Allen Scythe: removing handles?

[rjy]

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)?

Looking at the machine, the left handle might come off fairly easily. However, for trnsport, I turned the whole thing onto its side, and left both handles sticking out of the right hand back door of my van (yes, the floor became slightly lubricated with oil from the machine).
