ABSTRACT:
A multiple blade brush-cutting mower apparatus is provided for cutting vegetation and brush, and for applying treatment liquids directly from the cutting blades onto the cut ends of vegetation at the moment of cutting. The mower is attachable to either the front or rear end of a standard tractor. The mower provides multiple pairs of blades staggered across the width of the mower, providing consistent blade edge exposure to cut vegetation over areas as wide as the width of the tractor. The mower incorporates a completely closed treatment fluid application system that directly applies treatment fluids (herbicides, fertilizers, sterilizing agents, and growth regulators) onto the lower surface of the cutting blades, for simultaneous application of treatment fluids to cut vegetation stems at the time of initial cutting. At the moment of cutting, treatment fluid is simultaneously applied to the cut stems, applying fluid into the cut, open pores, with resulting transfer of fluids down through the pores into the plant roots. The multiple blade configuration clears vegetation efficiently at a lower costs, with substantially less application of toxic chemicals per treated acre than existing large single blade mowers and spraying operations. The multiple blades are relatively small, lightweight, easily maintained, yet efficiently cut brush, up to approximately six inches in diameter. The multiple blades require a smaller horsepower tractor for operating the multiple blade mower, with elimination of treatment fluid overspray to the ground.
