Rotary mower

Rotary mower

A rotary mower is a piece of tractor machinery that is often pulled behind the tractor, powered by the Power take-off which uses thick blades of sharpened metal to cut thick grass, heavy bushes, weeds, and small small trees. Because of the high [torque] and power associated with these implements, shields made of hanging heavy chain or thick vynil or rubber are often provided around the discharge chute to control flying debris.
