Wheel movements were converted into rotary movement of cuttign blades just with simple gears, i think crafting of such device could be possible using plain metals and wood.
Purpose: mow grass and gain straw, sometimes maybe a random seed or two. Maybe a new curiosity to be found while doing it?
Mowing your lawn would of course require grass to coem in at least 2 states: fully grown and freshly mowed. Maybe after the grass is cut it could transform grassland into the yellow (forgot its name) kind of ground.

In the time-period this game is based off of not only did they not use lawn mowers, they didn't give a shit about it either. Before the most primitive push mower SHEARS were used to shorten personal plots of grass.

I could see myself mowing my lawn, greeeting Ainran as they are passing by on their latest killing spree. After my work is done I will sit in my chair on the frontporch then and read the newspaper. What a peaceful image of the hearthlands a lawn mower can create.

Need white picket fence graphic mod for roundpoles. 8-)

Or they just used livestock. Nobody has ever had a yard goat on their property? ;) :D

Cute idea, but as it's been said, it's kinda' pointless. A scythe could have this purpose, maybe.. Doubt it'll happen.
