The first known lawn mower had a cylinder cutting gear made of iron. [citation needed] It was used to mow sporting grounds and wide-ranging gardens.As manufacturers changed the design and structure of mowers, the cutting mechanism also developed and evolved into several varieties, including cylinder/reel blades, deck blades, mulching blades, and lifting blades.
The lawn mower was invented in 1830 by Edwin Beard Budding of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England. [1] Budding's mower was designed primarily to cut the grass on sports grounds and extensive gardens, as a superior alternative to the scythe, and was granted a British patent on August 31, 1830.
A flail mower is a type of powered garden/agricultural equipment which is used to deal with heavier grass/scrub which a normal lawn mower could not cope with. Some smaller models are self-powered, but many are PTO driven implements, which can attach to the three-point hitches found on the rear of most tractors .
