Scything a windrow while making hay.

Cutting hay with a scythe naturally leaves the material to the left of the mower. Later I will spread it out, then turn it the following day to make sure it is fully dry before bailing or storing.

I bet he has little trouble falling asleep at night.

My grandfather was doing this job from early morning till night for weeks. They certainly were very tough man. This job is very hard and phisically demanding

One convenient thing about scything is how the cut material is deposited in rows instead of scattered all over the place.

Well, that’s one sure way to never get fat.

This guy is a legend!!! Much respect to someone who can cut a lawn with a scythe!!!👍

[@LoveNIsrael]

Thanks for this video. I counted the strokes you made before taking a break. So my frequent needs of sharpening and breaks are not unusual.

[@stephensfarms7165]

Very hard work, it takes a real man to do this, as my grandfather use to do it. 👍👍

I've been watching scything videos a lot lately. i find them relaxing. but not for the scythe driver. respect.

[@jacobstrobbe8551]

This seems like a very relaxing thing to do. Especially if you're trying to clear your head or thing about something. It's crazy that we have moved away from things that are so efficient like this.

[@shrtcakez]

Awesome video you did great!!

[@christopherpowell1483]

This seems like alot of work.but gotta give you a thumbs up for how fast you are.

I've tried cutting some hay last summer to feed my animals in wintertime. This man makes it seem so easy, when in realitiy it is pretty damn hard to cut grass with a scythe.

Swish swoosh swish swoosh swish swoosh it becomes meditative. I could actually start to hear the blade becoming dull. 4 strokes later he stopped to sharpen.

[@hermanman8235]

Good for obtaining strong muscle and stamina .will try it if got the chance . that sharp blade also deters the bad guys

[@user-po2fx1cc4h]

mow with a mask? This is something new)))

[@SCORP1ONF1RE]

This is how I trim my wife's bush

[@armalvior]

Wearing a hooded black robe while doing this can be really fun!

[@210GrainsOfJustice]

I need one of these for cutting hay just for a workout 😏

[@benjamindejonge3624]

No hp but one manpower, no carbon pollution

[@redpsycho90]

I wonder why most scything videos i find they aren’t using shoes. Is there special reason?
