Abstract

A mowing apparatus with multiple articulating cutting decks includes a support for the cutting blades which is attached at a first side to the mower to pivot about a horizontal axis, and is carried by a rocker arm at an opposing second side. The rocker arm has ground support wheels at its opposing ends and is coupled to the second side of the support by linkage that is adjustable to vary the position of the support member relative to the rocker arm and to vary the height of the cutting blade from ground.
