Rely on the cutter relative shearing motion of the movable and fixed knives cutting grass, which is characterized by stubble neatly, requires less power, but forage poor adaptability, easy to plug, suitable for flat-natural grassland and artificial grassland job. The mid-1970s began to produce and use a rotary mower. Rely the blade impact on the high-speed rotating cutter cutting grass.
