Cutting apparatus particularly for cutting sods and removing plants

摘要

A cutting apparatus (15) for a vehicle, particularly for cutting sods and removing plants, comprising transmission means (16) which are connected by means of a power take-off coupled to driving means. The cutting apparatus is supported by a supporting structure (18) which is articulated to one or more axes. The cutting apparatus comprises a guiding and supporting element (20;100) which is supported by the supporting structure and is shaped so that upon assembly it is arranged like a circular arc along its longitudinal extension. A plurality of sliding blocks (21;101) is slidingly associated with the guiding and supporting element (20;100) along its edge; the sliding blocks are mutually connected and moved by a flexible element (22;102). Each sliding block supports a corresponding cutting element (23;103) which is suitable to cut and remove plants. The plurality of sliding blocks and the corresponding flexible element form a closed cutting loop which is kinematically coupled to the power take-off. <IMAGE>
