    Interesting. Would love to get a better birds eye view of the total process, starting with scything and ending with getting them in square bales.
    Also, I did see interesting hand balers in other videos, but could not find a place that sells them.

      With a hay rake and three-prong fork, this hay mounds well. No need to bale. Fork it into a loft or stack on a pallet with a cover.

    I looked down to check messages and when I looked up you had moved quite a ways. I wish I had scythe literacy ...and a scythe like yours.

    Tough stuff to mow.
