Abstract

A rotary mower includes first and second supports extending in a predetermined direction and connected to one another end-to-end, and a set of elongated blade carriers rotatably mounted on each support. Each blade carrier, upon rotation, defines a trajectory, and neighboring blade carriers on opposite supports are mounted so that their trajectories do not overlap. First and second drive units are provided to drive each set of elongated blade carriers, respectively.
