With the tread about hay!!! I made a video using a Scythe.

I recently bought a scythe. I got it so I could cut my own hay. I wanna be a self sufficient as possible. Any way here it is.

Here is the result the finished hay on the wagon.

You better learn to get it done your self. I made about 4 bales of hay equivalent in about 6 min. of cutting and 10 min. of raking (includes flipping and loading).

I've a couple of scythes, and have used them lightly in the past.
Takes good elbow joints.

What would you like to know?
It is the process we have used to make Maple syrup in the past. But what we have decided to do next year is use kerosene stoves. How can I help???
