Rotary Mowers

Historical Background

The first practical concept of a rotary type mower goes back to the 1930's. The concept evolved from the need for a grass maintenance tool that could cut long grass acceptably without the cost and sophistication of a reel mower.

During the 1940's improvements in engines and material brought about increased use of rotaries but it wasn't until after World War II that their use became a common sight.

During the 1960's the bagging concept evolved and rotary designs incorporated multi- blade configurations useful for cutting large commercial type areas.
