Abstract: A mowing machine having a four-wheel drive mechanism, together with a mowing unit below the machine body. The mowing machine has an engine in front or at the rear of the traveling machine body, a transmission case close to the engine, and the four-wheel drive mechanism for allowing driving front and rear wheels by transmitting drive force from the transmission case to rear and front axle cases, wherein a remote transmission part for transmitting the drive force to the axle case located more remote from the transmission case in the four-wheel drive mechanism is formed in an upwardly bent or curved shape, and a space for placing the mowing unit is provided below the remote transmission part. The mowing unit is provided below the traveling machine body movably upwards or downwards, and an expansion shaft expansible in an axial core direction is used to transmit the drive force from the engine to the mowing unit.
