After flowering, the meadow is mechanically mown and dried. The resulting hay can be used as animal feed or compost. A great side effect of manual mowing is that particularly many flower seeds fall out, guaranteeing a great profusion of flowers the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eScattering, perennial or silo scythe \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eScythe blade \u003cstrong\u003e45 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e made of high-quality special steel \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic\u003c\/strong\u003e metal-tube garden scythe frame (handle) \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight-adjustable\u003c\/strong\u003e wooden handles \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003efor body height of approx. 170-185 cm \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncl. whetstone\u003c\/strong\u003e \n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarning\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 years and over! This product contains sharp tools or blades and is therefore not intended for persons under the legal minimum age. Handling these tools requires special care and expertise.\u003c\/p\u003eThe high-quality scythe blade made of special steel for scattering, perennials or silo material is forged by hand in up to 20 working steps in one of the last Central European scythe forges - in Kremstal, Austria - and hammered to a cutting edge. The scythe blade has a slight upward bend towards the tip built in to enable smooth gliding with momentum and to prevent it from getting stuck in the ground. The metal-tube garden scythe frame is galvanized and bent and has a tip. The front wooden handle is adjustable on the frame, the scythe blade is attached with the scythe ring. The blade cuts from right to left during movement and is therefore designed for right-handed users. The scythe is guided by the ergonomically shaped metal scythe frame with the two adjustable wooden handles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e \n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eW 58 x D 29 x H 154 cm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCutting length 45 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e2.4 kg \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e1 scythe blade \u003cbr\u003e1 metal scythe frame with height-adjustable handles \u003cbr\u003e1 scythe ring \u003cbr\u003e1 Allen key for scythe ring \u003cbr\u003e1 assembly instructions \/ user manual \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMowing technique\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith feet placed shoulder-width apart, stand facing the mowing path. From the torso and arms, the scythe blade glides quickly and without excessive effort in a swinging motion, arching closely over the ground with a turning movement. Chopping or pulling movements are often signs of a lack of sharpness of the scythe. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharpness\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe scythe blade must be regularly maintained. This means sharpening at shorter intervals with a damp whetstone (water-filled whetstone) and, on the other hand, hardening the edge by 'hammering'. On a flat anvil, the scythe blade is hammered out from the heel to the tip and back with the hammer. This serves to drive out (thin out) and harden the edge. At the same time, it results in sharpening and a significantly longer service life. The service life is the time in which you can work without interruption until signs of wear appear. Through this type of deformation, you can also drive out nicks up to about 5 millimeters deep in the edge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting the scythe\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe correct setting and mounting of the blade on the scythe frame and to the body size of the person mowing is very important. The angle between the longitudinal axis of the blade and the scythe frame and the setting of the correct cutting height (5 to 10 mm ground clearance) enable a perfect mowing process.","brand":"Schröckenfux GesmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57802841325949,"sku":"4BDSFP010045A6062","price":130.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/8485\/5586\/files\/20385-b6bc9ae81229d6648770c14cdf53ed2c793cf7e127d32c4eaf0bc775d86817c3.jpg?v=1789202249","url":"https:\/\/www.4betterdays.com\/en\/products\/streu-stauden-oder-silosense-sensenblatt-45-cm-metall-sensenwurf-150-cm-made-in-austria","provider":"4betterdays.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
