As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she’s very plain
But that’s just perfect for an Amish like me
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity

He makes it look so easy. I would love to try one and make myself look like a fool.

Weird question but how does the scythe actually cut? Does the blade have to be very sharp, compared to a lawn mower blade spinning at high speeds? I keep thinking it’ll just flatten the grass temporarily at the most.

Have you ever gone to an amusement park and ride roller coasters all day and then when you lay down in bed you can still feel the movements of the roller coasters? Or maybe play too much tetris and see the images in your head when you close your eyes?
Imagine what it must feel like to lay down at the end of a day after doing this motion for hours on end. I bet that’s an interesting feeling. lol

That would be a hell of workout

By the time you finish, it’ll be time to start again.

There is mowing festival in Serbia (originally started at 1892.). Traditional event where participants compete in manual grass cutting, showcasing skill and preserving an old rural custom. It gathers locals and visitors alike, creating a lively atmosphere filled with folk music, dances, and local food.
Beyond the competition, the festival is a celebration of Serbian culture and community spirit. Tourists enjoy not only the unique contest but also the beautiful mountain meadows and the warm hospitality of the region.

I’ve seen scythe handles for sale at a few places. If I could source a real blade, I could see myself doing that for a summer. Just because.

My dad bought one of these, sharpened it to all hell and uses it as a workout. They are extremely efficient and not quite as demanding as they look if properly sharp but 100% worse than a riding lawnmower lol. Super cool though and after a bit of practice pretty manageable for smaller areas

What’s wrong with an old fashioned broom 🧹

My husband grew up on a farm bailed hay. Had abs of steel. Like a 48 pack. 😆 This is great exercise.

Can you do my yard next?

I realized a while ago that would mow the lawn, or snowblow the driveway, then come in and workout for an hour because I was already a little sweaty. So I just started doing as much by hand as possible and it actually saved me time and I still kept in shape.
