In my home town, there is a field that is one mile long.  Not very  
wide.  But I was told that a team could only make three passes in one  
day.  Either because the day was done, or the horses were worn out, I  
dunno which.

Which reminds me, we have here a scythe blade.  No handle. There was  
mention earlier here that American and European scythes are not the  
same. I suppose a scythe handle needs to be sized for the person, and  
the curves are not simple.  And opposite for left handers?
