, have a lot of tissue and bone to cleave. You need a blade designed for the job or you're going to waste too much precious time and energy on each target.
You'd be better off with a baseball bat than a machete. Large potential for crushed zombie skull with minimal effort. Doesn't get stuck as easy, either.

I'd prefer something that dealt blunt force trauma as well, but I'd go crowbar. I'd use the curved end (not the clawed end) to bash skulls, plus you can pry doors and whatnot open. If I didn't want to get that close, an ax handle would do nicely. I've seen them at Lowe's, Walmart, Home depot, just about anywhere you can get tools. A handle without the ax head can be swung with out giving you the need to properly adjust yourself due the weight, and it will crack the skull rather than stick in it.
