niittokoneella
A niittokoneella, often translated as a "mower" or "scythe," refers to a tool or machine used for cutting grass or other vegetation. Historically, the term would have primarily referred to a hand-held scythe, a long, curved blade attached to a handle. This manual tool was essential for harvesting crops, clearing fields, and maintaining pastures before the advent of mechanized agriculture.

In modern usage, "niittokoneella" can also encompass a wider range of mowing machines. This includes lawnmowers,
