A turf cutting machine, more particularly a four-wheel drive turf cutting machine, is provided. The turf cutting machine has a transmission arrangement which includes a transmission belt arranged between a rear axle pulley and a front axle pulley and which further includes a plurality of deflection pulleys which are arranged between the rear axle pulley and the front axle pulley so as to define a path for the transmission belt that extends from a rear axle to a front axle and then back to the rear axle passing over a cutting blade.

An assembly for connecting an attachment to a support structure of a machine is disclosed. The assembly includes a holder on the support structure of the machine and a cam element to lock the attachment to the support structure. The cam element is rotationally connected to the support structure and rotates between an unlocked position and a locked position. As disclosed, in the locked position, the cam element extends through an opening along a backside of the holder to engage an indent surface on a backside of an attachment arm to secure the attachment to the machine.
