A Good Scythe at Work

Short scenes demonstrating the versatility of a good scythe in diverse conditions--from “lawn“ and field cutting to an “obstacle course“ requiring precision mowing techniques. No audio--it got lost in the editing process. Some of the mowing is done by Ashley and Fairlight Vido. When this video was shot in 2003, they were 10 and 13 years old and already good mowers. They are not expending a lot of energy, because they have good tools and have learned the skill. See also: Credits: Fairlight Vido, Greg Hemmings, Todd Snyder and David Patriquin.
