ABSTRACT:
A mowing machine connectable by its frame to a three-point lift device of a tractor and powered by the power take-off of the tractor via belts and a gear train, to extend laterally relative to one side of the tractor. An outboard portion of the frame forms a housing for a gear train that rotates crop displacing members thereunder about shafts each having a gear supported at the lower end thereof which engages pinions on parallel offset shafts for mowing elements. Supporting members under each mowing element are offset to the rear to support the machine. A screening member extends above the mowing elements and to the rear where it is bent downwardly to be spaced a distance less than the height of the mowing element above the ground. Forward the screening member is crenated as seen from above so cutters pivotly mounted from each mowing element describe a cutting arc of about 60.degree. parallel to the adjacent arcuate portion of the screening member. Crop displacing members each consist of four sets of spring steel tines extending outwardly from a shaft supporting such members from rotor members welded to the shaft and spaced 90.degree. from each other. The lower tines are bent downwardly to the vicinity of the cutters. Shaped covers on the screening member cover the lower gear and pinions. A pair of swath forming members each comprising a frame and resilient tines connected at either side of the screening member and outboard frame portion may be selectively secured in a plurality of angular settings to the rearward from the screening member.
