Abstract: An apparatus and method for supply of treating fluid to a cutting apparatus directly to cut vegetation substantially simultaneously with the cutting of the vegetation. Treating fluid is delivered from the supply to an intermediate, sealed reservoir into which a desired volume of treating fluid is maintained and a rotary shaft seal is provided to seal the reservoir against entrance of debris. The treating fluid is then delivered from the sealed reservoir, via centrifugal force, through a channel to a passageway formed in the bolt connecting the cutting blade to a blade mount of the mower.

The treating fluid is then delivered from the sealed reservoir, via centrifugal force, through a channel to a passageway formed in the bolt connecting the cutting blade to a blade mount of the mower. The treating fluid is ejected from the bolt passage directly onto the exposed undersurface of the cutting blade and directly to the vegetation at the same time that it is cut so that the treatment fluid, herbicide or other chemical is absorbed directly into the translocation system of the cut vegetation.

Abstract: A rotary mower for cutting vegetation including grass, brush and the like, and more particularly to a rotary ditch mower having a main body and extension wings or side sections supporting a number of cutting blades. The main body and extension wings are supported by contour following ground wheels and the main body also foldably supports the extension wings which may be inclined relative to the main body. The mower is also provided with a hitch pole for pull behind connection with a tractor and an articulation mechanism of the main body and extension wings for adjustment of cutting height over varying terrain during cutting operations as well as for raising the extension wings to a transport position and for raising the mower to a substantially vertical position, i.e., the main body and extension wings raised perpendicular with respect to the ground to facilitate servicing and maintenance of the mower.
