That's what the blade is for. You're not dragging something, you're slashing, slicing something. Grab a knife, then grab an apple. Put the knife behind the apple, and pull the blade towards you quickly (but carefully of course, don't want you to die like an idiot). Unless your knife is that bad, the apple will have been sliced. A good deal if not entirely in half.

That's why doing something like that is not the reason scythes are dangerous. That, and the fact 9/10 people don't do that when using scythes, which is why scythes suck in RL. You must slice with the blade, which means you have to keep a very specific distance while attacking. Otherwise, you hit the enemy with the pole and fail, or you miss entirely.
