I don't know if this is the right place for this but I am going to start using a sythe to cut my grass and was wondering if anyone here had expirience with one. I only have an acre of grass maybe 1.5 and have previosly been using a Honda push mower. I am young and fit and stamina will not be an issue for me. I also don't work so I can take as long as I want to. I am 6'6" and the pushmower is made for someone like 5'10" and I look retarded mowing and it RAPES my back the ergos are torture. Anyone here use a sythe before?

you're gonna end up with mad muscular imbalances unless you buy one that can be used with either hand (or get a right-handed and a left-handed one) and use your hands alternatingly

This is something I did not consider. I was planning on getting a Fux Austrian straight wooden snath that can be adjusted to either handedness. I hope this will work.

I am specifically trying to find something more ergonomic than a push mower. This seems like it would be the same.

Using a scythe really is going to give me the gooner physique. There is no winning. Fucking nip mower is humiliating to use, designed for manlets.

Your lower back is going to have one heck of a workout. Make sure you are resting it.

I do not plan on doing it all in one day. I will do it in sections alternate hands and plan on stretching often. I just made an outside pullup bar I can dead hang on and stretch some.

If you can do it, why not? Just make sure to switch arms every couple of reps.

I have been researching all day and settled on getting a right handed 22" blade with a straight austrian snath. I am going to send it I am actually really excited.
