No mix gas, no numb hands and almost no noise.
I have two scythes, one is all aluminium and that is my favourite to use. A keen edge is critical so I keep a stone in my pocket when I use it and hone it every few minutes.
She makes me nervous, no shoes with a sharp blade. That is a disaster waiting to happen.
I'm a little tired already, but I might start doing this in certain areas of the yard. Anyone know if it works as well on shorter grass, or is it useful only on the taller vegetation?
@Shouldbefishing That's kinda tall grass in the video but I don't mind letting mine getting to that height. My neighbors might think differently though.
My grandfather had one, even after he got a city job, they had about 5 acres. Cut hay for milk goats and sheep by hand. They had a big flock of chickens, Sunday dinner (noon) was walking around Sunday morning and the garden made a serious contribution to the food supply.
That is one way to get your exercise!
