REQUEST: Vintage hand push lawn-mower mod

[Kreeate]

Hello!

 

Basically a device that cuts grass down to block level, quickly and easily. (remove tall and short grass entirely, and dropping some dry grass )

If anyone could make a mod for this I'd be eternally grateful. I'm tired of having to use my knife to clear large areas of grass.  The scythe is fine for tall grass, but it leaves the short grass intact it's so sloooow .

 

Here are some pictures of vintage mowers ( for inspiration )

 

Anyone up for the challenge?

If you press the tool option key while holding the scythe ( I think that's F for a standard setup), you'll have the option for the scythe to remove all grass, rather than just trim.

With that being said, a rolling cutter would be a LOT faster than a scythe swinging about

Thanks very much for the tip! 400hrs in and I didn't know that, lol.

Just tested the scythe and as you mentioned, a rolling cutter would be much faster.  The scythe is marginally faster than my meteoric iron knife.

Here's to hoping someone would take on the challenge
