Function
A scythe is typically used to cut standing grain crops such as wheat and oats, but can also be used to mow hay. When the scythe is swept through the standing grain, the grain falls onto the cradle. Completing the arc of the cut, the reaper then tilts the cradle and allows the grain to fall into a neat pile, where it can then be gathered into sheaves.
Technical
The cradle scythe enabled the reaper to maintain an upright stance while harvesting grain, as opposed to the sickle, which required the reaper to stoop down to cut the standing grain.
