Abstract: A cutting apparatus for a vehicle, particularly for cutting sods and removing plants, comprising a transmission device which is connected by elements a power take-off coupled to a driving device. The cutting apparatus is supported by a supporting structure which is articulated to one or more axes. The cutting apparatus comprises a guiding and supporting element which is supported by the supporting structure and is shaped so that upon assembly it is arranged like a circular arc along its longitudinal extension. A plurality of sliding blocks is slidingly associated with the guiding and supporting element along its edge; the sliding blocks are mutually connected and moved by a flexible element. Each sliding block supports a corresponding cutting element which is suitable to cut and remove plants. The plurality of sliding blocks and the corresponding flexible element form a closed cutting loop which is kinematically coupled to the power take-off.

Abstract: The device has springs arranged diametrically opposite with respect to a shaft that is coupled to a generator of torsional vibrations. The springs are rigidly coupled between first supporting elements that rotate with the shaft and second supporting elements that are rigidly coupled to a gear system that is freely mounted on the shaft. The gear system is coupled to a motor for actuating rotation of the shaft.
