Link needs a scythe.

Does a scythe still for on narrow spaces? I’m assuming you’d need a wide space for the momentum to cut.

Will a scythe edge your concrete walkway?

That’s not what the weedhacker is build to do, that’s what a mowing machine was invented to do.

I’ve wanted one of these for my yard for a while now. I always figured they’d be faster than a weed whacked

No one mows their lawn with a weedwacker. Let’s see the scythe trim the weeds around the trees, bushes, a mailbox, a fence, and etc.

You’re telling me, after forty years of using a weed wacker, I could’ve been doin’ this?!
There ain’t no way

Next you’re going to tell me a hammer is better at driving nails than a staple gun. Inconceivable!

Now compare it with a lawnmower

So…what’s happening here is actually called “mowing”. “Reaping” is actually done with the smaller hand sickle.

Two different tools for two different jobs. Not an apples to apples comparison.

Also, I think some here might be forgetting that the convenience of not having to swing a scythe, which is labor-intensive, is worth giving up some efficiency. Imagine how many Laura Ingalls out there had their foot cut off by poppa accidentally 130 years ago.

When they held these competitions, how do they arrange seating? Do they move up after every round?

Cool, now use the scythe next to fence posts and rocks and over uneven ground and on Steep slopes and around flower beds.

Interesting. Now please do a comparison of effectiveness in a peasant revolt.

now we just need a scythe with an engine

Cost to maintain a scythe is too high, constant vials of blood needed
Shaner9er1337 on
Fairly certain the issue here is not the weedwacker but you apparently have to be shirtless in order to achieve this level of efficiency.

I mean why do you think that the scythe is considered a symbol of death? It cuts grass excellently

Yeah but who’s more exhausted by the end?

That’s why you never see medieval images of the Grim Reaper with a Husqvarna 110iL.
