ABSTRACT:
A mowing machine adapted to be connected to a three-point lifting device of a tractor and powered by a power take-off therefrom, the mowing machine extending laterally to the side of the tractor and having two mowing assemblies, each of which includes a rotor which is powered by a gear chain and belts from the power take-off and is mounted by bearings to rotate about a substantially vertical axis which also contains a stationary shaft having the same longitudinal axis as the axis of rotation of the rotor. The vertical stationary shaft has a non-rotatable ring gear at its lower aspect which is surrounded by the rotor which, by a cover plate on its underside supports spur gears which mesh with the ring gear and also cutting elements, the arrangement being that the cutting elements rotate much faster than the rotor and are caused to rotate by the meshing of their individual spur gears with the ring gear. The rotor rotates in one direction whereby crop is guided between the two rotors of the two assemblies to form a windrow and the cutting elements rotate in the opposite direction to cut the crop, the latter rotation being at least twice and preferably 8 to 10 times faster than the rotation of the rotor. Supporting dishes for supporting the cutting elements the desired height above the ground may be connected under the rotating members or at the side thereof. Arcuate segments extend from the underlying cover plate to protect the rotating cutting elements.
