A mower has a plurality of rotary cutters for cutting a crop and a swathing unit for forming a cut crop into a swath. In some embodiments, the swathing unit includes an auger and a housing that extends around at least part of the auger and provides a swathing aperture through which cut crop material is ejected to form a swath. In some embodiments, the housing includes at least one guide plate that can be adjusted to adjust the width W of the swathing aperture.

A multi-configurable mower deck for use with a lawnmower, the mower deck including a top surface, a front leading edge, at least one side wall extending from the top surface, and at least one partial rear wall extending from the top surface. The mower deck includes both a side-discharge opening formed on one side of the mower deck and a rear-discharge opening formed through the at least one partial rear wall. Additionally, the mower deck may include a selectively removable secondary front baffle configured to block the flow of clippings through the side-discharge opening and direct the flow of clippings toward the rear-discharge opening. The mower deck may also include at least one selectively removable rear baffle, wherein the at least one selectively removable rear baffle is configured to at least partially block the rear-discharge opening.

A mower working drum located on a cutting bar is mounted detachably to a hub and is provided at the bottom with cutting knives in a cutting disc, and above the disc is provided axially a drum sidewall. On the drum wall are provided ejecting elements. From the top, the drum has a cover provided detachably. Under the cover and between the ejecting elements mounted on the drum are limiting blades, and in the bottom section of the drum, in a counter-clockwise direction to the limiting blades mounted are lifting blades.

An undercarriage of a rotary mower deck has a cutting chamber and encloses at least two cutting blades attached to a spindle. A flange encloses lateral sides of the cutting chamber to prevent discharge of debris laterally. A debris guide positioned toward a front end of the cutting chamber has the effect of reducing or eliminating formation of wind rows.

A cutting deck for housing first and second cutting blades rotatable inside a cutting chamber is provided. The cutting deck includes a weldment including a top plate and side plates. The top plate includes first and second shaft reception orifices, and a flow control assembly extending away from the top plate to define an airflow channel between the flow control assembly and the side plates. The flow control assembly includes a first directional changing portion proximate to the first shaft reception orifice and a second directional changing portion proximate to the second shaft reception orifice. The first and second directional changing portions are separated from each other by straight portions. The first and second directional changing portions are passed over only by respective ones of the first and second cutting blades, and both the first and second cutting blades pass over the straight portions.

A mulch kit control lever includes a handle pivotably mounted to a support plate with a tension spring connecting the handle to the support plate and urging the handle to pivot to either a mulching position or a side discharge position relative to the support plate. The tension spring is connected before the mulch kit control lever is installed on the mower deck. A retainer slides in a slot in one of the support plate and the handle preventing over-travel of the handle past the mulching position and the side discharge position.

The present disclosure relates to a lawnmower for processing lawn surface. The lawn mower comprises a chassis, at least partially carried by a set of wheels adapted to rest on the lawn surface, and one or more cutting devices suspended by the chassis. An outer cover, enclosing the chassis and is open towards the lawn surface to form an enclosed space between the outer cover and the lawn surface. A divider plate divides the enclosed space into an upper space and a cutting space, the divider plate generally extending along a plane that is approximately parallel with the lawn surface. The cutting device projects through an opening in the divider plate and edges of the divider plate are connected to the outer cover.

In a mower (10) driven by a pair of electric motors (15) and using an engine (14) for driving a cutter blade (22), a fuel tank (16) for supplying fuel to the engine is positioned in a space surrounded by the electric motors and a chute (30) for forwarding grass clippings to a grass collection bag (23). The chute extends rearward with an upward slant, and is bent in side view in such a manner that a lower part has a steeper incline than an upper part thereof.

Provided is a mower unit mountable to a traveling vehicle body. The mower unit includes a mower deck, a plurality of blades supported to the mower deck to be rotatable about vertical rotational axes, and a rear vacuum plate disposed rearwardly of rotational locus circles of the plurality of blades and attached to a lower face of the mower deck. The rear vacuum plate includes a plurality of arcuate portions formed arcuate to extend along the respective rotational locus circles of the blades and a convexly curved portion curved to extend into a triangular gap portion formed between two adjacent rotational locus circles, the convex curved portion bridging opposed ends of two adjacent arcuate portions. The convexly curved portion and the arcuate portions are connected to maintain a continuous curve.
