“I’ve used a number of different scythes over the years – most were borrowed and used mainly to cut vegetation in places where I couldn’t maneuver the tractor and mower.
Some of those scythes were heavy and clunky, but worked nicely at whacking back brush. Others were light and almost flimsy – those worked well for mowing grass. What I hadn’t realized is that every one of those scythes were fit to snaths (handles) that were too short for me and in many cases not adjusted properly.
My very first custom-fit scythe arrived in the mail last week and has so-changed my comfort level with this tool that I am now quite certain that I can hit my hand-made-hay tonnage goal this year…”
