Abstract
A cutting implement which includes a baffle for directing the flow of air and vegetation caused by the rotation of cutting blades of the implement. The baffle serves to intercept the flows of air and vegetation of adjacent chambers to accelerate the discharge of cut material. Further, the baffle directs cut material above the cutting plane of the blade to permit the blade to raise and cut vegetation in its path when that vegetation has previously been matted down by at least one of the tires on the tractor on which it is carried.
