[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7740459, member: 2119"] I can remember my father and uncle scything all the way round a field to open up for the offset tractor drawn combine so that the tractor didn’t run down the standing crop. Didn’t take them very long. Similar to how we used to hand top a row of beet with a spade to open up for the trailed harvester with offset topper. Those were the days. Then somebody decided to put them inline. What a good idea. The orchard was always hand scythed for some hay right up to the 1970’s, as was the churchyard by a motley gang of villagers including ourselves as lads. One old boy fed his cow on churchyard grass, scythed and zero grazed. [/QUOTE]
