What happens here

For safety, the mower includes an engagement rope that allows the operator to disengage the flail blades from the towing vehicle. To engage the blades, you manually press a lever on the mower. To disengage them, pull the white rope attached to the mower and leading to the ATV/UTV. This action releases the tension on the drive belt, stopping the blades. The operator also shows the underside of the mower, highlighting the heavy-duty flail chains and the adjustable skid shoes, which help the mower glide over uneven terrain and prevent digging into the ground.

Goal: Understand safety and cutting mechanism
