Rotary mowers are best for tall grass
A rotary mower is one of the many types of mowers used in agriculture to mow green plants. This type of mower is designed to mow very large areas and is particularly good at cutting tall grass. The cutting part of the machine is a sharp knife that rotates around its own axis. The plant is cut when the knife hits it quickly.
The principle of operation of rotary mowers
The rotary mower is also a tractor mower, which means that it needs the power of the tractor to work. It is attached to the rear three-point linkage of the tractor. Taking into account the way the knives are mounted and the type of drive transmission, rotary mowers are divided into two groups:
Rotary - drum mowers
Cutting knives rotate in a horizontal plane and are mounted on rotating drums in a plane parallel to the ground. Driven by bevel gears. The shaft drive is supplied from above.
What distinguishes them is the simple design and the need to provide high power, which in turn translates into "mowing power". Their disadvantage is the large weight, which, however, can be compensated by the easy replacement of knives and the ability to work in more demanding conditions. Drum models work well on uneven terrain, and their invaluable advantage is the fact that they rarely clog. Easy service access to all mechanical elements, e.g. knives, is also its advantage.
Rotary - disc mowers
the drive in such devices is transmitted through rack systems. The mechanism is located in a flat bar located under the discs responsible for mowing. They have the form of flat plates with cutting knives mounted around the circumference.
The main advantages of disc rotary mowers are their low weight and low power requirements. Thanks to this, the drive system puts up less resistance. Farmers appreciate them for their ability to work at high speeds and for the precise mowing of areas. This type of mower works best on flat, even surfaces.
Use of rotary mowers
Distinguishing rotary mowers into drum and disc mowers, we have already mentioned what type of surface they are adapted to. In general, he can say that they are suitable for mowing: meadows, tall grasses, green mass, uneven areas, as well as for precise mowing of grass in orchards or creating hay.
The best selection of rotary mowers
We recommend two rotary mowers in our store:
RDS120 GEOGRASS drum mower
