Hitch (
14
) is designed to mount the mower on a tractor. Drive onto cutterbar (
4
) is
transmitted from the tractor's rpm through PTO shaft onto intersecting axis gear (
19
), drive shaft
located on tiller (
13
), wide-angle PTO shaft (
6
) onto intersecting axis gear (
20
), cutterbar drive shaft
(
5
) and intersecting axis gear (
7
). Cutterbar has discs mounted with two rotary knives each. Extreme
most discs have additionally mounted swath guiding drums. Moreover drive from tractor's rpm
through intersecting axis gear (
20
), drive shaft (
10
) and belt gear (
9
) is transmitted onto swath
conditioner (
3a
) or rollers (
3b
). Cutterbar is mounted on linkage (
1
). Protective guard (
16
) is
mounted over the cutterbar. Maneuvering with the mower when driving is possible owing to two
hydraulic cylinders (
12
) which connect tiller to mower's linkage.
