<p>A driven cylinder mower comprises a mower body (101) and a grass box (106). An electric motor drives a cutter assembly (202), and also a turbo fan (407) drawing air through an opening (207), both mounted in the mower body (101). The grass box (106) has a mouth (304) over the cutters assembly (202) and an opening (302) which mates with the opening (207) in the mower body (101), and through which the turbo fan (407) sucks air from the cutting region through the grass box (106). The air from the turbo fan (407) may be discharged within a skirt (404) on the underside of the mower body (161) to assist in supporting the mower above the ground. This skirt (404), and the land wheels (203, 204) and rear roller (205), lie behind the cutter assembly (202), so as to avoid flattening the grass before it reaches the cutter assembly (202). The land wheels (203, 204) are preferably inset, so that they run only on cut grass.</p> |
