Anyone know about Allen Scythes?

I’m hoping to pick up an Allen Scythe, but I don’t think it will fit in my Vauxhall Combo (70″ load length, I think the Allen Scythe is 6′ 3″).

Is it (or should it be…) a reasonably easy job to get the handles off?

I guess that it might be possible to remove the cutting bar, but I’m unsure how much space that would give. Might another possibility be to lie it on its side (would any oil that might be in it run out)?

Hello brilli8ant machines them ,beggars to use if they get away from you ,is it a Villiers 2 stroke engine  or the later Villiersc  stroke engine ,my Grandad at use to operate one that had been adapted to mow ditch sides ,it had steel spade lug wheels on it,  the cutter bar was on the front right hand side on a short arm ,saved a lot of scything ditch sides out    jezza
