Rotary Mower

An agricultural rotary mower is a versatile piece of equipment used in farming and landscaping operations to cut grass, weeds, and other vegetation. It consists of a rotating blade or blades attached to a power source, usually a tractor’s power take-off (PTO). This type of mower is commonly used for large-scale mowing tasks in agricultural fields, pastures, orchards, and roadside maintenance.

Here’s an overview of the key components and features of an agricultural rotary mower:

1. Blades: The mower typically has multiple blades mounted on a horizontal or vertical axis. These blades rotate rapidly, cutting vegetation as the mower is driven across the field. The blades can be made of steel or other durable materials that can withstand the rigors of cutting dense vegetation.

2. Power Source: Agricultural rotary mowers are usually powered by a tractor through the PTO. The tractor’s engine powers the PTO, which transfers the energy to the mower’s blades. This arrangement allows for efficient and effective cutting, as the tractor provides the necessary power and mobility.

3. Cutting Width and Height: Rotary mowers come in various sizes and cutting widths, ranging from several feet to over 20 feet (approximately 0.6 to 6 meters). The cutting height can often be adjusted to accommodate different vegetation types and desired mowing heights.

4. Deck Design: The mower’s cutting deck is the structure that houses the blades and guides the mowing process. It is typically designed to be durable and capable of withstanding impacts from rocks, stumps, and other obstacles in the field. Some mowers have a floating deck that allows for better maneuverability and contour following, ensuring an even cut on uneven terrain.
