<p>An impact mower including a guide bar, an endless flexible cutting belt entrained on the guide bar, drive means for driving the cutting belt around the guide bar, and the improvement which comprises a reel mounted above the guide bar. Said reel having end plates that support raking bars. The raking bars are curved to conform to the curved path of the cutting belt as it is driven across the leading edge of the guide bar. Bearing means supporting the raking bars on the end plates fix the orientation of the raking bars so that the curve of the raking bars are always parallel to the curve of the path of the cutting belt and so that tines carried by the raking bar always point downwardly. The reel is pivotally mounted for rotation in a plane offset from the direction of movement of the mower. The tines carried by the raking bars are thus moved angularly toward the leading edge of the guide bar to rake the material being mown into the path of the cutting belt.</p> |
