Abstract

A grass cutting machine has two forward cutting units (24) and one rear central unit (46). The mechanism at, for example, the margin of a golf green, provides a time delay between lifting or lowering of the front (24) and rear cutting units (46) which is determined by the distance travelled by the machine. In this way it is ensured that all unites start and stop cutting at the same reference point on the ground.
