Old time mowing technology with a new twist! See how it works! Save time mowing!
What happens here
The mower includes a large bar that flips over for storage, making it compact when not in use. It connects to the tractor's 3-point hitch. The mower has a hydraulic cylinder (an optional feature, a manual option is also available) that allows it to be raised and lowered. This enables mowing at various angles, from 90 degrees upwards for trimming hedges to 75 degrees downwards for pond banks or embankments, all without needing to position the tractor dangerously close to the edge. The mower is powered by the tractor's 540 PTO shaft.
Goal: Understand the setup and various operational angles of the mower.
