This discussion about using a scythe and how it compares to a whipper snipper or brushcutter came initially from @Jeff Keys post over here Whipper snipper cord thread where he gave a persuasive argument to ditch the power tools for the ancient scythe - it deserves a separate discussion.
I think this topic is a very interesting one and personally I don't know much at all about scythes or how to use one so exploring the possibilities (pros and cons) and the best way to use a tool such as this will be helpful.
I guess the first thing that comes to mind (for me) when considering a scythe vs whipper snipper is edging...
I get how the scythe can cut fields of grass, crops, or weeds, etc but a whipper snipper with cord is hard to beat when used on fence lines, around garden beds, and buildings - any thoughts?
