ABSTRACT:
A cutting apparatus having a modular profiled casing for cutting plants and intended, in particular, for equipping vine trimmers. The modular profiled casing is made up of a number of cutting elements attached longitudinally to one another for the purpose of reciprocal drive by at least one motor with one of the cutting heads being integral in rotation with the other cutting heads through a system of double pulleys and belts. All the cutting elements are connected together and covered by the same profiled cover having a convex profile forming a leading edge and includes a vegetation detector forming a trailing edge that, respectively, facilitate the penetration and displacement of the casing in the vegetation and the removal of cut branches.
