Cutting grass on slopes

[D2Cat]

So you think you work on steep hills? They just flip it off the hillside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH0kPuBH6eg

People sure are smart for being so dang stupid sometimes.

Maybe they push it off the hill to make sure there are no leaves lift on the cutting!

Maybe they push it all into piles at the bottom?

Does anyone know what the grass cutting mechanism is? I thought maybe a long sickle bar????

I see hay cut on steeper slopes in this area. Maybe not steeper but steep. When the roller is ready to drop a roll, they take it up on top so it don't roll off in the holler. I watched my neighbor take out a section of old fence on the farm next to me when a roll took off over the hill. Yeee ha.

Yes. My thoughts too. Maybe not push but put it up loose in piles (ricks). They still rick loose hay in Europe. In the 50s and 60s farmers were still ricking hay where I was raised. They turn the cows into the pasture with the ricks. It is free choice, serve yourself.

I don't consider it steep till square bales roll to the bottem of the hill. Looks like he is about there.
