Don't fear the reaper.

Unless you're in front of it. Then you should probably fear.

I would sure like to see the business end of that thing.

Is that tea? Some sort of herb?

Is it using a flail to cut the crop?

No a flail would grind the crop into silage. This would have to either be a sickle section mower or have a Blade or blades mounted on vertical spindle/s.

That was kind of my thought too. He is only cutting on the very right side of the machine. I think the "push blade" is just there to keep the tall crop from spinning away by directing to lay down in a neat row.

It would be interesting to see what cuts the stems, and what directs then to all fall to the left. And what kind of plant he is cutting.
