Scythe

[Ilnumero]

To be fair he may be faster but he's visibly tired at the end of the clip.

 

The brushcutter worked for 100% of the time, the scythe operator worked for 50% of the time, so is able to do the same job in half the time and have a rest and recover.

 

He may have spent more energy but had time to recover, the brushcutter did not.

Guessing the bloke in the video has done that a couple of times before. To be fair he may be faster but he's visibly tired at the end of the clip. Be interesting to see scythe versus brushcutter on a couple of acres, guessing scythe would lose that one.

 

Looks efficient though the way it stacks the grass ready for bailing or collection.

 

To be fair, I think the bloke on the scythe wasn't using a normal action to do the job and working at above normal pace.

 

When I used one, the natural arc is a bit shorter and the pace a lot slower. I'm a race like that things are different. With practice, a good scythe and pacing yourself, i would probably say that at a days end the strummer is a little more tiring
