The present invention provides a mule drive for use with a mower having a substantially horizontally-disposed output shaft. The mower includes a cutter deck having at least one rotatable cutter driven by a substantially vertically-disposed driven shaft. The mule drive includes a first idler pulley coupled to the mower for rotation about a first axis substantially transverse to the output shaft and the driven shaft, a second idler pulley coupled to the cutter deck for rotation about a second axis substantially parallel to the first axis, a third idler pulley coupled to the cutter deck for rotation about a third axis substantially parallel to the second axis, a fourth idler pulley coupled to the frame for rotation about a fourth axis substantially transverse to the output shaft and the driven shaft, and a continuous belt.
