Hi Max
Brilliant!

The thing I like is the recognition of the bagger women.
They followed the scythesmen in collecting the cut grass.

The 'Haha' is of great interest too!

Brilliant!

G'day Jack

Yes the video was interesting ,got to see a Haha ,basket catcher , Camel mower and a hand crank mower.
Funny how the neighbours complained about how noisy the first man powered reel mowers were.

Cheers
Max.
