This application describes a turfgrass mowing system having one or more turfgrass mower cutting units and one or more turfgrass brushing assemblies. The turfgrass brushing assemblies are pivotally coupled to the turfgrass mower cutting units with a pivot coupling on a frame assembly of the turfgrass mower cutting units. The turfgrass brushing assemblies include a brush holder assembly coupled to the frame assembly with a vertically adjustable coupling, an angle adjustable coupling, or both. A brush is coupled to the brush holder assembly of each turfgrass brushing assemblies. With the turfgrass brushing assemblies pivotally coupled to the turfgrass mower cutting units, a user may brush turfgrass with the turfgrass system to stand the turfgrass upright immediately before cutting the turfgrass with the turfgrass mower cutting unit, thus improving the cut of the turfgrass.

An agricultural vehicle including a chassis and a header connected to the chassis. The header includes a frame, at least one crop divider connected to the frame and having a crop divider body with at least one opening therein, and at least one down crop gatherer rotatably mounted to the at least one crop divider and at least partially extending through the at least one opening of the crop divider body. The at least one down crop gatherer has a first rotational direction. The header also includes a drive unit rotatably mounted to the at least one crop divider and contacting the at least one down crop gatherer. The drive unit has a second rotational direction and is configured for contacting the field and driving the at least one down crop gatherer in its first rotational direction.
