Abstract: This mower has a mower beam with at least one rotating mowing device joined on the mower beam and also on a carrying beam arranged on the hitching mount, which in the forward movement of the machine is arranged in front of and above the mower beam, whereby the carrying beam is coupled somewhat in the center of the hitching mount behind the tractor about a vertical pivot axis and whereby the carrying beam outboard half from the hitching mount is somewhat in its center provided with a horizontal pivot axis in order to permit the outer part of the carrying beam carrying the mowing device to swing upwardly by means of a hydraulic cylinder.

Abstract: A mower has a mower support mount beam with at least one rotating mowing device as well as a flexible coupling to a carrying mount beam and a hitching mount. The carrying mount, when the machine is moving forward is in front of the mower support mount and above it. A latching mechanism is supplied for the carrying mount beam which includes a biased spring member and a movable intermediate member which projects into a clasping pocket of the carrying mount beam so that a swinging locking clasp which has a pull cord thereon can grip it.

Abstract: A rotary mower has a cylindrical drum rotatable about its upright vertical axis and provided at its lower end with a downwardly and outwardly flared skirt provided on its lower side with radially projecting crop-cutting blades and on its upper side with crop-displacing ridges. A windrow-forming deflecting plate is fixed on the support of the mower adjacent the drum and has a lower edge parallel to the upper surface of the skirt and forming on juxtaposition of this lower edge with the leading edge of each of the crop-displacing ridges an outwardly open acute angle. The ridge may be pressed into the skirt or constituted as a bar secured to the top thereof and has a circularly arcuate leading edge that passes under the straight lower edge of the deflecting plate.
