Finally time to put the new rake and fork to good use on the first hay cut for this year. Just a cool, cloudy day scything our orchard, and using the cut fresh grass to mulch the trees there. American pattern scythe used, older Seymour brush snath slimmed down for grass use, coupled with a 30" "western" type grass blade with no lift to the tang angle. This is my preferred rig for tall rough occasional mowing. For now, a bit over 1 acre in this orchard, cut in 2 1/2 hours at a slow relaxed pace, taking time to mulch trees.
