- It is often said that continental European scythes of a lighter construction compared to Anglo-American types because grassland in is lighter and therefore easier to mow in drier eastern Europe compared to the damp lush grassland of the British Isles. To test this out for myself I took the opportunity to mow a 5 x 5 metre square at 1000 m+ atop a mountain in Transylvania and compared this against my 5 x 5 m times from competitions back in the UK.
My verdict: the grass being shorter and lighter was quicker to move, so my time was faster than in West country (Somerset); the sward was still quite dense at the base so cutting speed was not so very different to that on dry grassland in Eastern England (Cambridge). - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Used to do that in Poland some 40 years ago. Hard work.
Now, at 62, I do it often in the morning, for a few minutes, to work my lower back. Awesome exercise.
The guy in the video, takes it to the extreme, would not last long.
who does this for excersise
A lot of people
@@doodoobam5221 bruh are you living in 1789 or something
No, there's about 7 billion people in the world of course at least one person would do it
@@doodoobam5221 lmao are you 40 or something stop getting statistical its litteraly internet beef
This is the kind of content I want!!
Great feeling to lie down and smell the fresh cut grass after all the hard work. Envy you.
I love seeing people use non modern ways of doing things. Love this!
That looks like so much fun Richard! You should arrange an antipodean scything trip during your winter to keep up your skills. A colonial mowing movie!
So wonderful, man. You did a really good job. Congratulations!!!!
What a delightful sound that makes.
Wow very nice. Thanks Richard
báječný that's very hard work my grandmother is from a town in the Carpathian Mountains call Humne. I'll never understand why they left to work in the coal mines in Pennsylvania.
You did such light work of that!
Amazing!
hahahah good job sir.
At your age, its wonderful to see this work.👌🏼👌🏼😘😘
Oh God that was class!!! Put a big smile on my face!!
Great stuff. God bless the health Sir! 👍🙏
Hmm my lady would be pleased to have one of those scythe for her organic farming technique in Victoriaville, Quebec. Good content really inspiring! :)
Fast scythe skill 👍
I clapped at the end,too.I would like to try here in Japan.
Watching this video is so satisfying.
I finding multiple factors satisfying...especially when He slices grass, bit by bit
Beautiful countryside
Excellent Sir!
Give this man a medal
OMG! What a view!
Good work!
Some fine mowin' there.
Do you not think the altitude played some factor? The majority of the UK is less than 5m above sea level, here you're somewhere in the range of 2000+m. Thinner air.
Nami yes, I think when I did a quick skim research for that comment I took the maximum elevation and scaled it down, I should have used the average and scaled up. Soon as I read your comment I realized vegitation wouldn't even grow at 2000 meters. Regardless, difference between 5m and 1200m is still a difference of several thousand feet.
Nami my old employer is from Romania, his family emigrated to Ohio when he was 7 years old, to escape Cacescu. I've known him many years, and he is not lazy. Rarely keeps his word, but not lazy.
This satisfying
That looks like it kills the arms. Great work.
Where can I get this from definitely need this for my yard work I do
Just curious....Shouldn't there be more of a hip rotation? shoulders seemed to be the main contributor in this video...
You're dead right, but when you are really going for it, flat out as it were, you tend to just dispense with comfort and smoothness, and just use all the strength you have. Competition scythers can be the worst looking spectacles to showcase the craft, as they dispense with the smooth efficient technique in favour of pure brawn to make the time.

Richard, you are going for time , I know...but the Austrian Scythe demos where the worker stands straighter... seems much more efficient.
Yes you are absolutely right. Sprint racing is not real mowing just fun, and posture tends to go a bit. When mowing properly for longer periods always mow with ease and good posture
Lmao when he made his bed
Bad ass!
Молодцом! Чье производство косы?
Here before your recommendation brought you here
What blade are you using or do you generally prefer?
Austrian Schrökenfux blades, or Italian made Falci blades which are supposed to be even better now, but they are both supposed to be excellent, the top two blades in the World I believe.
👏👏👏👏 BRAVO.........🛌 😂😉
Goods
I could literally hear the frequency of the strokes were decreasing ... 🥵😰😅
NICE WITH THE FLOWERS BUT NOW ?
Hay, for animals. Fodder for the winter feeding

Esi marayu arrebienta a un paisanu, el marayu tien que ser curtiu. Como tuvieres que tar to la mañana segando como lo haces aquí, teníen que llévate en ambulancia pal hospital compañiru.
I think it's a good exercise to lose belly fats......
Its extremely dangerous to stop urself immediately after a hard labour. Its like bringing your racing heart to a dead stop. You should let your heart beat slow down slowly and steadily. I nearly died once when I laid down immediately after working hard for 10 minutes.
